I could not over sell how lovely this nursery and the staff are. Leaving your kid with people you feel genuinely care about them and somewhere they are happy to arrive to every day has made the transition back to work so much easier than I expected! My kid has been at this nursery for about three months and has already learnt to walk and started talking! He is always so excited to arrive in the mornings! In his three months here he has already been on a few walks, been to the library, had a few dance lessons, been visited by a petting zoo and I’m definitely forgetting some things! They’re always doing fun extra activities with the kids and even when they aren’t the sensory play they do on a daily basis (bare foot walks and trays etc) is just wonderful! Even the way they decorate the nursery is for the benefit of the kids - my kid sat and played with the Easter decorations by the door for about 15 minutes after they were put up. Recently they introduced a mini library where you can borrow some of their books and each book came with an idea of a game to play after reading it - it’s just a really great nursery. 10/10.

Such an amazing nursery, all the staff are so caring. Our child has just finished after 2+ years and has learnt so many skills ready for school! To name a few: building social skills, counting to 20+, how to hold a pencil & write his name, awareness of mental health. The staff do a great job updating the app with all their adventures and observations of development! Cannot thank all the staff enough & anyone looking for a nursery - choose this one.

We can’t recommend Children’s Choice highly enough! Our son has been going there since he was 8 months old (he is now 4). All of the staff are fantastic and are so nurturing and attentive with all of the children. Our son loves going to nursery and we can’t thank them enough for making his nursery experience so enjoyable and taking amazing care of him.

We could not recomend Children's Choice enough! The have looked after my son since he was 6 months old and the care and love they show him is what every parent would want! They keep me updated on what he's up to and anything I ask for for his care they support! They have recently been doing big brother lessons with him which has been incredible with our newborn who I know will also be in the best hands when he starts there! Thank you for everything you do!

Children's Choice is absolutely outstanding childcare provision. Jemma the owner puts her heart into everything to provide the most nurturing and caring environment, and to ensure each child has an amazing and engaging experience. The attention to detail and extra mile she team and the team at Children's Choice deliver for the children really is amazing.
