Review from Holly J (Mother of Child) published on 19 November 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 9-months-old, she has transitioned from the baby room to the main room.

She enjoys going to every session and always has fun with her friends learning and playing. I have seen a real difference in her speech and confidence since she has been going to nursery, I would most definitely recommend Choochoos Day Nursery to any parent.

Overall Experience
My son has been going here since he was 7-months-old. He’s always happy to go and enjoys every session from the food to playing with friends. It’s given him the confidence to mix with other children and feel secure around adults other than his family.

I would recommend Choochoos Day Nursery Dover to any parent.
