Amazing with my daughters, they always go above and beyond making changes to suit children’s needs (eg yoghurt paint for children that eat everything), the staff are so personal and supportive. I have an amazing relationship with all the staff and so do my children. I get daily pictures of my child and a message everyday about what she’s done. Couldn’t recommend this setting enough!

His speech and understanding is so advanced and we have the Precious Jems staff to thank for that. You can tell every morning how comfortable he feels, running in to give the staff a hug and barely looking back. Which is a wonderful feeling as parents that he loves being there and has a jam packed day full of fun and learning ahead. This nursery is so personal and approachable- even the staff members not in our sons room know his name and say hello, it is a very united and professional nursery.
