It's taken some time for me to write this post, but hearing stories from other people has really forced me to do so. All I can say is, if you really care for your child's welfare then you should consider somewhere else. I won't go into detail but some of the practices concern me and i have zero experience in childcare other than caring for my son. Don't say you weren't warned...

This place is 5\*. The attention to detail and the quality of care is incredible. We have used the Ark for 2 children, one has since left and gone onto primary school but goes to space during school holidays from time to time. We find incredible value for money and the long opening hours really suit us. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Staff are wonderful, facilities are spacious, clean and well stocked, fingerprint security is brilliant, wholesome varied meals included, even nappies and formula for babies is included, long opening hours for busy parents, extremely competitive pricing - I cant recommend the ark enough! We drive past 5 other nurseries and it takes 25 mins just to get there but its because its the best, I wouldn't have it any other way.
