Since my child started nursery, I have seen such a wonderful improvement in her learning and development. She has gained so many new skills in a short amount of time, from better communication to increased confidence in social situations.
The staff have played a huge role in this progress. They are
caring, attentive, and truly dedicated to supporting each child's individual needs. I couldn't be happier with the nursery and the impact it has had on my child's growth and happiness.

Our son started Blue Ryder end of January. We are first time parents so starting nursery was a big transition for him and for us. We instantly felt that the staff are genuinely very caring towards him. His two key workers are wonderful and he formed an immediate attachment with them. He was fussy with
his diet prior to starting but now eats a fantastic range of food and is very food orientated. We love seeing the updates on the app as it gives us peace of mind seeing how much he has slept, ate, drank and had nappy changes. The photos and videos have made it easier returning to work after mat leave and knowing that he is having fun. The administrator is very responsive. The staff are always open and transparent when he's had any challenges or a bad day. We have noticed lots of positive changes with his development and communication. It was important for us to chose a nursery that is multicultural and that supports diversity. As same sex parents we have found the nursery inclusive.

What can I say! What a gorgeous nursery. They run it as though each and every child is part of the Little Faces family. It doesn't feel like a business at all, it feels like a home away from home for my little one. I'm so happy my little one goes here. She's taken such good care of, she eats such healthy,
nutritional meals and her days are always packed full of fun learning and activities. I can't praise this nursery enough.

Our daughter started nursery just before her 1st birthday and absolutely loves it. The staff are friendly, warm and welcoming.
From the induction to transition of starting nursery the colleagues in the Puddleducks room have been fantastic. They get to know each child and really take an interest.
Miss
Anna, Miss Courtney and Miss Amelia have really developed our daughter's confidence and skills - there communication and handovers are really detailed. They really have made the first few months of our nursery journey great

Both of my children have gone to little faces from about 9 months old and have notched loved it there! The team are amazing, they genuinely care about each child. The activities have always been great- we've had tea parties for major events (coronation etc) and themed games like mini olympics. I recommend
little faces to anyone looking for childcare - you won't find anywhere better!

My child has attended the setting since 10 months old and has always been very happy there.
The team are so responsive and supportive. They've helped us navigate his dietary requirements and restrictions and are always positive and helpful around it.
He genuinely loves attending nursery and frequently
talks about his teachers and friends at home.
His development has always progressed ahead of my expectations. And I would recommend the nursery as a perfect place for any child to attend.
I would recommend

My son has been studying here for over two months. At first, he didn't like it; every morning when I told him to go to school, he would say, "I don't want to go." But now he really enjoys going to school. The teachers are very dedicated to the children. Thank you to the teachers and the school. I wish
the school continued success and brilliance.
Reply from Donna Courtenay, Nursery Manager at Barney Lodge Nursery SchoolThank you for your review, we are so happy that your son has become so confident with us.

We cannot fault Little Faces nursery. Our daughter has been attending since September '25 and honestly the confidence and social skills she has gained as a result of the team's care and range of activities is incredible. The room leaders, key person and team members take brilliant care of her and send
regular photo updates. We love how they encourage the children to grow friendships and play together too. The ease of the app and ability to contact the team is fab. They are all so lovely and approachable, and will go above and beyond to help where they can. The drop offs and pick ups are so easy too, you know that the team really care about her and give as much info as possible about her day. Our daughter is such a happy girl and we know she loves to go. We had been recommended Little Faces by a friend, their children attended years back from us, and we will also continue to recommend Little Faces too!!

My son has been attending this nursery for the past 18 months and has progressed through three different rooms during that time. The development we've seen in him since he started has been incredible, and he truly loves being there.
The staff are warm, friendly, and always approachable. They're happy
to answer any questions and consistently provide a wide range of fun and engaging activities for the children.
Although my son still finds drop-offs a little difficult at times, the team are always there to support him and help make the transition as smooth as possible. It's reassuring to see that this is gradually improving.
I especially appreciate the regular updates we receive about his day, along with photos. It gives me real peace of mind knowing that he's happy and well cared for while I'm at work. Fantastic experience so far, thank you!

My son started in September last year I was really nervous about him not settling in but fast forward to now he is absolutely thriving he goes in with a smile on his face and comes out smiling, the staff there are so lovely I can't thank them enough. His speech has improved so much because of them.

My son was extremely anxious when he started at little faces but the team reassured me and now he doesn't want to come home. The entire team are so friendly, welcoming and supportive. I think I'll probably cry with him when my little one leaves to go to school haha! I regularly recommend little faces

Absolutely fantastic nursery. Amazing in every way.
Old Crofts Bank was always our first choice for our little boy, ever since we first looked around. The facilities are brilliant (the garden is in a league of its own!), the staff are friendly, kind and caring and the whole vibe of the nursery just
feels 'safe'. Like when facilities claim to have a 'home from home' feel, Old Crofts Bank actually deliver it.

Fantastic nursery that I would highly recommend. The staff go above and beyond caring for the children, supporting their development and building their confidence. We moved to the area and viewed a number of nurseries and Old Crofts Bank just felt right. Both my children have attended and love going

Our daughter has been at this nursery for 15 months now and she loves it. We've felt so supported by the team throughout the different stages of her development (e.g. learning to eat meals/ potty training etc). Every room has a fantastic team who really get to know your child. The management team are
wonderful and very quick to respond to any questions. Highly recommend. Our daughter loves her nursery days and as parents we feel relaxed and happy that she is in such a safe and nurturing environment.

My little boy has recently moved into Bobtails room at Wragby Road and he is having an amazing time. Every morning he is eager to get into the room and go and play - sometimes not even looking back at me to say goodbye! All the staff working in there are wonderful at what they do and so good at keeping
me updated on how his day has been (A special mention to Miss Analise who posts lovely pictures almost every day of what he is getting up to!) thank you Bobtails!
