The teachers are very understanding of how different children are and don’t adopt a blanket approach which was very important to me.

A perfect starting platform for children. Children learn through play in a fun and safe environment and are taught skills that prep them for school years ahead.

Staff are amazing and understand all the children’s individual needs as well as having brilliant communication both with children and parents.

My son absolutely loves it here. The care and attention to detail by staff is brilliant. I would definitely recommend Sparkles to anyone local in the area looking for a warm friendly caring environment for their children.

Such a wonderful nursery with the best team of staff you could hope for to look after your child.

Thank you in particular for such positivity in relation to *****’s culture and family, we sincerely appreciate it.
