We found Our Den by an online search engine, we were led through the sign up process by Margaret who explained everything clearly. My daughters key worker Keeli has built a very strong bong with her which is lovely to see. The meals provided are healthy and nutritious, and I am always updated with the daily schedule and pictures on the day/activities by the app. We have already signed our youngest up.

We are extremely happy to find this nursery. Teachers are genuine, warm and approachable. The environment is safe, caring, friendly and welcoming. My daughter goes there with ease, settled well pretty quickly and developed an amazing bond with her key worker. Each time she comes out of the nursery, happy, dancing and full of enthusiasm. There are a variety of activities, carefully planned according to the child's interests and needs. My daughter enjoys dancing, drawing and outdoor exploration. She has learnt about colours, numbers daily routine tasks, made new friends and gradually became more independent and confident. With a heart full of gratitude, I would highly recommend Our Den @ Hillside Nursery!

My daughter has settled in really well. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. They put on lovely activity's for the children and spend time lots of time outdoors. Receive great updates throughout the day via app, aswell as good communication at pick up and we get invited into the nursery a lot for different occasions which is really nice. Really happy with this nursery.

What truly won me over, though, were the teachers. I trust them completely. My son goes to them so naturally, as if they are part of the family, which says everything. A special shoutout to Marge, Kim & all the other teachers for being absolutely amazing with him. They keep me updated throughout the day & regularly upload photos on the app so I can see what he's doing. He has learned so much already thanks to their care and dedication. I can't recommend this nursery highly enough. It has been such a positive experience for us.
