I could not recommend Snowflakes nursery highly enough. The love, naturing, care and attention that goes into these kids is beyond exceptional. First my daughter attended the pre-school and was more than prepped for her transition into Reception, they really went above and beyond to support the transition period. My 2 year old son has been here since he was 1 and has settled in beautifully. He comes back a happy and confident child, retelling me his day and always looks forward to going every morning. The staff and the work that goes behind every child to prepare them for life and school lessons is something I couldn’t have wished for more. The staff are all kind, polite, highly experienced, patient and extremely helpful and attentive when I’ve had any concerns with my son. Keep up the amazing work!

Snowflakes has been all we could have wished for in a nursery. I have visited many nurseries but this one is absolutely the best! Snowflakes has always been the second home for our daughter. They have the best staffs in the town and my daughter never stops talking about the key persons, staffs and her friends at home. Her daily activities are updated via an app and briefed by ever-smiling staffs at the time of collection. Our daughter has developed in so many ways. She is more confident and balanced and loves going to the nursery every morning. She looks forward to meeting her key person every morning. We love all the teachers who are warm, caring and very professional. I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents. Thank you so much for making the difference. We will miss the nursery very much.

Both my sons attended Snowflakes and that was the best decision I made for them. My second son attended Comer crescent and he loved going there. He settled in so well and all the staff and management are very friendly and very approachable. I was always well informed about my sons progress and how he is doing at the nursery. All staff are very professional. When I dropped him off at the nursery I was happy that he was always well taken care of.up to date with technology,I loved the daily updates I received through the app as while I was at work I can still check what he has been doing at the nursery and the pictures make my day.Thank you for all the good memories you helped my son make at the nursery. He will definitely miss you all.

Snowflakes is a great nursery. I'm really happy with it. My 1st son was there from 2009 - 2012 and I'm now back with my daughter who is just under 2. Both my children never cried going into the nursery. Staff are so nurturing , friendly, and professional. The manager is great, very approachable always receives me with a smile and willingness to help and make my daughter experience the best one. My daughter loves it there. I get daily updates with pictures of her and commetns on her development. For the very fewest times my daughter has been unwell or hurt herself whilst at nursery, staff have acted appropriately and informed me promptly. One of great things I love is also the fact that everything is included, from nappies, to milk, to food. For me as a working mum that is great, not to have to worry about having to pack a bag everyday.

Snowflakes is such a lovely nursery. We felt warmly welcomed the first day we arrived. We get daily updates on how our daughter is progressing and all the amazing activities she has done throughout the day. My daughter has been at the nursery for 2 months now and I can see a massive difference in her vocabulary. She is picking up all sorts of new words. She knows what a trapezium is! If you are looking for a nursery to feel assured that your child is safe and being stimulated, I cannot recommend snowflakes enough.
