Little Oaks Nursery

from Joanne D (Aunt of Child) published on 20 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My niece has attended Little Oaks for the last year and during her time at nursery I have seen her flourish. She has always been a confident little girl but I have seen her development and socialisation skills are improving all the time since starting. I drop her off on a regularly basis and she is
always so happy to run through the door and see her friends and nursery teachers.
Such a wonderful nursery!

We are very happy with the nursery and the supportive environment the staff create for the children. Our daughter has really enjoyed her time here and looks forward to coming to school every day. It's lovely to see her learning early maths and language skills, while also being exposed to a range of
extracurricular activities such as yoga and gymnastics. We also appreciate how the nursery celebrates festivals and cultures from around the world, which helps broaden the children's understanding and curiosity. Overall, we've seen great growth in her confidence, learning, and social skills.
Reply from Monica Kumar, Nursery Manager at Little Oaks NurseryThank you so much for your kind words, we are glad she is enjoying all the activities she is engaged in.

We are very happy with the nursery. My son had delayed speech and we have seen great progress in his communication and confidence since joining. The staff are lovely caring and very supportive and they communicate with us effectively at all times. He enjoys coming in every day and feels safe happy and
well supported. Thank you for the excellent care and learning environment you provide.

I don't know where to start from. I can not praise this nursery enough in words. Starting from the nursery to the staff. Every single person is amazing. I did not ever imagine my daughter would settle so soon. When she started she would cry from home all the way there I thought there is no way this
is going to ever work. But after a week you would not believe it she walks in like she doesn't even know me. Not only that the manners she has learnt from her being confident. It's all like a dream for me. All i would like to if anyone is considering please go and look for yourself and you will know.

Little Oaks Nursery

from Komal S (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter and son have been attending Little Oaks Nursery since September 2025, and we have been incredibly pleased with our experience. The standard of care, the commitment of the staff, the excellent facilities, and the wide range of learning opportunities are all exceptional.
Both children truly
enjoy going to nursery and are clearly very happy there. They always look forward to the trips and activities that are organised. My daughter especially loved the pantomime in December, and both children were so excited before their visit to the local care home.
The staff are consistently attentive, warm, and friendly, and they provide detailed feedback about each day. The learning programme is well planned and effective, and I can see the positive impact it is having on their development. The food menu is balanced and nutritious.
I would highly recommend Little Oaks Nursery to any parent seeking a nurturing, engaging, and supportive day nursery environment!

Excellent set up, amazing friendly staff who have shown a nurturing and caring attitude towards my child which has had a positive impact on learning and growing into a very confident little person. Best bit is my child loves every day of nursery as the learning is tailored around their favourite things.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending the nursery for the past six months and has settled brilliantly into the environment. She has gained so much confidence since joining, which has been wonderful to see. The teachers are fantastic - warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children. It's been lovely
to watch how easily she has bonded with each member of staff.
I really appreciate the daily updates from the teachers about her day at nursery. It's reassuring to see what she has been doing, learning, and enjoying.
The nursery has access to beautiful outdoor areas around the school, and there's a strong emphasis on nature, which my daughter absolutely loves. They also offer a great range of extra-curricular activities that keep her engaged and excited to go in each day.
I'm really pleased with the care, support, and experiences the nursery provides. Highly recommended.

Little Oaks Nursery

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Where do I start?! Monica and the team at Little Oaks have put every other nursery we've been to, to shame. They are the kindest, warmest ladies with a genuine love and care for every child that comes through the door. My littlest started here in January and has come on leaps and bounds since joining,
from sitting unassisted, extended tummy time (which she hates doing at home!), has progressed really fast with weaning and eating more solid foods. We are constantly updated with our girl's progress throughout the week and the kinds of activities she has done, and when ever we have had any form of question or request, it has never taken longer than 20 minutes for a response from one of the team.


My only regret? Not sending my eldest here! Both my husband and I are so impressed with level of care and detail that has gone into this nursery, and we are excited to see our little girl continue to flourish!

Reply from Monica Kumar, Nursery Manager at Little Oaks NurseryThat's so nice of you to share such kind words for me and my team. Highly appreciate the encouragement.

Couldn't recommend little oaks any more!


Our daughter started at 9 months old and the progress she made under the care and support of Laura and the team has been amazing.


They're always keeping us dated, have excellent communication and keep the app up to date, which is something really important

to us. They also are incredibly supportive, flexible and understanding - which really helps.


We've been to 4 x different nurseries over time with our other daughter for a number of reasons, relocation, costs etc - but little oaks is the absolute stand out winner.

We moved our 2 year old from another setting in September last year. She was really not enjoying nursery at the previous setting and was constantly upset but since moving her to Little Oaks she has flourished. She's so happy going into nursery, her confidence has grown so much as well as her language
skills. She tells us about her day and tells us the things she has enjoyed doing. The facilities and range of activities are brilliant, with all different interests catered for.
All the staff work incredibly hard and are always so welcoming. They all care for the children which is very clear.
Overall we are very happy with our daughter's progress at Little Oaks.

