All the staff is very kind and always willing to help the kids to adapt at every new step. It's like a big family. Our daughter started with 8 months old and almost finished her journey in the nursery and we cannot be more happy. You can tell she is happy too when you go pick her up and she doesn't want to go home. I highly recommend the nursery.

I highly recommend this nursery! The staff here are polite, reassuring, respectful and caring. I chose this nursery because for the first day when I was in, the manager was very polite and friendly with us, and my daughter start immediately playing and I left her along with teachers and other kids, but I was very impressed because she even not noticed me when I left her. I was afraid she would start crying. I think she will always remember the staff and things she did.

I highly recommend this nursery. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the staff here are just wonderful. They’re polite, reassuring, respectful and supportive. My eldest who is now at school still talks about nursery and during half terms is always super excited to come with me to pick her sister up so that she can see everyone again. My youngest also has struggled with transitioning from being with me and going to nursery but thanks to the great bonds the staff have made with her, she is now always happy and excited to come to nursery. Things have also been slightly adapted to accommodate my youngest too; like buying different foods that she will eat and adapting the menu slightly for her, using a separation plate so that foods aren’t touching. Allowing her to bring comfort items with her and supporting the use of her ear defenders as and when she needs them. The manager James is also brilliant. When speaking to him regarding a bereavement, he took it upon himself to there and then order in books for kids related to grief, and allowed me to take them home to read to the children. This, I feel is an example of going above and beyond for the families who attend this setting.
