Ickle Pickles has been great for my son. He's gained in confidence and has lots of engaging activities to do everyday. All the staff have been amazing and supportive. I would highly recommend this nursery.
My son felt welcome and happy being at Ickle Pickles nursey school. The staffs are very friendly and helpful. I have seen a big different with my son learning, he started make more sentences and he enjoy playing with he new friends. I do think this is the best nursey and I'm happy to put my daughter down for next year.
Thank you for such a thoughtful review. Were delighted that your son feels welcome and happy, and its wonderful to hear about his progress and growing confidence. Knowing he enjoys playing and learning with his new friends means so much. We really appreciate your lovely comments and your continued trust in us.
My little boy started here after moving from a different area back in April. When we came to view, they were really friendly and welcoming. Transition went really well, and it was like he had always been there. My boy loves it there and is thriving! He adores the staff. They accommodate his dietary needs. Including during baking sessions.
Thank you for your kind review. Were so happy to hear how smoothly your little boy settled in and that hes thriving with us. Its lovely to know he enjoys his time here and feels at home with the staff. We truly appreciate your feedback and your trust in our care.
A wonderful nursery. My daughter has developed so much since starting here and is so happy every time I pick her up. The staff are exceptional and really care for every single child. I do not have a single bad thing to comment on and no areas of improvement from me! Amazing facilities, amazing communication and amazing staff!

It means a lot to know that you value our caring team, communication, and facilities. Were delighted she feels happy and supported every day. Thank you for your lovely recommendation.
Connie & Faye are our stand out carers in the nursery. Our little man loves them and is always got a full smile on when he sees them. You can see the love and care they give to him during the day and puts our minds at ease when having to leave him.
Love this nursery, my sons attended since January and he is thriving, members of staff are very supportive and welcoming. He comes home happy and proud each day! My son now loves nursery! Highly recommended!
My son joined Ickle Pickles in January this year after having been at a childminder's for a year and a half before hand. We moved him because we felt he was ready for more structure, routine and learning in a safe and secure environment. The staff in the toddler room and the management team are always so friendly and reassuring about my son's day. They always give good feedback on his eating, his sleeping and what activities he has participated in. My son struggles to settle initially at drop off but the team are quick to tell me how happy he is to go and play when they have helped to calm him down. Ickle Pickles is a lovely home from home nursery and we are so pleased that my son attends there as we know he will continue to grow, learn and make progress before he starts school.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We're so pleased to hear how well your little one is getting on. It means a lot to us that you feel reassured and happy with the care we provide. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to the team. Thank you!
My daughter joined Ickle Pickles back in October 2022 when she was 6 months old in the baby room, she is now 3 and in Pre-School and her entire time at the nursery has been nothing short of fantastic! All of the nursery staff are amazing and really do care about all of the children's individual needs and helping them achieve their next milestones. My son has also recently joined the baby room and has a big smile on drop-off and pick-up. We know he will thrive here just as well as his sister has as the staff really are great!
Thank you so much for your lovely words! It's been a joy watching your daughter grow with us, and we're so happy to now have your little boy in the baby room too. We're grateful for your trust and look forward to many more special moments with your family. We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to the team!
My child has recently started in the baby room at Ickle Pickles. The staff have been very welcoming and friendly and answered all the questions I have thrown their way, I can say this has made my return to work a lot easier knowing he is in the best care.

Our daughter has just started with Ickle Pickles, the staff have been wonderful in helping her settle into going to nursery and have made me feel so at ease with leaving her with them. She has been so happy when I've picked her up from her session and it is lovely getting pictures of what they have been up to whilst I am working. The staff are so attentive and caring I couldn't recommend this nursery enough, they have been incredible.

I write as a grandmother to three children at the nursery. My grandchildren have attended since babies and look forward to going in every time. The children have enjoyed great nutrition and a wonderful varied diet and supported their individual weaning needs. I have observed the interactions the staff have with the children, their individual learning plans and communications with their parents. My grand children are meeting and exceeding their milestones which has to be an indication of the nursery's nurturing.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that your grandchildren are thriving and enjoy coming in each day. It's wonderful to know they're meeting milestones, and we're so glad to be a part of their journey!
My son has been attending Ickle Pickles since he was two and is now in his last year. The team are nothing but professional and friendly couldn’t have wished for a better nursery. The activities that are provided are good learning opportunities and he certainly learns a lot and speaks about what he has been taught. Would highly recommend this nursery.
Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad to hear that your son has had a positive experience at Ickle Pickles and has benefited from our activities. It's wonderful to know that he enjoys learning and sharing what he's been taught. We truly appreciate your recommendation and support!
My son has been attending Ickle Pickles Day Nursery since he was 3 months old and is now in the preschool room. During this time the team have been caring, attentive and provided learning through lots of fun and he loves going each day.
I cannot thank all the staff enough, especially management, at Ickle Pickles. Our little boy has been at Ickle Pickles for 20 months now (since he was 10 months old) and the progress he has made is incredible. We're amazed at how much he has learnt and picked up. Additionally, staff have gone above and beyond for us during very difficult times which I will forever be grateful for. My wife and I cannot recommend Ickle Pickles enough!
The food served is excellent and the activities they offer the children differ every day. Our little one is always kept busy and we are kept up to date with the app.
Choosing a nursery was hard but I am absolutely confident we couldn't have found a better nursery for our daughter. I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a nursery.
We are so pleased with our choice of nursery. Our daughter has just started here and has settled very well despite being one of the youngest here. Staff are wonderful, friendly and really care about the parents as well as the children they look after. Our little girl has learnt so much more already and has only been attending one day a week since she was 6 months old. We are so glad we found Ickle Pickles. We would highly recommend it to anybody looking for a nursery for their child.
My daughter absolutely loves it there and has thrived So much since going.
She is always happy when I collect her and keen to tell me about all the activities she has done throughout the day.
My daughter is also extremely fussy and they always make sure she has something to eat, even if it’s not on their healthy and fun menu. I am very glad I chose Ickle pickles.
My daughter has been with Ickle Pickles Day Nursery & Pre-school since she was around 10 months old. She absolutely loves her days there and has developed learning, social and speaking skills massively since being there. Would absolutely recommend to any future parents.
Ickle Pickles Day Nursery & Pre-school has been an amazing nursery. The love, care and support shown by all the staff has made our journey into the world of nurseries an absolute pleasure. I cannot rate them highly enough. They are fantastic!
I can not thank this nursery enough for what they have done for my son over the last 2 years! He has come on leaps and bounds since being there and also grown a great bond with most of the staff. My son has speech delay and they still manage to provide the best care for him while he was at nursery. Thank you lady from a very happy mum.
