The nursery and staff are fantastic! Kirsty the manger went above and beyond to get my son in full time after experiencing a really bad time at another nursery, the staff were patient and kind when my son was struggling to settle in the first few weeks, the set up is perfect for little ones, the facilities and equipment is second to none compared to other nurseries there so much for the kids to do the staff go out of there way to bring in themed activities, the food is fantastic and cooked by there chef sue who is a huge part of the nursery, all the staff know all the kids and my son had the best time there, he’s now started school and settled fantastic and it’s all down to the time the staff spend talking and helping the children prepare for such a huge move- I can’t thank the staff enough and can’t praise the whole nursery enough- I highly recommend unicorns, thank you all xx

Unfortunately we have been refused to have our daughter into their nursery. The reasons were not honest and transparent but they were hiding their real motives behind "insufficient" history of the child. Such a shame, since our initial visit to the nursery was really positive and we liked what we've seen and agreed on everything, until a phonecall a few days later stating the above refusal.

I can not recommend this nursery enough. My daugther has been going to unicorn nursery for the last 4 years and today was her last day. I can’t thank the staff enough for everything they have done. The care and support the staff have given over the years have prepared her and provided the skills needed for starting school. Sending her to this nursery was one of the best decisions I had made. Thank you to all the staff, you have a great nursery

Whilst writing this I’m emotional my daughter started here at 2 1/2 years old and she’s just had her graduation the staff go above and beyond and my daughter has come on leaps and bounds from writing her name to helping her transition to school and that is down to the staff Kirsty the manager is so lovely and easy to talk to especially being a first time mum she has made so many friends and talks about her teachers all the time at home we as a family will truly miss unicorn nursery.
