Review from Hansa B (Mother of Child) published on 19 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We first enrolled our daughter when she was 9 months old, and she is now one year old. At the beginning, we were quite worried about how she would settle in.
However, the staff have been wonderful and very supportive.
The teachers are absolutely amazing. Sarah, Gabi, and Polly have been especially kind and caring, and they have given us a lot of confidence as parents. Thanks to them, my daughter is now very happy and enjoys her time at the nursery.
The management team, Leanne and Anita, are also excellent and run the nursery with incredible dedication.
I've also noticed that in the Baby Daffodil room, they regularly change the environment and activities. This helps the babies explore new things and feel comfortable, rather than being in the same setting all the time.
Overall, we are very happy with the nursery and would highly recommend it.

Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Prisha- we truly appreciate all that you do.

Reply from Leanne Berryman, Manager at The Little Academy Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback and recommendation. We are delighted to hear that Prisha has settled so happily into nursery life and is enjoying her time in our Daffodil Room. Your kind words about our team mean so much, and we will be sure to share them with them. It is a pleasure to watch Prisha grow and develop, and we truly appreciate your trust and support.

Overall Experience

We're really happy with Little Academy Nursery. Our second son is currently attending, and it's been a wonderful experience for him.

The environment is very nurturing, and it's clear that the staff genuinely care about the children. He looks forward to going every day, which says a lot in itself. The team is warm, friendly, and always approachable, which gives us great peace of mind as parents.

It's lovely to see how comfortable and happy he is there. We would definitely recommend Little Academy Nursery to other parents.

Review from Carlie L (Mother of Child) published on 7 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been with Little Academy since he was a year old and has settled into nursery life very well. At drop off and pick up, walking through the nursery any staff member we meet says hello to my son and calls him by name which I think is lovely and welcoming. My son loves all the activities and playing in the garden. I feel I am kept up to date about what he gets up to through the app and at pick up. He is a fussy eater and the toddler room are really supporting him trying new things and offering different textures for him to explore. All staff are friendly and very approachable. The theme days and extra activities are really well organised and thought out. For example recently Mother's Day stay and play, chicks hatching in reception and an Easter party for everyone to attend. I'm really grateful to everyone at little academy for making my son so welcome and putting my mind at ease. Dropping him off knowing he's going to have a fun day is so reassuring.

Review from Amanda K (Mother of Child) published on 10 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son is now 3 and has been attending the nursery since he was 1, and I couldn't be happier with the care he receives. The staff genuinely care about him and have created such a nurturing, supportive environment. It took him a little while to settle in at the beginning, but the team were incredibly patient and reassuring, helping him feel comfortable and confident.

He has learned so much during his time there and is truly thriving. They potty trained him wonderfully, and I'm so grateful for the guidance and consistency they provided throughout the process. He enjoys going every day, which says everything about how positive his experience has been.

I'm really thankful to the whole team for the love, care, and learning they offer. Highly recommended.

Excellent child focused nursery. My little one struggles with eating and they are so good with telling me which meals he eats lots of and which ones he doesn't. They also helped with his potty training and always communicate how things are going during the day.

Overall Experience
I could not be happier with our son's experience at this nursery. It's like a second home here, calm and secure. He is genuinely excited to go in each day. It means so much to us to know that he feels loved and is cared for in a nurturing environment.
I especially like the gentle, child-led approach and the variety of sensory activities that really support his confidence, curiosity, and joy in learning.
The staff are wonderful - kind and supportive. The feedback they give us is always useful. The manager is excellent - approachable, helpful, and supportive. She keeps us well informed and updated, which gives us great peace of mind - this is especially important to us as first time parents.

The nursery has a calm, positive atmosphere. I feel so grateful for the love and care our son receives here and could not recommend it more highly. Thank you to all the staff who work so hard every day to keep the children happy and thriving!

Overall Experience
My son joined The Little Academy in September 2023, when he was only 8 months old. I can't thank enough 6 staff members in particular and all the staff in Daisy Room! They have all been amazing, supportive, understanding, great professionals, great people and I can feel every time and throughout the years, that my son was and is loved and taken care of.
Above all, my appreciation goes to the manager. A great person with a big heart, I can tell she always cares for the best interest of the child and the families! I cannot speak highly enough of The Little Academy!

During the years my son has always been involved in different activities and initiatives, and it has always been very stimulating and age appropriate. The nursery has high consideration of the safeguard of the kids and as a mom I feel safe myself too.

The little academy is amazing! My son is 2 and started in february. He is autistic and non verbal and everything single member of staff have really taken the time to learn and understand him as an individual! As a mum my biggest concern was him slipping through the gaps and not being understood by his caregiver while not with me and the staff at the little academy have put my mind at ease knowing he is in the best hands ever! Can't wait to continue our journey together and have my youngest son start next year too! YOU ARE ALL AMAZING!

I always feel the warm welcome everytime I enter the nursery. Teachers seem always full of energy even at the end of the day. This nursery is just like a second home of my daughter.

The manager is always approachable and helpful. I'm just wondering why there is like a dumping area at the back outside the fence, my daughter was pointing it on our way home, some broken things part of their outdoor play area .

From the moment my daughter came to this nursery she instantly was made to feel at home, sometimes she doesn't want to leave nursery. She has formed a special bond with all the staff but she has a favourite member she is so excited to see her in the morning and sad when she leaves. She is a great at her job and really cares about her babies. Keep up the good work The Little Academy Day Nursery.
