The best nursery I could ever choose for my child. My son is happy to go there everyday. First day he came home and he called the teacher auntie (in my own language so sure they didn’t tell him to say that) which he never never never did before to someone - stranger. He improved there his speech so much. I love the trays they prepare there for the children everyday (you can easily check it on their instagram account). They provide you with their journal app as well where they are adding photos and notes about your child behaviour and skills. They always inform me what he was doing there that day when I am coming to pick him up. Even though they share the school calendar with me, they send messages reminding me about school holidays or days off so I am really grateful for. The staff is the best i could have dreamed of and the room itself is really clean and well organized. It was the best choice I could have made transferring him there from his previous nursery. The teachers take great care of the children. From September I will also enroll my one-year-old daughter there. Absolutely recommend everybody! Thank you for your work and help with raising my child ❤️

I am writing to express my appreciation for the wonderful experience my child has had at Educastle Nursery. Since starting, he has been very happy and has gained a lot of knowledge. The staff are very supportive and friendly, and they truly care about the children. The nursery is always clean and well-maintained. The staff's attention to detail and dedication to creating a positive environment is clear. They handle all chores and responsibilities with great care. In my opinion, Educastle Nursery is the best nursery. I only wish my daughter had attended a nursery like this when she was younger. Thank you for your excellent care and support.

I’ve had a wonderful experience with Educastle Nursery so far. The staff are incredibly friendly and professional, always going out of their way to make sure both parents and children feel welcome and comfortable. They are always ready to adjust to any specific needs or requests. My daughter is always excited to go, which speaks volumes about the care and attention they receive.
