This is one of the best nurseries ive ever been, i recommend it a lot, i was a volunteer there for a few weeks, and then they kicked me out, but it was completely understandble why, and also that is a reason why this one is one of the best, they have a great environment, also the staff members are amazing, and i can guarantee that they treat very good all the children, and they will develop amazingly, they are very professional, and also great mentors, also they are very consistent, and they know what to do, they are very smart, i actually miss the nursery, although i stopped going i really miss those children, i really felt connected, i hope all those childrens have a great future, im so sad because i will never see them again, with the pain in my heart i really wish everything goes good for everyone, they are great human beings.

I like that there is one big room for all the children with about 5 teachers allways around which made me allways feel reasured that my child will be looked after properly. Big thank you to the manager Vicky! I highly recommend this nursery.
