The nursery itself is lovely and modern with great facilities, the staff have been amazing and my son has never not wanted to go. He formed bonds with the team really quickly which was lovely to see. Communication is great, lots of updates and the activities they do to keep the kids engaged are brilliant. Would recommend this nursery to everyone!

There is a huge variety of activities everyday with a big focus on outdoor time which my son particularly enjoys, including the weekly forest school sessions. All the staff are welcoming, kind and friendly and have been very supportive during the initial settling in period. Being a new nursery, the facilities are also excellent, everything is in immaculate condition. They encourage independence too, which has improved my son’s confidence no end. Overall, we’ve been very impressed with our first few weeks.

Each day is filled with fun and engaging activities that our little one really enjoys, and it's been amazing to see their development and growing confidence.

Despite delays in opening, the team worked tirelessly to get an amazing nursery in place. My two boys have been attending for about 3 months now and absolutely love it! They are so happy and settled there, all the staff give 110% and always ensure my boys are looked after so well. Lovely updates are always provided on the app too with great pictures so I can see all the fun they are getting up to. As well as the amazing activities they arrange in house, they often go out on field trips which they love. The forest school has recently started too which is a great concept! Couldn't be happier with this nursery, would thoroughly recommend!
