Wonderful nursery. Friendly and attentive staff, very good communication and a wide range of activities to keep little ones entertained, rooted in EYFS. Our daughter is very happy and well looked after by the team!

I've just seen the article describing how you've switched to a vegan menu. Please keep that in place, these parents are angry, fair enough, but the decision is still right for the future and the evidence does support it and I'm sure if there was a good information being released more people would give it a go. Let's assume this is our only planet and we must look after it.
