We have explored other care settings with more outdoor space etc and the Care and attention that the staff provide toward our children just didn't compare to Juniors in the slightest. Emotionally, we've always felt our kids are happy and well looked after, developmentally, they have thrived and our son has had great preparation for school and made lovely friends. Thank you Juniors and their wonderful key workers!
