The Learning Experience (or Bubbles as we call it) is a game-changer. We had our other child in two different nurseries and we can say with confidence that The Learning Experience has far the best facilities and teachers. Our boy loved that place from day one and we feel he has the best care and education there. The Learning Experience's great location makes it extra convenient for us. We wish they were here sooner so our two children could attend.

Wonderful nursery with amazing friendly staff. My little one has settled perfectly and really looks forward to seeing his friends every day. The nursery provides everything we wanted in order for our child to thrive, I would highly recommend The Learning Experience for anyone looking for a new, clean and nurturing nursery.

I was walking down the road one hot summers day and bumped into this huge colourful elephant. My little girl was infatuated with him and would not let him go. I then went to view the nursery and wow, just wow. I was taken aback by the bright space and what the centre offers the children. The facilities are out of this world, it is something that you will not experience at another nursery in the UK. The staff and management team was so welcoming and made me feel at home from the moment I spoke to them and that continues throughout the whole time my child is here. Every day my child comes home with such amazing stories of what she has learnt and the benefit of the app they have means I get sent photos and feedback daily. I can promise you this nursery is one-of-a-kind and one you should send your child to.

My son absolutely loves going to his nursery. He is made to feel welcome every day and is kept engaged with the rich curriculum the nursery provides. The manager and her team are incredibly nurturing and will do their best to accommodate the individual needs of the children. I'm so lucky to have this nursery so close to me. Highly recommended.
