Me and my partner chose this nursery when our daughter was a tiny baby. We made the choice as it felt so homely, very family orientated and everyone was so welcoming. Our Daughter started at the nursery when she was 13 months old, she started in the baby room and is now in preschool. She has amazing relationships with all the staff across the nursery still now just like she has when she has from when she first started. We know this as when we leave and the staff may be leaving at the same time she will call them by their name when saying bye and they are not necessarily in her room now. The feedback at the end of the day is great, the staff always go above and beyond. Cannot recommend this nursery enough :)

My 2 year old son has been going to this nursery for a year now starting off in the baby room. All the staff have been absolutely amazing and my son has loved every second. He loves everyone there and in particular Becky, holly, molly and Natalie. I can’t fault them at all and I always get great feedback from them. The management team are exceptional and I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Both my boys (3 and 4) have really enjoyed their time at the nursery. The staff are friendly and caring, and it’s clear they take the time to get to know each child. My lads have grown in confidence, learned lots of new things, and always come home happy. We’re really pleased with the support and environment the nursery provides.

My Daughter has been attending this nursery for over a year and half now. She really enjoys going and has learnt alot. The staff are always very friendly and caring towards the children. She settled really well and has always remembered the staff from the previous rooms as she has moved up in stages. They were really supportive when she had to have an operation and always asking how she is now. I would always recommend sending your child here.

My son started here at 9 months old and settled so well into the baby room. Becky was so caring and tried to adapt everything to his usual routine and had a great understanding of his likes and dislikes. The key worker system worked brilliant. Michelle knows every child throughout the nursery and is always there for support.
