Our Daughter is very happy at this nursery and would definitely recommend it. The staff are so caring for her and you can tell they have a great bond in the interactions of the staff and our daughter at drop off and pick up. There are constantly moments we see which show the staff care deeply for her. She continues to surprise us at home with things she has learnt from nursery, in particular the amount of new songs she loves singing and dancing to! We get a daily report saying what she has eaten, changes, and what she has played with. The nursery is also very flexible with what times they can accommodate for and picking up/dropping off is always so easy.

I am really glad I chose this nursery for my child. You can tell that the staff members really care about them and are enthusiastic. They do lots of activities with them and I you can tell they interact with the children. I love the Flexi contract option. You get a planner sent home each day that lists what they have been up to and how many times there nappy was checked and what food they ate. I much prefer this than an app which a lot of other nurseries tend to use now. My child has come on leaps and bounds and is partly down to them.

My daughter started here in June when she was 10 months and she absolutely loves it. Her little legs start kicking when she sees we are outside and she always leaves smiling. She is coming on leaps and bounds and each and every staff member is lovely. We receive a daily report of what she’s been up to and what she’s had to eat, naps etc and they really have worked it to follow her routine at home. I would definitely recommend this nursery

My child would always be sent home with soiled clothes in a bag and they were in nappies so just shows how long the staff go without changing them. Also my child would always be so hungry and thirsty when I collected them. Multiple times they would come out covered head to toe in food, smushed all over their shoes. I actually wondered whether they actually even ate anything or if they were even being watched. Too many children I would say for the staff to cope with. They would leave me and other parents ages waiting outside for them to bring my child out to me. Staff are ok at best. Didn’t feel comfortable in the end with my child going here so took them out. Don’t be taken in by the cheaper price than other nurseries.
