Typical private nursery interested in public funding but not providing the right services. Nursery may be ok but we could not get a chance to get in and see due to Covid restrictions. Staff seem to have no clue about management, there seems to be no one in charge to deal with administrative matters.

Lovely nursery with nice staff and flexible timings. The staff at their 'little school' for younger children have been particularly welcoming and helped my little one settle in well. Keep up the good work and the smiles! Thank you

Worst place ever! Managers have not got a clue how to communicate to parents! I found her rude!!! ...I didnt leave it under the wrong name. I came to view the nursery and the approach was disgusting and how ill mannered the managers were, they wish to appear superior than you. Nowadays private nurseries are more about bums on seats in how much they wish to claim from the government rather than how they look after your children.

The staff at this nursery are amazing! We had some issues with our previous day care and it took a lot to give another place a try. One of my kids is in school now and the teacher said the nursery did a lot for his development. My daughter is in the toddlers she loves food, when she is so fussy with food at home and loves the staff, always bringing home nice paintings and work. Thank you girls for keeping my children happy and safe.

My two children attended the nursery. The staff are very attentive to the children's needs. We felt our children were in a very safe environment and cared for so well in a brilliant learning environment. The setting is very welcoming with bright spacious rooms and a clean outside play area well equipped. Thank you to all the staff.
