Birkenhead Testimonies
“We have been really impressed with the provision at Winston’s from day one. All children seem happy going in and coming out. I’m always blown away that all staff know each child by name and welcome them so happily in the morning they know they will have a safe/good day. The opportunities provided to the children are fabulous and Maisie loves getting involved with everything. THANK YOU.”
“We would like to say a massive thank you to all the staff in Winston’s Place Birkenhead. Our children love going into nursery every morning. Each and every one of the staff are so caring towards the children and the updates we receive at the end of the day really show the close relationships they have with the children. (Penelope even likes to play school at home and pretends she is Lucy or Alicia!) Thank you for creating a nurturing environment to allow the children to grow. In the short amount of time the children have been attending, we can already see a massive change in their development which is a testament to all the staff.”
