The staff are so friendly and welcoming, and actively invite parents to participate in the sessions at 'circle time'. The children have loads of fun and are always desperate to tell parents what they've been doing when you collect them at the end of the session - from picking apples from a nearby garden, to trips to the local railway station to stamp tickets with the station master, to visits from New Forest Rangers, sports day and nativity plays, there is no shortage of stimulation for your little one and they're always tired out (which is nice!).
