An absolutely outstanding setting!! The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, When it comes to communication and engagement with children the staff are amazing. I am an early years educator myself, so finding a setting that I was happy with took some time! But Red Roof is excellent!! From the second I met Carly and had our show around I knew that was the place for my little girl! She loves it there, and she is thriving! It’s a setting that is passionate and genuinely care! Both Jill and Carly are wonderful! I couldn’t recommend Red Roof enough, I will be truly saddened when my little one has to leave for full time school.
