Jones 3 years ago I cannot recommend this nursery enough. We moved nurseries because of the pandemic and it was the absolute best move for my two young children. Marcia and her team are so dedicated and attentive and the whole place has a very familial atmosphere because of them. They're enthusiastic, they're always kind and happy and they work extremely hard. The children thrived, loved going everyday and learned so so much. I'm so grateful we found this place. If you're looking for a nursery, this is it.

We moved nurseries temporarily due to the pandemic and never looked back. Horizons is a wonderful nursery with a relaxed home from home feel. There is a lovely outside play area and plenty of space inside. The manager Marcia and her wonderful team are very dedicated, professional and caring who provide excellent child care. Both our children thrived at Horizons and were ready for school. I highly recommend this hidden gem of a nursery. We highly recommend this hidden gem of a nursery.

"Marcia" behaves as though she is above everyone and can't control her moods; she is disrespectful towards parents and staff. I would go as far as to say I've personally witnessed her patronising children so I personally wouldn't feel safe leaving my child under the care of a nursery she runs.
