We've had our daughter here for 2.5 years now and I couldn't say enough good things. The staff, the building and garden, the Montesorri programmes and little extras like music sessions/stretch and grow/daytrips really add up to the perfect nursery. My daughter absolutely loves it and will be gutted when she leaves for school! We'll definitely be placing our second daughter here when the time comes if possible, top class nursery.

My sister used Homelands for her children and when our first came along my wife visited and was really impressed with it so we signed up. I cannot speak highly enough of this place; it has been a wonderful experience for our 1st, 2nd and 3rd child. Obviously all the child development stuff is a key metric and they have all progressed brilliantly during their time there, but for me it is secondary to the loving environment that is so very evident at Homelands. There are so many nice staff there, and even more that have passed through at times; they have a knack for selecting dedicated, caring and professional people. There is core leadership team that have been there throughout our children's time there that I have found very re-assuring, and I will be sad when our youngest leaves because I see them as sort of an extended family! With Homelands your children will be safe and loving hands. ***From Jan 2020 you can drop off at 730 as well (rather than 8)***
