I went back to work full time after 8 months, so I wanted a childcare provider that I could trust leaving my little baby with. After having looked around numerous nurseries and other childminders, Sally and the team at The Ark were by far the best. If you want your child to have plenty of time outside, with stability of the same people looking after them, i.e. no turnover of staff, with people who know what they are doing and will care for your children as if they are their own, then the ark is for you. Both my boys go there now and I love how all ages are together. It means my boys can play together, and I’ve seen the youngest really progress playing with older children, and it is a joy to see how good my eldest is with the younger ones and feeling grown up and taking responsibility to help them. The school house is such an amazing location, it feels like going back in time when I drop them off in the morning. They run in sometimes even forgetting to say goodbye to me. I honestly wouldn’t send them anywhere else and it is a massive weight off my mind to know that I don’t need to worry about them at nursery at all. They literally could not be looked after better or have a better time. It’s such a personal service, it really is the best of both worlds. Absolutely 100% recommended.
