Parent's Testimonials

Hamzeh Aledous

My daughter has only been at this nursery for two weeks, and I can already see a huge difference in how well she has settled compared to her previous nurseries. The staff are caring, welcoming and genuinely know what they are doing, especially during the early stages of a child joining. They have been patient, helpful and very supportive.

 

The manager, Sandra, is extremely professional and understanding, and you can clearly see her leadership reflected in the team. My daughter’s key persons, Lisa and Emma, have been amazing with her. They give her the attention, encouragement and comfort she needs, and she has settled so much faster than I expected.

 

I’m really happy with the level of care and the environment here. Highly recommended.

Michelle N

Our son K attended this nursery for over a year, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience he had. From day one, the staff were incredibly friendly, caring, and welcoming.

The nursery is always full of fun, with a wonderful mix of creative, crafty play and engaging activities that kept K excited to go every day.

 

We’re so grateful to the team for creating such a nurturing, stimulating environment where children can thrive, explore, and just be themselves. Thank you for giving our son such a happy start.

Meera Bhandari

My daughter started attending this nursery when she was just 2 years old, and it has been the best place for her. The staff are incredibly caring, patient, and hardworking. They truly go above and beyond to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for the children. A very good and dedicated team — I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a supportive and loving place for their child to grow and learn.

Lucy

I am so happy that my daughter attends this nursery. They are great team of friendly, kind and supportive staff. There is always activities going on, there is lots for the children to do and plenty of outdoor space. They even take the children on woodland walks which my daughter loves. They do fun learning games, singing and water play. Continuously working hard to ensure the children are happy. They send out notifications so you can see activities your children have been involved in too. Overall the best nursery I’ve used.

Extremely highly recommended.

The main thing is I know my daughter is completely happy and safe when attending 🙂

Mirella Rojek

Our daughter attended this preschool for two years, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The teachers are incredibly caring, professional, and dedicated to the children’s development. We noticed so much growth in her confidence, social skills, and language abilities during her time there.

The environment is warm, welcoming, and safe – a perfect place for little ones to learn and explore. The activities were always creative and engaging, and we appreciated the regular communication from the staff.

We’re so grateful for the loving support our daughter received and for the wonderful memories she made. We highly recommend this preschool to any parents looking for a nurturing and high-quality early education!
