Closure of rooms

Closure of rooms, has resulted in us having to book time off work.

At times there is not enough staff quota, so parents have to stay on drop off until this is resolved.

Not flexible to allow day change but, weekly requests for parents to bank days.

Staff are great but, the nursery feels understaffed, which is impacted the experience.

Wonderful Nursery

Staff are extremely friendly and wonderful with my child. I would not send her anywhere else. She loves and adores all the nursery workers, but Zoe the Centre Director is her absolute favourite person.

Amazing communication, I can not fault this nursery.
