My child absolutely loves the nursery and staff. He is always so happy to see them and they are always so happy to see him. It can be scary leaving your child with people outside of direct family for the but so reassuring when they are clearly so happy when they see each other .
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We understand that leaving your child in the care of others can feel daunting initially, but it is lovely to read how the team have quickly reassured you and that your son is happy.
All the staff work tirelessly to give all the children under their care the best possible start in life and all the love and dedication. My children certainly have thrived and are thriving, and it's all down to their early years experience which this nursery does extremely well. My son who started in September was my one child who struggled the most and I was so close to pulling him out as I didn't think he'd ever settle, but the manager and staff spent a lot of time reassuring me and telling me he would, some children just take that bit longer to settle in. All staff there are absolutely fantastic! Trust them implicitly! Just love them all!
Thank you so much for your incredible review and for being such a valued part of our nursery family since 2017! We're so grateful for your continued trust in us over the years. It is excellent to know that the loving, family-oriented approach we strive for has positively impacted your children's...
My daughter has been at the nursery for nearly 4 months now. She has settled in very well. As with most children starting nursery this was a new experience for her with a few nervy tears. The staff in the baby room have made the experience as easy and relaxed as possible. They answer the door with a warm welcoming smile which puts you at ease. They greet my daughter like one of their own and wrap her up in lots of cuddles. Each day they do lots of different activities which are posted on the app. The staff make time on drop off and pick up to see how things are and give feedback on the day which I very much appreciate. Thank you to all the lovely ladies in the baby room.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted to read that your daughter has settled in so well and that the baby room team have made the transition as smooth and comforting as possible. We truly value the connection with parents and are glad you appreciate our feedback and updates.
My daughter comes out really happy each day, she's well looked after and happy and I couldn't ask for more.
We are delighted to read how your daughter is developing in our care. We work hard to get to know each child and their family individually, so we are so pleased to read how this is having an impact and that she is happy. Thank you for taking the time to review our nursery.
My son loves it. He's made friends too. I have complete peace of mind, knowing he's in good hands.
We are delighted to read your son is thriving and enjoying his time with us. We really value your trust and are glad to provide a safe, supportive environment for him.
We could not be happier with the nursery. All the staff work incredibly hard to make this setting a fun, safe, caring & highly engaging place for our child. We're always greeted with a welcoming & cheerful smile and our child is always very happy to be dropped off, knowing she will have an exciting day ahead. We are kept up to speed with activities during the day via the app and all additional communication, if required (illness, bumps, etc), is friendly & polite. The nursery is very well managed & is brilliant at integrating structured learning activities & varied experiences (e.g outdoor play/walks) into the daily routine. All staff in the room are clearly dedicated professionals, who make very strong genuine connections with the kids. The nursery is always willing to accommodate our needs, such as shortened nap times or specific dietary requirements. Our child has thrived here - we are incredibly thankful to the nursery and all the staff. You're all superstars!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're thrilled to hear that your child is thriving and enjoying their time at the nursery. It's wonderful to know that our team's dedication and communication are making a positive impact. Your support means the world to us-thank you for recognising the efforts of our team :)
My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery she has come on so much since starting last year the staff are friendly my daughter goes in smiling and excited and comes out just as happy she loves her key worker she is always saying the staff members names when she comes home.
Thank you for your feedback. We're so happy to read that your daughter is enjoying her time with us and forming such positive connections with our nurturing team.
Little Houghton is a great nursery! The staff are kind, and caring and work really hard and are always happy to receive calls, give extra feedback, and personalise care (such as around nap times). My children really enjoy doing creative activities and look forward to going to nursery.
We work really hard to provide new and exciting activities and learning activities daily, so it is lovely to read about how happy you are with our setting. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
All the staff are amazing. They look after my child very well and address any issues instantly. He is always looking forward to attending the nursery. He is full of smiles when we drop and pick up. They give detailed feedback about what my child has done for the day which includes how well he has eaten, so that we can prepare better for the evening.
After staff continued to support and settle my now 2-and-a-half-year-old into their beautiful little nursery back in September 2023, they have now also committed to doing the same for my 10-month-old. They have made me feel 1000 times more comfortable with leaving him and going back to work than I could ever have hoped to feel. They are very informative on collection, and all appear to be very caring.
We love all the different types of activities the children do and love it when my daughter comes home with a picture she's made. The food seems excellent.
The outdoor space could do with a little investment but I can see this is already happening with the lovely little bench and flower planting recently.
My daughter absolutely loves her time there and we would highly recommend this brilliant nursery.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear that you've had a wonderful experience with our nursery.
Great nursery with lovely staff. My daughter is very happy to go nursery. She has been going there since April 2023. She is learning lots at nursery. Since starting nursery we have noticed her communication skills have improved and she is picking up new words everyday. We feel a warm welcome and are always informed well. We are very happy with everything at Little Houghton Day Nursery.
Thank you so much for your review, we really appreciate it!
Although he only goes one day a week, I feel my boy is valued and appreciated and treated like any other child. They have also supported him really well with the arrival of his new sibling. I am so grateful for all that they do.
I only wish they had more of an outside area with gardening parts as my little boy would love this but it isn't their fault due to space of the building.
Thank you for your review, we really appreciate it!
Our little boy loves going to nursery at Little Houghton, all the staff are so welcoming and friendly. Supporting our little boy in all elements of his development, we can't thank the team in the pre school room enough. Would recommend anyone to send their child here.
We appreciate your review, thank you for taking the time to write it!
My son has been at Little Houghton Day Nursery for over a year now, and after some bad experiences from other local nurseries, this was like a breath of fresh air, the staff are so caring and attentive, no question is too big or too silly and the communication with the nursery is brilliant. My son has gone from strength to strength here and have never had any doubts or concerns leaving him there during the day. Couldn’t recommend the nursery or the staff more!
Thank you for your kind comments, we appreciate it!
An excellent nursery with staff that are attentive, caring and considerate. Our little one loves her sessions and her growth in confidence and learning has been amazing to see since she started with the team.
Thank you for your review, we really appreciate it!
My baby is happy to go to and is engaged in all activities. Developing his language and social interaction. When he comes home he is ready for a nap as all his commitments for the day has been addressed.
Thank you for your review! We really appreciate it!
Great nursery, staff are really caring and helpful, my daughter loves going. Outdoor space is a shame as small but I know they take them to the park regularly. Great at accommodating extra sessions last minute.
Thank you very much for your review, we really appreciate it!
My daughter loves going to nursery. Knowing she's happy, eating well and is being looked after by people who genuinely care and know her really well is invaluable. Little Houghton Day Nursery is amazing!
Thank you so much for your review of our nursery! We really appreciate it!
Thanks to all the ladies in the baby room (especially his key worker) for making my little boy feel welcomed and happy.
Hi and thank you so much for your review, we really appreciate it! We are delighted to hear how well your little boy settled into nursery!
