Review from Michael E (Father of Child) published on 24 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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 .

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Little Houghton Day Nursery

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.

Review from Rachel H (Mother of Child) published on 20 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The most wonderful nursery! I've been a parent of children who have attended this nursery since 2017. So a very long time now, and I have seen huge significant changes in that timespan but the one thing that always remains the most is the loving family orientated approach all staff members have with the children and also us parents/caregivers.

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!

Review from Katie N (Mother of Child) published on 20 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Little Houghton Day Nursery

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.

Such a wonderful nursery. Staff are amazing and go above and beyond. I love how safe it is. And how amazing they are with my son. They serve up lovely meals each day. Sadly I have one fussy child but they really encourage him to try new foods.

My son loves it. He's made friends too. I have complete peace of mind, knowing he's in good hands.

Review from Tom W (Father of Child) published on 17 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

Reply from Hannah Nabil, Marketing Business Partner at Little Houghton Day Nursery

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.

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.

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.

Review from Phillipa S (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Rosie A (Mother of Child) published on 21 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
What a wonderful nursery. The staff are excellent, really friendly and caring. They take a genuine interest in my child. Really good feedback at the end of each session and a very detailed report every 6 weeks on her progress.
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.

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.

Review from Emily B (Mother of Child) published on 19 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Very happy with all the support given to my little boy despite him being sad upon drop off. The staff go above and beyond to make sure he settles well and usually posts on the app within the hour so that I can be at peace and know that he is ok.
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.

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.

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!

Overall Experience
I had to put my little boy into nursery due to me recovering from a stint in hospital. Little Houghton took on my little boy and organised the paperwork and settling in sessions really quickly. It was a very stressful time for me but little Houghton took that away when my little boy started there. I was made to feel like I was part of the small family that is created in the baby room.

Thanks to all the ladies in the baby room (especially his key worker) for making my little boy feel welcomed and happy.
