Edgar absolutely loves it here. He only joined just before the summer, but he has loved every minute and settled in much quicker than I ever expected, which was so reassuring as a parent. All of the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they are always happy to help or answer any questions. I never feel like I’m bothering them, which makes such a difference. The communication between staff and parents is amazing — I love receiving photos and updates about what he’s been doing during the day. It really puts my mind at ease knowing how happy and well cared for he is. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.

That's my little one's second home, where he is as cared for as he could be, or should I say, better than at home. I am a full time working mum, who gets quite emotional at times about not spending enough time with my child, like the FTMs. But when I see the change in my little one, in terms of discipline, independence, learning, empathy etc., I know sending him to this nursery was one of the best decisions in my life. The management and carers are approachable, open to discussions, and happy to tailor - make my child's development plan. The place is fun, huge, clean, and well maintained. The cost of child care is considerably low as compared to other nurseries, as we send lunch, nappies and wipes. Well, summing up, Jane, George and their entire team give out that positive vibe that your child is in safe hands.

My children love everything about the Nursery of Narnia. Jane and George have picked the most caring and enthusiastic staff whose sole focus is getting the best out of your child. Every child is treated like an individual and the team go out of their way to accommodate their needs. The nursery has a fantastic amount of outdoor space, as well as two outdoor classrooms. This was the biggest appeal for us as our children love being outdoors. There’s so much for the children to do and explore. It’s such a shame children have to grow up because my children will be very sad to say goodbye when it’s time to move onto school. Thanks for being amazing!
