I had just started my new job when my son started here, he was quite reserved and clingy at the time and everyone at Nurture and Grow were so lovely and patient with him whilst offering (like the name says) a nurturing space. My son made such amazing progress here and came home learning new things all the time (which is a huge thing for me as my son has a sort of speech difficulty) Seeing his growth was just another reason to add to this centre being so amazing. Unfortunately we made a big move and my son is mo longer attending Nuture and Grow, however we will never forget this place, we will always visit and we cannot recommend Nicole and her amazing team enough! A beautiful centre who truly do put the children’s needs first.

My child started here at 11 months old at the start of 2023. She stayed for over a year. I witnessed boys on numerous occasions playing rough and hitting each other aswell as my child in front of me in an area no staff were present or able to see them as I dropped my child off. As soon as I found out she was the only girl in amongst a group of rough boys I pulled her out and sent her elsewhere. I wasn’t told and had to find out for myself by noticing it. My child has been traumatised by those boys and doesn’t want to go back to daycare at all. I’ve tried 3 other places and she just won’t settle. So no daycare at all for a year now. The hours weren’t flexible like other daycares. Was pressured into increasing her days. In response to your reply: Ive enquired about the hours and now your expecting full time paying families, minimum of 3 days to start but enrolled as a full time child and hours are still not flexible.

We cannot recommend Bay Buddies any higher, they are certainly worth more than five stars. The time and care they show the children is exactly what you hope for it to be. We will be forever grateful for you guys!
