Absolutely fantastic nursery. Having 4 children I have used most in Todmorden. Harley Street really stands out from the others. You are kept updated on child with regular photos and assessments which you can view at anytime. The staff in each room are all lovely and accomodate to the individual child's needs. The management go above and beyond in all aspects of child development and parent support where required. No faults whatsoever at this nursery I currently have 2 children attending and for the first time I'm not placing child in school nursery as I don't want his Harley Street experience to end until reception class is required!

And just like that..the end has come! Last day at the wonderful @harleystreetnurserytodmorden and time to say goodbye. I cannot say thank you enough to Lucy, Tom and all the staff that have looked after Etta for the past few years and helped her to grow into the confident, sassy, smart and kind girl she is. She has enjoyed every minute..always keen to go in the morning and smiling on pick up. I would 💯 recommend to any parents looking for a supportive, caring and nurturing setting for their child. 🥰 #harleystTODdler

Our son has been attending Harley Street Nursery for around a year now- it’s fantastic! We are regularly updated via an easy to use app and it’s clear that our son is engaged, challenged and thriving.
