What Parents Are Saying
I just want to say a massive thank you to you all for looking after our daughter over these last 3 and a bit years. We sent in a card and some chocolates for the girls today, but it just didn’t seem to say thank you enough! We are really grateful to you all for all your hard work. The whole team have always made us feel welcome and she has made some great long lasting friends. The girls have always been great with her, from when she has been ill, to when she has had wobbly moments after being dropped off. Never once have we been scared to leave her and know she won’t be properly looked after. We have never had a problem with any part of the nursery and have felt that she has always had the best amount of care, support and education. Over the past few weeks she has said she doesn’t want to leave nursery to go to school, so to me, that says it all!! Thank you all again so much! I couldn’t recommend Hackenthorpe Hall highly enough! I think there will be some tears when we leave today as I was very emotional when I dropped her off this morning!
