WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Alice Todd

My little girl had a great time at Freda’s, she was there from 18months till the age of 4 she absolutely loved it!, all the staff are really friendly and great with the kids. I love that the staff are really helpful to the parents, not just the kids, I’ve often asked for advice on how to deal with certain things to do with my child. They are 100 percent supportive. The fun the the kids have here is brilliant. My little girls came home with lots of arts and crafts. And she always came home with a big smile on her face. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Freda's is a wonderful setting with friendly, caring and supportive staff. All of my children have thoroughly enjoyed their time here and loved all of the various activities that they are provided with. I couldn't recommend Freda's enough for an early years setting.

Hayley Holdsworth

Highly recommend this lovely nursery. My daughter first joined in September 2022 and has come such a long way since. Her confidence has surged, her social skills and independence too. She has greatly benefited from her time at Freda's, enjoying various trips out and time in various play settings with the nursery. We are very sad to be finishing our daughter's time at Freda's and would like to thank all the staff for their brilliant job caring for her. Out little boy is excited to join in September. Thank-you to all the Freda's team.
