"Our little boy has recently changed nursery to this one, and he loves it! All the staff are so friendly, and the setting and facilities are fantastic."

"We adore the staff and they’ve been nothing but brilliant for our boy who has been with them for over a year now. The main reason we chose this nursery is because of the menu with its two hot meals a day and the opening times, so hoping that neither of these change as we’ll be forced to look elsewhere. We don’t see many updates on Tapestry, we had thought this would be a couple of times a week but especially in hatchlings compared to nest we don’t often see what our boy has been getting up to whilst at nursery. The crossing outside in the dark evenings is also really dangerous so hoping that the nursery is putting pressure on the council to make this safer. "
