Her care workers were lovely and put her and us at ease. She’s now in a different room for older babies and the experience has also been good so far. The staff at the nursery are all friendly and approachable and provide helpful updates on drop offs and collection. There’s also an app which they update throughout the day with photos and details of what activities the babies are doing, what they’ve eaten and how much etc which really helps and is nice to know what they’re up to during the day. The manager also emails weekly updates which are helpful. Overall a really positive experience so far - would recommend.

The facilities are great, they have a lovely garden and there are plenty of toys for her to play with. They have a different theme each week with a variety of activities, even for the little ones. There is a great app which is updated with photos and things they have been doing. It is so lovely to see what they get up to and know they are happy.
