We really appreciate the support and care they provided. Thank you to the whole team.

My child has attended it since he was 18 months old, and now he is graduating from nursery. I can't believe how time flies! From the beginning, I was reassured that he would be in good hands. The transition to nursery was smooth, as was his progression through the nursery classes. The nursery staff is very professional and lovely. He loves and is attached to all of them. I regularly receive updates, learning progress through an app and from staff members. The nursery offers a variety of activities—every week there is a theme, for example mindfulness, outdoor learning, colours. They also organize outside activities like visiting local parks, shops, and soft play areas, and they even have weekly football classes. He has learned many words and is very good with numbers, so I am very confident and calm about him starting school. The most important thing for me is that he is very happy to go to nursery in the morning because he loves all the staff members and his friends. I can’t recommend them enough!

Both our children go to FSTL and are happy going in with supportive friendly staff. We were attending during the first Ofsted report which was released to us as parents. The management used the report as constructive learning and made several improvements to better the nursery. They are always striving to make it better for everyone. We receive daily updates of the learning intent and photographs of our children enjoying their days. The staff take the children out to the local park, buy ice-creams and go on other trips on buses. I would strongly recommend this nursery for location, environment and support for children and parents. Each challenge we have had has been met with a partnership between us and the management/key worker so we can all keep consistency for teaching our little ones.

The staff are very welcoming. They offer a friendly and caring approach; and are attentive to my child's needs, who is making fantastic progress, thanks to the daily activities which help to develop his learning.
