Sparkling Mind Nursery is a fantastic nursery. The staff are friendly and professional,inclusive and my children have always been happy and well-cared for. I would highly recommend them to any parent. It has been a lifesaver for our family. The staff from Victoria, Nas , Dee and Natalie are flexible and accommodating, always felt comfortable and secure there. We are so grateful for their support. All my children left one is in reception and another year 1 ! I feel they gave my children a great foundation

From the very first viewing, I knew that Sparkling Minds was the perfect place for my child's early years. The warm and welcoming atmosphere immediately captured my attention, and I have been continually impressed ever since. Miss Nola, the manager, deserves special recognition for her outstanding dedication and leadership. Her commitment to keeping parents informed about all activities and ensuring a smooth experience is truly commendable. Moreover, I cannot thank the entire staff enough for their pleasant demeanour and unwavering support in my child's development journey. Their dedication to creating a supportive environment for every child is evident in every interaction. Thank you once again for providing such a wonderful place for my child to learn and grow. I am grateful for the positive impact Sparkling Minds Nursery has had on my child's early years.

My daughter has been at this nursery for well over a year & I would recommend this nursery to anyone! The staff are absolutely amazing & they have gone above & beyond for my little girl, they have made such a bond with her and she loves them and the nursery so much! They have also given her the confidence that she needed! She leaves tomorrow as she is going into reception in September but if I could get her to stay here forever I would as she is so happy & will miss it so much! If I ever have another child I would definitely be sending them to Sparkling minds as I couldn’t think of anywhere better for a child to learn & grow!
