We have been deeply disappointed with the experience at this nursery.
The management appears disorganised, unprofessional, and unfriendly,
which unfortunately extends to interactions with both parents and
children. Communication is poor - for instance, our child's key worker
was relocated without any notice or explanation. This lack of
transparency, combined with a high staff turnover, has created a real
lack of consistency and continuity in our child's care. The condition of
the outdoor areas is also a serious concern. The gardens are dated and
poorly maintained, with broken items left near doorways - posing a clear
safety hazard for curious children. The doorbells are non-functional,
and overall, the setting feels neglected and stale, particularly when it
comes to the learning and play equipment provided. Children deserve a
clean, professional, and safe environment to explore and grow. Sadly,
this nursery does not currently meet those expectations. Urgent
improvements are needed.
