Day Nurseries Owned by Little Delwood Ltd

for the children to really explore and thrive. It's clear to see the bonds between staff and children throughout the setting. They somehow remember every child's family members, pet names, favourite toys and upcoming life events / trips.
As a family we've been so incredibly impressed with Little Delwood. They've been such a beautiful and influential part of my son's early years, I cannot imagine my son staring school this September without the care and skill they've poured into him during his time here.

I'd really struggle to send our children anywhere else after they've been at this pre school, prior to moving house it was without a doubt worth the 30min commute each way. The children do so much and are often out for walks in the community, trips to the library etc. As soon as we visited the atmosphere was calm, happy children, the way the staff treat and speak to the children we all felt at complete ease. Communication is also excellent with lots of updates and photos of their day which is always lovely to see how happy they are and what they are up to. We are very grateful our children have been able to go to such a wonderful pre-school.

everyday twice a day! The staff are so friendly and trustworthy. They give you a handover at the door which is personal to your child and they know your children, what they like, their funny habits. We took our children from an ofsted outstanding setting, where my daughter cried every drop off for years, to little Delwood. My daughter came out of her shell, happily ran inside and loved her teachers. The activities, the love, the peace of mind are unmatched by other settings. I honestly could write pages on why this place is so wonderful. My standards are sky high, my son has allergies, health conditions. LDK provide top level care where the kids have such fun! You get so many photos. 10/10

Free play is constant & varied but there is also so many more structured activities for the children to take part in giving them a truly enriching experience. My little boy comes out happy and the staff are so lovely with him. We get regular updates from daycare via the family ap, with his progress and any milestones reached as well as day to day goings on. Someone is always quick to reply with any queries you may have too. Thank you!

now and has flourished in this time. She loves their weekly outings, trips and all the different visitors that come in. Little Delwoods really do aim to give the children as many experiences as they can, broadening the children's understanding of the world. We are so pleased we found such a caring community.

and attention my boy received. For my daughter who is not as confident as her brother and is delayed in speech, this was the best choice ever. The extra time they dedicate to help with her development has helped her in so many ways. Every member of the team is warm and friendly and both my children have loved them all and their days spent there.

with her peers and how much she loves her time there is priceless.

and the garden, they also get to go for lots of walks in the woods exploring and even to the coffee shop and library.
Can't recommend Little Delwood enough and all that they do.

committed, professional staff as Little Delwood. They are so experienced and seem to genuinely love thinking up exciting new experiences to engage the children. Which leads to...
2. Day-to-day activities and experiences. I didn't quite believe the manager when I visited and she said the children went on trips out practically every day, turns out that's exactly what happens! Whether it's the woods, the park, the library, local shops and cafes or just a walk around the block looking for autumn leaves, I absolutely love how much they get out and about. It feels like a perfect balance between an outdoor setting/forest school and also having somewhere warm and dry to retreat to. 10/10

He also does Spanish on Wednesdays which he really enjoys, and it’s great that the nursery can offer these classes.
They do loads of other activities such as baking, painting, games and many other things to keep the children interested. The staff set up a different theme each week and have activities based around the theme which is great!
The staff always give informative updates at the end of the day, so we are kept fully up to date with what they’ve been doing during the day. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. Both myself and my son will be very sad when he has to leave to start school in September!

sides.
•Learning: The staff seems to be proactive. I was asked if there was anything I had in mind that I thought the nursery should be covering. I felt I was listened to, but I have to say, my child seems to come home full of excitement and looks forward to talking about what she did that day. Learning through play seems to be the policy. There is a wood nearby, so the children are exposed to the changing seasons. Spanish lesson on a Wednesday is the highlight of the week. Hola!
• Food/Nutrition: The children bring their own lunchboxes. This suits us fine. We are vegan and gluten-free. Snacks are provided. The staff have bent over backwards to accommodate us, even in the baking sessons.
•Great Work!

looking for a setting which has an outdoor experience but also has clean/inspiring indoor space, this is perfect. I selected them since my little one was two years old when he still need his nap (I prefer him to properly lie down instead of in a pushchair outside), but I also wanted him to explore the outside. This setting provides the best of both worlds.

Staff are the best you can ever imagine. They take time to listen to problems that we encounter with our little one and we work together at home and in kindergarten to address the issue as a team.

Very accommodating and always friendly. My little one loves it, my other half and I love it! Best in Chandler's Ford!!

Delwood Nursery, keep the amazing work going!

use of the paved area out the front and the green at the back of the building too. The staff all know her (and all her quirks) - she is very much an individual rather than ‘one of many’. I can always tell what she’s been up to as there are lots of lovely photos on the Famly app (and usually paint in her hair!). There is such a lovely feel about the setting and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending it.

with the children.
The activities are creative, the use of imagination and exploration when taking walks to the woods and including fairies for example is just lovely.
My family and I will have lasting memories from Little Delwood; both in the lovely keepsakes that come home, and the relationships we’ve built there.

up when she knows it's a Little Delwood day. The Famly app is a great feature enabling us to see what she has been up to at nursery and it's lovely to see her with her peers and teachers. I would definitely recommend Little Delwoods to anyone looking for an outstanding place for their little ones.

and do so many fun activities such as baking and taking lots of walks in the local area. They also do a fantastic job in helping the children gain independence skills in readiness for school.

speech, how he communicates with us and views the world. He literally skips into Little Delwood for his two days a week and always comes home happy and eager to tell us about his day. I feel that the staff at Little Delwood all have a unique set of skills and bring something very special to the setting. They seem to complement each other well and they create a lovely atmosphere filled with positivity and fun for the children. The updates we receive via the Famly app are always interesting and lovely to read, giving great examples of the experiences of the day. I am so happy with our son’s pre school journey at Little Delwood and would whole heartedly recommend this setting as an outstanding place for little ones.
