This is an amazing nursery. My son who is nearly 2 has been attending since he was about 4 months old and he always goes off to nursery happy. I am very pleased with his development so far. The staff are all fantastic and they give a detailed summary of our children’s days when we pick them up. You can tell they genuinely care about the children, they are experienced and are passionate about childcare. The nursery is well organised and serves healthy home cooked food which my son always seems to eat without any issues. They provide a great range of activities, encourage lots of time outdoors and the nursery is full of the children’s art work on work on display. They send out a monthly newsletter and have a nursery council allowing the children to voice their opinions on changes they would like to see. I found out at the latest parents evening that they do mindfulness exercises with the children which I was absolutely delighted about. The manager/owner also told me their aim is to be like an extension of the children’s family which, from my experience at least, I would say they are definitely achieving. My son loves all the staff and his friends at nursery and it’s a blessing knowing he is so happy and well cared for when his Dad and I are at work.

Fantastic nursery, so glad we picked it for our daughter who has been attending for nearly 4 years now and our other daughter is due to start in August. The staff are approachable and friendly. It's well managed & organised. The children take part in a variety of activities and the variety of food is excellent as well as being healthy. We've never had an issue of her not wanting to attend! 100% recommend.
