I knew Flowerpots had a great reputation locally and after visiting two other nurseries prior to Flowerpots I can absolutely see why. The whole team are so loving and caring which was really important to us. The children do lots of activities during the day and have lots of fun. The outdoor space is big with lots of toys to play with. We love getting updates and pictures during the day. I would absolutely recommend Flowerpots to anyone. Shannon and her team are fantastic.

Flowerpots Prestwood is a fantastic nursery - we couldn't imagine sending our child anywhere else. The staff are incredibly nurturing and the activities that our child has been exposed too is fantastic. There is a great outside space where the children play everyday which is very important for us. The children are also fed healthy balanced meals - also very important! Our child started in baby room and is now in classroom - we have never had a problem in 2.5 years - they truly are amazing!

We have been using Flower Pots for the last 3 years with our eldest daughter and she has absolutely loved her time there. The staff are alway so friendly, helpful, kind and accommodating! We can’t wait until our youngest daughter starts in January as we know she will love it as much as her big sister! Thanks FlowerPots 🥰
