"My 3-year-old has been attending Edwalton since I returned to work post maternity leave. Both him and I have received wonderful care and support across each room and stage of his development. All team members are fantastic, but Tazmin specifically has played a huge role in my child’s development and always going above and beyond to make him feel at ease at drop off and nurturing his interests at home within the nursery environment. Aubrey always talks about Tazmin at home and how she’s his best friend. Thank you Tazmin! "

"When your child happily skips into nursery, waving and smiling then you know you’re onto a winner! My daughter was a baby born in lockdown, however you would never have known as she’s become so sociable! I love at the end of the day there’s a round up on her day and how she’s been getting on, and if you’re in a rush you always have the app which shows nap time, changes, what she’s eaten and her day with some snaps!
