Review from N C (Mother of Child) published on 22 January 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My child was poorly and all the staff were brilliant looking after him and really helpful giving him his medication and giving him his asthma medication as they have a lot of children to look after at the same time. Also the staff are great at school runs and making sure the children are cared for and safe.

Overall Experience

I would really recommend Minnows. My son has been coming here since he was 9 months old. The staff are absolutely brilliant, all of them make an effort with myself and my child. He has come on a lot since he has been here, it's been great for his development. The food menu is also brilliant, healthy meals.

Review from Leanne M (Mother of Child) published on 3 August 2015 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son started Minnows in April, he has come along so well with his confidence and is much more playful in activities as a 2 year old should. My son has mild hearing loss and glue ear and the nursery has a speech therapist weekly which is great as he manages only to have it every three mornings at home. Outside they have a fantastic fort with a slide but it is a shame it has no green grass for the children to run more and let off some energy. The staff are wonderful and always at hand to help of give advice . The cook works hard and makes scrumptious lunches for my son. Thank you to a great nursery managed by a good team leader and a fantastic nursery manager.

The staff at Minnows are really good with the parents and children, they make it really easy for you to leave your child knowing they are well looked after. They always give you information on how your child's day has been and how they are progressing.
