What parents say about us

"He is already spelling his name, he loves reading and he wants to do things on his own 'like how the teachers showed him', for example putting on his own coat and tidying up. I wanted to write and let you know how well he is doing and how pleased I am with your nursery."

"I am writing this email to let all the staff know how fantastic nursery is. My child is absolutely loving going to school and although he found it difficult at the beginning now their is nowhere else he would rather be. I will be recommending this school to everyone."

"I am so overwhelmed, with the progress my daughter has made in the nursery. My daughter enjoys going in everyday with excitement. I can't express how much she has learnt in the space of one term. This nursery is giving my daughter the best start to her future education."
