Very unprofessional and dishonest! Attended a viewing and at the end I didnt get a sign up form or anything just wanted my email to send me over what days they have. I was told before attending the viewing that they were spaces aswell! Never emailed me I had to call constantly until I got an email saying they havent forgot about me and they will get back to me again in a few days. 3 weeks gone and still havent heard anything. Judgemental!

I have had the pleasure of working with Chloe Baker, who is the new owner and manager of Baker Street Nursery and Preschool, for many years. She is an incredibly genuine, dedicated and trust worthy person with a real passion and talent for working with children. She has always provided outstanding customer service and treats her staff, parents and children with high level of care and empathy. I cannot reccomend her enough for the care of your child.
