It's the first nursery my child enjoys going to. The staff is always very helpful, they go far and beyond to meet our needs. I love the fact that they tell me everything about my child's day, any progress or difficulties.

Both my son used to attend and my daughter still attends this nursery. My son (now in school) started when he was 6 months old. He loved it. He stayed until the August before he started school last September. Every room hes been in, he's loved the teachers (especially stepping stones, I think he cried on his last day with them 🙈). My little girl has been going since last summer and again she loves it. She practically runs into the room on a morning (thats so reasurring). Nothing is ever an issue and the staff are so accommodating.
