We've two little ones at this nursery. Both of our children go here only once a week but have never had a problem settling in. The staff are wonderful and make a huge effort to get to know your child and offer feedback. They provide varied and exciting opportunities for the children to get creative and messy! I would highly recommend.

Little shipmates are absolutely perfect in every way. My daughters teachers, Lauren and Jacqueline are so attentive to her, Willow absolutely loves them. The updates I get through tapestry are great it shows how happy she is while she is there. The food is fresh and it’s also made Willow be open to trying new foods which is amazing! Just want to say a massive thankyou x
