Little Pals Nursery - Tendring Education Centre

Management have always been fantastic in understanding my child's needs and have been supportive and made relevant refferals. Staff in Shrimps are very kind and caring, I know my daughter is in safe hands when she is at nursery. I couldn't ask for better people to be supporting my daughter with her development and nursery days. Her key worker is outstanding.

Couldn't be happier with the service we are provided with!

Cannot recommend more highly.

My grandchild loves the practitioners and the activities they plan for him. He is there every day and we know we are leaving him in safe hands when we drop him off. Whenever we peak into the room at pick up he is always engaged in something fun and there are plenty of other children to play with. My grandson loves being outside and they even supply puddle suits and wellies so he can be out all day every day if he wants!

We would recommend this nursery to anyone with a child of nursery age.

He enjoys going and looks forward to meeting all his friends. He loves the outdoors and they have a lovely outdoor area. Overall completely happy with the service.

Their outside equipment was not in good condition and was left dirty.

I'm so happy with the girls that work there. The nursery is great. My little boy was very behind in his development and the girls at the nursery have really helped me and supported my son in his development to get him to the level that he is at now.

Absolutely fantastic nursery. My own children attended years ago, now I pick up my nephew. Friendly staff and lots of fun activities. He always enjoys himself.

Management are always available for flexible hours. Outings on the bus are also a favourite. When he comes home and doesn't stop talking about it

I highly recommend this nursery for anyone looking for a nursery full of wonderful staff and learning opportunities!

All 3 of my children have attended little pals. The staff are fantastic and the level of care is outstanding. I would highly recommend to any parents seeking a high level of childcare. The hot dinners are delicious and I was delighted to be invited in to join my child for a nursery dinner. You are made to feel so welcome and my children love attending. The online learning journals are amazing and I really enjoy seeing what they have been up to and also adding my own photos from home. Would not go anywhere else!

I am extremely happy with the care and learning my two children have received so far at Little Pals. The staff are very warm and inviting along with the resources they have. I would strongly recommend this nursery if you are looking for a large nursery with very flexible hours. I love the fact this nursery has its own school bus and the children get to go on all sorts of amazing outings!

My little boy has been going to this nursery for a while now, he went to one before in Colchester and we was very sad to leave and didn't think we would fine a nursery as lovely as his last but I was so glad when we came to look around at little pals! The staff are very friendly and are always there to answer questions or listen to concerns, helping me out when I struggled with toilet training and had my worries. His learnt so much from being there and has become such a well behaved boy. Overall little pals is a fantastic nursery & would definitely recommend!

My daughter has been coming to Little Pals from 9 months old and she loves it. She is now 20 months and every morning she says nursery. She walks in herself straight to the staff there. They are all very welcoming and update me on everything she does. I choice this nursery over other as I loved the warm feel the nursery gives when you walk in, so friendly and very flexible with hours and days to suit me. They always seem to have a jam packed day to occupy her and she comes home with many painting. She has made lots of new friends and I can't wait to see her progress to the 2-3 year old room.

My son has been going to Little Pals since the start of January and since being there his talking has improved so much and he is slowly starting to become a confident child, whereas before going to Little Pals he was quite shy when it came to meeting new people.

They have a baby massage course on site too, which is free to take part. Their fingerprint & CCTV system is very good - only parents and staff can enter and everyone else has to be met and signed in.

I would recommend this nursery to anyone, and I have done recently. Well done Everyone at Little Pals, keep up the good work.

My 10 month old granddaughter and 4 year old grandson attend little pals, as did my older granddaughter before going off to school. She now goes to the after school club there where she is collected on the nursery bus from her school.

The nursery is very welcoming and encourages parents and family to get actively involved. Most recently I was invited to a come dine with me dinner where I went in for a delicious cooked meal and sat and ate with my grandson.

The staff are amazing and provide a very high level of care. My grandchildren are happy confident and have progressed so much since going there.

We viewed many nurseries before deciding on Little Pals and I'm so pleased that we made this choice for our sons.

The activities that the lovely staff think up every day are fantastic. Squishing jelly, fun with paint, sand and shaving foam, baking, stories, loads of art work, playing outdoors, walks, trips out and they even have a fab football coach come in once a week which the children love.

The nursery is clean and organised. Every room is set up for the age group brilliantly. The hot meals for £2 per day are delicious. The best thing by far about Little Pals are the most wonderful, kind attentive and happy staff that genuinely care for our children.

They keep me fully updated and give me a full letter of what he does each day :)

Such a fantastic nursery. My children love attending and have gained so much knowledge and confidence since being there. My son loves the professional sports coach visits, especially the football! All the staff are friendly and professional and always willing to help. Would highly recommend.
