My two daughters went here and I couldn’t be happier with how the nursery looked after them. Both of them loved going to nursery, learned so many amazing skills and values. The staff goes above and beyond for the kids and parents. I would recommend them to everyone!

My son went to Precious Moments last year from the age of 2-4 and they were absolutely amazing… Nancy was his key worker in the nursery room and she communicated everything to me… my son would even talk about her when at home telling me how much fun he had in nursery. I was nervous when he moved to the pre school room because of how much he loved the nursery room and his key worker but it just allowed us to meet another amazing key worker, Karen. ( aswell as all the other staff at Precious Moments) My son is now in school but he wouldn’t be as confident and lovely as he is now without all of the care and support this nursery offered. Also, big shout out to Karen because months after my son graduated nursery she had recognised my son and I when out and came over to say hi and ask how my little boy is and that means a lot so thank you Caroline, Nancy, Karen, and all the staff at Precious moments. :)

Couldn't be happier when dropping my daughter off so I can go to work knowing she will be well taken care of. The manager Caroline is very accommodating and has helped my daughter settle in by giving her more settling in sessions till she was confident being there without me, now she can't wait to go to nursery. All staff in nursery room are amazing and doing so much to support my daughter with her development as she has cerebral palsy so struggles with certain physical activities. They all take in consideration my daughters likes and dislikes to make her feel more comfortable. When we get there early morning Helena always has peppa pig or cocomelon on for my daughter which helps her start her day and has become part of her drop off routine. Could not be more grateful for the help this nursery and all the staff in nursery room (Caroline, Helena, Nancy and Amy) have given to help make the transition for my daughter better.

Both of my children have attended Precious Moments nursery. I cannot recommend this nursery enough. The owner Caroline and the staff are warm, friendly and approachable. The care and development of the children at this setting is their utmost priority. As a parent you feel at ease knowing your children are in a safe and caring environment.
