Our son has been at Cavendish Lodge for a year now, and we couldn’t be happier! The staff are all incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to each child’s well-being and development. The atmosphere is warm and nurturing, and it’s clear how much love and effort goes into everything they do. We’ve seen our son grow in confidence and happiness thanks to the amazing team. We are moving house in a few weeks time, and we are so sad that our son will have to leave Cavendish - I know we will struggle to find a nursery as great as this one!

Our son was in Dove house for 2 years and he loved every minute of it. The attention to detail all the staff put into each day is amazing. The staff are kind and welcoming. The outdoor space is incredible. The indoor spaces are well thought out and clean. The food is fantastic and all made on site. The support staff are brilliant and all the communication from start to finish with the nursery was excellent. We can't recommend Cavendish Lodge highly enough. A truly incredible place. Thank you Dove House crew for a brilliant 2 years.

In all my son's time there (he started at 11 months and is now 4.6 years), I've never had doubts about the quality of care provided- it is second to none. Every single person who we've dealt with has been so caring and nurturing to my son (and now my daughter). They hire the best of the best and very rarely do you have staff leaving beyond internal promotions, which tells you what a fantastic place it is to work. I have no doubt they prioritise the staff wellbeing as well as the children which makes for such a lovely environment where everyone seems happy. I'm glad I have my daughter going through the nursery now as it will be with a heavy heart that we eventually say goodbye. Cavendish have prepared my son for school to such an advanced level and have instilled a love of learning through play. He's obsessed with reading/writing/drawing/learning new things and know a lot of that has come from nursery. My kids always come out smiling and there have been so few tears at drop off, a testament to how great a job they're doing indoors. Thank you for giving my boy (and now our daughter) the best start in life.
