This nursery and the staff are an absolute godsend. My daughter attends the nursery and ive never felt more at ease with her safety and happiness here. The staff are wonderful, so professional and they provide so much care, attention, positivity to my little girl as well as the other kids in the nursery. Whenever i go to pick her up, she is always happy and eager to come back to school the next day! I also want to note that the support I received from the teachers at first when my daughter was settling in was extremely helpful. The nursery itself has an excellent layout, very clean and neat as well as them having a beautiful garden for the children to play in. I would definitely recommend this nursery to all parents!

My son recently started here and this nursery is like a second home to him. Considering the strong connection that he has with me,it only took him a week to settle there with the hard work of the beautiful staff that they have, starting from the lovely manager Wendy who welcomed us and made sure we got a place for him and then his key worker Shinash who has been just amazing. Not to forget all the rest that have become like a family to us, Vicky,Merita,Sue,Claudette etc they are all lovely and I thank them for the dedication and the hard work they do every day. Couldn’t have chosen a better place for my child education.

Since starting nursery at age two, my son's language skills have blossomed. The teachers are truly exceptional, and he is incredibly happy there. He often comes home excitedly sharing stories about his teachers and all the fun he has during his time at nursery.

My son has been attending Leyf Angel nursery for over a year now and he is so happy there. It feels like second home for him. All of the staff provided him with so much care, attention and positivity. My daughter also came here and found it to be a very happy place. Definitely my FAVOUR nursery. Thanks so much from the heart for all your hard work, love, dedication, patience to the children. Also thank you for carrying when they were not feeling well, making everyday a fun environment to go to which was very important too. We will never forget you. Thank you
