The baby room staff are very friendly. Our little boy has been attending for 1.5 days for over a year and will be stepping up to the over 2’s room soon. I believe coming here has helped him be confident around other kids and adults. Meal and food updates on the app while they’re there with pictures of them doing activities also put on the app. All in all a great nursery that I’d definitely recommend.
