What an amazing day nursery. Out of all the ones I visited, Copperfields made me feel the most welcomed and reassured that my child will be cared for, looked after and educated. There was so many activities going on and all the children were laughing and full of energy in participating with the activities the staff had created.

My daughter goes to an after school club at the nursery and it was the best decision we ever made. The staff are all amazing and they do so much with and for the children. The evening meals are excellent as well.

I am so pleased I found Copperfields. My little boy wasn’t getting on so well at his previous placement but has come on leaps and bounds since starting at Copperfields. His key worker Jenny is wonderful and so responsive. They are very caring and responsive to his needs. Their facilities are fantastic, big spacious garden and a chef to prepare all their meals. Could not recommend enough

Went to visit the nursery and were told they had a place for us in April. Sent in the paper work and a week before the new term starts we are told the place is no longer available. When I called to ask why the Director was very rude. A very disappointed daughter who was very excited to start her first nursery. We have now lost our funding until September. Disgraceful. Will avoid.
