My daughter attends at certain times of the year. The staff are wonderful and full of energy, the kids really do love them which is an added bonus of no tears before drop off. The area is clean with lots of activities for the kids. The option of tea is brilliant, but apparently the only option was beans and a yogurt which is hardly a filling meal, but this was my daughter who has a very vivid imagination! I decided not to opt for the tea option, but other than that the care is fantastic.

Paid £100 retainer - then to be told this was non refundable after i'd paid it - They said i'd signed a parents agreement form stating this - which I hadn't. They failed to produce my signed documents and told me to go to my bank to dispute the payment.
