We couldn’t be happier with this nursery. Our son started in the baby room and is now in the over-twos room, and he has loved every single part of his journey there. The staff are absolutely amazing — so caring, supportive, and genuinely invested in the children — and we’ve seen incredible growth in his confidence, learning, and development. He runs in happily every day, which says everything about how safe, loved, and stimulated he feels! We love nursery on the hill!

I should have posted this review over 2 years ago when my daughter went to this nursery. All I can say is it's amazing! She loved every second and the children there are being well taken care of. Lovely staff, great facilities and good location. Worth every penny as it helped her tremendously for the start or reception. Thank you!

My son spent a day at this nursery and returned home with a pen in his eye. He is now 16 and blind.
