We initially chose Millwood House nursery due to its family feel, lovely garden and friendly staff. We then found that there was so much more that the nursery offered- from gentle care and attention to wide range of activities and themed days. The nursery has regular visits from members of the community such as firefighters, police, local charities. All major occasions are marked with fun and educational activities such as Diwali, Halloween, Remembrance Day etc. We couldn’t be happier with Millwood House nursery and its great team. Thank you!

Never let us into the nursery to collect the children - Even when pouring or freezing outside. Felt like there was something to hide; so we removed our little one very swiftly.
