A Wonderful Nursery Experience Our daughter currently attends Halo Nursery, she absolutely loves it. She’s formed close bonds with the amazing staff and other children, and the nursery has played a big role in her development. Her time there is coming to an end as she moves on to reception later this year, and we know she’ll carry the memories with her. We’re so grateful for the care, love, and support she’s received — highly recommended to any parent.
Read on GoogleThis nursery is well suited for my child’s needs. The Nursery Manager was amazing on the visit. The manager took her time to show my child around the nursery. The nursery looks beautiful, it’s well fitted out and stands out afar from the other nurseries in the area that we have visited.
Read on GoogleMy son attended Halo for 6-7 months and sadly left recently because we moved out of the area. We were so impressed with the nursery and especially the staff. My son loved his time at Halo and we were gutted to end his childcare there. I would highly recommend Halo Nursery.
