Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Review from Kate F (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff are friendly and accommodating towards my child's needs, staff have helped my little girl settle in nicely especially at drop off time.
My child at first wouldn't want to eat what was offered at lunchtime, however, she will now try bits here and there with a substitute of something she will eat
but I personally think the menu needs to be reviewed I would say it's a required taste but healthy.
The nursery is clean and I always see lots of smiley happy children when picking up and dropping off my child and staff are always happy to give you regular updates on the daily progress as well as a personal online tapestry journal for each individual child.
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.

Review from Kayley (Mother of Child) published on 22 September 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!!
