Little Pines Day Nursery

I'm so glad we moved him to Little Pines, I only wish we'd done it sooner. We'll be sad to leave in the summer when he starts school but so glad he has had such a wonderful last year at nursery.

Our first child attended Little Pines, and our second is there now, due to leave in September 2026 when they start school. The best thing about the nursery is the people. Everyone who works at little pines is so lovely, my kids know them all by name and have a wonderful relationship with them. Each day has a wonderful mix of fun activities and calming free play. So much effort is put into celebrating the seasons and nature, and they often go to local parks when the weather allows. There is lots of arts and crafts and creative play, and a super fun play area both indoor and out. Being a slightly smaller nursery I feel helped our kids make great friends at Little Pines. We've met some amazing mums and dads there too who are now our close friends. I'll be sad for my little one to leave, but he's super excited for school thanks to a wonderful time at nursery. Thanks Little Pines!

It is such a wonderful environment for young children to thrive. Our third child is at this nursery, and our elder two went elsewhere so it was a huge decision to choose somewhere else for our youngest. From the moment we visited, I knew we'd made the right decision as it's home from home. The staff are so warm & nurturing, with a genuine love, care and interest for the children. Our little one requires additional support for health needs (including physio) & the staff have been so understanding, willing and conscientious at supporting him. The physio & OT visited and also commented that they've never been to such a welcoming & receptive nursery setting in all their visits, which speaks volumes. The daily updates, photos & comms book make keep us well informed about the daily adventures. Couldn't recommend more! Thanks Little Pines-5* from us!!

We are sad to say goodbye, but forever grateful for their input into all of our lives.

We are so grateful for everything the team does. I can't recommend Little Pines highly enough - it really is happy times at Little Pines.

is excited to go in each day and comes home happy, confident, and full of stories. We couldn't ask for a better start to her early education. Thank you to all the wonderful staff for creating such a safe and happy space. They're amazing!

If you're looking for a nursery where they truly invest time and energy into your child's development, then I'd highly recommended the fantastic team at Little Pines.

Our son started at Little Pines when he was 10 months old. The details that went into ensuring a positive settling-in period were incredible. His key workers took the time to ask about his interests and even got hold of resources that were his current favourites. As parents, we have always felt listened to and reassured - those little worries and anxieties you have when leaving your child for the first time were heard with patience and met with genuine understanding. Our son has flourished at Little Pines; we have been amazed by the leaps in his physical development and language. Now he has moved up to the toddlers group, and is in the care of yet more wonderful staff! He runs in happily every morning and is returned to us later with the biggest smile on his face. We really see the things that he learns coming out in his play at home and he talks non-stop about his current key worker, who he again adores! From our personal experience, we cannot recommend Little Pines highly enough.

Little Pines has been great for our son. He loves going to nursery and every time we talk about nursery day his eyes brighten with excitement. Staff communicate well regarding my son's day, and they maintain a close relationship with him and us in regard to his development. Little Pine truly are an amazing team. I highly recommend it. Thank you so much for everything.

I’ve always been a little skeptical about putting my children into nursery, I just felt they were safer and better off at home. However, life changed (building works) and lockdown happened and I soon felt I wasn’t doing right by them. Being distracted dealing with builders and with them not being allowed to do much of the stuff they did before lockdown. A friend recommended Little Pines, so I called and went for a visit. I knew from the moment I met the manager my boys were in safe hands. She’s calm and assertive and has clearly been doing it for years. The rest of the team are just a delight! Not to mention very very patient (what is it they say about the second born?). It melts me when they go running in shouting “BYE MUMMY!” And just confirms how much fun they have. Both boy's speech has come on leaps and bounds (22 months and 3 and a half years) and my eldest surprises me with new things he’s learnt most days. If it’s not clear already, I highly recommend Little Pines.

