Absolutely wonderful nursery. Staff have been amazing with my son who is autistic. Their patience, kindness and understanding with him has been exemplary. They have helped him grow so much. He's leaving to start primary school in September and I'll be sad to say goodbye to all the wonderful staff. I cannot fault this nursery at all.

My son is now in his second year at this nursery and I couldn’t be happier with the progress he has made. Since starting, he has developed so much and it’s been lovely to see his confidence and abilities grow. The staff are so caring and supportive to each child’s individual needs. I have noticed a huge improvement in my son’s communication, independence, and social skills. He is always excited to go in, which says a lot about how comfortable and happy he feels there. I would highly recommend Hindsford nursery to any parents considering here.
