Our 12 month old baby has started a couple of weeks ago, and we just couldn’t be happier! The team are amazing, and in particular Cassie, who is always so friendly, helpful and has lots of love for the job she has taking care of the little ones. We particularly enjoy receiving the photo updates of the activities our baby does on a daily basis. This has given us a sense of relief and reassurance that she is okay, as we really struggled with the idea of leaving her there for hours. We could not recommend them enough!

Leapfrog Grange Park Team, We wanted to tell you all just how amazing you are! Our little one has absolutely loved her days at nursery, which is testament to all the attention and hard work your team put in to making the children’s days so much fun, whilst promoting learning and development. The children do such wonderful, enriching and educational activities, and you are all a team of clearly very motivated, friendly and caring staff. My 2 older children also attended Grange Park Leapfrog, and whilst we have always been incredibly happy with the care provided, with your fantastic team there, it really is excelling to new heights! Thank you so much for all your hard work, dedication and nurturing care. We are sure that future children and families will continue to benefit from the amazing start in life that Leapfrog Nursery Grange Park provides. Thank you all so much for everything!

What a wonderful 3 years my little one has had at your excellent nursery! I now have a child who is confident, settled, caring and inquisitive, with all the skills needed for a very successful start at school. You have had such a positive impact on our little one’s development and we genuinely cannot thank you enough. Our little one will have special memories for years to come. The staff here are friendly, approachable, caring and kind. They listen and respond to questions and concerns and are extremely supportive of both children and their adults, including with regards to SEND. A rich and varied curriculum helps the children to progress, and prepare them for school, whilst nurturing each child’s individual interests and talents.
