A really fantastic environment for children to be nurtured and for them to grow their confidence in. Parking onsite which is really useful! and a lovely and caring team who always have time for a chat and always with a daily update of what your little one has been up to all day. We had a great experience and would really recommend this nursery.

We moved from the area a while ago but I wanted to review the nursery as we have yet to find anywhere else which nearly rivals Shepherds Hill. My son still talks about it. It’s small size, family feel, great food and emphasis on being outdoors exploring nature, has left a lasting impression on our family.
