My daughter has attended for over a year now and absolutely loves it. Her development is helped so much by being there and she regularly surprises me with how capable she is in doing things thanks to the nursery activities. They do lots of fun activities but also very practical ones like cooking, prepping vegetables, personal hygiene, using scissors etc. Knowing how happy and content she is really helps with my mum guilt. It may not be the flashiest nursery in the area but for caring for the kids and delivering a good experience, you can't get better.

Very irresponsible, it was a nightmare , we went 7 to 8 times to emergency for my son . So careless my son was only 1 years and everytime I got him home with wet cloths, gloves in winter and sometime they don't bother to clean his poty . He got infection and cold caught because of their negligence.

Very difficult to actually arrange a viewing. Poor and rude telephone demeanour and still only offering online viewings (a red flag for a nursery in my opinion). Didn't provide call details for one arranged teams call and didn't turn up for another scheduled call.
