Our oldest son has been attending Artemis for over two years now and we are so happy with how well he has been cared for and how much he enjoys it. He has made lots of friends there and gets disappointed on the days he does not attend nursery! Our youngest son has recently started in the baby room and has settled so well already thanks to the amazing staff. The communication is very good and the staff really care for the children and know them well. We would highly recommend this nursery.

Our son has been going here for around 6 months now, when he started he was very shy and extremely cautious around new people. The team at Artemis have really helped develop his skills and personality. Now my son can’t wait to get off to nursery and see his friends and the staff. The changes we’ve noticed in him have been amazing. All the while the staff post regular updates and photos on the baby days app which is great for us to see his progress. Thank you to everyone involved at this nursery.

Our daughter absolutely loves Artemis Nursery! We were a bit worried when she started as she was born in lockdown and hadn't socialised much, the team were brilliant and really helped to ease her in and keep us updated. Her days are packed full of activities and we receive regular updates and pics via the app, the food menu is fantastic too. We've been really impressed with this nursery and would highly recommend it.

Our daughter has been going here for 2 years now. It's always a daunting thing sending off your child into the care of others, but I can't fault anything about the team. Everyone is lovely and committed and my daughter loves every day. The only negative is the limited amount of outdoor space, but we knew that from the start. Don't chose this nursery if you want a forest school experience for your child but there us still some outdoor play which they love.

We send both our daughters to this lovely nursery. There are so many good things to say about Artemis; the activities the children do, the core values they instill, the general ethos of kindness, sharing and friendship, which are the crux of the establishment. However, the best thing about this nursery and the main reason we send our girls there is down to the attitude and care of each and every member of staff. It's not easy to hand your young baby or toddler over to someone else - but the staff at Atremis are some of the most caring and compassionate early learning professionals we've had the pleasure to meet. I know my daughters are cared for. And I know my daughters FEEL cared for. They enjoy nursery, it has never been a struggle to get them there. I know every member of staff, even if they do not directly look after one of my daughters. I'll actually be sad to send my kids to school - they love it there!
