Big Ben has been a wonderful nursery for my 2-year-old daughter. I was nervous about sending her to nursery for the first time, but from day one, the teachers and staff were incredibly patient, caring, and reassuring. They kept me updated on how she was adjusting, always responding quickly to my messages. Now, after a couple of months, she truly enjoys going every day. I love that the school shares regular videos via WhatsApp, giving us a glimpse of the fun and engaging activities she takes part in. It’s also comforting that they’re happy to answer any questions or give updates throughout the day. The staff’s warmth and genuine love for the children shine through in everything they do. I highly recommend Big Ben to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for their little one.
