My son has just left wishing well after 3 very happy years. We have found that the things he learnt…read morethere have given him a really good start at school especially with reading. He is still in touch with some of the children he meet there although none of them go to the same school as him. I also felt very comfortable with the level of care he received. When he left we were given a book that covered all the activities he had taken part in over the years and a CD with all of the photos that had been taken. The staff were always very caring and available to talk at any time not only if concerns were raised but to tell you about any of the things my son had done well at.

He went over 3 days and had a snack in the morning and stayed for lunch each session. The Nursery is absolutely fantastic, the kids are placed in separate rooms according to age and have lots of age appropriate toys and activities. The staff are friendly, tidy and are really keen to encourage the children's development, they are very enthusiastic and loving. The food is fresh and the kids get a choice of 2 meals which is great if you have a fussy child! There is plenty of fruit and vegetables and the menu is well balanced. The play area has been revamped and they have a great space for playing and growing produce in the garden in keeping with the green values of the nursery. Security is tight and they even have Nursery Cam allowing parents to check in and see how their child is doing throughout the day. I never did as I felt completely at ease with my son being in their care. I really can't fault this nursery, they certainly set my son up ready for his first year at school, which he is thoroughly enjoying with total confidence thanks to his nursery experience.
