Choosing a nursery was such a daunting experience as first time parents but our little boy Robin started 3 months ago and is having the best time! He clearly loves his days there and has had some brilliant experiences! It’s so much less scary now when we drop him off as we know he -always has a brilliant day. The staff have always been fantastic and have really promoted Robin’s walking and talking which has come on leaps and bounds since he started!

We changed our daughters nursery after she started at another setting in Sleaford in 2024. We have had such a fantastic experience, the staff are wonderful, the activities are creative and tailored to her learning and she has come on so far since starting in the Toddler Room. I am so grateful for the whole team and the support they offer to her and us, including their reassurance on difficult drop-off days! They all work so hard and are very much valued by us all. I asked my daughter what her favourite things are about country kids and she told me "playing, the food, all the teachers - It's the best in the world". We would 100% recommend the setting if you're looking for childcare. Thank you to the whole team!

Lovely nursery, our 4 year old boy been going here since he was 8.5 months! So he had been in baby room, toddler room and now pre-school. All teachers are lovely, friendly but also professional. He loved all his main teachers, they always busy doing stuff, learning lot but also having lot of fun. He's going to school in September but will be back during school holidays, thank you so much for everything ♥️
