My 2 year old has been at The Nest for a few months and loves it! This nursery is OUTSTANDING. They spend time identifying each individual child's needs and then put plans in place to support and develop them, and it's clear that they really care about the development of the kids in their care. There's plenty of toys to play with, lots of outdoor trips and group activities. And the foods are nutritious. We couldn't be happier with our son's care at The Nest! A wonderful nursery.

My 2 year old loves it here. They write charming insights into what he's been doing there in a book and it's really rewarding to see how he's developing. I was blown away by all the toys they had out when I first went. He spends time outside most days, and I gather they take them to the park opposite in the summer. Car park out front is really handy for the drop off.

The after school club is brilliant. But the lady who answers the door is very very rude.
