My daughter has been at Hopefield since she was 2yrs old. She loves going to nursery and the staff have been wonderful. She has so much fun every day and the variety of food she gets is fantastic. I know she will miss everyone including her besties as she leaves for school this year, but I have doubts BB Hopefield have prepared her as best they can for this transition. Thank you so much for all you've done for my little lady
The main comment is our child seems very happy at nursery, and we have seen a big difference in her learning and confidence. We appreciate the help with her attachment issue with her teddy which she is getting better with. We feel, and so does her key worker that she is ready for school, so thanks for your help with this.
I have used this nursery for my son & daughter & wouldn't use any other private nursery. Its great to see that some of the staff have remained throughout that period of everyone tries their best. The garden is fantastic & my children have loved their time here.
Staff are really good at communicating both during check in & out. Quick & prompt responses on the app messages
