Little Shipmates Day Nursery

I have had two children who went to Little Shipmates and both have loved it. The staff couldn't be more helpful. My daughter had some health issues and the nursery staff have worked with us to support her. My children always come home happy saying how much they enjoyed their day. We will all miss Shipmates as my youngest goes to school.

My son has been attending the setting since he was eleven months old and we have been extremely happy with both the nursery and his progress. The rooms have lots of resources as well as outdoor space. Staff are all friendly and my son loves them all, this makes it so much easier to return to work knowing how happy he is there. The meals provided are varied and have meant my son will try more food at home. Any issues are dealt with by management quickly and they have provided me with some helpful ideas about the day-to-day routine to help with toddler behaviour at home! Overall we are very pleased and glad we chose Little Shipmates.

After our nursery shut during the first Covid lockdown in 2020, we were really struggling both being keyworkers. Little Shipmates came to the rescue - our son has stayed there since and loves it! The staff are caring, professional and fantastic. It is well run and there is great communication with parents.

There are lots of creative activities and fun outdoor space. My child has already learned lots of new things in a short space of time.

I would highly recommend Little Shipmates to other parents. They take excellent care of all my daughter's needs as well as helping her to achieve and exceed her targets.

We are really happy about this lovely nursery. The staff are lovely and always available. My little one is very happy to go to the nursery and loves the teachers. We are very happy with our choice.

Our son started nursery in February 2016, at first I was really worried about leaving him and returning to work. However, the staff made this transition as good as it could be. Everyone is so friendly and I know that when I pick him up he has had a good day which is always confirmed by the NPs. He does so many different activities and he loves interacting with other children. I look forward to reading through his book every day to find out what he has done and the food he has eaten.... the food aswell always is amazing... he eats better than I do! and the tapestry notifications are a nice reminder that he is enjoying himself. I highly recommend Little Shipmates to anyone who is looking for a nursery.... I think every parent is always wary who you trust your child with and I can honestly say I have no worries about him spending the day here. All the members of staff at Red Cabin are great and it's lovely seeing that my son has a relationship with each of them. Thank you!!
