What it's like
Children receive effective support from staff to settle swiftly at the nursery, with the process individualised to each child's needs, fostering strong bonds. Children are beginning to understand their behaviours and the impact they have on others, with staff helping them to manage their behaviour and learn to share and compromise. They also have many opportunities for pretend play, which staff use to explore colours, counting, and address gender stereotyping and equality.

Our kids, Rupert and Felix, had an incredible experience at Leaps Nursery! It’s a place where our kids are genuinely excited to go every morning. Even-though Rupert is now in reception at Harchlands, he still goes into Leaps every morning to say hello! The staff at Leaps are amazing, they really go above and beyond. Not just in day-to-day care, but in organising amazing events for Halloween, Christmas, Chinese new year, End of year graduation etc.. It's heartwarming to see the effort they put into making each day special. Huge thanks to Natalie and the whole team for their dedication and for creating such a loving and fun environment.

Our son who is 4 at the end of October has just started his second year at Leaps. He was so shy and cautious when he joined a year ago, now he's really coming out of himself and a large part of that is down to the amazing team at Leaps His sister, age 2 1/4 goes with him now, both five days a week. They absolutely love it and go happy every day. We can't fault it
