All staff know each child well, and their love and commitment to them all is remarkable. My grandsons love their time there, and I am always reassured that learning with play is happily occupying them. Terrific place in a lovely environment, with the park and a farm on the doorstep, and a tree-house in the garden. All the staff from those on reception to those doing the great catering, to the carers, are exceptional. They are led brilliantly by Jermaine, and have provided excellent role models for all the children.

There’s a sense of fun and a love of children that’s almost tangible.
