Outdoor space
Children of all ages have daily access to the garden, which staff use to support their physical development. Older children kick footballs, build towers, climb, balance and slide, and create running games. However, babies do not benefit from well-thought-out outdoor play experiences.

Our daughter really enjoyed her time at TSN, thanks especially to the very warm and caring team led by Marta. She was always happy to go in every morning and enjoy all the activities they do together. It is a happy and loving environment focused on all-round development and learning throughout the year, with nutritious food prepared on site. It was also a great way for her to continue learning and speaking Spanish after returning from 2 years living in Spain. The teachers really do make a good effort to ensure the kids speak Spanish rather than English! But whether or not that is a priority for your family, I would certainly recommend TSN. From a management point of view, they have also been efficient and easy to deal with. Muchas gracias a todo el equipazo!

We travel over an hour there and an hour back every day. This should tell you that this nursery is worth the trip. The staff are lovely, on the ball and endearing. They speak Spanish fluently and most children are bilingual. They have a wonderful set up here and I am so sad my child will be leaving in July for reception in big school. This nursery is brilliant. Will miss all of you. Azzi loves you all.

My daughter has been attending The Spanish Nursery full-time for almost 3 years. She loves it and never complains when I bring her in. She learned many new things and comes back and talks about it every day. There are weekly themes to ensure that kids have enough time to engage and learn about the subjects. Her Spanish has flourished! Many of her friends are from non-Spanish-speaking families, but that doesn't affect the kids or parents. She has had three amazing key persons assigned to her and my daughter and I adore all three. All teachers are great and they are very aware of my child's needs and interests. I highly recommend it, and would encourage anyone to mee Marta and have the tour.
