"Excellent all round! Staff are really friendly and helpful, and really put you at ease! The nursery itself is really nice and there are lots of activities for the kids to be kept busy with! They also have a great app that keeps you up to date throughout the day about your child! Couldn't recommend it enough, and it's definitely been an amazing experience for my daughter :)"

"Really happy with the care of our children but only drops a star due to poor communication "

"The staff, in particular in the baby and toddler room are absolutely fantastic, they’re caring, kind and compassionate and it’s a really welcoming and nurturing environment. Currently, the preschool room is not as it should be, there is not enough focus on learning such as writing their name and learning basic phonics. Once a room leader is appointed and there is more structure, as when Shannon ran the room, it will be fab! Also feel that at times the manager is not knowledgeable enough and puts their child above the children that attend the nursery. The area manager is great and answers questions quickly and professionally."
