From the Starfish Day Nursery
Our expansive garden space is located in a serene spot away from the fumes of busy traffic.
I can't thank the nursery enough for the love and care they give to my kids; they have both grown so much in their learning and skills since they started.
We can't express our gratitude to you enough for the enjoyable and joyful environment you have created for our two young boys because it goes beyond simple child care and helps to mould their personalities.
I wouldn't think twice about suggesting Starfish Day Nursery to anyone looking for a secure, dependable nursery, and I wouldn't think twice about sending my own children to you in the future.
This nursery has played a significant role in forming my daughter into the person she is now, so I would have no qualms about recommending it to anyone. Thank you so much to the entire crew; you have been outstanding.