We couldn't be happier with our decision to send our child to Little Oaks. The nursery has great facilities that we can't wait to see our child enjoy as well as the activities they organise. From the first few days the team made our daughter feel safe and welcome, they took the time to ask questions
about us all and our/her preferences. Laura and Kiran have fostered a wonderful bond with her and even though she was nervous to begin I could tell she felt comfortable which is all you can hope for. Laura and Kiran have always been brilliant with keeping us updated with how she is getting on. Jae has settled in so well and now happily waddles off each morning, which says everything we need to know. I love the photo updates on the app & seeing what she gets up to. The staff are warm, caring and genuinely invested in the children, and we love seeing how much she's learning and growing already. Thank you for creating such a nurturing and positive environment for our little one

We've had a wonderful experience with Little Oaks. Previously our child struggled at a different nursery but they adjusted to Little Oaks and there was no tears by day3! The ladies work really hard to make us feel secure by informing us of how our child is getting on and making tailored activities for
them so we know they are engaged.
Our child has also exhibited increased confidence since starting.
Reply from Monica Kumar, Nursery Manager at Little Oaks Nurserythank you so much for such kind words, we do follow children's interest in all our activities. We are so pleased that this approach has helped your child to settle better and gain confidence.

We moved our son to this nursery in November 2025 from another setting where he was very settled, so I was naturally nervous. The team made the transition incredibly smooth for us. He settled in straight away and is always happy to go in, speaking so positively about his day.
The environment is warm,
caring and nurturing, and he has truly thrived. The developmental progress we've seen in just a few months has been amazing and is a real credit to the staff and his key worker, who tailor activities around his interests.
The pre-school has developed into such a lovely well thought-out space, and access to the large outdoor area is a huge bonus. They balance fun with structure, helping to prepare my son for school. He especially enjoys activities like PE which have really helped build his confidence and independence. He's loved the trips out too, especially visits to a local care home to spend time with residents.
Overall, a genuinely positive experience and we would highly recommend.

As first time parents to a then 9 month old baby girl, me and my wife were nervous about taking the plunge in to child care for out little one. We stumbled across Little Oaks and arranged to have a visit. As soon as we were greeted and shown around the facilities we knew it was the one for us. Fast
forward 2 months and we could not be happier with the phenomenal care our baby receives. She has come on leaps and bounds, learned a host of knew skills and grown in confidence so much. We adore the staff and the bonds that our little one has developed with the team are truly heartwarming. I honestly could not recommend Little Oaks enough, they truly are exemplary. 5 stars!

My daughter goes to nursery here and she absolutely loves it, she's off the minute she is through the door and eager to be there and go and play.

again she is so happy here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When searching for nurseries, we were very specific about the care we wanted our daughter to have. With starting nursery at 6 months, we wanted to ensure she got the right attention, care and support for her age, and Little Oaks had exceeded all those expectations.
Since joining, we have seen such
incredible growth in our daughter, physically and emotionally, a lot of which we put down to the care she has received, with her key worker coming up with specific activities to aid her development.
The nursery has also been great at supporting us through our weaning journey, and we have seen significant changes in our daughter's interests in food recently, with her eating a wide range of foods.
Lastly, the staff, her key workers, & nursery manager have been amazing. They all treat her with so much care. My daughter is so smiley and happy whenever we drop her off and have no concerns that she is well looked after by them all. She truly has formed a great bond with them all!

I couldn't be more over the moon with how my child has settled at Little Oaks. The staff have been wonderful in helping him settle in and really grow and develop.


You can tell there is a strong understanding of key factors in helping them develop, his cognition has greatly improved aiding his speech

and overall understanding.


Not only that, they have been on numerous trips which is fantastic for toddlers to get out in the world and see other people, especially going to see a Christmas pantomime!


The staff are all wonderful and so helpful, especially if we have any questions or needs that need to be met.


Moving him here was one of the best decisions we've made!

We moved our little boy (2.5 year old) to this nursery in September 2025 and right from the start we knew it was the best thing we could have done. From day 1 the nursery staff were brilliant. They were so caring and welcoming, took the time to get to know our little boy, and they went above and beyond
to help settle him. From setting up activity stations tailored to his interests, to taking him for a walk across the grounds to see the ducks, the care and individual attention has been great. We're very impressed by the effort and activities they do with him each day, and he comes out every day saying 'I love it there'! Our boy has formed a great bond with his key worker which makes it easier to leave him and makes us trust that he's being well cared for - thank you! Overall we're really impressed and relieved to have found somewhere that we love. Thank you to all the staff who have helped our boy settle, it makes such a difference to feel like he's genuinely cared for.
