I will always have such a warm and happy memories from the girls being at Peter Pan’s nursery.. they always came home with smiles on their face, telling me of a lovely day, the nursery where particularly kind and supportive for my youngest, who found it hard to separate in the morning… we worked together to find a plan to help my daughter settle in (my oldest ran in and never looked back 🤣) I would recommend this nursery to other parents as we felt safe with the nursery and the children were really happy. Its been a great transition into primary school for us as well

All 4 of my children have been to Peter Pan Nursery, currently my youngest, twins, attend. The care and attention all staff provide, not only in their specific rooms, but across the whole nursery is second to none. My concerns about the twins development are heard, and I am given thorough progress updates regularly. I've loved, and continue to love watching my children look forward to going and thriving in their setting.

Both my children have attended Peter Pan Nursery and have been really happy there. I was nervous about how well they would settle but everyone who works there put my mind at ease and made the transition for my boys really smooth. They do loads of activities and the meals are well balanced.

My son has adapted so quickly to nursery which is all down to the fantastic work that the staff and management do to make everyone feel safe and welcome. There are lots of varied activities to do in the spacious indoor and outdoors areas and my boy always comes away happy and smiling!
