This nursery just makes me happy. My daughter started when she was 3 after being in lockdown where she started experiencing social anxiety and her confidence had suffered. I thank this nursery and the amazing staff for my now confident, content, happy 5 year old daughter. My son started after he turned 3 and his confidence is growing more and more each day. He has a lovely little group of friends which the staff have encouraged. I can’t thank or praise the staff enough especially Nicola, Chloe, Tracey, Ethan and Natalie, but all of the staff are lovely. The cook is AMAZING. She goes above and beyond for children with allergies or special dietary requirements. The rooms are all beautifully decorated with the children’s artwork and photos and the huge garden is the place the children love the most. When you drop your child in the morning, all of the days activities are ready and prepared for them. Thank you Langley Gorse nursery for making it easier when leaving my children for the first time.

I enrolled my son into Langley Gorse when he was 10 months old (late in 2015) and only moved him when we moved area at 18 months. The staff were outstanding. They treated my precious son exactly the way I would want him to be treated when he is not with me. They are kind, loving and engaged. In addition, I loved the location, it was close to Walmley village but set far away from traffic so the air was very clean. I've since recommended the place to my friends.
