The Dolls House Nursery and Pre-school

My little boy attended The Dolls House for 1 year - just starting school this September. Being at The Dolls House really made my son grow in many ways, he thoroughly enjoyed going to the nursery and being around the children and the staff, the nursery feels home from home and the activities and the toys are perfect to help your child develop. They're always out doing little trips and walks to the market/museum which my little boy absolutely loved! The meals they provide are delicious and such a variety always healthy options. The nursery helped my little one reach many milestones and has really helped him transition into school without an issue! We will miss you all.

Our daughter has attended The Dolls House Nursery for the last 3 years. We cannot thank the staff enough for the amazing atmosphere they create in this nursery. The whole team have kept our daughter safe, and comfortable. She is excited to attend each day! She has made friends, takes part in lots of activities and has become very confident. She will even speak to us in French! The nursery offers a wide menu, and supports our daughter's fussy eating habits! We appreciate the regular updates on her progress through tapestry, including lots of pictures and videos! We have always found it easy to communicate with the team. We have recommended the nursery to many of our friends and will always be grateful for the support they have provided in raising our little one!

Amazing nursery! Very friendly and experienced employees. Since day one we felt very welcomed. Thank you for all the hard work you put into each day. Our daughter feels happy and secure at the nursery. Recommend to everyone!

This is the best nursery I could have ever sent my child to! I don't know how even to begin complimenting them. After an awful experience at a previous nursery, my child suffered from intense separation anxiety, however, the staff were incredible and supported my child to feel at ease. Within two weeks my child adjusted to the routine and was content with staying there all day.

I can tell my child is content with this nursery because they run to the nursery gates in the morning, have a beautiful smile on their face at 5 pm, and love to interact with the staff. You can tell that the staff enjoy their job and really do put the children at the heart of what they do.

The curriculum is amazing, their food is freshly cooked every day with fresh ingredients and there are plenty of growth-inducing activities for our children.

It exceeded my expectations.

It is pricey without the funding but you must view it (if you can afford it!) as an investment for your child's future!

5 stars!

My 1 year old had a great time at the nursery. I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the wonderful care and attention they have provided to my son, during his time at The Dolls house Nursery. As a parent, one of the most important decisions we make is choosing a safe and nurturing environment for my child's early development. He is definitely gonna miss the nursery. Thank you for taking care of him so well. I will get back to you again, If we move back to Leicester.

My son will most definitely miss the team. Thank you to the entire team for being so great, and we look forward to returning to join your nursery in the near future with our younger son.

My son attended this nursery for 3 years and absolutely loved it here. They provide healthy cooked meals for the children and take them on trips to different places. They have a forest school which allows the children to go out and explore nature. They also provide French lessons for the preschool children. All of the staff are friendly and take excellent care of the children. I would definitely recommend this nursery/preschool if you are considering sending your child here. My son always came home happy and was always excited to go to nursery/preschool. Excellent place to send your child.

Thank you to the manager and team.

Excellent nursery, both of my sons love going, they have been going for a couple of years now. Staff are amazing always keeping us updated with everything that’s going on. Thank you to all the staff and management.

Thank you to her key worker for the love that you have shown. Beautiful nursery for her first few months of going.

The Dolls House Nursery and Pre-school is an excellent nursery. My four-year-old son is currently attending two different nurseries on different days due to practical reasons. He has attended another nursery for almost two years, and The Dolls House for a few weeks. My child loved it there! From week two, he wanted to go to The Dolls House every day and easily made friends. I am very curious how they did this. The care from the staff and the physical quality of the nursery are exceptional. Also, it was a pleasure to meet the owner, who is really engaged and dedicated. Thanks for all, very much appreciated!

Excellent nursery and pre-school. Our daughter has been at The Dolls House since the age of one year and now is three years old. The care and communication from the staff are exceptional. The nursery has a lovely, homely feel to it and our daughter has thrived. Learning key skills and gaining confidence in social interactions with other children and forming wonderful bonds with staff and children alike. My daughter displays a lot of confidence and willingness to learn outside of the nursery provision and this is a huge credit to the team.

Our son attended the Dolls House and the Cottages. I found the staff at both locations excellent and very informative. Our son settled in well in both settings, quickly making good friendships and relationships with his key workers. He has now finished, going off to EYFS at school and I feel they have definitely given him the best start to his schooling. We can't thank the staff, at both settings, enough.

The Dolls House nursery and preschool is an amazing place to put your child in. The key workers there are very professional, caring and loving. Also, the owner of the place is very attentive, engaged and dedicated to the place which is reflected in the quality of service provided. My son attended the nursery and pre-school for nearly three years and he is now at school. It has been three wonderful and enjoyable years for him. He actually misses the place and people there so much. During his stay, he became a very confident person, loved to explore, was independent and was always eager to learn about new things. I am very, very happy with the place, people and dedication shown over there. Highly recommended.

Very nice nursery. The staff are very welcoming and my child loves going there. The preschool is huge and there are a lot of activities for the children to do. The variety of food is great and it's clear a lot of effort goes into the children's education.

We have had our two boys at The Dolls House Nursery & Cottages Pre-School for almost 6-years now, and this year is about to come to an end. They have been a brilliant nursery and pre-school for our boys. Always thinking outside the box in what they provide for the children - always welcoming, always entertaining, always creative. The boys have loved it there, and I wouldn't think of sending them anywhere else.

Our son has been with the Dolls House nursery since the age of nine months. Now turning three, he has transitioned to the Cottages preschool. This process was wonderfully painless and how it was managed is a credit to the staff. I cannot give enough praise to their care and attention. All practitioners are well qualified, patient and empathetic to the individual needs of the children. The education our son has received is second to none, and it is clear to see how the Dolls House and Cottages have aided his development in literacy and numeracy skills, confidence as well as his general wellbeing. The food is home cooked and excellent, with plenty of variety to keep little tastebuds interested. The online parents' app updates help us to engage with our son about what he has been doing each day and continue themes during home activities. A big thank you to all involved in his care, we couldn't do it without you!

My son attended The Dolls House and Cottages from 9 months old, until starting school this September. He really enjoyed attending the nursery and as a mother, I felt really relaxed and comfortable having him there. Both me and my son miss The Cottages dearly! And now that he attends school, we realise how much of a privilege it was to have him in this nursery, school is sadly a downgrade! The staff are friendly and thoroughly told me about my son's day and any details I wanted to know (another thing I miss now he’s at school) I think his development was great thanks to The Dolls House and Cottages and highly recommend it.

The Dolls House Nursery is an outstanding nursery providing the highest level of tuition and care. My son joined in 2018 and only left in August 2021, due to moving to school for Foundation. Staff at the nursery are friendly, empathetic and always giving attention to children. There are lots of activities, trips and opportunities for children to recreate and enjoy themselves. I will definitely recommend the Dolls House to parents.

Our daughter has beeen at this nursery and playschool for over three years. She has really enjoyed every moment there, developed into a confident, independent and happy girl. We, as parents, have been really impressed with the wide range of learning, play, fun and activities our daughter has participated in. She is now ready to start her primary school and we would like to say a big thank you to all staff and the management at The Dolls House Nursery and Cottages preschool.
