This Nursery goes above and beyond. My daughter went to Little Herons last year and now attends North Curry School. She never had be to Nursery before so I was very anxious but the Manger and Staff were so helpful, kind and respectful. I enjoyed getting updates on her progress and journey in learning throughout the year. Seeing her take part in events like Sports Day and the Nativity Play will be memories I will always cherish. The staff are extremely supportive and go out of their way to help each child individually but also helping the children come together as a class building life long friendships. I highly recommend Little Herons to anyone looking for a Nursery. ☺️

I'm so happy that we chose Little Herons at North Curry for my little boys nursery. My little boy started recently and has settled in really well. The staff are really reassuring and supportive to both parents and children. My little boy has come on so much in the short amount of time he has been attending. I would highly recommend to anyone considering them as an option.

Friendly staff, great at keeping us updated. Our 2 year old loves going in every day- the indoor space is fab and the large outdoor space is wonderful.
