All my kids attended this nursery and they absolutely loved their 'aunties'. I would highly recommend to all. They are very flexible and understanding and take excellent care of all the kids. A report is given to the parent at the end of the day regarding what their child has eaten and activities done. Staff are very friendly and management is amazing. This nursery is second to none and location is brilliant. Love alphabets day nursery. It's a second home to the kids!
