We love this centre, our almost 4 and almost 2 year olds have been here since they were both 8months old. The carers are wonderful and consistent - yes there are changes, as there are everywhere but the new staff settle in quickly and get to know the children and their individual needs and quirks rapidly. The takeover from guardian was absolutely clunky yes, but we’re coming out the other side and we can now see improvements to the centre. We love the family atmosphere with lots of interaction between the age groups - which my kids particularly love. I always have and will continue to recommend this centre. Happy kids who ask to go to ‘school’ on a Sunday and want to stay on ‘for 5 more minutes’ at the end of the day

Our experience of the nursery and toddler rooms at LELC has been positive. Our toddler really enjoys his days at childcare with his mates. The lead educators and support carers in these rooms are wonderful and have provided tailored care. Genuine care and support has always been shown when our child has needed settling at drop off, has been unwell, or needed support to engage with new activities. Communication is clear and consistent with comprehensive updates daily, activities are considered, educational and fun, and there are quality meals throughout the day including breakfast club. Investment has been made to refresh the centre. New toys and play equipment, furniture, garden beds have all been introduced, and the better use of space so it feels accessible and calm. We have found the current centre manager and administration team have been open to parent group feedback to navigate the challenges faced during the transition to a Guardian Centre. When we provided feedback, sustainable change was made, and we have seen real improvement and benefits. Feedback is now actively requested. Overall, our experience is positive. I can recommend the nursery and toddler room at LELC.
