We looked at 8 other nurseries before choosing Hardingstone Day Nursery. This nursery stood out because of the friendly approach, family atmosphere and facilities for the children, particularly the fantastic outside space. We continue to be very happy that our son is able to attend Hardingstone day Nursery and would recommend it to others. – Parent feedback 2018
