First nursery that we chose for my baby girl and nothing to complain! Amazing manager- always answering for all of my questions. Ladies taking care of children are so nice- my baby love them! Great communication with parents, never nothing to complain. Place that you can trust.

Our family has had the best experience with this nursery. The staff are so kind and my daughter absolutely loves them, as well as the nursery itself and the friends she has met The planning that goes into each day makes it a great learning and fun environment for the children. The communication is excellent and my daughter enjoys the extras such as sports. Also a great outdoor space. We will be very sad when she leaves for reception in September. Highly recommended

Amazing nursery, delighted with my children's comfort levels and support here. The staff are incredible and really take away the never ending mum guilt. Phenomenal atmosphere, two kids in and no concerns about sending the third. There is nowhere else I would dream of sending my little ones. The staff here are beyond anything I have ever seen and perfect for the children. My kids love and adore them!

Outstanding nursery! The staff are lovely and treat the kids like they are their own. My son loves going in and has made so many friends. He has learnt so much and taken part in lots of different activities. I love the daily updates and pictures of his day.

as someone who has seen this nursery the way the staff treat some of the kids is horrible kissing 6month babies on the lips? outrageous. And dividing kids by their race to go eat is wrong too not old that if a kids crying they will get told to shut up or to “that’s enough now” and most the children and babies have nappy rashes bc none of the staff change the babies and children when its needed only by the schedule
