i’m always concerned by the amount of noise that comes outside this nursery. the teachers are constantly shouting in an aggressive manner to the children. the children always seem to be distressed aswell.
Read on GoogleMy daughter ( Sofia ) attended nursery for 2 years ,she had a difficult 1st year to adjust in nursery most of the time we have to pick her up just half an hour after drooping . Nursery staff worked really hard to adjust her to the environment and slowly she adjusted to her new routine . Secondly we are working parents and each time I need to change my daughter timings or days that she attend nursery, it was done just by one phone call very understanding staff . I have no problems in two years ,big thanks to the staff and management . The graduation party was amazing
Read on GoogleYou may think by looking at the nursery it might not be the best, but don’t limit your thoughts to the cover of the book. The nursery is equipped with quality staff that are caring, encouraging and understanding. They work with parents closely to identify the best support for your child. The staff are extremely approachable and you can speak to them about any worries you may have and be sure for them to put you at ease. If your child has speech and language delay, the nursery will go their extra mile to get the support for your child and will work closely with you to achieve that. They are just so friendly! The only thing I would say may benefit from in terms of improvements is the front part of the nursery where they could erect some gates or a wall to ensure safety of children and build a more of a robust front porch. Nonetheless, the teachers are very good at ensuring they drop off kids safely to the respective parent and shut the door at all times. I will definitely miss this nursery as will my son. Special shout out to Ms Shamini and Miss Alicia who have been instrumental in supporting my child’s needs and empowering him to reach his milestones! Asiya is an amazing head and leader and she clearly has done a great job in ensuring that the nursery is run effectively. I think they deserve more resources to help them expand and build on what they have already created which is a one big family! Best of luck and any child who attends here is extremely lucky! Best wishes Sam
Read on GoogleI love this nursery! My daughter has been here for 1 month and I can already see how much she has developed with her speech and social skills. The daily activities are great and my daughter loves all the meals and snack provided. Such a warm nurturing environment with a very homely feel.
Read on GoogleA real gem of a nursery, they work with parents to help your child develop and give you detailed verbal feedback everyday. They also do occasional Parents/Carer Breakfasts so you can meet others parents and keep you very well informed about changes in the nursery via the newsletter or letters. They have weekly yoga classes for kids. I visited many nurseries in the area before settling on this one for my child and am glad I did. The classes are small so your child will get a lot of attention and it feels very homely. My child looks forward to coming here and when I go to collect my child, they seem to be engrossed in a different activity each time and my child comes home happy. The staff are quite nurturing and maternal unlike some of the ‘professional business-like’ attitude of some staff I met at some other nurseries. For a small fee, they can give breakfast, snack and lunch to your child which really encourages them to try new foods and dining etiquette as well as independence skills. In comparison to others I visited, I personally feel this nusery should be Ofsted rated Outstanding as they have thought of everything to cater for the needs of children and their parents.
