Sending my child to Tia Ana's was a big mistake. Years after and my child still remembers been asked to go to the office when he misbehaved and was slapped across his face.

Best nursery ever! A lovely safe space for your children ran by a lovely family. Ana and the rest of the team are all super caring with the kids. I first met them when my 6 year old went there as a toddler and now had no doubts when my twins needed a nursery last year. I went back to them, didn't even look anywhere else. I love that they eat nutritious and delicious food every day and I get to see it in my inbox with a daily email. I also really like the fact that the kids can play and explore outside and they even have a small pool for them in the Summer when it gets hot. I love seeing their pictures in the monthly newsletter and the social media to see what they are up to. They also host events for the families which is really nice and makes you feel included. I recommend Tia Ana's nursery to every parent I meet. Thank you for being amazing!

Great nursery for your kids. My oldest daughter used to go there in 2018 and we loved it. Now my boys are attending the nursery and it's great to see their development and how quickly they pick up new skills. Learning Spanish is also a big plus. I really recommend it to everyone looking for a place to leave their little one safe and happy.

My daughter has been going to this nursery for 3 months now and I wouldn't know where to start, the development she has had in this time has been wonderful. Socially, educational and learning words in both languages has been a God sent! I receive a daily email informing me of what food she has had for the day, monthly newsletter, activities for us to join. We have been part of a few charity days where the kids are involved and I love this as they are being taught this from young. (I also love the daily activities that are posted, it allows me to feel involved in her every day tasks and seeing how much fun they have whilst they learn.)

An amazing nursery, staff provide very stimulating activities for the children and ensure that there is no child who is left uncared for. I’ve never engaged with a nursery that has such passion for the improvement of their children. Lastly, all the staff are very friendly and welcoming.
