Our two kids started here in late September and have loved it. The staff are so kind and friendly, they take time to speak to us and give regular updates on how the kids have been. The owner is hands on which is lovely to see and no matter how busy she is she always takes time to have a quick chat. The meals are home made and our kids always ask for more which is never an issue. They get to nap if they are tired but never seem to as they have too much fun. They come home and tell us about their day and are always excited to go to nursery to play with their friends and the teachers. One of our kids is a pre-schooler and time is taken with her to build on her development. Drop off and pick ups are easy. The location is on a quiet road. The fees are very reasonable and the level of experience and care from the staff is fantastic. I would highly recommend this nursery.
