Due to a very bad encounter / experience with the nursery manager I find that she is above her station and a bully and she tell’s lies. You send your children to this nursery and she moans at the parent of the child that the child is not cleaned but the child was clean the nursery had left my grandson in a nappy for a long period of time and blamed it on my daughter WARNING TO PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS DO NOT SEND THE CHILDREN TO THIS NURSERY
