Given the multiple food allergies our daughter has we were apprehensive about starting day care for her but BH-Canada Square have been absolutely wonderful in making sure our little girl is well looked after. She seems to be really happy and enjoying herself. They are very clean and organised. Also the nursery has the provision to park for 15 minutes for pick up and drop offs which we find very convenient.
