Could recommend Lesley’s nursery enough. Our daughter who is now 19 months has been going since she was 10 months old. She loves going each day, all the staff are so accommodating and really go above and beyond to ensure our daughter gets the best care possible!!

Absolutely lovely nursery, wouldn’t take Hailey anywhere else. We were recommended by a work colleague who’s little boy went to Lesley’s and decided to visit to see about Hailey going. Straight away all the staff were lovely with Hailey and very welcoming. Everyday she goes in smiling and happy to see the girls that work there and we always feel confident knowing when we leave her there she is always fed well with an amazing menu that changes seasonally thanks to Andy the chef and gets up to a variety of different activities inside and outside that the staff set up. Couldn’t fault it! Absolutely love everything about Lesley’s and would recommend to anyone with children!x

We have sent both our children to Lesley's, as have other family members and friends, and have had nothing but a positive experience. Our children have flourished in their care. All the staff are very friendly and seem to genuinely love their jobs. I have always felt very reassured that my children were getting the best care and would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery.

Our daughter absolutely loves going to Lesley’s… the smile on her face when we drop her off and pick her up is priceless… so reassuring. Her development is really good and she’s clearly picking up new skills each week. Would highly recommend.

Excellent caring staff who really go above and beyond. One of our children in the setting has allergies and we are just working things out with it all, they are so patient and helpful. 🤩No bank holiday charges (I actually cannot believe other places charge for a day when no service is being received) Great outdoor space, playground, green space and bushcraft High quality meals (and even the option of frozen meals for the family to take home, lunches for parents to take away etc) And so much more
