Review from Annisa S (Mother of Child) published on 15 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Absolutely incredible preschool. The staff go above and beyond, they are all so lovely. Their outdoor area is incredible as well as the indoor area. Our boy loves going to nursery he always says he’s had the best time. He has flourished so much thanks to all the staff. We Can’t wait for his little brother to go to this preschool also.
As parents finding a nursery is hard but when we found Little Jimmy's we were blown away by how amazing it is. There is nothing more you want as parents than to feel comfortable and secure leaving your child at a nursery where you know they are going to be safe and well looked after.

We love everything about Little Jimmy's preschool they are the best.

Overall Experience

This is such a lovely nursery that always goes above and beyond for the children. Two out of three of my daughters attend and once my youngest is old enough she will also be part of the Little Jimmy’s family. The effort that is put in for events such as Mother’s Day afternoon tea, sports day, prom, and leavers graduation just to name a few has been amazing! I will miss taking my eldest to the nursery when she starts primary school in September but know they have given her the best start to her learning journey.

Overall Experience

Little Jimmy's Pre-school is the best preschool in my eyes, my little boy absolutely loves going to his sessions. The staff really do go above and beyond for every child who attends the preschool. I feel that the staff make the environment such a friendly, comfortable place. My son is always happy and at ease, with all the staff making it the best place for him to learn, grow, make new friends, and they make each day of his learning fun and exciting, but always keeping him entertained and focused on the activities they set up for him and the other children! As a parent when you have work to get to it’s so nice to know your child is happy at his nursery and you can leave to start your day knowing your child is safe, in the best care and company! Forever grateful for our Little Jimmy's family.

Overall Experience

My son has just finished his second year at Little Jimmy’s and is now graduating. I can’t thank all of the staff enough for everything they have done. Every single individual member of staff has been amazing and the relationships they build with the children are perfect. You can see that they genuinely care about their children and take so much pride in their work. We will always be grateful for Little Jimmy’s for what they have done over the last couple of years. It really is a special place to send your children.

Review from S N (Mother of Child) published on 14 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Since joining the nursery my son has become his own little person. He has slowly come out of his shell and is so excited to go to school. All the staff are polite, friendly and go above and beyond for the children. I’ve not had a single issue, no problems and staff are always on hand for support if needed. With the support of all the staff, my son has conquered so many things and achieved so much that I never thought was possible at his age. All their activities are focused on bringing the best out of the children. They offer so much support for the children and the parents and are always striving to achieve the best. I have since recommended so many of my friends to send their children here as they really do give them the best chance and start school life.

Review from S T (Mother of Child) published on 14 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Amazing preschool! Me and my daughter absolutely adore this place. Every morning she wakes up and asks if we’re going to “ school”. Each individual staff member is polite and communicative well. My daughter had come on leaps and bounds since starting last year. They treat the children as if the child were their own. My daughter had a bad accident outside of the setting and they went above and beyond to ensure she was still able to go and enjoy her time there while it also being safe for her, the staff and the other children as she unfortunately wasn’t mobile independently. I’m gutted that my daughter only has another year left and wished they ran a school. They have lots of different activities each day and a very large outdoor space for the children to play in. They also continually do their best to provide new outdoor activities and playing equipment to ensure the safety and learning aspect is always up to date. 100% recommend.

My daughter has been attending Little Jimmy’s Preschool for just over 2 years now leaving this year for school and she wouldn’t have been ready for reception if it wasn’t for the staff here. Couldn’t off picked a better nursery, all the staff are so lovely and so caring. Highly recommend.

Overall Experience

My child loves attending little Jimmy's Pre-school; she's always excited to go and goes in with ease, and on a couple of times she's been a bit shy, the staff get her excited to go in when we are there. The staff are so lovely and always energetic and have always let me know how my child's day has been when picking up. Thank you, guys; continue doing what you do!

Overall Experience
My little girl started here in January 2023 a few weeks after turning 2, she felt that at home she walked right in and has never looked back.
Every morning she can’t wait to go see her friends and names all of the staff.
The staff are amazing, they go above and beyond and the children come out with smiles on their faces all the time. They are super accommodating and nothing is ever too much trouble.
She has learnt so much already and has come on leaps and bounds. So many people comment on how well she is doing since being in the nursery.

We can’t thank the nursery for all they have done for us. So glad we are part of the Little Jimmy’s family.

Overall Experience

100% recommend Little Jimmy's Pre-School. The staff there do a fantastic job in helping us parents with any concerns we may have. They are honest and open and effectively communicate with everyone 1:1. We have been using this nursery for years! Two of my children have attended, my eldest had toileting difficulties and every staff was on board in helping us to overcome every hurdle. Little Jimmy's staff make you family, they treat the children like they are their own and go above and beyond for them all! Events are planned during out of work hours, activities for every session, photoshoots, day trips! I couldn't have placed my children in a better nursery! My children have had the best start anyone could ever give them due to the hard work from the staff. Staff sickness rarely happens here the kids get to see the same faces and have formed amazingly strong bonds. We have had an amazing experience of nursery life here and love them all deeply as they love our children!

Review from P M (Father of Child) published on 18 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Do not send your child here if they have special needs because you will continually let down at short notice. My son is at home more than he attends nursery as the SEN lead phones in sick every other week. The management take no steps to rectify or hire additional resources for SEN but had the time and resources to open another site.
We get called an hour before he is due to attend to be told he can't come today and it is always my son and who is let down whilst other kids and parents don't have to suffer.

There is always a story or a reason why they can't take him and this has been going on for 9 months.

Overall Experience

My son has attended the nursery for almost two years. They have a very friendly approach and are all very kind and try and get the best out of my little man with such a personal touch. The dedication of the staff go a long way out their way to make sure that the little ones are happy especially with the new sensory garden, they have worked so hard with fundraising, etc would highly recommend Little Jimmy's.
