The staff has been amazing in giving him time and never give up on him. After few months of gentle trying, he started loving it: now he is 1.5 yo and he eats very well in nursery, play with the other kids and does not even cry when I leave him in the morning and he runs to get to the entrance. I want to thank Kiddie Capers Hurstpierpoint to have been very patient with him. The environment is very relaxed, it’s clear the staff love their job. They do activities everyday and keep us parents posted on the app. Can’t recommend enough!
