Overall Experience
My daughter attended Plantos Nursery from August 2015 to August 2016, she started part time school in September in September 2015 so Plantos would provide breakfast and then carry out the wrap around service to school dropping off and picking up and then have her for the rest of the day.
All of the staff were fantastic from management, wrap around service to key workers.
My daughter made some great friends and learnt so much, the nursery offers structure, a routine, fun, learning and allows the child to grow.

My daughter has a few challenges along the way with different phases but Plantos was supportive of her needs and would regularly phone me with updates of behaviour/progress throughout the day. Such a lovely bunch of people, I can't recommend them enough!
