My daughter started in the baby room and is about to leave to go to school. She has LOVED going. Staff are brilliant and the outdoor space the children use-every day- is fantastic!

Both of our children have attended Learning Curve, our youngest from 9 months until starting school. We cannot fault them, great staff, care, outside space and education. Highly recommended.

Our son is loving his time at Learning Curve and we have every confidence in the very competent staff that they are taking good care of him. He eats better at nursery than he does at home, and spends lots of time outside being active and observing nature. Staff are always willing to adapt to his individual needs (as much as is possible in a group environment) and to plan activities which will be engaging for his learning style. We enjoy hearing what he's been up to when we pick him up at the end of the day.

Learning Curve has been like extended family to us. We have had our children there for 4.5 years and leaving was really hard for us. The staff looked after them like they were their own and have been instrumental in their development. Its amazing seeing passion like this, even through the difficult covid times. Our children seem to eat better and behave better at the nursery too. We loved the outdoors space that the nursery offers and the fact that activities are not confined to a room or a small yard.

Staff were neglectful. Child often came home upset due to hunger and was sent home 3 times for being ill when he was in fact dehydrated. After cancelling due to concerns of care they contacted social services to file a criminal complaint which took a long while to clear up as false with no evidence. Do not use their service.

Staff bully other staff and are unkind. No one does anything to help. Poor management only care about trying to get outstanding on the day Ofsted come, don't actually care about what actually happens just about how the staff rehearse for Ofsted. Poor management avoid dealing with situations more worried about looking good to other management and pretending they have done atuff what other staff have done.
