Great nursery! Loving and caring staff that cope very well with so many young ones and do a fab job in teaching creative songs and learning through play. They are a well organized team and support parents and children alike. Lovely school grounds and equipment inside and out. They supply an abundance of varying activities for child developement on a weekly basis. My daughter has loved every day spent there.

Today, with my business Immersive Theatres, I delivered a 4m digital planetarium experience to 90 Nursery children aged 2-4 at Wallace Road Nursery School. I was warmly welcomed by the staff and found the room prepared just as I had requested. The day was well organised with all groups arriving on time. The excited children enjoyed a rich selection of content: peering up at the planetarium night sky, visiting the International Space Station, identifying space shapes, handling a meteorite and travelling both below and above ground with Plato the Mole. Thank you Wallace Road Nursery School for a

Excellent nursery run by some brilliant staff. Many more activities here than I've seen at other nurseries, lots of equipment in the garden for the children to play on, my daughter still talks about this place regularly, she loved it that much. Would recommend to any parent.
