He had trouble settling at other nurseries but from day one he has loved it here. He claps when I put him in his car seat and tell him where he’s going ☺️. It’s so lovely as a mum to know he’s happy and well cared for. All the staff are so kind and friendly. Mira is fantastic and clearly loves the babies. She is really passionate about nurturing them and helping with their development. The manager (Elaine) is also really lovely and accommodating. And my son loves his key worker Shaista who is equally as warm and kind, (thank you Shaista for making his transition into nursery a smooth one). The overall environment is bright and full of interesting displays and activities, with lots of outdoor areas. I’m so happy to have found this place.
