**Excellent Nursery, couldn’t be happier** I am very pleased with my child’s experience at this nursery. I really appreciated the regular updates I received through the Tapestry site- The photos and observations shared have just been lovely - thank you so much! They offer arts and crafts, messy play, educational, and outdoor play, this kept my little one wanting to go into nursery every morning. It was lovely to see my little one form friendships which I attribute to the nurturing environment provided by the lovely staff. The staff also organise parents' meetings focusing on key EYFS milestones which was very reassuring as this was tracked and developed upon. Overall, I am very happy with my choice of nursery and would recommend this nursery to other parents seeking a nurturing place for their little ones.

I found this nursery by mistake, and it was the best decision to go in and have a look, i was going without appointment, but they receive me inside very friendly, and the atmosphere was so cozy and full with love for kids, this was the first nursery that I felt like they really want my baby be part of them family, and i did visit around 5 nursery but this one felt the right one. Now we are 3 months into the nursery and everything is perfect, very clean, nice garden full with colours, the nursery staff is very friendly, happy and they really comfort the children when they need , I really do recommend them!

I couldn’t be happier with our experience at this nursery! Warm and caring staff: from the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and assured. All are incredibly friendly and genuinely care about the well being and development of each child. My child’s teachers are always approachable and take the time to provide updates on my child’s progress. And this is very important for me. My child is very happy every time going there. I highly recommend Flying Start Day nursery to any parent looking for a loving, safe, and enriching place for their little one.

My son really loves going to this nursery, no wonder he adapted quickly. The teachers are very helpful, responsive and nice. This nursery also helped my son with toilet training very well. There is enough outdoor space and a spacious indoor area. It is also near the bus stop, making it very convenient.
