We love Nanny's House and have been sending our son there since he was 10 months old. He goes into nursery each day with a big smile, excited to see his key worker, who shows such genuine care and kindness. Activities seem thoughtful and engaging, from Christmas crafts and valentine’s day cards to pancake day activities. Communication with parents is excellent, and it’s clear that everyone knows and understands the children in their care. I honestly can’t fault this nursery and would recommend it to anyone looking for a warm, nurturing environment for their child. Thank you Nanny's House!

Absolutely brilliant nursery and holiday club. Our children loved every second of their time there. The staff are amazing and made the kids feel at home from the start - in fact, more tears were shed at pick-up (because they wanted to stay longer!) than at drop-off, which they were always excited about. As parents, we honestly have nothing but praise and gratitude for the whole team at Nanny’s.

Our two daughters have settled in so well and are really happy at Nanny’s House. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. We’re updated regularly on the Famly app of what they’ve been up to, and the girls are happy to go in and happy when we pick them up
