Absolutely amazing nursery, all the staff are so lovely. They all care so much about your little ones and encourage them to grow. I couldn't ask for anything more. Thankyou so much for looking after Christopher, it means the world. He loves you all too! 🥰

My little girl started a couple months ago. The staff have been brilliant, they have spent the time getting to know my daughter and me, couldn’t have found a better nursery for my girl . She has come on loads with her speech, singing and movement.

Both my girls went to this nursery and we've been visiting the nursery almost every working day for the past 4 years. The staff are fantastic, very friendly and helpful. My girls absolutely loved them and often repeated their sentences at home to us ("see you later darling or careful sweetheart). This shows how caring and gentle the staff were. With the new parentzone app we've always been kept upto date about our daughter. The staff plan plenty of fun, crafty and engaging activities with the kids. The girls have always come home with such delightful cards to mark most occasions be it father's Day or valentine's Day. We are very grateful for having a positive experience and would highly recommend it. A big shout out and thank you to the lovely staff there, you've really made our children's nursery experience special. Thank you 😊

In my opinion, this nursery definitely deserves its outstanding rating in all areas. All staff are helpful, friendly and welcoming. The baby room and little monkey staff have been amazing with our little boy and he loves going to nursery. The staff work hard and provide fun and engaging activities for our child and also challenge his learning. They work hard to develop links with parents and keep us well informed of our child's day and progress. We couldn't ask for more and I would definitely recommend this nursery to others.
