Having moved home and nursery my son was a little unsettled due to everything being new. The staff here have been amazing helping him grow more confident and he loves to see his friends. Their meals are fantastic and the care and attention is second to none. My son loves going so much he walks himself in! I've been able to meet the owners and other higher up staff which you don't get at a lot of places, it just gives you that peace of mind they are well looked after.
Fantastic all round!

My name is Kim, and I have worked in childcare for almost 21 years. I hold a Level 3 qualification in Children’s Care and Development and have progressed throughout my career into a management role, which I absolutely love.
Throughout my journey, I have completed a wide range of additional training, covering areas such as SEND and safe sleep, to continue developing my knowledge and skills. One of the most rewarding parts of my role is watching the children in our care grow, develop and flourish as they prepare for their next big step into school.
