What the Parents Say
Don't just take our word for it - here's what some of our parents have to say about us:
"My son absolutely loves Merry Poppets. Ever since he started there, I have seen a growth in my son academically and emotionally. The staff there are so caring and loving. Even if there is an issue, they make sure to take their time to explain things through in a respectful manner."
"My son attended Merry Poppets nursery from around 18 months until the summer of 2022, and we could not fault the care and support he received throughout his time there. As a September baby, I was always worried because all his friends started school the year before he did, but the staff did a fantastic job at getting him school-ready."
