“My daughter only started about a month ago and has always struggled to slot in or trust her teachers/peers. We have had no issues what so ever with her fitting in and she has taken to Rushton Road Kindy so well, it shocked me. She absolutely loves it and so do I. Highly recommend the play area and the staff.”
