January 2020 - Samantha Hume “My little girl has been going to St Margaret’s since April 2019, when she was 13 months old, and has loved it from day 1. She’s thrived in the baby room - the amazing staff go the extra mile teaching, playing, dancing, painting (the list goes on) in a really friendly and home-like environment. She comes home having learnt new words and skills and we’re delighted with her progress. I tell my daughter that she’s off to nursery in the morning and she runs for her bag and coat and can’t wait to start her day. I can’t recommend St Margarets enough, I know that they are giving her the best start in life - thank you.
