My son has been at this nursery for 9 months now and I'm so glad we put him in here, especially after being quite isolated during the pandemic. The staff have always gone above and beyond to make me feel at ease, keeping us informed of what he's doing in the baby room and any sharing photo's on the app. They really seem to care about all the children in the nursery and my son will happily walk in or give them a hug at drop off. I cannot recommend this nursery enough!

This is by FAR the most loveliest cleanest nursary I have ever come across. before I had even looked in the rooms at this nursary I had already decided this was the place for my most precious possession in the world. ( my little dot thea) an this was just on talking to the staff. when I spoke to them they talked so highly about their nursary ( it sounded to good to be true ) upon visiting the nursary I was blown away. it ticked every box an then a few more. they most certainly deserve to be rated outstanding. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
