We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Boarshaw From the very first day, the staff made us feel so welcome and reassured. The environment is not only safe and secure, but also full of warmth and positivity. My children settled in quickly, which says so much about how caring and nurturing the team is.

There are dirty toilets, I'm not sure if the toys are clean, teachers don't have time to answer parents' questions, there are no notifications about holidays or events.
