My son joined the Romford setting when he was around 18 months after a disappointing experience at another nursery. We never regreted the decision to enrol him. Our son spent time in the toddler and preschool rooms during the 2 years he stayed at TS. The dedication and commitment the team give every day meant we were soon very comfortable leaving our son in their care, full time. Brittany the manager is absolutely wonderful, very empathetic and consistent. The rest of the team, in particular Lauren and Caroline are extremely warm and professional and our son developed excellent social skills, sharing and manners whilst in their care. I would not hesitate to recommend TS, I only wish our time with them hadn't come to an end.
