This nursery is the nursery of all nurseries. We have been attending for just over 2 years. The establishment is clean inside and out. The nursery director has a low staff turn over and loyal staff members indicating to me people are happy at work, this is very important to me. They are professional yet personable, easy to talk to and open minded. The security of our children is amazing with no access into the premises from outsiders and no way for the children to “accidentally” leave. The environment is stimulating for the children with colours and activities in every room. Parents are kept up to date regularly with a notice board outside the nursery , letters and social media posts. The nursery moves with the times with learning styles, techniques and development of our children. They help develop our children by guiding them with independence,structure and good interpersonal skills needed for the next step. They are all inclusive and diverse. The nursery celebrates all religious holidays and cultures this is so important to me as a parent. My child has developed so much in a small space of time. She is ALWAYS happy to go to nursery and see her teachers and friends, this is a true reflection of the nursery as the happiness of the child is all that matters. I never thought I would put my child in a nursery because of all the horrific stories you hear but this has been an amazing experience for me and my child, I have felt a complete peace of mind when dropping her off. The safety and happiness of my child is always number one for me and little buddies have never let me down in this regards. I have always been an advocate of child minders and I still am but if you are looking for a nursery this is the one. Thank you so much guys
