L has attended Fun Farm since 3 months old and is now 2.5. The staff are amazing; consistent, caring, and truly invested in the children. He has thrived there; his speech has come on brilliantly, he knows his colours and can count to 15! The home-cooked meals are fantastic and cater for allergies safely, which is so reassuring. Communication is always clear and consistent. The range of activities is brilliant; including football coaching, music lessons, and more. The outdoor space is secure and full of things to explore. They are always improving and adapting toys and activities to suit the children’s interests. The team go above and beyond every day, not just for the children but for families too. I wouldn’t choose anywhere else.
