The staff at this Nursery are utterly fantastic. It is evident that the children love the staff and vice versa. Our son started off as a shy quiet boy upset to go but now he absolutely loves it and when asked who his best friends are he names the staff. They provide great updates on what the children are up to and all the activities look really engaging and fun. Would highly recommend.

We are so lucky to have a nursery just down the road from where we live and my son absolutely loves going there!! The staff are friendly and professional. It’s been over a year, since my Son joined the Hearts team and we haven’t for once thought about sending him to any other nursery; therefore I would highly recommend any parent/carers to consider this local nursery to us. Activity wise, they provide variety of tasks for children to learn and develop their skills. The teachers will help your child, as you would at home; for them to achieve their targets and for them to grow. We love the hearts team, can’t wait for my Daughter to start here now 🥰🫶🏼

Hearts Day Nursery - is the best nursery I could ever wish for my son. He joined the nursery last year not being able to speak english now after spending one year in the Hearts Day Nursey he can fluently comunicate in english. Very professional, caring, lovely teachers which put so much hard work and effort to make sure the children and feeling comfortable, loved and taken care of. Children have plenty different activities which will help them to grow, learn and develop thier skills and knowledge. I will recommend this nursery 100% to any parent who would like thier child to have amazing, enjoyable and fantastic time in the Hearts family being led by the most friendly and polite nursery manager Letitia and all the amazing nursery teachers. We very sad that we will have to leave you in a week time to start a big school but wish you all the best in the future. With lots of love from Wojtus Anna and Thomas :-)))))
