    My kids have been kept secure, thrived and well prepared for school life. the discovering environments are high quality and outdoor discovering is a priority which my boys loved. Updates is great and the setting is managed well by the Childcare centre Manager. There isn’t anything that he wouldn’t do for you. I highly suggest Thornton Lodge to prospective parents. Both my kids have attended this childcare centre it is an incredible place with welcoming team who put kids at the heart of everything that they do.

    All the team are highly down to earth and cannot do enough for my daughter. She is so excited to tell me everything she has done and eaten. She has also gained lots of friends and she would attend every day if I would allow her to, which is why I started my baby at Thornton Lodge. She has come on leaps and bounds. I recently changed the childcare centre for my little girl and noticed the positive impact Thornton Lodge has had on her.

    My kids have loved coming here and are sad that they can no longer attend as they both go to school now. The team are highly attentive and committed to ensuring that my kids are secure, well and know how to assistance their development. Updates is great and team consistently give regular feedback on daily activities, including food, which my two boys adore! I would highly suggest this childcare centre to everyone. I have two boys who have both attended Thornton Lodge since they were nine months old.

    He has learnt manners, writing, and being a attentive, thoughtful little boy. He would come to childcare centre on a weekend so that speaks volumes to the team. Lovely team, my son enjoys playing outside in the playground, messy playtime.

    The team have been exceptional, and they, and their leader, consistently go above and beyond to make it a cheerful and attentive place. Their affection and care for the kids is a joy to see, all carried out with a inviting sense of humour. My granddaughter has loved her time at this childcare centre.

    Had to move my son as his childcare centre he had been at for 2 years shut and they did everything in their power to welcome him and settle him. The team are all exceptional, lots of different playtime areas and his phonic knowledge has come along leaps and bounds. He loves going to childcare centre and has made some remarkable friendships that he will carry on to primary.
    My daughter also attends the baby room and as a baby who was highly clingy they have truly helped her settle and she truly enjoys going now.
    The childcare centre manager is highly approachable and does everything in his power to accommodate parent’s needs and to involve parents in their kid’s development. Absolutely exceptional childcare centre.

    They have helped my son to grow and develop during his time here, and I have used different nurseries before this one, and I would never send my kids anywhere else! A home, not a childcare centre, inviting and consistent.

    The team are highly attentive, well‑informed and know my kid well. He completes/participates in a range of activities each day which are set up by the team. He is highly well fed with a great range of choices. They have incredible facilities (including outdoor space) and a excellent range of toys. The team keep a excellent record of his achievements and targets and seem to do more than is required of them. He has bonded well with the team. The team also plan excellent activities/parties on occasions e.g Halloween and Christmas, which he thoroughly enjoys. My son has been attending for just over a year.
