We’re so happy with Kings Burrow Nursery. Our daughter (now 2½) has been going since she was 1, and the care she receives is fantastic. The staff are kind, nurturing, and always attentive, especially when it comes to managing her dairy allergy and vegetarian diet — we’ve always felt completely reassured that she’s safe and well looked after. She absolutely loves going in each morning and runs through the door with such excitement. Even as a very active child, she’s kept busy and engaged with a wide range of activities, and she’s learning so much. The outdoor spaces are wonderful, especially the forest school sessions twice a week. We truly feel she is cared for, supported, and thriving here, and we have complete confidence in the team. Highly recommend!

Me and my partner were very apprehensive about putting our youngest into a nursery and the staff here really helped the transition process from the initial look around. A well maintained and stimulating environment with friendly happy staff right up to management level. Our daughter has settled in tremendously much better then we expected. Would highly recommend
