"My wee girl loves attending nursery. She is always so happy to go to nursery. When we are at home and in the morning I say "it's time for Nursey, let's go" she now takes my hand and says "go go go" and takes me to the front door. My wee one is always happy when I pick her up and seems to enjoy her days at nursery.

There has been times when I have picked her up early and I don't actually think she wants to leave.

She's been at this nursery since she was 9 months old now 1.5 and is thriving there.

The staff are excellent all so kind and caring.

 

My wee one has had a few bumps there and I have always been told about them / revived communication as and when an incident happens with information on what happened and what action has been taken.

 

My wee one is always well fed there lots of healthy breakfast: snacks and lunchs.

My wee one for now isn't a massive fan of pasta and they always offer her alternative/ extra veg/ they have also said I can bring in a meal of something she likes for her if I wanted on days they have pasta ( declined that as she will start liking pasta again soon).

 

The staff are all fantastic all so kind and caring and are always smiling.

I have not one concern about leaving my we girl there.

 

One thing that they don't offer is flexible days /hours or cant have random set hours out with there set half or full day sessions ( make up times that would sure you) or you can't change your set days each week or month to accommodate shift work .

( most places don't / hard to find a Nursey that dose offer something like this)

This would be the only thing I would say would be beneficial for me as I am a nurse and don't have set days at work.

However, we manage with the set days we have and the Nursey is great as if needed and they can accommodate they will take her in for an extra day.

 

Again I am very happy with all the staff and the care my wee girl gets at this Nursey."
