I would not recommend this nursery based on my personal experience. After raising a safeguarding concern, I felt that the matter was not handled appropriately, and the responsibility was redirected towards me as a parent rather than addressing the issue in my child’s best interests. My daughter was significantly affected by the incident, yet the directors appeared more focused on protecting the nursery’s position than on her wellbeing.
Additionally, there is a charge applied that, according to Ofsted, is not mandatory, which has made invoices higher than expected.
