Visited the nursery on Horns road at the open day. Really caring staff who were very attentive to our child can tell they passionate about looking after s children. It had a warm feeling and a very high standard or cleanliness and organisation. Was very impressed with the social distancing and temperature checks in response to covid 19 government guidelines.
