I just wanted to be sure he was happy. Since starting he has got on so well at Blackberries and I’m extremely happy this is where I picked. Chloe (baby room leader) is absolutely fantastic, she constantly goes above and beyond and seeing her and my son together makes me feel happy and content leaving him. I know they will always be having fun. We are always welcomed each morning and on collection with a friendly face, any urgent communication I receive a phone call in the first instance and I feel my sons care is a priority to every staff member even when his room leader is unavailable Read on Google (https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2pWT2REWk5jVzl1VFc1NE1rTTBOVlo0WXkxSFYxRRAB!2m1!1s0x47d8060f97e2a91f:0x4a787790f0290f6d) Peter Fazekas 5 years ago Read on Google (https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURDd2JueW93RRAB!2m1!1s0x47d8060f97e2a91f:0x4a787790f0290f6d) Reviews from Google for Blackberry House Day Nursery (March).
