Fantastic care and attention to both of my girls. The team are an established group that work for the children and this shines through with wonderful results.
Sam looked after both G and A. While Sally and Steph looked after G in the older room.

Thankyou to all the team for the experiences you have given my girls.

Lydalls Nursery School really is an Outstanding place. My little one thoroughly enjoyed their time there. The staff are totally fantastic, friendly and welcoming and it really impressed me how well they knew each individual child and their family. The classrooms and garden area are amazing and have lots of activities for all. My little one progressed brilliantly in their learning and became ready for big school all because of their time at Lydalls. I cannot recommend this nursery school highly enough.

My older children went to an other nursery which I feel they missed out on the wonderful experience my younger children have and are having at Lydalls.
It Is a friendly and welcoming environment where children come on in leaps and bounds. Growing in confidence.
The staff become part of the family as they’re all so lovely.
I would highly recommend Lydalls Nursery.
