Honestly can’t put into words how much I appreciate this nursery. Having my second son in October with a 8 year age gap from his brother I was unsure on which nursery would be the best for me and my baby. It was recommended to me from another mum (who went back to them the second baby later) and from the first moment I picked up that phone and spoke to sandy I have been amazed she was so bubbly friendly and welcoming. All the staff is handpicked and you can honestly feel that. They’re all friendly and welcoming and honestly I wouldn’t want my son around anyone but them. Manisha and Mandy are equally as welcoming and they really make you feel welcomed. I could write a whole list of all the amazing staff that work their but I would hate to leave anyone out because their all great.
