I only have 2 to chose from due to where I work and my budget sadly.
- OFSTED good. Total number of places a whopping 120! Set in a large detached Victorian house in a village on the edge of the city. Seemed very professional and clean. Each age group had 3 rooms available to them so plenty of room despite the number of registered children. £47 per day including home cooked food (Sainsbury's delivery arrived as I was looking round) they've been been very easy to contact/provide info etc.
10% discount for eldest sibling.
- OFSTED outstanding. Small nursery of 22 (9 in baby room) small site. Older kids room is a wooden log cabin but it felt cold when I looked round. Also felt very cramped for the 13 children there. Food is brought in by caterer. It smelt a bit odd walking round (coudnt place smell- my eldest is currently at nursery and it's not a 'kiddy' smell) they have been a nightmare to contact regarding reading to view, getting fees etc. They were however lovely when I looked round- in fact I was there for well over an hour as they let my eldest join in their song and dance session. Babies £42(+£2.10 for food) and older ones £37 (+£2.10 for food) no discount. Lovely ethos for lots of outdoor play BUT there was only one older member of staff, the rest were all young girls (18, 19 and 20 year olds) the longest had been there only 3 years so worried about constant staff changes and lack of experience as my little one will only be 10months when she goes.
