Honestly, I’m really pleased with this nursery. From day one I have truly felt comfortable with my daughter attending. To the point where she is now well settled into the nursery environment. This is primarily down to the amazing staff, including nursery practitioner Hoden, who very attentive and takes care of my child like she’s her very own, Lola, Jackie, Hayden, Asifa and many more. They know who they are. As well as this, Lynn the manager is such a delight. She has been accommodating since day one, allowing additional dates to be added very easily. Lynn is always on hand to help and very proactive in managing the practice.
