I always felt confident in their care. Unfortunately, my experience was tainted by the one of the managers. The manager was unprofessional, dismissive when I raised concerns, and often made inappropriate personal comments — including remarks about my pregnancy weight and even telling my child’s father to talk to me about losing weight after birth. She tried to bully me into making a decision I explicitly said on multiple occasions that I was not interested in doing. And I felt like I was treated differently once we had reduced our child’s hours when they were previously enrolled full time. It’s a real shame, because the nursery itself has so much potential, but one person’s behaviour has completely ruined my experience.

They have been like extended family throughout my child’s just over 2 years there. I know that my child is getting excellent care, excellent education and having a brilliant time at nursery. Often he doesn’t want to leave! He loves to share in the things he does at nursery with us and also share with nursery the things we do at home. He has made great relationships with other children and the staff there. My child did really well in his 2 year health visitor check which I know is a combination of his home and nursery education. The approach the staff take to teaching my child puts him, his interests and his feelings at the centre of their approach. For example, potty training has been done in the setting at his speed, taking into account how the process will make him feel. I felt incredibly supported and advised through this process too. Without the strong relationship that we have as parents with the staff at Lullaby's I know that our child wouldn’t be doing as well as he is and we wouldn’t feel as happy and comfortable leaving him there all day every day of the weeks. I know that we and other parents are reluctant to leave the area as a result of the brilliant experience we have as parents of children at Lullaby's.
