- BJBarry JohnSep 2, 20245.0My Daughter currently attends the nursery and I encountered the nursery last year when I was recommended that it would be ideal for my daughter as it will set her up with the right tools To start school. starting on the waiting list being kept informed with when my daughter will start to onboarding and how carefully the staff and management team adhered to my requests, such as dietary requirements, patterns of her sleep, what makes her feel comfortable All I can say is amazing, the food that the chef has cooked for her has always gives her raving reviews. When I’ve had queries with the current management team they have always been prompt to respond and always friendly. Always recommend this nursery to anyone who wants to see their child develop and grow.
- TITitan IndustriesAug 29, 20245.0Very helpful staff and knowledgeable, I have my second child in the nursery and the experience from signing up , waiting list, taster days and then full Monday to Friday sessions is great. I have full confidence in every staff and how they treat my children. Menus are designed around children’s health in mind and sometimes they eat better gourmet food than myself. Would highly recommend the nursery management team have been great in the past and present.
