Fantastic nursery, friendly and caring stuff ! My daughter love coming there, so many great activities that kids can participate. They also have big garden that gives kids opportunity to spent time outdoors with swings, climbing elements and many others.

People who have rated this nursery poorly have done so for purely vindictive means. This place is an oasis for kids. They are so happy there and the care staff know everything that is going on with them, and with you. They are always doing/making something to the point I've run of fridge space, healthy meals, plenty of fun, to the point where I pick up my kids and they don't want to leave. I'll be sad when that day comes and it's for good. I hope the staff are proud of the hard work they do to make this happen, I'd recommend Cedars to anyone.

Unbelievable nursery with awesome staff. Our son developed so much in his time at cedars which have given him the tools to absolutely smash his reception year.

Cedars is outstanding. I couldn’t recommend the brilliant team there more. So kind, caring and creative. Nothing is a bother and they are so happy to go that extra mile for the children and families. I feel so fortunate my little one has been cared for by the brilliant team. Highly recommend.
