Review from Sorcha H (Mother of Child) published on 18 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Amazing nursery. All the staff are wonderful and go above and beyond with the help they offer (for both parent and child). Genuinely lovely people and all very hardworking; giving 110% with everything they do.
Personally felt very reassured with my experience.
Setting itself is fantastic. They offer yummy, nutritional snacks for the children and a plethora of activities to help the children learn through play.

Couldn't recommend enough!

Review from Kieren B (Father of Child) published on 4 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with this nursery. Our 4 year old old has absolutely thrived here and thats down to the wonderful staff and the warm, friendly environment they create every day.

The team are incredible, approachable, and genuinely caring. It's clear they truly love what they do, and that shows in how comfortable and happy the children are. The range of activities is fantastic always engaging, creative, and well thought out and it's lovely to see how much our child is learning while having so much fun.

Communication with parents is excellent. We always feel informed, listened to, and reassured, which makes a huge difference. There's a real sense of trust and communication.

We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

Very happy with preschool, they made my son feel very comfortable since he started in November 2025. He loves to sing back to me all the songs they sing at the setting. His vocabulary has improved so much and he has made new friends.

Excellent pre school. My daughter started in September 2025 and has separation anxiety. She is doing so much better now. She still gets a bit upset, but soon settles and has lots of fun, always telling me what she's been doing when I collect her and she is now making new friends.
