Great nursery! The team at Clifton Tots St. Pauls is amazing. The manager, Irene, will always go the extra mile to accommodate any requests. She has an international team and they introduce different languages very early on. The little ones learn numbers and singing in the early days at preschool. Our little one was very happy there.

It is a great nursery with an excellent atmosphere. Convenient, comfortable cozy, and child-friendly. The staff are very well trained because the children can learn a foreign language in their early years. I trust them and that is important nowadays.

We can’t recommend Clifton Tots (on Richmond Hill) more highly. When we moved out of the area, one of our biggest regrets was taking our son out of pre-school. The staff there are really professional and obviously care about the children. Our son was used to being at home and was initially upset when we dropped him off, but they invested a lot of time and effort in making him (and us) feel safe and happy. We will miss them.
