Upset as they left my emails unanswered for weeks... Really would have loved my daughter to attend this nursery either as a 2 year old or for next year as 3 year old (both on funding either 15 or 30 hours). They said there is no places for 2 year olds which is understandable, but when emailed again to reserve a place for when she turns 3 and no answer for weeks.

I’m working at Little Leaders {Stonegrove} as an apprentice. This nursery is amazing. All the staffs are always happy, bubbly, dedicated and very caring. We always greet the parents and children with a warm welcoming. There are variety of activities for children to explore within the nursery and in the garden, which helps them to grow and learn independently and in a group. This nursery is highly recommended to all the parents.
