I visited harmony house for BCG vaccination for child. We were greeted by the receptionist and shown way to vaccination centre. Also, there were proper marking and signage to guide the hall in the building. Staff was supportive and the place was quiet, calm. There was plenty of parking but all were occupied. It may be hard to get parking if you are the visitor.

Harmony House is an amazing nursery with a warm and caring environment. The staff are absolutely lovely and truly dedicated to the children’s well-being. I sent both of my kids there, and they absolutely love it! Every day, they come home excited to share their experiences and always talk fondly about the staff. They even miss them during half-term, which speaks volumes about how much they enjoy their time there. The nurturing atmosphere, engaging activities, and genuine care from the team makes Harmony House a fantastic choice for any parent looking for a safe and loving place for their little ones. Highly recommend!
