Excellent nursery with fantastic people! Our son has been at St Vincent's Nursery for a while and it was obvious how much everyone there cared about him. He had a great time there and made beautiful bonds with his key carers. Food is excellent and the daily activities are great.

We have had both of our kids there over the past 7 years from baby to pre-school and we highly recommend St Vincent Nursery for the amazing management staff, the caring staff in the rooms and the food quality with 2 proper meals and breakfast. It is opened from 8am-6pm with limited closure around Christmas, so really suited for full-time working parents. Our kids enjoyed it and miss this golden age with them!

I have four children and have never managed to secure a place at st Vincent’s until my last child and I’m so sad that my journey with nurseries ends with them and doesn’t start. We have loved everything about this nursery. They have loved my daughter like their own and never a day has gone by where my daughter didn’t want to go to nursery. The outdoor area is amazing and the children are encouraged to grow and develop in a nurturing environment. I would recommend this nursery to anyone. We Will miss you all so much x
