Thoughts from our families
Fantastic place and a fantastic team. When we visited it for the first time, I fell in love with it and wanted my little one to be a part of it.
The team is brilliant! Very good and easy communication with the parents. My child really likes it! He is so happy to go there.
We have 2 children who attend the nursery (one preschool and one in the baby room). Both our children are very happy coming into nursery every day!
They love all of the lovely caring staff that look after them and are always happy to see them in the morning. Our oldest child tells us about all of the things she has learned at nursery each day and talks about the fun activities she has taken part in. We couldn't be happier with the care and teaching our children to receive and the setting they are able to grow and learn in. We will be sad when our oldest leaves and goes to school in September as she has formed relationships with so many people here!
The Learning Hive Nursery is absolutely fantastic. From the top down, I have always been impressed by their professionalism and their attentive nature to the children.
The food they serve is interesting, nutritious and varied and the place is always clean. My children come home happy and tired every day, which is exactly what I like to see. The list goes on. I honestly cannot find any way to criticise the nursery as they seem to excel in every area. It will be a sad day that dawns when I no longer drop my kids off there because I've enjoyed every minute of using their services. Cannot recommend it highly enough.
The Learning Hive Nursery is not just a nursery but it has been such an exceptional place for my son to thrive in.
The staff are very friendly, approachable, professional and very motivated...my son has developed into such an independent boy for his age and I loved the fact that whatever we were working on at home once communicated to the nursery staff they supported the action and rewarded my son with encouragement. Very lovely nursery, first class all the way.

Children spend their final year with us getting ready for primary school. By this time, they have made firm friendships and leave us as independent and confident learners, ready for the next chapter of their story.
