First off, this is not a review based on the actual staff who are in the toddler room. It is purely a review on the owners/management/invoice staff. I absolutely would not recommend this nursery based on the fact they tell you the daily fee, but then when you recieve your invoice it actually always works out more. Not sure what extra I'm paying for but I don't know anything about it. And also the joining fee of £100, absolutely disgusting!! Joining fee for what exactly when you charge fees up front for the month!! Unfortunately I am trying to find another nursery now for my son seen as my invoices have all being incorrect since June.
