Fantastic little nursery. My daughter always looks forward to her days at nursery. She has come on so much since attending, learning lots and always has fun. The staff are all lovely and very welcoming. Would recommend the nursery to anyone.
Excellent care and provision. Varied activities. Staff amazing. My son is very happy at nursery and has been for 2-years. He starts school in September, and the nursery has been the ideal prep for that. Excellent communication with parents also.
Amazing nursery! The manager and her team are amazing. My daughter has been there since January, and it took no time at all for her to settle in. She always goes in the door with no fuss and speaks very highly of all the staff. The staff are great at keeping me updated on how she has been in the day and what she has eaten - the food is amazing. My daughter always surprises me with the things she has learnt. Highly recommend!
The staff are amazing! My little girl has been there since she was 11 months. She enjoys it and doesn't cry when I drop her off. She is always happy when I pick her up. Their menu and snack selection is really good. They do some really good healthy and well-balanced meals for the children. The inside is very cosy and clean!
The nursery is lovely, and the staff are very kind, caring, approachable, and amazing with the children. My son loves going here and has learnt so much and has made lots of friends. He enjoys all the activities and enjoys teaching me all the songs they sing when he comes home.
Excellent nursery and my son loves the place! Always keeping me updated as to what he’s doing and how he’s developing, which is great to see. I can't recommend it enough, the staff are amazing, very friendly, patient, professional, kind, caring and I could go on! The facilities are fantastic, and so is the effort that goes into planning each session. My son has formed some amazing bonds with the staff, the staff make a real effort to make time to communicate and take time to know not only the children but the parents as well.
My son loves nursery. His nursery teachers are lovely and really friendly and let you know what the children have been up too. He has learnt so much in the time he has been there - overall, a great nursery!
Extremely happy with our boy going to nursery. He started as early as 8-months and went through all the “rooms” (now preschool 4 years old), and we could not be happier with his development and everything else. Staff tick all the boxes or even more, but the 1000 words you have to fit your review in is not enough to mention all the +. You know your child is in a good place when every day he is happy to wake up and have fun either in the garden or learning new things. Also, management always very helpful and open to a conversation to help with any queries. Even during these hard days, they are amazing!
The staff are really friendly and always willing to answer any queries I may have. My son loves going here, always happy to go in and comes out smiling. I can’t recommend this nursery enough. 5 out of 5 stars.
Good value for money; and they have an app where you can keep track of your child’s progress and what they’ve been up to etc.
My daughter has been attending Little Mice since she was 9-months and is now 2-years-old, and I am delighted with the service they have provided her in that time; this has ranged from making her feel comfortable going into the nursery, to the wide variety of activities available to her. I always see from social media or on the app the activities that have taken place, which is really nice for me as I don’t always get to pick my daughter up, so to see what she has been up to is great. The staff are always so friendly, professional and cheerful, and my daughter is happy to go to them each morning, which is great peace of mind. Thank you so much for the hard work!
The staff at the nursery do more for my daughter than I could ever ask for. She has come such a long way since joining there and enjoys her time with the staff and other children. Like most parents, I felt extremely guilty for sending her there at 6-months-old, but I cannot fault any of them. My daughter is happy, safe and loving her time in Little Mice.
One thing I have noticed is that the staff genuinely care for my daughter. She isn't a number to them, and they treat her like an individual.
Thank you so much to the manager and the team!
I cannot recommend Little Mice Nursery enough. Our youngest started there in January 2020 for his last two terms following attendance at an alternative setting locally and the progress he has made since his move has been amazing. His speech, behaviour and intellect have all improved off the scale. The staff are so friendly and engaging (not to mention that they all have the patience of a saint) that our son cannot wait to go in and counts down the sleeps in between. When dropping him off in the morning he races through the door which fills me with confidence that he is in a safe and caring environment. If you are looking for a placement in the Stowmarket area for your little one, then Little Mice is a must. Thank you to all members of the team, we will miss you all greatly as he starts his next adventure at "Big" school fully prepared. I am in no way affiliated to the setting other than being a very happy parent.
Absolutely love Little Mice 2 - I feel so relaxed and happy dropping my son off - the staff are all wonderful and I cannot thank them enough. I would highly recommend Little Mice 2 to anyone looking for a nursery for their little ones in the Stowmarket area.
All of the staff were attentive, professional and confident in caring for him. It was a very easy decision to apply for a space for my second son. He also loves it and I barely even get a backwards glance when I drop him off in the morning. I’m always given a full debrief of his day when I collect him, and I never worry about the level of care he receives.
I can go to work stress-free, knowing that my most precious little people are safe and happy.
The managers are really well organised and creative, always creating a creative space and changing the decorations.
Things I love about this nursery:
- Parent's evening - you are not just dropping your child off, they are constantly monitoring their progress and they give you a little report every few months and have a little parents evening where they give you feedback on your child's progress.
- The food, it's all freshly cooked on site and they have breakfast and a hot meal for lunch and dinner, they always eat healthy stuff like fish pie.
- The care - the staff are really great, I don't know how they all work in such a close environment with all these screaming children, but they all seem happy and do their jobs with a smile on their face.
My daughter attended Little Mice Day Nursery since she was 9 months old. I have nothing but praise for them, I think they all do a brilliant job with the children. She moved over to Little Mice 2 when she was 2 1/2 and finished this week as she now attends 'Big School'. She has always really enjoyed attending her sessions here. The staff are all very friendly and approachable. They offer a wide variation of activities for the children. The communication with parents is brilliant- they send out weekly newsletters to keep parents updated about what their children have been learning about so parents can support their children in their learning. They are very quick to respond to emails, and always happy to help resolve any queries etc. The range of food offered to the children at mealtime is fantastic too-my daughter used to come home telling me all about her meals, dishes I would never have thought she'd like, and I put it down to this that she is not a fussy eater. Fantastic nursery!
The weekly newsletter is great for keeping up with what they have been up to.
My son loves going to Little Mice, he started going in May and we have already seen him come on leaps and bounds. His confidence is growing and he will quite happily go and play with his friends as well as on his own. The staff have helped him to settle in well and I can tell he feels safe and secure there whilst I'm not there with him.
I can't recommend Little Mice 1 (nursery) enough. My daughter started there at 5 months and starts at Little Mice preschool tomorrow. The staff are excellent, knowledgeable, easy to communicate with and genuinely care about the children. We haven't had any problems, communication has always been brilliant and I have a happy, bright, funny, independent 2-year-old who's excelled under their care. Great activities, outings to the museum and most of all they teach them life skills and good manners!
Every day my child was so excited as soon as I mentioned nursery.
I'm so impressed with how far my child has come with her development, the amazing activities they provide to meet all age ranges.
Can't fault one bit. I'm one happy mummy/parent.
