Report
A fantastic nursery and playschool. The staff are committed to providing excellent care for preschool children in a fun and engaging atmosphere. Very conveniently located beside Trenance Learning Academy, Trenance Childcare does a brilliant job preparing children for school. Children are encouraged to develop socially, physically and creatively in a beautiful setting, with plenty of opportunities for outdoor play. After a few years of sending my children to Trenance Childcare I can't recommend them highly enough.

They have been the best nursery I have used with either of my children. The learning is high class, very friendly too and my daughter loves it there. The settle in was brilliant despite covid restrictions, I feel they have taken the right level of care during these tough times.

Can't thank them enough! Wonderful setting conveniently next to the school, absolutely lovely caring stuff, heartfelt attitude to children, my son can't run in fast enough every morning we attend. Definitely the best daycare I dealt with so far with either of my children.
