My son has attended this nursery from a 1year old and has recently just left for school, the confidence, independence and compassion he has gone to school with is from the staff across the nursery who have shaped him into the little boy he is today. The nursery has always offered a high quality of care from nutritional meals to compassion calls to check in if unwell. It’s a lovely setting and we already have our second child registered to start, highly recommend.

I have 2 children at Teddies and I have been really happy with the nursery. My oldest is going to school in September and he will really miss his key worker and the other members of staff in the pre-school room. He is always full of nursery when I pick him up, singing songs he's learnt or telling me what activity they have been up to that day - lots to do with bugs recently! My younger son has recently started in the baby room, the staff have been really nice helping us with the settling in period and he comes out happy, well fed and messy - the sign of a good day! The managers are always really professional, kind and helpful and willing to work with us.
