My son has been going to Roxeth Mead nursery since he was 7 months old. We love all developmental activities the nursery provides such as arts & crafts, cooking classes and playing. They have a great garden at the back with all outdoor equipment to get all that energy out. I love that the nursery provides daily reports (photo&video), of what kids are up to that day. I find it really nice that they keep the community spirit together by organising events such as Nativity play, Sports Day and Easter Bonnet parade. I highly recommend this nursery!

From the moment he started, my little one has thrived in the nurturing environment that Roxeth Mead provides. The teachers are warm, caring, and genuinely passionate about helping each child grow and develop at their own pace. They have created a safe and stimulating space that encourages exploration, creativity, and socialization. My son loves going to school every day, and it's clear that he feels happy and secure in the company of his teachers and friends.

Do you want your kids to enjoy going to school? Would you like them to come home telling you excitedly about all the new things that they have learned? Would you like nursery teachers you would trust with your back? If so, you should put your child here. It’s absolutely excellent. I would not have dared dream that in a messed up childcare system my son would end up in such a brilliant place. I would give it ten stars if Google allowed it.
