My daughter has went here since we moved home a couple of years ago and she absolutely loves it. The staff are all absolutely brilliant. So caring and genuine. You can tell they all have a real passion for working with the children. It is family run and you can really tell. The Hunter family are so warm and friendly and immediately put us at ease. Couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough.

My daughter started back in September 2018 and has progressed through different rooms to her current place.The staff have always give a high level of care to my daughter and this gives me great piece of mind. The activities/structures and routines have really helped in her developement. She looks foward to going and is very happy , except when Mummy comes too early to pick her up :-)
I think the family hands on care gives something extra and is more personal. Can't recommend enough..

Our child commenced Robins Nest in Oct 21 throughout the pandemic they had no interaction with any children or adults but from day 1 the staff where exceptionally welcoming and helpful. After the first few days and detailed reports at handover we immediately felt that we had made the right choice for daycare. Are fears were that are child wouldn't enjoy daycare but he actually cries coming out as he has so much fun at Robins Nest. Couldn't rate the staff highly enough

Our son started with Robin's Nest in August, just after turning 1 year old. Still being in the middle of the pandemic, it was a very worrying time for us to be sending him to daycare. We had visited numerous daycares however Robin's Nest stood out from the rest and within the first 5 minutes of meeting Emma and Victoria, my husband and I had already made our minds up. Since day one our son has loved his time here. Every time he is dropped off/picked up he has a big smile on his face. We are all treated like part of the family and the communication between our family and the staff has been excellent

Robin's Nest is an outstanding nursery and my two children love attending. Their rooms are geared perfectly to the children's needs and are fun and stimulating. The staff are friendly and warm and will look after your child in a caring and loving way. The food the children enjoy is second to none and is well balanced, nutritious and delicious. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. Robin's Nest, thank you for everything you do for us.

My son has been going to Robins Nest for the past 7 years and without a doubt it is the best nursery around. It is a family run nursery with loving and caring owners, amazing staff who together care for your children like they are their own. It is all about the little things, for example the amazing outside space they have which has artificial grass so the kids can play all year round, or when I am asking them for their Irish stew recipe, or what brand of bread they use (requests from my son) they are more than happy to oblige. Overall I cannot recommend this nursery enough, your child will love
