I went in for a nursery show around which I booked on the phone. The visit was great, such a nice nursery it was clean ,warm and staff were welcoming. The lady who showed us around was so helpful. She went through everything and suggested that we apply for funding. I have just done it online, just wanted to thank her for this.
