Ruddington day nursery have an engaged and caring team to look after children. There is a cook on site with a healthy 3 week rotational menu plan. Great space and forest school on site. Really professional team and always scores outstanding in Ofsted inspections. Only downside I would say is I wish they did cater halal meat which is readily available to be more inclusive.
