Day Nurseries Owned by Little People Nurseries

I applied for full time place for my 3 year old son. I should have known this nursery was too good to be true. I, my partner and my son were treated unfairly. They made allegations that my son had behavioural problems after one month of him being there, but did not display which issues my son had. They also made fake allegations that my son was poorly just so they could send him home due to the nursery being unstaffed and only having 2 staff to 16 children between 3pm and 6pm. The nursery manager spoke to me and my partner in a very condescending tone with a horrible attitude. I was threatened that if I did not contact a speech and language therapist that they would remove my son. My son was at another nursery for one year prior to changing to Little People and never once displayed behavioural issues or any problems. I would advise you do not pay to send your child here. Do not waste your money as they will treat you unfairly and make up allegations against your child.

It is a warm, multicultural and friendly environment where staff make every effort to ensure that every child, especially the more sensitive ones, feels safe and loved. As a parent of a child with anxiety, I can wholeheartedly say that my daughter is not only having a great time, but also feeling at ease, which is a huge relief. The dedicated staff and management team regularly check that children are happy and comfortable. The manager is lovely and always helpful. I highly recommend this nursery to working parents who need a supportive and caring environment for their children.

We have used a number of various childcare professionals/establishments over the past 4 years, including some that have Ofsted ratings of 'outstanding' but they do not come close to the dedicated, friendly, caring and compassionate staff at Little People in Alwoodley. The staff team and manager really make this nursery the best we have used. They adapt to our child's needs and our parental wishes without batting an eyelid. They are always approachable and friendly, and our two children love attending. I have always felt confident that the staff are looking after my children well and in the same way that I would. They spend a lot of time outdoors whenever possible, which the kids just love. Despite all the fun, the nursery somehow fit in lots of learning activities and fully prepare the children for starting school. The only reason we are leaving the nursery is due to our eldest starting school in another area. I can't recommend this nursery enough.

We have been really pleased with the provision at Little People. The staff are extremely caring and very consistent and there is a wide variety of activities provided every week. Our daughter has been very happy to go and there are clear expectations from staff in terms of behaviour and self-care which is excellent. The online learning journal is also a great communication tool that is updated regularly.

My daughter started to attend nursery 1 year ago (school room). The staff is excellent and caring! They all help to settle in and then care for your child. Different activities each day and a friendly, family atmosphere. My daughter can't wait for the weekends to end to start her week at nursery.

Absolutely amazing staff couldn't have chosen a better setting for my girls. They loved every single day there and would go back if they could! The staff were super helpful and always so attentive! Any concerns I had were addressed straight away and would always give me confidence! Would highly recommend.

The staff are kind and friendly. They have helped our daughter settle into the nursery and although she still gets upset at drop off we feel re-assured that she settles quickly and she enjoys her time at nursery which she tells us as well as the staff feeding back. The staff have been helpful with managing her skin condition and are responsive if she is unwell. There has been quite a lot of staff change which is a shame and means that she has changed key worker but this is often unavoidable.

Overall, I feel that its a perfect place for my children. The caretakers really take good care of them. My Children feel at home and I am satisfied with the nursery. The nursery makes me feel comfortable at work giving the confidence that my children are well-taken care off.

After moving my son from a previous nursery due to lack of care, I am truly beyond words at how amazing the staff and management team are at Alwoodley nursery! My little boy has come on in leaps and bounds and the staff always have times for any concerns and feedback! I always feel welcome and feel the warmth as soon as I enter nursery! The food is also freshly cooked and my little boy always has seconds of everything! The manager is so comforting and reassuring and bends over backwards for all parents she always welcomes us in and will stop everything she's doing if we need to talk to her. The staff are all fully trained to handle my little boy who has epilepsy which really puts my mind at ease when I have to leave him and go to work! I look forwards to the rest of my little boy's journey at little people's!

Friendly staff, have bonded with my child really well, she has built in confidence and is very happy attending nursery, the activities that the children do are great. The staff work hard and are happy, any problems they are always happy to discuss them. The review at the end of the day is good. The outdoor area is full of great toys to build imagination, my child always points to them on the way out. My daughter attended from 10 months, and she has developed so much during her time here. She loves it when they all sing songs.

My son loves it at Alwoodley nursery. Staff are very caring and understanding in overall circumstances.

I wish the nursery opened at 7am to cover for those parents that start work at 8am. Closing time is absolutely perfect.

I am recommending this nursery to everybody. I am so glad that I put my girls to this nursery and I would not change anything. It is a shame that they could not say at the school all their school life.

Very friendly staff who get to know the children really well. Good range of activities on offer on a daily basis as well as for special events. Good communication on a daily basis as well as through the tapestry website which has updates and photos available.

Great team great nursery! My daughter loves all the stuff. Thank you. Xmas party was nice every time my daughter comes home, she knows new things. She is always happy and excited going to nursery. Sometimes she has her off days, but not often.

Really pleased I chose this nursery for her and looking forward to her moving to the final room in the summer.

My daughter has been in this nursery since she was 10 months old. She is now in the school room and has loved every single day of nursery and continues to do so!

We have never had any problems whatsoever and we are so proud of how well she has come along which is a brilliant reflection of the nursery and the amazing practitioners.

What a friendly nursery. The staff know my children inside out and they also take the time to build relationships with parents. My children are really happy and always have things to share with me. Their online profile allows me to see photos and videos of what they have been busy doing. 5-star.

My son attends nursery here and has done since he was 9 months. Each room has been fantastic as he's moved through each stage of his development. Having to leave your child to go back to work is not the best situation to be in but I couldn't be more confident that he is getting the best care. Each week he amazes me with the new things he has learnt from the care givers and his peers. I especially like the app profile that we can view from home of what he has been getting up to. Although sometimes it can be a few months before we get a few updates at once.

The staff at Little people are great. They all put in such hard work to ensure the children are cared for but also helping them develop all the essential skills they need. I have never felt any doubt about leaving my child at the nursery whilst I have had to work.

My children both love this nursery. The staff are all lovely and truly care about the welfare of the children. When I collect my little ones, I am always told in detail what they have been up to and it's really reassuring to know they are in safe hands. The staff are always thinking of new activities to do with them to develop new skills and my children can't wait tell me about about what they have done each day. My children's confidence has grown considerably since attending and if they are happy then I am happy. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family.
