"I am so pleased that I placed my daughter at Canterbury Children's Centre. Since attending the nursery since September 2018, my daughter has learnt, grown and has become a more confident child. My daughter has made excellent progress with the help of her wonderful key workers, which I am extremely grateful for. All the staff are always friendly, helpful, attentive, caring individuals and will always greet you with a smile every time you walk through the door. The nursery is always lovely and clean. Canterbury Children's Centre has excellent outdoor facilities and provides a variety of resources for learning. All the children have daily activities in place to assist them with their learning, reading, writing skills and the key workers do encourage them to interact with other children at the same time. I would highly recommend the nursery to parents who are now looking for a nursery place for their children."
