Little Jimmy's Pre-school Reviews (38)
Over all time Little Jimmy's Pre-school has 38 reviews.
My experience with the school and the management team has been great. The staff are communicative and accommodating. Always ready to listen and help. The care they tend to provide towards the children is top notch irrespective of the child’s culture. Their way of passing knowledge to the children is great. My son never wants to miss school for a day. Keep it up.
She is always telling us about the activities they have been doing each day at nursery, which always sounds very exciting for the children.
They always go the extra mile and so caring towards our daughter.
I would highly recommend Little Jimmy's, my son has just left to start primary school and my daughter will be going back to the nursery in September to continue her learning journey here. The staff are fabulous, they put them all into everything they do to make it fun for the children and the events they plan and hold are nothing short of amazing, they make every single child feel special and valued. My son thoroughly enjoyed his time at Little Jimmy's and my daughter is so looking forward to going back after the summer holidays. Keep doing what you're doing manager and team, your wonderful and the children love you all!
Our son is enjoying his time at Little Jimmy's Pre-School, St. James's Site. All the staff are very kind and enthusiastic. They encourage positive behaviour, constructive activity, and education. Thoroughly recommend.
Little Jimmy's is absolutely wonderful, the site and staff are just amazing. My little boy was late into nursery so was as expected a little unsettled at first but the staff as a team helped to make him feel comfortable and he can't wait to get in now. His confidence has grown so much. Best nursery I know by far. Thank you everyone there for everything over the past year. Keep up the amazing work.
I have had two children within the Little Jimmy's setting, one graduating in 2021 and one in 2023, throughout their time at the setting they enjoyed it and built amazing bonds with staff and other pupils alongside benefitting from a positive education which helped massively with their social skills. The staff and management are friendly and approachable and if help is needed then they are there. I've never had a negative experience with the setting or staff. Both of my daughters enjoyed it.
My son who is 2 years old loves this nursery and so do I, he's come a long way since being there he loves going in every day to see his friends and play. The staff are amazing he's always happy when he goes in and when he comes out. The manager and administrator and the team are doing a wonderful job at that nursery. So happy son equals one happy mummy.
All of the staff are amazing! They are always professional, but still warm and nurturing. They truly care about the children and support their needs.
Both of my children started shortly after turning two, due to my husband and I working.
They were so supportive of our children and were there for important milestones such as toilet training.
Both of our children thrived whilst in their care. They really do feel like part of the family.
All of the staff are truly invested in the children. They have lots of resources, exciting activities set up every session and two beautiful outdoor areas.
I honestly cannot give them enough praise for all of their support. I am truly sad that my last baby is leaving them, however, they have helped so much with his transition into infant school.
My husband and I will be forever grateful to them all.
Whilst they very much take policies and procedures seriously, there is a laidback vibe here that tells you as the parent that all is in hand.
Lots of themed activities and learning as well as celebration events. Including cultural events as well as British heritage events such as remembrance days and jubilees/coronations.
The summer and Christmas fetes are always well-supported and popular, which speaks volumes for how well-connected the parents are.
During the lockdown my son enjoyed the online interaction each week with the stories and songs. Very nice of them to keep in touch and not just close the doors waiting for the Covid-storm to pass.
I have recommended to many families in the area.
My boy been going to this nursery since end of last year and this nursery has been amazing, my son has autism and wasn’t getting on so well but since going to this nursery he’s getting on just fine learning new things every day, I am shocked with what he has learned and can’t thank this nursery enough to pull him through and support not just him but me with his autism, a big shout out to all the amazing team at Little Jimmy's for making my little boy into such a young man, thank you all we will miss you when he leaves on Friday!
Very happy with this nursery, my two children love it here. We really couldn't have found a better setting and staff to look after our children. They always have new things to do and occupy them, new learning every day, highly recommend.
I find all the staff really easy to talk to and very helpful.
The children have always been nurtured and cared for fully within the setting hence why all my children have now attended the site.
Having two of the children attend with special educational needs, they have been fully supported and their needs met, right up into primary school.
Thank you Little Jimmy's for everything.
She’s learnt so much, zipping up her own coat, writing and drawing words and pictures that we’ve been so impressed by. We’ve recommended this nursery to so many people and we know how much a review can encourage people to have a look around, as this is how we found the nursery in the first place. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better first year of preschool.
The first thing that caught my attention was the friendly and approachable staff. The teachers and caregivers are not only highly qualified but also genuinely passionate about their work. They effortlessly connected with the children, making them feel safe and cherished.
Safety is always a priority, and they did not disappoint in this regard. The premises were secured, and the staff maintained a strict supervision protocol. It was evident that the children's well-being was paramount, giving parents peace of mind.
As a parent, overall my experience is overwhelmingly positive. If you're seeking a preschool that prioritizes your child's growth and happiness, I highly recommend Little Jimmy's. It's a place where little ones can flourish and begin their educational journey with joy and confidence.
Keeps me updated with updates when my child is at the setting.
Has a handy car park which is mostly available for pick up and drop-offs.
My son has had a very enjoyable two years at Little Jimmy's. We are both really sad to be leaving this setting to move on to primary school. The staff were always very attentive and friendly. Anyone who gets my son's key worker as a key worker will be very lucky.
My 1st son went here and absolutely loved it, to this day still wants to go back, my 2nd son joined then transferred over to the new site in which they made him feel as comfortable as possible and he loved it! Every day he goes running in without hesitation! When you walk in the door everyone has the time to come greet you they make you feel very welcome and at the end of the day they tell you what they have been up to, great communication never had any problems! Great fundraising to constantly improve their sites for the kids! Fantastic nursery wish we didn't have to leave! Every member of staff are amazing! Couldn't have asked for more for my boys!
All three of my children have attended this nursery and it gets no better than Little Jimmy's.
I visited other nurseries but none compared to the care and love they give their children that attend. They treat the children like their own and always help out with advice or if you have a concern and they always resolve the issue.
My three children have always left nursery with smiles on their faces, even my eldest still leaves with a smile on her face when we pick up her sister!
Little Jimmy's makes every event special even the children’s birthdays!
Cannot recommend enough.
He wasn’t settling in very well but staff helped and tried a few different strategies until we found one that worked for him. He now goes in with a huge smile and always comes out happy.
