My twins who are 31 months old now are going to this nursery from last almost four months now and theres been a significant improvement in their development. My daughter wasnt eating anything at all and now she has started to eat. My son is more friendly and social now, which earlier was a concern for me. Everyone in the nursery are very friendly and understanding. Am glad I found this nursery for my kids. Happy with my decision. Kids come home very happily from the nursery. Definitely recommend this nursery.
