I am writing this review after meeting with the head of the nursery today. The entire staff at this nursery is truly exceptional—they care for your child as if he were their own. When my son was about three years old, I was searching for a nursery for him. He has some developmental challenges and has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. During my search, several nurseries refused to accept him because he requires one-to-one attention due to his developmental delay. Eventually, Shona from Nottinghamshire provided me with details about this nursery. They welcomed my son despite his developmental needs and have treated him with genuine care. Every staff member is outstanding. Today, the head of the nursery took the time to sit down with me and help address the challenges I am facing with my son’s development. Simply outstanding people.

Absolutely love this nursery and they are a key part of the family helping raise my little one! My little boy has been at the nursery for a year now and from day 1 has thrived! The staff are fantastic, the atmosphere is homely, welcoming and fun. I went for a look around before he started and immediately felt at home. The baby room is set out lovely and opens out into a lovely bright and airy conservatory, as well as onto a lovely outdoor space that the under 2s can play in safely. They also have access to another outdoor space where they have their own chicks and some lovely wooden outdoor play equipment. The different rooms for different ages just flow and work together. If the little ones want to see what the older ones are doing or vice versa, then this is allowed and encouraged. The nursery workers are all amazing and one thing that i absolutely love about the nursery is the daily updates on paper or Tapestry. Having this option to see what my little one has been up too as well as being told is great. The early year’s curriculum is followed to help all ages learn and I really like getting regular ‘progress reports’ as well as seeing on tapestry when he has met different stage criteria. Overall, I would highly recommend this nursery and wish we had lived locally when my first son was at the nursery age.

Great Nursery, the girls really are passionate about the children's development. All through lockdowns they have had my daughter and provided an excellent service even gone above and beyond to help 2 emergency service workers with childcare. Without this nursery and their flexibility we couldn't do our jobs, they are the unsung heroes and deserve a lot of credit. I fully recommend this Nursery if you are thinking of sending your child. My daughter has and is developing extremely well and not once refused to go or been scared, she loves it.
