Both my children attended White Stork and it will always have a special place in my heart. My daughter was there from 10 months old and at this point I feel like Natalie was a third parent, my daughter is besotted with her so much so she can't wait to go to nursery to see her! The staff are so personal they have made me feel so comfortable in leaving both children knowing they are in the best hands. I feel so emotional both are leaving as all the white stork staff have been such a blessing in both my babies learning and progression and seeing how both light up whenever they see the staff is all the justification I need that White Stork is nothing but outstanding!! Everyday there is something new and exciting being set up for the children when I take them in. The children always look so happy and have all day access for the outdoor play area (which is fantastic!). Also to mention Leanne who makes the best meals everyday for the children and have helped my children not be picky eaters! Thank you to all the staff for being such a ray of sunshine everyday and making both my children's nursery experience such a delight!

From the start, white stork have been great and really supportive. Not only to our daughter but also to us as parents. They helped alot with the adjustment of nursery. All the staff are kind and all know our daughter by her name, which they learnt very quickly. Heidi has grown and developed a lot in their care and they do an amazing job. Can't recommend this nursery enough and we are very happy our daughter attends white stork.

My daughter has settled into her new routine at White stork so well, not only have I seen her thrive in this environment with the thanks to her key workers and all the other staff, but the nursery was extremely supportive for those first few weeks that I found so challenging to adjust to. They kept communication open with me and updated me regularly on my daughters progress and her general well being. I feel incredibly lucky to have my daughter in this nursery, as everything they do is done to the highest standard. And special mention to the chef who makes incredible home made food everyday that the children love. And a special mention to our lovely key worker Sophie Rice, who has a fantastic bond with my daughter after only being there for just 3 months. Thanks everyone at White stork xxx

Absolutely amazing nursery. Super friendly and understanding staff. My daughter loved being there and the staff were all very caring and looked after the children so well. The whole onboarding process and getting updates is so smooth. They have it all thought out really well and look at many factors which shows the attention to detail and ultimately how great they're in what they do. My daughter loved the meals they made which were all healthy and nutritious. They make adjustments for each child. Highly recommend to everyone wanting to send their children there. Best nursery I've enrolled my daughter into. A thank you to all the team for giving my daughter the best time she's had at nursery and enjoyed fully.

We started our little boy at White Stork recently - it is a wonderful nursery. The staff are attentive, caring and empathetic. The nursery is very modern and clean. We couldn't be happier that we selected White Stork.

My son absolutely loves his "nursery guys", loves going to every session and he is coming on leaps and bounds in his speech and development (which I don't think I can take all the credit for). The team are always willing to try help which has been a life saver whilst we deal with some family health issues and logistics. They've done a fantastic job with days out and involving parents on special occasions as well as keeping us up to date regularly through their app. I'm just really glad we found them!
