Hello, we're looking at nurseries in Wanstead and can't decide between two, the main Treehouse one or the Seagry Road Little Bear's nursery. Any thoughts are welcomed.
Thanks

Hi, our DS has just started at Little Bears on Seagry Road. We didn't actually go and see Treehouse, but we saw both Little Bears and decided Seagry Road was the right place for him.
Lovely staff, really nice outside area.
We are really happy with our decision. One reason I didn't put Treehouse as an option was reading a lot of reviews about high staff turnover but we have friends who have sent their children there and love it.
Have you been to visit them at all?

Hello,
Thank you for your reply. That's great that you're very happy with LB and your son is settling in.

Yes I've seen both nurseries and like them both, but agree there appears to be some comments relating to high staff turnover and a few other things that concern us re TH (such as a current news story relating to the owner). In contrast there doesn't seem to be any comments (positive or negative) re LB, so I was keen to hear from parents who sent their children there.

Thanks again.

Glad you saw the news story as didn't want to mention it in case you hadn't.

I'm not sure if Treehouse do this but the main selling point for LB for us is that it's basically all inclusive. He has a change of clothes that stays there and he doesn't have to take anything else because they provide all nappies and bottles etc. Makes leaving the house in the morning a lot easier!

Thank you that's very considerate of you. I'm following it to see what happens. TH is also all inclusive, but I've found all the staff at LB to be very friendly on the phone and I'm getting a warm vibe from there. I will let you know what we decide when we make a decision. In the meantime if you hear anything from your friends whose DC go to TH, particularly in relation to the case, please let me know.

Thanks again.
