My daughter haas really thrived here. I was really anxious about leaving her in nursery and did a lot of research. St Johns is a little nursery but has a really tight knit team of staff who clearly adore looking after little ones, and maintain a great balance of professionalism and kindness towards the children. It's been a very stable environment for her and she loves going and has made lots of friends too. She settled pretty much instantly. They were also tremendously supportive during potty training. Literally the only thing to be aware of is that the days are shorter than some of the larger nurseries in the area (which I’ll be honest, I didn’t get a good vibe from), but the fees reflect this (they accept most funding too I believe). They also offer breakfast and tea clubs to extend the days. All in all a real gem of a place.
