Our latest testimonial

From the moment we arrived unannounced to look around little owls Scarning my wife and I knew our little girl should be here.
From our initial drop in to get some details Emma made us feel completely at home, even our daughter who goes to nobody wanted a cuddle with Emma. Going through the formalities was made simple and non clerical.
Settling days were offered and as first time parents we were apprehensive still at this stage. I even cried when we left Aiya-Grace. We arrived and spoke to Charlotte our daughters key worker and once again we were made to feel so at ease. Aiya-Grace loved her and we knew this was going to be a strong bond. Every member of tawny owls is incredible I can’t praise them enough!! From tapestry updates to phone calls, the activities and the level of work that goes into the children’s days is formidable.
Following on from her settling days Aiya-Grace does two days a week and literally cannot wait for each and every session. She can’t tell us this herself at the moment but from her body language and how much she smiles we know we have made the right decision for her future.
This nursery and the people who run, work and help keep it going are angels in my eyes. They all deserve medals for the service they provide. They have taken the childcare platform and raised the bar immeasurably. I feel safe and proud to say my daughter goes here
