The Best of the best Nursery

5 stars

Highly recommend! My daughter love going to her nursery. Seeing my daughter, how she develop her skills, social behaviour and confident. She learned so many things (counting, identify colours, writing & creativity in art). They also teach children the diversity( different languages & culture of other countries). Which I'm so impressed that my daughter can sing in different language. Nicole and her staffs are very helpful, supportive and friendly.

Two very happy and well cared for children

5 stars

Both of my children have gone to Dolphins from 6months old and I have been very happy with how they are looked after. The staff at Dolphins are experienced and have been at the nursery as long as my children have so I am confident with how they are looked after. They are really friendly and welcoming and ensure they get to know all of the children. My daughter has just started school and left confident and ready to start school, having done counting, writing as well as having lots of fun. My is nearly two and is learning so quickly in his surroundings. The nursery have taken them on some great trips out, and invite parents to join in when possible. The price is cheaper than several other local nurseries but I found this nursery better than the others I visited, more than anything because it is a warm, friendly environment.
