Would not recommend this nursery to anyone never mind a child who needs extra care , nothing but incompetence and useless to my autistic 3 year old leaving him out of plays and activities even having the nerve to send photos of this with no explanation of why he was in the pram! Several meeting with Sarah with her smug face and lies they do not have staff or facilities to care for my son , we will be pulling him from this ‘nursery’
