Best nursery you can ever give your child, my daughter loves it here and the teachers are amazing the kids learn so much staff even potty training they assist them so they are independent. My daughter has had her best time here at flying start nursery.

My Child attended here. I've visited many nurseries before choosing this one and it's the only one that actually felt right in the area. The staff are so lovely and attentive. They know all about your child and watch them carefully. My child loved it there and I would recommend this to anyone searching a nursery around the area.

All the staff are amazing, my two year old has really flourished since starting Flying Start Nursery, her confidence and speech has developed really well. She’s always having fun and is happy to go in everyday, I love that we can see what they have been up to on the tapestry journal app.

Honestly cannot fault this nursery. Both my girls have been here with my youngest finishing soon. The staff are amazing with the kids and my girls were always excited to go. Would also have to mention sofina who is one of the sweetest people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing for 4 years, truly a star! You’ve watched my littlest grow up for 4 years and we will be very sad to leave this summer. Thank you for everything everyone at Flying Start.
