About ILD “Love this – such a great way to learn about what they’re doing and allows me to have a conversation and share with her.” (Parent, May 2019)

“What makes Fallodon stand out from other nurseries I have visited is the fact it wasn’t set up as a commercial money-making enterprise.   It was set up by people who felt passionately about their work….I like the fact all the staff clearly love their work and are still engaged and enthusiastic even after all these years.  Fallodon provides a warm, small, family atmosphere which isn’t replicated in other nurseries.”  (Parent, July 2021)
