Bright sparks have given my son so much support with his learning needs, all the staff are friendly and caring and have a sensitive approach to needs, they are quick to identify issues and waste no time putting strategies in place, they have also given me support and gave me assistance with choosing an appropriate school for my son with their hard work and consistency the transition was exceptional. The staff go above and beyond their job roles to accommodate, and I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a great nursery.
We are very pleased with Bright Sparks Nursery. The staff are welcoming and friendly and our children really enjoy their time at the nursery. The use of Tapestry allows us to see what our children have been doing via pictures and the achievements they have made in set areas. The nursery now teach phonics which is a really good start for going to school as phonics lessons was something that was mentioned at the primary schools we visited and the kids already doing it at nursery is a head start.
