Since being introduced to Dawn through neighbours, both our children have attended the setting full time from the age of 1. Not only have they made lots of valuable friendships, but they have been encouraged to learn in a structured, safe and inspiring environment.

Manners and values are central to how Dawn approaches her work, and we've always been impressed about her constant focus on continuously moving with the times and keeping up to date and ahead of requirements. Being able to log onto her online platform and know everything the boys had done that day was great right down to meals, activities and even toilet habits! Unlike a segregated nursery we loved how the children of all ages were together - allowing the small ones to aspire to develop as well as being supported by the older children who further grew from the responsibility of setting an example. Having our two children (2 years apart) together has strengthened their bond.

The quality of her EYFS teaching has given our eldest the perfect platform for when he went to school last September.

Dawn cooks lovely and varied home cooked meals and the children always eat everything!

Activities are wide ranging with trips out and the full enjoyment of a huge sensory garden at the back of the setting. Dawn teaches about cultures, religions, and puts on vocational role plays like post offices or pretend roads complete with mini traffic wardens!

Our children are so polite and caring and the platform that Dawn provided is a major factor in this. I cannot recommend her enough, not least due to the very flexible opening hours with earlier starts and later finishes than most places

A superb setting
