My daughter will be leaving here at the end of August, and it genuinely saddens me for her to go. The staff are amazing, and I have in the 2 years she's been there, never had a bad word to say. Lovely facilities and activities for kids to have fun and learn. My daughter has came on leaps and bounds.

Ryhope busy bees have been patient and kind to my boy who really struggled to settle into nursery. By adapting his days initially and working together with us and our little one they have managed to settle Toby beautifully into nursery. We love seeing the updates online throughout the day which offers us reassurance especially in the early days of getting him to settle. Thank you to all the team for your hard work, patience & kindness.
