This Nursery standard of care is very poor. Very under staffed. Its not a safe place for your children parents!!! Parents are lied to about what causes their children injuries. Management is disgraceful. Is not a place you want your children to be. Their resources are very poor. Parents don't place your child in this establishment. Current parents please start to ask questions about staffing and their resources.
Read on GoogleWe could not be happier with the nursery or the staff here - they just seem to adore our baby, all the key workers know his name (not just the ones in his room) and he beams when we take him in. Amazing outside space and love that they’re always doing crafts, cooking and outside things!
