Me and my kids moved to the area August last year, it was really rough with my son in his last nursery, never wanted to go, always screaming, never got comfortable. Untill we attended TJ’s… They’ve been so brilliant with my son and I couldn’t thank them enough for the countless support they’ve given me and my son for the past 10 months, my son is so happy to attend and loves running out and telling me about his day and his friends! Thank you so so much for everything with him, I can’t wait for my daughter to start in January!

Both my kids go to the before & after school club. The holiday club is great, the kids love it.. the staff are really friendly. The highlight of this half term break was the magic show!! Fantastic, the guy got all the kids involved, my son loved 'lifting the table and making it float'. This is the best place around the Rushden and Higham Ferrers are by far.
