Our daughter has been attending First Steps since she was 6 months old. We were very nervous at the start but she settled so quickly and the staff have gone above and beyond in their care for her. She is now two and skips in the door each time she is there. An excellent nursery!

Report
Our son has been with Kids at BT9 since November 2014 and has loved it and settled in very well at the beginning. He has come on leaps and bounds! The staff are very professional and friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. Thank you so much to all for looking after him. I would have no problem at all recommending Kids at BT9 to other parents.
