From getting shown around the nursery to my child attending it has been amazing. Staff are super welcoming & friendly. They genuinely show the children their love and upmost care. My daughter is only 17 months old but she can't wait to be welcomed at the door by Kylie! This is a massive relief as leaving your child at any age is awful but seeing the happiness when she gets to the door just shows everything. Julie makes sure the children's tummies are full with nutritious foods & I love how they make so many different options of food too! Staff update the family app daily with pictures, activities your child has taken part in, when your child naps & nappy changes too. Which is brilliant. They're amazing with the creativity the children do & are super thoughtful when it's special events, they really do go all out to give the best experience you could ever want for your child. I'm sad I never knew about this nursery sooner for my older children! Thank you ladybirds ❤️
