My 2 year old niece started attending snugbugs in February and she absolutely loves it. From my niece attending nursery I’ve seen a massive improvement in her speech, she is beginning to say more words than she had previously done. She absolutely loves nursery and sometimes it’s hard to get her to try and leave! The staff there are all so very lovely and keep my nieces mum up to date on how she’s been that day and what’s she’s been up to. They have a fantastic outdoor area where my niece can explore all kinds of things from a huge sandpit to swings and slides to playing in a train. She truly loves to explore the outdoors as well as playing with fantastic facilities indoors. I would highly recommend this nursery, staff are always on hand if needing to ask any questions or to talk about your child. Lovely nursery all round!

Both my children attend this wonderful setting. Set in a rural beautiful villiage next to a forest that the children frequently explore. With ample of outside space my children love the big outdoors there are a wide range of activities for the children. The staff are always really welcoming friendly and approachable. I am kept up to date with what my children have been up to with lovely photos and often have pictures, models, cakes, and really sentimental thoughtful gifts the children bring home. My children love attending the setting and have made some wonderful friends. My child’s confidence has grown significantly since attending which is lovely to see. They provide a wonderful holiday club with fun filled packed days with all the things the children love to do. The setting has a really homely feel too you can tell the people really care about what they do, couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

Such a nice nursery set in picturesque grounds. My daughter settled quickly and is always excited to go to nursery. I attended as a parent helper for the recent crafternoon which was a lovely and well organised event and I’m looking forward to future events. My daughter loves being outside and getting stuck in with nature and this is the perfect setting for doing that. Gill and the team have been so helpful and accommodating.

As shift working parents Snug Bugs Wrap Around Care is a Godsend as they are both flexible and accommodating. The staff are friendly and welcoming and my son always comes home having had a fantastic day, he loves playing and learning outdoors and with that he comes home happy albeit usually a bit grubby but isn't that what being a child is all about?! Moving my son here was one of the best decisions I've made and he has come on leaps and bounds.

A lovely, friendly and accommodating nursery. My 3 year old has been going here for nearly a year now and was happy and excited to go from day 1. He enjoys all the fun activities and the great outdoor space, so much that I struggle to get him to come home at the end of the day. You can access daily updates securely online and any questions are answered promptly. I thoroughly recommend this preschool.
