Wonderful nursery, my daughter started at 12 months and the staff did a brilliant job of settling her in gently and with compassion. She absolutely loves it there and love to see how much she thrives in their care.

Our daughter has been attending George Perkins since January 2023 and we couldn’t be happier with her progress and happiness there. The staff are attentive and caring, and the nursery itself is well run and managed by Nasra, Zoe and their team. The nursery benefits from a large garden and there’s an emphasis on outdoor play and learning whenever the weather allows it - A real asset in a such an urban location.

The only nursery I would trust to bring my babies to. They’re so caring and attentive. My son doesn’t like being with anyone, but loves many of the staff members. It’s always clean and inviting. All the staff are so lovely and we get constant updates about how their days have been!
