He’s been to a few and this by far was the best. They always did yoga with staff dressing up as a fairy which my son loved. He always came home with a smile on his face and a messy top. This shows he had so much fun. Staff were so kind and professional always! The staff cried the day my son left as he left his beautiful personality with them in their hearts. I wish he was still there but we moved cities so that’s why he left. Just go for it, enrol your child you won’t regret it. I found this nursery last minute and they did everything they could to help me and make space for my son. Just want to say a big shout out to Chelsea and Jess. Thank you both so much.

We viewed several nursery settings but were immediately struck by the ground and then soon after by the staff...but for us it was how engaged the children were that swung our decision to send her there. She always comes home full of tall tales of the adventures she has had there and we feel very lucky to have been able to find such an engaging setting for her. I know that foundations have been set for our very confident girl and we only hope that she continues to be as confident and supported in her new school. Today is a sad day for us as we say goodbye and thank you...but we know that the next children to be starting there will be very lucky indeed. It's the end of a very beautiful chapter for our family and it's a time we will always treasure. We cannot thank the staff there enough.
