My son has been attending The Children's Triangle Nursery for nearly 18 months. In that time he has received care of a very high standard! He attends the weekly Forest Schools sessions, which is what initially attracted me to the nursery, and he absolutely loves it. The Nursery, and especially his keyworker, have taken the time and attention to meet his individual needs and from this I've seen my son's confidence develop. It's a joy to drop him at nursery; he's happy, stimulated and, most importantly, cared for. I can not speak highly enough of the work that The Children's Triangle do!

My son has been attending the children's triangle for over a year now and he has excelled in so many aspects of his learning and development, the staff/teachers are lovely, organised, and hands on! Never had any issues with this nursery, nothing but positives from my boy and this school. They are very adaptive to all the kids, very clean environment, couldn't fault them. My son loves going, he was attending weekly forest schools and always tells me what he's done in the day, whether it's playtime, painting, learning something new, my sons speech and confidence has come a long way aswell which I'm so happy with as he never barely said a word now he don't stop talking thanks to this amazing nursery. I recommend to anyone.
