" I can't recommend Leaps & Bounds highly enough.My son was shy & reserved & needed a nursery that felt cosy & nurturing with a family home feel.He blossomed under their care & I always walked away reassured that he was In safe & caring hands.He was also a fussy eater & they encouraged him gently & patiently to try new foods.The trouble they went to to organise trips out was outstanding-I have never known a nursery go to so much trouble to get the children out & about.I was delighted,when my son started school, that their support extended to school drop offs & pick ups. My son has very fond memories of his time there & I am very grateful that their support enabled me to go to work stress-free. "
