We couldn’t be happier with this nursery. The staff are genuinely kind, caring and incredibly supportive, and it’s so reassuring to see that there is no constant staff turnover – the children are surrounded by familiar faces who truly know them well. The team helps with every aspect of the children’s development and always keeps parents informed and involved. Highly recommended.

My daughter attended this provision at the age of 2-3 years of age, her experience was very detrimental to her abilities to overcome her experiences after all these years, she still remembers her experience as a terrible one with ever lasting effects, she remembers staff being extremely harsh, lacked the caring approach. the impact had is lasting and traumatic.
