Extremely poor class of nursery. The management are rude to customers and have a money grabbing attitude. I would not recommend at all.

My little girl absolutely loves going to nursary. She gets excited the moment she gets out of the car. She started when she was 6 months and is now 1 and I am yet to have a day when she hasn’t seemed pleased to be there. The staff are fantastic and they always do so much with the little ones. I would absolutely recommend to anyone.
