Our little boy has been going here since he was 8 months old and everyone at LDC has been consistently brilliant. The staff are kind an thoughtful and are constantly providing new and interesting activities for the children here. Otis has learned so much, and so have I. We'll miss them loads when he goes to school. Can't recommend highly enough :)
