For me the most important factor in nursery choice is the staff who will be looking after your children. Having had 4 years of great experiences prior to L starting at nursery, this time around having new faces has been just as good. When it’s already tough to leave your baby, it makes it so much easier knowing they are happy with those you’re leaving them with.

Outstanding nursery! Plenty of room to play and run around, fantastic staff, lots of varied activities, nutritious food and snacks! I loved the app system and frequent pictures going both ways, which I could share with grandparents. The nursery is reasonably priced, flexible and accommodating. S does not want to leave nursery and I really do understand why...."

Very friendly staff that all clearly know L, and recognise me instantly. Great, regular updates on activities via the Famly app, and great outdoor spaces to encourage independence and freedom to explore. Particularly looking forward to L being a Beekeeper next year and see how he grows with the extra responsibilities and getting ready for school.
