My son has a great time at Meadowside and is always happy to be dropped in the mornings. He has lots of friends and a great relationship with all the staff.
Both my boys have attended this nursery over the last 4 years and it is excellent. They really follow the interests of the children, having no problem with helping the kids make dens or go outside even in bad weather. They are always thinking up new ways to help the kids learn through activities that engage them, like turning big letters into roads to drive cars along. It's not full of plastic toys either but big wooden blocks for building, home corners for role play, they have been known to bring in old phones for the children to take apart which they loved! Sometimes they'll get the small world animals out and make a snow scene with shaving foam and let the kids get messy! They encourage the kids to partake in food preparation and the cleanup and really foster independence. It's a great nursery!
