I can’t recommend this nursary more, the staff are incredible and seem to stay for years which is a great sign! They take such genuine interest and care in all of the children. They are so flexible and responsive to child and parent needs and the food is made from scratch and apparently much better than mine… feels like family

An excellent nursery! My daughter has been attending since 2021 and recently transitioned to the preschool room. She adores it. The staff members are exceptionally warm and nurturing, and the management team is consistently supportive. I cannot emphasize enough how highly I recommend them!

I couldn’t recommend this Nursery more. The staff are lovely and really care about the children as well as what helps parents/carers. My little one loves going and has been here for a year now. He started at 9months old and had setting sessions which really helped. Great place great staff.

I can highly recommend this nursery. The staff have all been wonderful to my son over the last few years. He has just left for school and we will miss our weekly visits. The food and activities on offer are of a high standard and the management and staff were always so friendly and helpful.

Our little one has been going to the Grosvenor now for over 2 years and I can honestly say we couldn’t be happier. From the beginning, they are super flexible for your little one to have as many taster sessions as needed, so they are fully comfortable when they start. The whole team are wonderful, nothing is too much trouble. They care about each and every kid and they treat them with care and love. My now 3 year old LOVES going to nursery, and always leaves with a big smile on her face and won’t stop chatting about her day and her friends! They also have wonderful meals made from scratch which my daughter loves, so I know she at leasts eats nutritious food twice a week when she refuses my meals! We are now in the process on settling my 4-month old to start in January, and going through all of it again makes me realise how lucky we are to have found the Grosvenor nursery for our daughters! Such a beautiful, friendly, wonderful team! They cannot be praised enough!
