Both of my children go to this nursery (Bacup) and the staff are so friendly and caring. They have always got a variety of fun activities planned out to help them learn new things and prepare them for going to school. The management are amazing and are always on hand to answer any questions. Their professionalism is admirable. I love the themed days they have to make my children’s time there more interesting, for instance a teddy bears picnic and wearing yellow for children's mental health week. They really do put 100% into every aspect of the nursery. My kids are so happy here.

Charlotte has settled in so well and I can see how much she loves all the staff and her friends. Charlotte is a big character and has taken to nursery really well and that's all thanks to the wonderful staff (especially in the Toddler room) I can not thank you all enough. Knowing my daughter is happy and safe is a great feeling and makes working life so much easier without the stress and worry of wondering how Charlotte is.

Both my daughters attend Bacup. I could not ask for more loving, welcoming staff to care for the girls, they treat them as if they were their own. The girls are are both thriving in their education and I can see how much they love coming to this nursery and the bonds they have with the staff. After moving the girls from another nursery wondering if I was doing the right thing I only wish it had been here sooner! Another positive is that it’s open from 7:30am which makes the mornings so much easier not rushing to get to work in a morning :).
