My experience so far has been excellent.
My son joined the nursery when he was 11 months old. The transition experience was very positive. The nursery stuck to my home routine (e.g. nap times), staff was very flexible and understanding. My son settled happily from day 1.
The separate sleeping room, complete with cots and blankets is a plus, not present in other nurseries I have visited.
All staff are friendly and he has a great bond with all of them. His current keyworker (who he loves!) is excellent, she really knows him well. The team keeps us informed on all aspects of his day and are happy to give us some advice if needed (which is important to us first-time parents).
Kids are offered a number of different activities. There is an outdoor area (with separate space for babies).
I am impressed with the range of food that kids get each week (which is freshly cooked on site).
A great nursery where I feel comfortable leaving my son knowing he is being properly cared for. Thank you!
Would highly recommend this nursery in a convenient location. Friendly and welcoming staff. My daughter is thriving in this environment.

My son joined the nursery when he was 8 months old (he is now 2). He spends 5 days a week at the nursery and really enjoys his time there. The nursery staff is very friendly, caring, and responsive to individual requests. I appreciate very much the variety of activities organised for kids and parents at our nursery, e.g. Halloween party, Christmas party, sports day, and photo sessions. I value the individual approach and also respect for various cultural traditions. Moreover, I think that the multicultural environment at our nursery is extremely beneficial for the child's personal development. Our nursery offers a variety of healthy food options and also can accommodate individual dietary requests.
As a full-time working parent, I would very much appreciate if you could consider the possibility of opening the nursery on Saturdays (half or full day).
Really happy with this nursery. All staff are fab and my daughter loves it here. I was very worried about putting her into a nursery but couldn’t be happier with my choice.

Our child has been in the nursery for 4 years. She is now in pre-school and really enjoys it. The staff are well trained and make the children very welcome. There is a garden so the children play outdoors almost every day. I can highly recommend this nursery.

My child has developed a lot since he is joined this nursery. The staff are very good. They show much interest in every child and the way they provide details about each child's day and activities to the parent is very impressive.

Fantastic communications (phoning me up to let me know that my son has settled etc.) - this was really appreciated and eased my mind for the rest of the day! Thank you!!

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 9 months old. I cannot praise the staff enough for their caring attitude towards all the children. My daughter is very happy there and always gets excited when she gets to the front door in the morning. She takes part in a wide range of engaging activities and I have watched her confidence grow over the past months. She has gone from shy baby to a 'chatterbox' toddler.
My daughter is very happy at Annandale. She loves her carers and has friends there she can't wait to see when we're walking in the morning. She's always happy when we go to pick her up and it seems like she has a good routine, sitting down straight away for her breakfast and is then happy to say...
My daughter is very happy at Annandale. She loves her carers and has friends there she can't wait to see when we're walking in the morning. She's always happy when we go to pick her up and it seems like she has a good routine, sitting down straight away for her breakfast and is then happy to say goodbye when we leave her for the day. She's always doing activities which we're really happy with.
The work the carers have done on the potty training really seems to have worked, and she's really coming along when at home, which we are sure is due to this.
Her confidence and independence we think is due a lot to how nicely she's developing under the care of the Annandale staff and the play with her friends. Very happy.
