Very bad. Staff are awful and talk badly about the children. Most staff are not qualified. Children do nothing but sit and play with the same activities every single day. Manager is useless especially with the parents. Hygiene is very bad. Especially in the kitchen. Nappys are never changed. Children are not fed properly l! Don’t be fooled. Please take your child else were.