I can't recommend Little Pines enough! It has become our extended family. They raised my first son whilst I worked, so very well. They're caring, kind, go more than the extra mile for your child, welcoming with kind-hearted souls. My son still misses it there and he's 6. My other son started this year and loves it. Seeing them both thrive and love it only makes me happy. The staff are so lovely to get to know and a joy to surround yourself with on a daily basis and what more can you wish for your children. More than just a nursery/childcare provider for me. An extended family providing a journey to start and grow your child's life and development. One of my reasons to have another child!

When looking for a nursery we chose Little Pines as soon as we stepped through the front door.

Over the 2 years that our daughter has been at Little Pines, we have gotten to know each of the staff well and that is down to their time dedicated to speaking to you at the beginning and end of each nursery day.

Our daughter has skipped into nursery since she started, it's reassuring knowing she is happy there and has a strong bond with the staff.

I couldn't imagine our daughter or her sister going anywhere else, it really is a gem of a nursery.

My daughter has been going to Little Pines Day Nursery for around two years now. Every time I tell her it’s nursery today, she jumps up excitedly and quickly getting dressed! She has never had a bad day there. The nursery staff are so kind and caring, they have really helped her development and supported her needs. When I am going to work, I am calm as I know my little one is in good and safe hands, and she is very happy every time she is there, and that makes me a happy parent. So, I can highly recommend this nursery to everyone who loves the small home atmosphere, and kids love it too! Before Little Pines, we have tried a few different nurseries and childminder, and trust me, Little Pines was the only one that is excited to go every day with no problem. Every day they do different things with kids, you see this on your child online account so you can check their progress, and they do a lot of adventures trips too! Just can't recommend it enough!

My son had been going to Little Pines Day Nursery since he was eighteen months old and he is four now. I viewed over eight nurseries and for me, Little Pines Day Nursery had the best vibe and felt the most secure. Also, I knew a friend of a friend that sent her little one there. The staff are very chilled which I love, not highly strung and have so much time for the kids. They are easy to approach if you have questions or want advice, one member of staff, in particular, has written out advice for me in her own time. I love the amount of outdoor time they have and the fantastically different activities they do. Also on many occasions, they have done things above and beyond such as, my son loves Michael Jackson and one member of staff bought in one of her Michael Jackson books which went down amazingly well.

My son has learnt so much in his time there. Love the family feeling and I know my son feels the same I can tell by the way he talks so fondly of them.

I will also be sending my daughter when it’s time.

Outstanding nursery. The whole team are amazing carers who I trust completely with my daughter who joined at 14 months. I have seen our daughter's social, play and speech skills improve dramatically after a day at Little Pines and her keenness to learn. I have just had a son and he will be joining his sister there. I cannot thank them enough, it is very clear to see they all love their job.

I can't praise Little Pines and their staff highly enough. It is a wonderful, family-run nursery that genuinely feels like a home from home. I have never met a group of staff who love their job more and this shows in everything they do. My daughter started here having recently moved to the area and the team put my mind at ease when she had a tough first day and within a week my daughter was running into nursery without a backwards glance! Thank you for providing such a wonderful, nurturing and fun environment for all the children.

Both of my children have been lucky enough to attend full time at Little Pines. The Owner and the team give nothing but the highest standard of care for all the children. My kids have developed so much and learnt so many future life skills there. The best recommendation I can give is that both children were always excited and happy to go to nursery every day, every single day.

Over 15 years our 3 daughters have been fortunate to have the truly exceptional start Little Pines brings to a child’s life. The genuine care for every individual growing personality, the exemplary start to education, the endless fun experiences and the caring friendships etched in hearts for a lifetime. Little Pines give children the very best foundations to begin their onward journey to school with confidence and a head start into learning. Can't recommend highly enough.

Both my children have attended Little Pines Nursery, the 1st child loved it, and we wished we had found the nursery sooner after trying several that we both didn’t get along with, she left over 7-years ago and now her little sister is currently attending twice a week, and loves her days spent here. They are so caring and nurturing; they seem to have the perfect balance of free play and set activities. All the staff are lovely and so easy to get along with. I highly recommend to anyone who wants home from home feel child care.

The happiness of the children always comes first, and you can have peace of mind that they are being very well looked after at all times.
