"I rarely share reviews but when I was looking for a nursery for our daughter it was one of the feedback sources so sharing for parents who are looking for nursery. Our daughter is with Mandarin Ducklings for more than a year 5 days per week full time and I couldn’t be more happy about this choice. She looks forward in the morning to see her care giver and friends, tells us with excitement about all adventures, plays, art and sport activities she had. We receive detailed update on her day through the nursery app, we see the delicious food prepared for the kids. I have some background in nutrition and the food is served is full of nutrients and variety, our daughter in 80% of cases asks for second serving. The staff is attentive to details, creative and very caring. If you look for a place for your child to develop in a nurturing environment this is the place."

"I am very happy with the staff and the care and development of my daughter is brilliant.I always feel 100% confident she will be well looked after. They do a variety of activities and my daughter is learning a lot from it. She is so happy to go to nursery every day. That's all I can ask for. They are also very caring, they assisted me in every single step of her grouwf. Mrs Begum and Mrs Lizzy are fantastic as all the other teachers. I really recommend."

"AVOID AVOID AVOID at all costs. My son is 3 and started there at the beginning of September. He was so excited and never cried or threw any tantrums. He actually told us as parents to go home and never wanted to go home, this was for the first 3 settling in days. On the 4th day, my wife was watching my son play with other kids. As kids do there was a disagreement over a toy and the other child had a wooden spoon in her hand and was attempting to hit my son on the face with it. My wife stopped that child from doing that whilst the teacher was there and never intervened. When my wife told the teacher, they made my son sit separate for the entire class and we don’t know what she said to my son but after that he was traumatised!! He was scaedd to go to Bach to the same nursery and cried every time we asked him what was said. I reported it to the manager and she said that she checked the cctv and that my son had hit another child, which was a lie as my wife was there and witnessed everything. They also refused to let me see the cctv. After that we had no choice but to change his nursery, which was very hard because he was traumatised and didn’t want to go in. I tried to resolve the matter and make him feel welcomed by taking him to the nursery and sit there with him. When we got there I explained to the teacher my situation and her expression was of like someone had been caught out. My son was so traumatised by the whole situation, when he went there he actually wet his pants in stress. He is now at his new nursery where the teachers and affectionate, caring and look after the kids. Later on I found out that the other kid that tried to hit my son was actually one of the teachers daughters !!! They cover each others mistakes and behave in an unprofessional manner. Avoid this place at all costs. Whatever the teacher said to my son, he was scared of the word nursery! Thank god he is happy now and settled at his new nursery where he feels loved and is liked after."

"I have been taking my daughter here for 3 years, since she was nine months old. She found the best environment, excellent teachers and the food is cooked fresh every day. We like it so much that we decided to keep taking our daughter here even after we moved half an hour away"
