Parents Reviews
“The teachers are wonderful and our daughter is so confident since being there. It's also a really nice size - not big at all, so all of the kids know each other, and as a parent, there are opportunities for getting involved and meeting the other parents. It has much more of a community feel than other nurseries I know about. It isn't at all 'corporate', which I really like. I thoroughly recommend this nursery, it's great.”

“Lovely nursery, with brilliant staff and an amazing green space for the children to enjoy. Forest-school type of curriculum where the children thrive.
The place has only 2 classrooms and relatively small number of children, which makes the care of the staff very personal.”
