Lovely place lovely staff. It’s normal for a child to have an accident and keep it a secret! My boy always tried to wipe himself. Son came on leaps and bounds. Manager very human and approachable, all staff friendly & great at peeling away and distracting a clingy child. No complaints what so ever :)

My daughter loves this place and it’s such a shame to have to find somewhere else but there is no duty of care whatsoever, coming home with poo in her bum, really sore from not changing her and not giving her packed lunch, nothing but problems with this place. Oh and a bit misleading as the man who owns the company has given it 5* and written as review as a family member 😂😂😂
