Spoke to this nursery about moving my son to this nursery. He was changing over to another school as he wasn’t settling in very well. (His previous school wanted to get senco help and they kept pressuring me, I told her that I decided not to go ahead with the senco help for now and wanted to see how my child settled in and wanted to give him some more time to settle before labelling him) Instead of understanding from my side, the manager started changing her tone and said things like “that school is professional, they know better than you” and when I tried to explain that I don’t see the same signs at home and I haven’t seen any bad behaviour in other settings like soft play etc, she asked questions like “I’m sorry are you an early years practitioner??” In a really derogatory way. Like I was stupid and I think I know best. I DO KNOW MY CHILD BEST. If I could see something I would get the help. Thank GOD I didn’t give my child to that nursery because she is very very ignorant. The staff here would not open heartedly take care of my child and work with me to help my child settle in a different setting. She does not even know what the previous school have done, and how they were unfair with the situation. Other nurseries that I spoke to were kind and understanding about the situation and some even had no places available but they gave me good advice and spoke to me so kindly. This manager, her attitude was disrespectful and downright nasty. Made me feel like I was being ignorant and the old school was right without even understanding the situation. Don’t give your kids to this school. It’s run by a bunch of immature unprofessional people. They will not treat your kids good if they cannot hold a simple phone call without showing attitude. DISGUSTING. She cant even hold a conversation without being miserable. You won’t gonna get far with that attitude.

I had a very negative experience with this nursery. The cleanliness and overall state of the place were extremely poor, and I rarely received any updates about my child’s day. The manager was especially rude and dismissive it’s hard to understand how someone with that attitude is running a childcare setting. I also noticed how badly she treated her staff, with little kindness or respect, which was very upsetting to see. Unfortunately, she doesn’t seem open to listening to parents or working with us to support our children. I truly hope things change, both for the children and the staff
