Honestly, this nursery is everything. My youngest child goes here. My eldest went here 2016-2018. Jean cannot do enough, she's gone above and beyond for my youngest, who is on the ASD pathway and together we've started the EHCP process off. She keeps parents up-to-date and parents have an active say and role in their child's time at nursery. I like that all the mixed aged children are all together which promoted speech and communication skills. My son is non verbal and has dietary needs. I cannot fault the staff at all. They are fabulous. I travel from the other side of town so my child can attend this nursery. He started at another setting and it wasn't for him. My son loves Stanhill and his face lights up every time he goes nursery. 10/10 for us, I wouldn't dream of putting him elsewhere.
