A lovely friendly nursery. My daughter settled very quickly at 6 months old and I trust the staff completely. They were very good with settling in sessions, helping me get over the initial dread of leaving her for the first time. They introduce her to new healthy foods. The menu is great. She comes home with a little report each day to let me know what she has been up to. It sounds like she has lots of fun. I feel like I definitely made the right choice and I visited a few day nurseries before I decided on kids unlimited.

Our little boy absolutely loves his nursery and we do too. The staff are consistent, supportive, loving, friendly and honest. They have loads of outside access and meals cooked on site. We really couldn't ask for more.
