A welcoming nursery that provides nurturing and fun care. Both my children have attended this nursery and have thrived in their care. Management are supportive and welcoming, any issues raised have been dealt wth quickly and efficiently. They have understood my children well, and I would recommend this
provision.

Lovely friendly staff and the garden sold it to us over a year ago. Lots to do with messy play. Chefs food is great and they log how much they eat and nappy changes. My daughter is very happy there and I recommended it to my friend and they have joined also. Only down fall is the carpark, it's hard
getting in and out, best to get there early for a space.

I can't think of anywhere else I would want to send my children. The staff are friendly, caring, yet professional. The nursery itself is light, airy and immaculately kept. Activities are varied and enjoyable. Nothing is too much trouble. My only issue is that my children have to leave when they are
5. Queen of Hearts Nursery and Pre-School, can you please extend your age range to 16??

I knew Queen of Hearts Nursery and Pre-School was right for my daughter the minute I walked through the doors. The staff were so welcoming and it was beautifully presented. My daughter has settled extremely well and is always so excited to go into the nursery. I am really pleased with the progress she
has made because the staff go above and beyond to make learning fun as well educational. I am so excited her future at Queen of Hearts.

This nursery has been amazing! My daughter has never been away from me and they have put their hearts and kindness into helping her settle and feel as though she is in a safe place when I am not around. They have gone above and beyond my expectations of helping both my daughter and I settle to this
big change of going to nursery!They always have smiles on their faces and and reassure you everything will be fine. Truely amazing group of people so happy I found this nursery!!

Since attending the nursery in July my daughter has gone from strength to strength. After a week she wanted to feed herself constantly, she is far more vocal than other children we know at her age, her understanding of language is above her age group and in general, she seems to grasp things a lot better.
All of which I put down to the staff and the level of attention and support they are given.

My daughter started in September 2016 and has already learnt so much. Queen of Hearts is helping to nurture my daughter into the little grown up she is becoming. She loves going and shows me what they have been up to. Highly recommended adapt learning to her needs and desires.

My son attends this nursery and loves it here, he has come on in leaps and bounds with his learning in language, numbers and dancing. They teach as well as having so much fun, my son frequently speaks fondly of all the staff (and children), he always eats better here than he does at home (by some miracle!)
They put on shows and include parents in the child's learning as well as inviting grandparents in for special days too. If I ever have any concerns with my child the staff have always been exceptionally helpful for example my son's speech was slower than most but these guys worked with him and myself to make improvements and it showed. I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough. Lovely setting and garden to play in too.

My daughter loves going to nursery at QOH! She has formed special bonds with the lovely team in her room. I always feel like I am being listened to and that the staff care about my daughter. I have no negative comments, the nursery is exceptional.

My little boy absolutely loves Queen of Hearts nursery! Since starting in October his confidence has grown and he asks if he can go to nursery and when I tell him he can, It is obvious he adores all of the staff, all of whom I have found to be helpful and friendly. I cannot recommend this nursery enough
and when the time comes we will be sending our second child here without hesitation.

My husband and I are very pleased with Queen of Hearts. They look after our boys needs very well and are very supportive. All of the staff are very friendly and look after my two boys very well. My boys are always so happy to go and are full of beans and excitement when I pick them up.

The staff at Queen of Hearts are absolutely fantastic, our daughter always receives a warm and loving reception from all the nursery staff practitioners. Since she started she has really come out of her shell, and her speech and numeracy has vastly improved.
There's always different activities going
on to keep the little ones busy. There's a beautiful garden for those days when it's lovely and sunny and even a Christmas party that Santa attends. There's open days they do throughout the year, which is a must for those who want the best place for there little ones.
