My daughter has been attending this private day nursery since she was 1, and I’m absolutely amazed at how well she has settled in. She’s almost 2 now, and it’s incredible to see how much she’s learned and grown in such a short time. Even more importantly, she absolutely loves every day there! The manager is so welcoming, caring, and truly amazing at what she does. She has such a wonderful rapport with all the children, and it’s heartwarming to see. The staff are equally fantastic — always engaging with the kids in a way that keeps them excited and happy. I’m so pleased with the nursery, and I’m already looking forward to sending my second child here too. I couldn’t ask for a better place for my little one to grow, learn, and have fun!

I would not personally feel comfortable recommending this nursery. While the children were lovely, I had concerns about how halal dietary requirements were handled, which I found disappointing in a childcare setting. Overall, it was not an environment I would choose for my child.

My daughter went here and now my son is here. Staff are good and actually care. Not easy to find nurseries with staff that actually does what they are meant to do. Nikki and her team are good.
