Our son has been here for about 2 years now and we’ve had a great experience. In every room he's developed relationships with the staff, and quickly gotten comfortable with drop offs. Love the app and feel it’s kept well up to date with pictures and status (feeding, nappies, sleep). At pickup time we can see the kids having a good time before parents arrive and interacting well with staff. They’re always open to talking if anyone has any concerns or anything. Also, special mention to the manager - Charlotte is so hardworking and dedicated to ensuring the nursery is run well and always improving, really pro-active.

My very shy 2 year old, has gone from being tearful to leave me to skipping through the gate in just a few weeks. The staff are so kind and caring and all the children seem so happy and comfortable there. Such a beautiful setting with great facilities and a wonderful ethos. Love being kept up to date with the app and seeing all the wonderful things my daughter gets up too.

It's the best place you can offer to your child. All staff is extremely friendly and helpful and will support your child development in every aspect. Nursery is very professional with plenty of safety and safeguarding processes (every child and every staff is visible and monitored 100% of the time, all activities, even if few minutes are recorded online and visible to parents) but they are also very accommodating and flexible to suit children's needs. Food is cooked on site and is of a great quality exposing children to new flavours in a safe manner (consideration for allergies or food safety). This unit is also very spaciousb inside, offering plenty of rooms where children have plenty of space for various activities, but also enormous outdoor areas and garden split into three sections including planting for various groups, with the majority filled with soft artificial grass. After moving from a private childminder to this nursery, we have noticed immediate change in child's behaviour. They became calmer, happier and most importantly more independent so the only arguments we now have with "terrible two's" is how independently they want to eat and play. I can't stress enough how many new words and games they learned in just a few weeks and how they learned to play with other children (sharing of toys, helping other kids etc) If you can afford it, you should consider it, as no childminder and no other nursery in this area offers this level of service and will impact your child's life in such a positive and long-term way

They have the worst VOIP system. I tried to call them on the given no and the computer is just disconnecting. This is disgusting.
