My daughter attended Queens Baby Nursery from 13 months and she settled in wonderfully. She loves going to nursery and I have noticed her develop so many new skills since she started. The staff are so caring and loving to all the children and keep me informed with her activities, food, sleep, etc throughout the day. They have so many creative themed lessons each week and have specialist teachers come in for baby yoga/drama classes, etc. It has really put my mind at ease knowing she is in fantastic hands while I'm at work. I'm very grateful to the nursery for giving my daughter the best start.

Excellent nursery. I am really pleased to send my child to Queens baby nursery. Staff is brilliant. They will always talk to me at the beginning and end of the day and update how my child’s day was at nursery. Super caring staff. So pleased with the timely updates on the app about when he slept, what all and what times he ate, time his nappy was changed and how nappy was. Being away still feels like you are near to your child and you get all the updates.

My 1 year old has been attending Queens baby nursery for a few months now and has settled really well into the room and is enjoying himself. My daughter who is now 5 attended baby nursery and the preschool for many years before going off to school. What really sets Queens nursery apart is the dedication and enthusiasm of the staff, many of whom have been with the nursery for many years and the extra activities, field trips and activities they plan for the children.

Our son started at queens road baby nursery a few months ago, just before he turned 1. He absolutely loves his time there and my wife and I can’t fault the dedication and attentiveness of the staff. He is always eating a variety of healthy foods and doing lots of activities, comes home with a big smile on his face every time! Also love the app and the fact we can track his daily activity when we can’t be with him!
