Outstanding Testimonials

We receive excellent feedback from parents whose children attend our nursery, for example:

“I cannot begin to thank you all for the incredible love, car and support all the staff at Seedlings have given our daughter over the last few years.

She has absolutely loved being at Seedlings. We feel lucky to have found such a fantastic nursery for our little girl to experience. I am always filled with happiness when I pick her up and see her smiling, playing and always having fun…”

Spacious Facilities

Seedlings has spacious facilities and a large outdoor garden so children can get lots of outdoor play and fresh air.

Plus we regularly take children off site to explore nature at Forest School.
