My daughter attends spring cottage nursery and she is always very happy. It is so reassuring to go to work knowing that your child is safe and settled and I have nothing to worry about. The staff are friendly and know my daughter well. The experiences she has there are helping her development and confidence. Her favourite thing has been watching the ducks hatch and then visiting them at the duck pond!

I would not send my dog to this nursery, the staff are unprofessional, rude & arrogant! One of which I came across off her face out in town one evening! If u have a job expect disruption, as they cannot care for your child if they have a sniffle. My daughter was sent home at least twice a week every week for the short time she attended. The manager is also of the same breed & the only decent employee is the office lady! Avoid avoid avoid!!

Filthy filthy nursery! The "sensory play" looks like vomit! The amount of food and mess on the floors is disgusting. Staff very rude can't be bothered attitude. Avoid at all costs! Don't see how it's still running!

My two daughters attended here until recently, I found the staff really friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. I was always happy to leave them knowing that they were in safe and secure hands. Would definitely recommend !
