“Amelia loves going to nursery. At weekends she asks when is she going to be able to see her friends. She always talks about the staff as being one of her friends which is lovely to hear. It gives us comfort to know that its a place she wants to go to. Amelia is always bringing things home that she has made and talks about what she has been upto. The tapestry is also a great way for us to see what Amelia has been doing at nursery. We would highly recommend this nursery to anyone. Amelia’s confidence has grown since being at Nursery.

“Joshua has had an amzing time at Bright Sparks, always so keen and happy to get into nursery and has never had a bad day. Joshua has experienced so many different activities within the nursery, no time to get bored. So much to explore and do. The staff have all been so happy and friendly, and have really taken the time to get to know Joshua with his likes and dislikes. We will be sad to leave when Joshua starts big school.
