Really great nursery. My daughter attended for over a year. All the staff are really nice, friendly and know what they are doing. I couldn't have found a better nursery, and highly recommend it. Thank you so much for the excellent care you all provide. *One minor note - there was a short time that one of the staff taught the children a little bit of Spanish - this was great as my daughter really enjoyed it, and has remembered it. We work on it a little bit at home too. It would have been amazing if this had continued, but understandable (and a shame) that it stopped due to staff moving rooms.

The best nursery in Clifton without a doubt. The staff are so passionate about their work and truly caring. We have since moved from Bristol and really miss this nursery.

The dramatic change in management and huge staff loss suggests there is a lot going on behind the scenes - especially as it has happened so very quickly. Staff appear unhappy and care for the children has taken a massive dip through this short space of time. So sad to see what was a good nursery turn in to a poor establishment where I would no longer feel comfortable leaving my child.

A great all round nursery/pre school - our son thrived here (8mths to 4yrs). It has warm friendly & supportive staff, along with fantastic facilities. I couldn't recommend it more highly.
