Every time I walk into this nursery I feel so lucky to have found such a great environment for my child. The staff are so nurturing and caring. They go above and beyond and my child is so excited to spend their day with them. As an added bonus he enjoys taking part in mini Kixx, science lessons and yoga. We are welcomed on a morning by the lovely Nick in the carpark and the management team in the office. I can even grab a coffee to go and a piece of fruit on my way out. Thank you for making nursery an easy transition.

The staff are fantastic with the children, they are so warm and welcoming each morning and she absolutely loves going into nursery, even after the Christmas break. The facilities are great and she really enjoys the large outdoor space. There's also such a wide variety of activities available to the children. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone.

The staff are wonderful; so many long-term members who are exactly the kind of people you'd want to stay, and any new staff quickly feel like part of the family. The child-centred care is top-notch. Our daughter left confident and ready for school, and our son is thriving in Busy Bumblebees after starting in Wiggly Worms. The Forest School is brilliant, and both kids love the extra activities like Science Tots, Mini Kicks, Baby Band, and French. The food is fantastic, the facilities are excellent, and we've always felt our children were safe, happy, and valued. Nick in the car park and Karen on the front desk make every day that bit easier. Exactly what I need as a busy, often stressed, parent! A truly nurturing, inspiring place - thank you, LGR!
