About this day nursery

Lovely nursery in a beautiful setting. Although the nursery is small it's full of character and has a massive garden and outdoor area with plenty of space for all of the children to enjoy. The building itself is unlike any other and has a lot of history. The staff are wonderful with the children and the meals are cooked fresh daily. I'd highly recommend!
