" The dedicated staff build close bonds with children, prioritising their emotional well-being and supporting their communication and language development, even incorporating children's home languages to ensure everyone feels valued.

Their is a staff member at this nursery who’s kid goes their n she lets her kid hit n push other children and when the parents ask her to not let her kid hit n push other children she goes in the back room n starts being hysterical and starts crying saying she feels threatened this has happened on multiple times but the staff members don’t do nothing about it n just let her do this n she does this so the parent who asked her to ask her kid to stop hitting people gets kicked out of the nursery this has happened multiple times and I will not be sending my child back here as it is not fair on my child to go to nursery n be hit n pushed for no reason to the point she started crying and if I were to say something to the staff they kick me and my child out of the nursery because this staff members felt threatened because I asks her to tell her kid to stop hitting my child . This staff member has also had multiple parents complain about her because of this as this has happened multiple times to different other parents and kids.
