I was very nervous about sending my little one to nursery and after all our visits we fell in love with Children for most. The staff are incredible and I know my daughter is well looked after. They were really accommodating whilst settling our daughter in and she now loves nursery and has such a good time. I couldn’t recommend Children For Most enough. Excellent staff, very clean nursery and they take pride in making sure all the meals are nutritionally balanced which is always a bonus.

My little boy loved going to this nursery, not only did he have fun whilst he was there but it also enhanced his development giving him excellent communication and social skills which provided him with the best start before going to pre school. My other little boy is just about to start and I feel really confident that he will have the same brilliant experience! Leanne the manager is always so helpful and the staff and very caring and attentive. As a mum I always feel safe in the knowledge that they will take excellent care of my babies

Moved my daughter from another nursery upon recommendation. I was nervous as my daughter had been at her previous nursery for 2 years. The transition was so smooth that she didn’t even flinch, my interaction with staff on the phone and in person prior to her start and during was excellent, they answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. The smooth transition of my daughter is a testament to the staff as she felt comfortable straight away and is eager to go in each morning! The updates through the day are great. I am very happy with the move!

I can’t recommend children 4 most enough! Leanne,Donna,Vicky and the team are amazing and have cared for my daughter from her being 8months old. I was very nervous sending her so young to nursery but they made me feel so comfortable and confident in doing so. They have helped ween her and teach her new weekly WOW moments. Since starting she has come on leaps and bounds. I have moved house but continue to drive out of my way each morning to take my daughter to children 4 most nursery as it is such a lovely happy environment and my daughter loves it there! Candice
