I previously posted about how excited I was to have my son attend Lara nursery and now he has been there for three months. He has excelled in every way. His speech and development has come on massively and I am so happy with everything he does at nursery. The app is an amazing tool for parents to keep up to date through the day with what their little ones are up to. I honestly thought I'd have my son attend Lara for a little while to get him used to being in a nursery setting and then when he was ready, transfer him to a nursery attached to a primary school so the transition to school was smoother but I don't think I'm going to after seeing how he is thriving and how well he is getting on. Staff are welcoming and helpful and I couldn't recommend Lara nursery enough.

We recently had the pleasure of attending Lara Nursery for the Christmas presentation where we met at the door the nursery manager and several of her staff who were extremely welcoming. The nursery itself is a shining example of what you would wish to find and the thought and consideration that has obviously gone into its creation cannot be understated, it is little wonder why our grandchildren love the time they spend there and are often reluctant to leave. The presentation was a particular joy to watch with children and staff wearing Christmas hats and playing instruments whilst singing along to the songs they had rehearsed, all of them smiling happily throughout. The staff and children had obviously all enjoyed the time they had spent learning songs and playing different instruments as it was more than apparent on all of their faces. I cannot praise the staff enough for the care they show the children, for making us welcome and to feel part of the nursery family.

My grandson has been at Lara Nursery since it opened he has blossomed in every way. The staff and management are impeccable and nothing is too much trouble. The daily diary of your child's day is great. Lovely friendly atmosphere. The nursery itself is spacious and inviting. The outside play area is brilliant and always clean and tidy.

We couldn't be happier with Lara Nursery. Our 1-year-old absolutely loves coming every day and it's so heartwarming to see how much he's developed since starting. The staff are incredibly caring and attentive, always making sure he feels comfortable and happy. It's clear they truly love what they do. The food is also fantastic-fresh, nutritious, and he loves every meal. We've seen such positive growth in his social skills, motor development and overall happiness. We're so grateful for the amazing team at Lara Nursery and couldn't recommend them enough.

We went to look around Lara with our 2-year-old and were really impressed with the purpose-built facilities. From little touches like with window for children to look into the kitchen to the built-in sink in the water play area just at their height made me realise how much consideration has gone into the learning environment. Then big things like an indoor climbing frame for the older ones and floor-to-ceiling windows so there is daylight and always a view of the all-weather playground. The staff have been exceptional in helping my little one and me, for it is the first time I've left her with someone who is not family. I get regular updates throughout the setting-in period and I can truly say they went above and beyond to help her calm down. I also have a baby and won't hesitate to send him there either. The separate room for babies to sleep in was important to me and something I hadn't seen at another local offer. My daughter currently comes home singing songs they are learning for their Christmas presentation. It has been such a joy watching her develop. Thank you!

Lara Nursery is a wonderful and welcoming environment that supports children in their development and encourages them to flourish as individuals. Our daughter skips in on a morning and we struggle to persuade her to leave at the end of the day. The facilities are second to none but it is the staff, their attention to detail and the genuine care and enthusiasm that they show, that sets the nursery apart. The children are encouraged to play and learn whilst fostering a strong sense of independence; serving their own food, preparing snacks, tidying up, washing hands, choosing activities etc. And it is this choice and autonomy (in a supportive setting) that has seen our daughter flourish and settle in so seamlessly over the last couple of months. Last but not least, the food served throughout the day is excellent with a dedicated chef who creates fresh, healthy and nutritionally balanced snacks and meals. If you are looking for a local nursery, we would wholeheartedly recommend Lara's.

Highly recommend Lara Nursery and the manager and her team. They've made the whole process easy, not only have they supported my little girl but myself as well, my little girl went in with utter ease and confidence.

Very happy with this nursery, We moved to Lara after having issues with our past nursery and our daughter now loves it here, she goes on excursions, is always learning, gets to visit the elderly home next door and spend time reading/playing with the older folks in there. At Lara they focus on delivering a nutritious menu to the kids and my daughter never comes home hungry too! Lovely staff and just a great atmosphere in a well-thought-out nursery!

Such a lovely setting with amazing facilities and outdoor space. The team are all so friendly and welcoming and our little one is a big fan of the food! We're so pleased with how well our little one has settled in and it speaks volumes how happy and excited he is every time we collect him.

I honestly do not know where to begin. I am so glad I found this nursery. All of the staff and management are absolutely fantastic. Leaving my son with them is like dropping him off with family. They all make you feel very welcome. The facilities are fab there are so many resources to choose from. The food they give the children is fantastic and such a wide variety. I cannot recommend Lara Nursery enough.

My son has been at Lära since it opened after being at a previous setting. His speach has improved massively, he has become more confident and independent. All the staff are lovely and my son keeps telling me how much he likes everyone there. I feel so involved with everything that goes on at the nursery and have brilliant contact with the nursery with everything to do with my son. It is amazing to see him developing so fast and to see all the new skills he is learning. I feel confident that he is learning more about how to stay safe while out with different people and learning about how to contribute to a group, he did not get even close to learning this in his last setting. Could not ask for any better for my childen at all and would recommend to everyone!

I was invited to a stay and play with my grandchildren of which they now attend 3 days a week. They absolutely love it. The space and attention to detail is amazing. They cater from birth to 5 and I can only imagine that all the children there will be so happy and there isn't anything that they have missed or forgotten about to make the children well cared for and happy. I know my grandchildren are very happy and have made lots of new friends. I love that parental involvement and other family members like myself are included in the development of our children and we are kept up to date. The staff and management are very welcoming and attentive and go out of their way to give our children the best experience.
