Over the years, we expanded to eight locations, including nurseries and out-of-school clubs in Penarth, Barry, Canton, Cowbridge, and Roath, while maintaining our family-run ethos. Our team of trained professionals prioritises a 'home from home' environment, ensuring children explore and develop with confidence. Accredited by the Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW), we consistently achieve excellent regulatory reports.Bilingual Welsh-English provision is available, reflecting our commitment to local communities. With over 25 years of continuous improvement, we focus on nurturing environments that engage each child uniquely. Sibling discounts and funded provision options demonstrate our accessibility commitment.

Would never recommend. They take pictures of the children via the Xplor app and keep the data on amazon servers just like Uber did - Your childs data is kept in Australia for as long as they want- Disgusting. The management really don't care as long as you sign the direct debit form! My child is not a corner to be cut!

We've been using St Aubin's for over a year, since I went back to work after Maternity leave. It is a wonderful nursery with a staff that know my daughter well. She's always excited to get there in the morning and is reluctant to leave. They always keep me well informed of anything that happens during the day. My daughter is coming on leaps and bounds and I fully believe it is down to the amazing staff there.
