Report
I am so excited about this new nursery. We actually moved to be close to it. They have just kicked off, which means everything is brand new, SUPER clean, and everyone here is truly putting an effort to build something special. The space outside is definitely a big plus for us, as we have just recently moved out from the city so that our 20 month old could enjoy the outdoors, and the closeness to the train station (practically next door), means both my husband and I can conveniently drop him off on the way to work and pick him up in the evening when back. There is also a gym right upstairs! Special
