Absolutely brilliant! Such a welcoming and interactive nursery — every day my little brother can't wait to get there, giving him an educational head start for preschool. Offering a varied menu catering to all needs as well as interactive and sensory activities which he loves. Amazing communication between parents and staff!
My daughter started in September and has absolutely loved it from day 1 — honestly can't praise the team enough. They provide wonderful nurturing care, fresh meals, daily updates online and at pick up. There are always activities going on and monthly newsletters. My daughter loves going to nursery and seeing the team and her little friends. It really is a hidden gem.
My daughter absolutely loves this nursery! Her speaking and counting has come on leaps and bounds since starting and she is currently so excited about the caterpillars and butterflies! Overall 5 stars from me!
Sophie and the team have really made me feel so comfortable about leaving my little girl for the first time. She has the best time and has come on in leaps and bounds since starting here. They have gone above and beyond to establish a connection with my girl and I'm really pleased we found this little gem of a nursery. Couldn't recommend it any more!
