Absolutely fantastic nursery. The facilities and the curriculum are brilliant and well thought through. It’s not cookie cutter stuff, it’s unique. The staff in particular are brilliant. Front of house always greet you with a warm welcome and a nice chat and the teams in the rooms are amazing. Very caring, very communicative and very brilliant at what they do.

Very good with the children enabling them to thrive. Lovely and friendly staff who always greet you with a smile. Fantastic vibe and environment created for everyone. The nursery supports us as parents by providing resources for us to learn and organising events for us to get involved and feel like part of the family.

Since starting in September our 1 year old daughter's confidence has grown enormously and now that she’s settled she really loves her days at N and the photos we get show her having a great time with the various activities. Staff are very friendly, helpful and communicative.

We've had our son in this nursery since they opened in June 2024. It's my first experience of a nursery but I've been extremely impressed with the welcome from reception, the responsiveness of management to any questions we've had and the supportive team in my son's room who always welcome us with a smile and provide updates on my son's progress.
