I am very happy sending my daughter here. All the staff seem great , especially Kirsty who is my daughter’s key worker. Kirsty has been great at helping my daughter with fussy eating she really encourages her to try new foods and is just as happy as me when she does! Kirsty has also been working on my daughter’s confidence and assertiveness which I really appreciate. I feel safe leaving her at the nursery & have had no issues. Big thank you to Kirsty & all the other members of staff you’re all lovely .
