Staff were rude when i went in to visit and have a look around. Place was unclean, children looked neglected. Spoke to the Manager and she was also very unwelcoming. Think they are very picky in who they want there! As a south asian i felt abit discriminated and noticed there were not many south asian children there either. Do NOT recommend. They do not look at specific child needs as my child is on the spectrum they still not consider extra needs for him when i spoke to her. Glad i got to see all this before hand! STAY AWAY!
