This ensures that children's needs are well planned for and that early help is identified, where necessary.

I've sent both my children to Humpty Dumpty. All the staff are welcoming, friendly, hard working, well trained and very helpful with any concerns you might have. Everyone is greeted with a smile at drop off & pick up. Every child is included in the day to day activities. They have worked tremendously hard during the pandemic making sure the children had a safe place to attend whilst keeping the parents updated on any new protocols needed to ensure safety was kept. Both my children have loved attending this nursery. Inside is very spacious with a wide variety of books/toys/activities to choose from. They have a lovely garden that the children can make use of. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Would highly recommend my Cousins Nursery! Jackie & all her colleagues are honestly so lovely & are so attentive with all the children. My Son Jack loved every moment & still to this day wants to go back! He's starting reception soon. They all put together this lovely book at the end which is so thoughtful & it's so lovely to see all of what they have achieved & got up too! Best decision we ever made sending Jack there! Keep doing what your doing ladies x

My daughter attends this nursery and we are all very happy with it. The staff are all so lovely and attentive to the children. My daughter enjoys her time there and has developed so much in so many areas. They are great at keeping a learning journey for the children and working on focused individual goals.

My daughter start at Humpty dumpty preschool just before the pandemic started, they were great at settling her in and she soon thoroughly enjoyed her time a couple of afternoons a week. The communication from the staff and management was exceptional, especially during lockdown when the children couldn't attend. They kept us upto date with songs the children knew and games they played at the preschool. My daughter flourished in the preschool, and started attending full time. The staff are so caring and thoughtful about each individual child, they know and care about each and everyone of them including their hobbies, families etc. They have a lovely open space to play and learn inside and a beautiful garden to use outside. I can't speak highly enough about absolutely everyone there. It was a sad day after 2 years when my daughter left the preschool.

I send my kid for only few months but my kids was not playing with other kids, and she was always sad whereas she is always very happy and playing with other kids. I would not recommend this place. My wife and I were very sad and surprise to see the pictures of our daughter and she was not playing with other kids and only sitting. We do not believe that they put the right attention to her. They dont have any arrangements for diversity.
