Huggies Day Nursery does its absolute best to make sure your child is safe, happy and grow into a well behaved and educated little person by the time they leave for school. At this present time my hearing impaired child is being looked after by the staff and I can honestly say he gets the utmost care for his needs and has done from the staff since attending the nursery from 9 months old as he is now a rather confident 2 yr old haha . I would highly recommend this nursery everytime a new mum asks me where they should send their child . Awesome management, staff and catering! Keep up the amazing work you all do!
