Bit pricey but no more so than other city-centre nurseries (you do pay for the location). Staff are fantastic with children and they make sure they get out and about in spite of the location.

From the outside Poppins looks pretty plain, but this nursery is a gem, the staff are warm, loving and attentive. They offer a good range of activities to set the children up for school.

It's medium in size and you can pretty much see the ins and outs of the main play area from the dining area so you can mostly keep an eye on what the kids are up to.

I must admit I find these places a bit torturous but I wasn't here because I was bad in a previous…read morelife I was here for my friends wee ones birthday party. The party was very well ran and really well organised the whole operation was very slick and they do a decent cup of coffee too and they didn't look at me like I was a weirdo when I asked for decaff - huzzah! I didn't eat anything but the food I saw looked really nice. They also did crafts with the children to break up the party a bit, it would have been nice if a member of staff had lead this session rather than just dumping teh stuff and leaving teh parents and kids to it. The place was really clean and the loo's were spotless, very important to note this when toddlers are using the loo too! Also it was busy but there wasn't the usual wall of noise that just beats you down and makes you weary and gives you a tension headache, the noise was well absorbed because its a long building with a low roof.

I genuinely feel this is the best nursery the area has to offer, after having experienced 2 others locally also. My son was made welcome despite having joined late in the year, and made friends with whom he is close to this day. The building is beautiful, the car park is very organised, making it optimally safe for the children as they are dropped off/collected. The gardens to the rear are extensive, and have a wonderful wooden climbing frame, with a cargo net on the slope which the children can enjoy exploring. There is also an infant care facility which I didn't have experience with, but by all accounts it seems very proficient. The management are very accommodating and organised. I really can't recommend this nursery enough. My son was only there for a short time but had a wonderful bond with his main teacher, Miss Amanda R, who was very lovely, (as were the rest of the ladies.)
