"We ❤️ Our busy bees. Both my children have been so happy there. Communication is good, they get outside as much as they can, all holidays are celebrated and despite its size, all staff know all the children and it feels like a family. My eldest left last year to go to school but he still talks about his key workers. We’re happy we made the choice :)"
