### null review (5/5)

If you're worried about sending your wee one to preschool you will feel at ease sending them to Grow Active Essex St. All of the staff are so lovely and helpful. Our wee one has thrived being there. She has some eating and sensory issues and the staff have helped encourage her beautifully to try new things, and put up photos so we can see her progress. When you have to work, it's a comforting feeling knowing they're safe and happy where you leave them.

We all love this place.
We started our soon to be 2 year old daughter here a year ago. She has loved it so much we put her in 5 days a week from 3 days as we found the days she was home she would want to be here instead.
The teachers take wonderful care of her needs, she is well looked after and safe and she knows it.
She is always smiley picking her up and dropping her off and she views the staff as part of her family.
We sent her older brother to a private school preschool and this place has been superior.
10 out of 10 recommend. The staff here should be proud of themselves

100% reccoment this amazing place. I was not comfortable putting her in daycare until I came across this centre. The staff became like family to our daughter and she was so happy here. I noticed all the advantages of having her at Grow. If this centre was still close to us we would still be here. We miss is here and if in the future work brings me close to this centre again, I would put my children here 100%. Teachers are amazing♥️
