Review of Little Learners Childcare (N.E.) Ltd from Joey C (Mother of Child) published on 11 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My two kids went to Little Learners. My daughter finished in July 2025 and is now in big school. My kids loved the nursery and I loved it. As a parent it is truly hard handing your child over to others to take care of. You think who is going to keep them safe, make them feel loved when we are not there, give them cuddles, truly care about them tell them stories, love them. Little Learners did all of that for my kids. They took all that stress away because I knew they were well looked after and loved at Little Learners, Lovaine Place. My daughter who left July 2025, absolutely loves all the staff that work there while she was there for almost 3 years. This little nursery was truly a blessing to me and my family and we always highly recommend it to everyone who ask. It is not just a nursery, it is a home away from home.

Overall Experience

My son started attending little learners in 2022 when he turned one. I was so nervous about leaving him when I went back to work, but I didn't need to be. He settled in easily. The staff looked after him so well and played such a huge and valuable part to his development. We were kept up to date with his progress regularly and daily hand overs about how his day had been etc. He left in august this year and he has settled into school. However, he often mentions his time at nursery and key workers and misses them. We will always value the time he had at little learners.

I'm blown away by how much my little one has settled and grown since starting at Little Learners and in such a short time. The staff are so accommodating, not only for the child but for parents as well. I would/have been recommending Little Learners to other parents.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at this nursery for nearly a year now and she absolutely loves it. She was very nervous and upset about attending nursery at first, but the staff were very supportive and encouraging and she quickly formed a great bond with all the staff and other children. The staff are all lovely and have really helped my child to grow and explore new things and I am always kept well informed about her daily activities. The nursery itself is very welcoming and cosy, with lots of activities. She also enjoys all the meals she has there which are very varied and balanced. Would 100% recommend Little Learners!

Overall Experience

We are so pleased we chose this nursery for our son. He started just a few weeks before his first birthday and we were very nervous leaving him in a new setting. The team were so caring and were happy to keep us up to date with how he was doing. The size of the nursery works really well for us, as our son gets a bit overwhelmed in larger busier places. The food seems to be a big hit, and he's made a great bond with his lovely key worker.

My daughter started in September and she absolutely loves it! All the staff are wonderful, really friendly and caring. They do so many activities throughout the day, my daughter is always full of smiles after her days at nursery and has already come on leaps and bounds. My daughter loves the varied meals provided, often demolishing things she would normally refuse at home!

My daughter absolutely loved Little Learners, the staff are amazing; so warm and caring and the care is excellent! She learned so much and made so much progress in all areas of her development. As a parent, I was always kept up to date and well informed about how my daughter was doing and there were regular reviews of her progress. I always felt so comfortable dropping my daughter off as she was made to feel so welcome and loved by the Little Learners family!

Overall Experience

My son settled into nursery as soon as he started in June 2022 aged 18 months and loved going. The staff were all amazing with him and really welcoming and friendly. Drop off was always a personal lovely handover and pick up you always got lots of feedback from the day. My son used to skip into the nursery and made friends who he still talks about since leaving in July 2024. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

Review of Little Learners Childcare (N.E.) Ltd from J M (Mother of Child) published on 18 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter really struggled to settle at her old nursery setting, so it was such a relief to find Little Learners and to see her settle and come out of her shell. The staff truly cared for our daughter and really focused on her needs. They also were great about incorporating what was going on in our family life with activities and conversations at nursery too. For example, I went back to work and my daughter came home with a book about mummies going to work. We got guinea pigs and she came home with foraged flowers for them. The staff always went above and beyond. The nursery itself is small, but I feel this meant more care and attention is able to be provided to the children. Kids are not at risk of being overlooked. I highly recommend this lovely little nursery. We are certainly glad our daughter was able to attend and to have been taught by such wonderful, kind staff.

Overall Experience

I could not recommend Little Learners enough. My child attended from 1 year old till leaving recently for reception. The staff are amazing, very friendly, caring and attentive. At the end of the day, they provide you with a full breakdown of how the child has been, what activities they have been up to and what food they have consumed. Also regular parent meetings throughout the year to keep track of the child's personal development and provide parents opportunities to discuss any key areas of focus. They have a lovely onsite cook who prepares all the children's meals and the kitchen is separate from the playrooms. They have a great outdoor space which consists of a big open grass area and a turf area so they can play on bikes/ scooters etc. They always make the most of this space no matter the time of year and provide appropriate clothing to accommodate rainy days. My child was so comfortable at this nursery asking every day to go which made the transition as a parent so much easier.

Review of Little Learners Childcare (N.E.) Ltd from Liam G (Father of Child) published on 5 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has loved his time at Little Learners. The staff all work really hard and they should be commended for their work ethic, patience, and understanding. He went from a shy little boy to an outgoing young man, and the communication from his carers was excellent. They nurtured his own interests so well and also helped him discover lots of new things to learn and talk about. They were also great at keeping his passion for books going. He was excited every day he got to go, and we also love the sense of community we feel having the nursery so close to home, and now so close to his new Primary School. It takes a village to raise a child, and I can't thank Little Learners enough for helping us create that for our son.

Our son loves going to Little Learners, he asks every week when he can go back. The staff is really great: friendly, caring and gives updates on little one's learning journey at every pick-up. I particularly like that learning and activities are child-led and they seem to do a lot of reading, playing outside and crafting or painting. There are also nice seasonal activities going on. Can highly recommend it!

We have nothing but good things to say for Little Learners. My little one was so happy to go there every morning and the practitioners gave him time to adjust, always being gentle and respectful of the children. I can't recommend this nursery highly enough.

If I could give more stars, I would. Little Learners is a fantastic nursery that my son loved coming to. They were amazing with his additional needs and gave him the support he needed to thrive. I couldn’t be more thankful and happy for his experience.

My little boy started the nursery in April 2023 when he was 9 months old. The progress he has made in such a short time is amazing. He absolutely loves attending. The staff are outstanding at what they do as well as the communication to make sure I feel completely relaxed when he is in their care. The opportunities for development, learning and growth are brilliant due to the efforts of the staff and facilities available. I couldn't recommend the nursery enough to anyone looking for childcare, particularly from a young age.

Overall Experience

My child started in this nursery in April 2023 and it has been fantastic. From my first visit, I felt like the staff have very good relationships with all the children. I witnessed the manager personally address many of the kids and know current information about all of them. My child has taken to the nursery and staff really well. The food menus each week are very varied, and good quality food is made fresh on-site. The facilities on site are well maintained. The nursery has a great outdoor space with both paved and grass areas. My child has learned a lot in a short period of time.

Overall Experience
I have two children who currently attend Little Learners Childcare (4 and 2) and they both love it! The staff are really friendly, very attentive to their needs, patient and always have lots of feedback to give us about what the kids have been up to, how they have been, any concerns etc. Both kids have come on really well in their interactions, speech, play, social skills etc since they have been attending.
The inside and outside areas are full of toys and activities and tools to help them develop and play with things they are interested in.
Staff always share development plans and are on hand to offer signposting or ideas if needed.

It is a great place for my kids, the oldest will be sad when he leaves at the end of this term! We'll look forward to another couple of years with Little Learners with the youngest
