We have recently moved from London , and a friend has recommended me this nursery. When I went for the tour , I was very surprised at how clean the nursery is , and how kind and careful the teacher are . I cannot express how happy my son is attending this nursery. Sometimes he doesn’t want to come home! He learned so many things, eating by himself , being more friendly , sharing, helping clean the toys . When he was getting upset he used to bump him head on anything. I can now see that the bumping has significantly reduced . They have a lovely garden will lots of activities, my son’s favourite one is feeding the rabbits. They have different rooms where the kids learn new things, the one that impressed me the most was the sensor room. They also do parent and kids play and stay dates . This is the best nursery ,will recommend it to all my friends !!!

Both my children have thrived since they joined this Nursery nearly 18 months ago. It’s clear to see that every staff member I come across truly cares about the children, even if they work if different rooms they still know your child. Both my kids surprise me with new things that have learnt from being at Nursery. I would 100% recommend sending your child here as yes it’s worrying, scary and can be nervous to leave your kids with other people but this place helps melt all that away!

My daughter loves it here. She has attended since the age of 9 months and always has a smile on her face when we arrive. The team are excellent, really friendly and supportive and always make sure that the children have an array of things to do each day.
