Testimonials
"Both of my children have attended City Way, from babies to pre-school. The staff are wonderful and really care about the little people they look after. They are a wonderful team, going above and beyond to offer the best nursery experience around."
Martin
Parent"City Way Nursery really are fantastic and I would highly recommend them to anyone. My daughter comes home full of smiles and excitement, always eager to share the activities she’s enjoyed. The staff are wonderful, engaging with her as much as the children she plays with, and the stay-and-play session gave me a great insight into the nursery setting. The pre-school is well equipped and keeps her stimulated, and the caring team make every day special. I can’t thank City Way enough!"
Rob
Parent"My daughter started at City Way Nursery at 9 months old and has been brilliantly cared for from the baby room through to pre-school. The staff provide excellent communication and share all the wonderful, personalised activities the children enjoy. The food is varied and healthy, but it’s the caring, consistent team that truly makes City Way special. All staff are approachable and reassuring – I can’t thank them enough. Thoroughly recommend."
