Day Nurseries Owned by Safari Childcare Ltd in Essex

My son has been at Little Legs for nearly a year now and has come in amazingly. His speech has improved massively and he is much more sociable. Staff are great at updating you about their day at pick up and they all know every child. They’ve always been accommodating when we need an extra day here and there too. The outdoor space is great, my son loves it.

We have a new baby who will be joining my oldest at the nursery in the coming months and I have absolutely no concerns that he will fit in brilliantly and will be well looked after and cared for.

Moved to Brentwood in February 2023 and Little Legs had space for my gorgeous little guy. Going back to work I was worried sending him somewhere but oh my god they have made me feel so at ease and he has come on so much. I was worried he was a bit behind but now he’s a thriving almost 2 year old who is non stop chatting and loves going to nursery. A big shout out to the ladies who looked after him in the baby class - it’s a home from home, thank you!

I 100% recommended it.

My little girl has been attending this nursery since she was fifteen months. She is in the toddler room now and the staff are absolutely fantastic. My little girl talks about them all the time at home. They are so friendly and look after the children really well. It is a nice homely nursery with great outside space including a huge garden.

My baby has been going here since she turned one years old and absolutely loves it. The staff are so friendly and fill the days with so many fun activities.

The garden was a big positive for us choosing this nursery it's absolutely huge with great facilities.

My son has been very unsettled and the staff have been very supportive with me and my son. The members of staff are always very friendly and helpful.

I think Little Legs Nursery Hutton is a truly fantastic nursery for any child to attend. The staff are so patient and loving towards all of the children that attend Little Legs Nursery Hutton. They make sure each child is given attention and looked after equally. It really is like a second home for the children and they get just as much care here as they would when at home. I recently attended the Easter Parade and I can honestly say I had the best day as did every other parent that I spoke to. It was really nice to be able to meet the management and all the staff. They all worked so hard to make the event fun for the children and it was a joy to watch them perform on the patio. I'm so grateful for everything they do at this nursery and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nursery for their child.

I would not recommend this nursery to anyone. My daughter (16 months) attended the nursery for 3 months. She was left unsupervised with another child whilst the other child hit her on the head three times. The failure of the nursery to handle the incident was shocking and disgusting. As a result, she no longer attends the nursery and the incident was reported to Ofsted immediately. The inadequate Ofsted rating the nursery got in February is completely accurate and I would not recommend this setting to any parent.

Another massive pro to Little Legs is the garden, it is by far the largest and most homely out of all the nurseries I have viewed in the past, and the children just absolutely love it. Come rain or shine; the nursery will make sure the children get fresh air daily.

The nursery has a home from home feel, which I think is lovely for the children. My son has been very happy here, as have I with the care he has received. Thank you to all the staff at Little Legs.

My daughter has been at Little Legs in Hutton since she was one and she is now five. The warm, caring staff have made her time there simply wonderful. The team has worked so hard and the amazing time she has had in the nursery and garden will stay with her. You could not ask for a better start for your child. I am so grateful I found Little Legs - Thank you so very much.

Our little one has been going to Little Legs, Hutton for 12 months now and he loves it. He has a real bond with his key worker and his physical and mental development have been progressing really well. Access to the amazing garden at the back of the nursery has sparked his curiosity outdoors. We trust all the carers and staff at the nursery and we feel comfortable he is in the best possible hands while we are at work. We also love that we can log into the CCTV to check in on him during the day.

My daughter starting nursery was very emotional and hard for me but wow, this nursery is incredible. Great staff who really care about my daughter. You can see how genuinely happy she is to see everybody. She has a great bond with not only the staff but has a few other babies (she’s 11 months old) that she is really close to. She smiles when she sees the other children. Watching the cameras, I see the amount of attention and love that goes into looking after my daughter. The conversations they have and encouraging her development/skills. Truly a great nursery that I couldn’t recommend enough.

My little boy has been attending nursery since he was 11 months and he has really blossomed here. The staff are extremely caring - it really is like a home away from home.

Both of my children have blossomed under the care of the fantastic staff at Little Legs, developing communication skills, the ability to share, play imaginatively, table manners, basic literacy, numeracy skills. They also have had the chance to explore the lovely garden, participate in forest school and explore all sorts of messy play and crafts. I love how busy they are all day and how many things they get up to! In addition, Little Legs do a wonderful job in preparing their little charges for school adventures. We will be incredibly sad to leave our Little Legs days behind this summer when my son starts school!

I would highly recommend Little Legs. I pulled my little girl out of another nursery when she was 18 months having persevered expecting her to eventually find her place and be happy. I eventually moved her to Little Legs and within two weeks she was so much happier and has continued to thrive. The nursery assistants are diligent, helpful, loving and most importantly they love our children like their own. I sometimes struggle to pull my little girl away from there; she tends to want to stay longer, which is a very good sign of a happy content child! I recently asked if during my daughters time at the nursery they could concentrate specifically on writing her name and within a day my daughter was writing her name, which I'd been struggling with teaching her for weeks!!! The nursery staff are adaptable and willing to take on any comments and add to their teaching plan if there is anything specific required by a parent.

I love Little Legs, and most importantly so does my little girl.

My daughter has been attending Little Legs since she was 1 year old. She is now 3 and she loves it. The settling in went very smoothly and my daughter was happy from the start.

The best part of the nursery is the staff. Everybody involved with the children is so very involved and genuinely cares about them. At the same time, I find them highly professional and they have an eye for the developmental goals of the children. I think the staff that works there are happy. Generally, when you have a happy staff, you get good care.

They do have an IT system called tapestry where they place updates on of your children and you can check it out. There's also a webcam on but only accessible for parents.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. It has been a great and happy experience for our entire family and I feel it really prepares my daughter for primary school.

My now 2 year old son started at Little Legs when he was 13 months old. He had a few settling in sessions and then went on to go for four full days a week. He settled in immediately and took to it like a duck to water. I put this down to the staff being so lovely and great with him. I chose this nursery as it was the only one that felt right when I walked in (and it has a fantastic garden). My son has been happy here since he started and my second son is due to start next year too. I am certain he will be just as happy. My 2 year old’s development has come on in leaps and bounds, with his vocabulary really improving within the last few months. He has some great friends at nursery so being there is definitely helping his social skills. Thank you Little Legs.

My son has been at Little Legs Hutton since February 2018. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming and made his transition to nursery very easy - he runs in every morning full of smiles ready to say goodbye to me! All his meals are freshly made each day and the variety of foods is excellent. The garden is very large and weather permitting he’s outside playing everyday. He has developed so much in the time he’s been there and the daily reports of what he’s been up to reassure me that he’s in very good hands! I would happily recommend this nursery!
