Lovely nursery and nursery workers, our son loved it, but ended up moving as the manager kept trying to overcharge us - sometimes heavily overcharge - for anything she could, and on leaving tried charging us over £300 when all our final bills were paid. We are well aware she does this to many others there. Such a shame as the other staff are brilliant and it's a lovely place. The manager who clearly just presumes parents are too busy to notice and check their invoices properly in the hope to squeeze more money out of people. Absolutely awful.

If I could give 10 stars I would! Absolutely lovely nursery! Sarah, Tracey, Lois and Anna are so wonderful who really take such good care of our son! We are so grateful for them. The food is all prepared in house, they focus on the babies individual needs! The baby room is such a warm, welcoming space. Communication is great from both Rosie the principal and all the staff in the baby room! Thank you again for everything! Highly recommend!

My baby twins were amazingly supported since the beginning. Unfortunately we have decided to relocate so they only attended for 4 months. But during this time, my babies were well looked after and had a great experience. The manager Kirsty was very kind and both key workers for my twins were just lovely and amazing! A big thank you for all the staff in the baby room!

This nursery go above and beyond at every opportunity. Their patience in the baby room and determination to have my son settled was so reassuring. He's now almost 3 and he gets so much out of his days at Burton nursery. Everyone from the key workers to the office staff are only too happy to help. There's a really wholesome feeling about this nursery and I'm so pleased I found them! Communication is fantastic. They've helped in so many ways! Thank you, you wonderful lot!
