The staff at building blocks nursery have absolutely been fabulous and we cannot thank them enough for what they have done to our son!!! We had to pull our 2 year old out of his previous nursery and building blocks have been amazing regaining his confidence and getting his eating back on track. At his old nursery he completely became a different child not eating and stopped using the toilet and after just 4 weeks at building blocks he’s completely back to his happy self. The hand overs from the staff are always thorough and everyone always knows what’s been happening with my child. They’ve been caring, supportive and you can truly see how dedicated they all are even from the way he runs to them and gives them a cuddle in a morning! Thankyou so much to building blocks for bringing our happy little boy back to himself, I cannot thank you all enough for that ❤️
