Both my son and daughter attend this nursery. My son has just entered his second yr. The nursery staff are wonderful with my children. Approachable, caring team. Outside they have a range of toys and indoors a range of activites for learning through play. Both my children are happy here and I would recommend the nursery to anyone that would like their child to have a nice, small and cosy nursery experience
