My little one has attended Turtles nursery since she was 9 months old and has thrived and developed so much in the past 2 and a bit years since she has been there. She often speaks of the key workers as her best friends and is always running in to see them. Cant fault the team and the nursery. 100% recommend!

Our little boy thrived at Turtles for 18 months before he started infant school, we recommend this nursery to all of our friends. The staff are angels, they go above and beyond and we are still in touch regularly with his favourite ‘teacher’ Ashleigh even now and he’s in year 1 at school! Keep being amazing all of you!!

My daughter has attended turtles for over 2 years. She has bonded so well to the kind and caring staff. They organise so many activities and keep her mind creative. She loves going, enabling me to feel confident in going to work, knowing she’s not only well looked after, but having a wonderful time!

My 3 year old has been attending Turtles for over a year now and is thriving. He started of a bit nervous about going in, but the teachers have really built up his confidence and now he counts down his sleeps until he is back at turtles again. The teachers really have a great relationship with the children and I love hearing about all the fun things my child does every day. I'm also impressed with the level of learning. My child comes home being able to write new letters, recognise numbers and will tell me about the maciton and colour of the week.

Our daughter has been attending Turtles since July 2024, after a year at a childminder. When we first looked around, it really gave a good impression and the staff were really helpful in answering any questions we had. She has settled in really well, we always get great feedback at the end of the day. She gets excited to go and I don't think she ever wants to leave. Staff are always so friendly and it's nice to have that when dropping or collecting. Our daughter has really thrived since attending and we love reading her daily book highlights and getting her art work/personal development sent home. Highly recommend 👍

Amazing nursery, my daughter Harley’s gets so excited to go and even wants to go on her days off. She’s grown and learnt so much for being there just a year and I can’t wait for her little sister to join and love it as much as she does. All the staff are friendly and happy. I recommend anyone to go to turtles
