My son has been attending DMW fulltime for the past 2 years, he started when he was 5 months old and my 7 month old daughter is just about to start. The staff are amazing, so caring, fun, friendly and experienced. They keep me updated not only on my sons daily activities but also his progression overall and how he is going with goals that have been set. The centre is amazing, clean and hygienic and the activities that are on offer for the children of all ages is fantastic (this has included zoom classes for music and dancing etc whilst the current lockdown is in place and third parties cannot attend

I cannot express enough how happy i am with DMW and the team. They always go above and beyond to make my child feel welcome to the center when she arrives, i am sent great updates through out the day to see what she is doing and every aspect of play always has a learning skill behind it and she is always given a great goodbye when i pick her up. The management and team have great communication skills and they always have time for any questions i ask and i can always see how well they care for all the children. The center is always clean, updated with new things for the kids and it always has
