We’ve had such a great experience with this nursery. Everyone is so kind and genuinely caring – it really feels like they treat each child as an individual. They've been incredibly flexible and accommodating with our schedule, which has made such a difference for us. Communication is always prompt and professional, and we always feel confident that our child is in safe, thoughtful hands. We're so grateful to have found this place!

My daughter absolutely loves attending Tangent Nursery! The staff is incredibly caring, attentive, and professional. The environment is warm, welcoming, and perfectly suited for young children to learn, play, and grow. I’ve noticed a huge improvement in her confidence, communication skills, and creativity since she started. The activities are engaging and well thought out, fostering both education and fun. I also appreciate how they prioritize safety and cleanliness. It's clear that the team genuinely cares about every child. Thank you, Tangent Nursery, for providing such a nurturing and inspiring place for my daughter! Highly recommend to any parent looking for a fantastic nursery experience!" All staff supportive and have understanding.

Our daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 10 months old and has just graduated this summer. It was a wonderful but emotional day. Our daughter has loved coming to nursery and the staff are fantastic! Big shout out to Jess and Ellie who have looked after our daughter at different stages and communicated brilliantly with us. Also to Carolyn who has always taken the time to ask questions and get to know us as a family and of course Sue Sue for cooking the best food! I cannot thank this nursery enough and will be forever grateful to them for giving us a friendly and safe place to leave our daugher. 🙂😊💖

My son has been attending this nursery for the last two Years. He really looks forward every morning to go there. The staff are all very friendly, helpful and caring. My son has definitely improved his confidence alot since he started going to nursery and has become very independent. Highly recommend this nursery. Very happy with everything.

We choose this nursery because my son used to go there and graduated there. The way my son was looked after was amazing and that is why we decided to put our daughter there. Our daughter has been attending this nursery since last year 4 full days per week. She loved going to nursery whenever it’s her day off she always talked about nursery and the fun she had throughout the week. She always said ,”mummy I miss nursery today.” The staff are fantastic! Big shout out to liz who have looked after our daughter and communicated brilliantly with us. Also to Carolyn who has always taken the time to ask questions and get to know us as a family with big smile and of course Sue Sue for cooking the best food! I cannot thank this nursery enough and will be forever grateful to them for giving us a friendly and safe place to leave our daughter.
