Mikolaj joined Harvard Park Day Nursery when he was 7months old and now he’s moving to a big school. Choosing Harvard Park was the greatest decision so far in relation to his education as it’s a truly wonderful and remarkable place with very experienced and professional staff and most importantly loving and caring. They’re all easy to talk too, very approachable and always have time to help and explain. He absolutely loved being there. He’s always so happy and cheerful when we picked him up and his confidence build up so much during his time at the nursery. From the baby studio, through small steps and freedom zone they offer lots of activities for children, they focus on learning times as well as fun times. Thank you, Harvard Park team, for wonderful 3 years. Iwona
