The best place for my child! after moving her from a different setting they made her feel welcome. She was a shy child who became a confident little girl, with the staff's help and guidance she has blossomed. I have much praise for the staff and the amazing job they do.

Overall Experience

All 3 of my girls have been or are still coming to LHDN from the baby room to preschool room, all the staff are amazing, they pay so much attention to the children and provide a detailed update of what the kids have been up to during the day. I have no worries of my children while they are at nursery and they always greet me with a smile when they are picked up. This has been one of the best decisions I have made as my children are caring, considerate and well mannered and LHDN is a big contributor to that.

Such a wonderful and welcoming nursery. My daughter has settled in amazingly and absolutely loves her days spent here! After swapping her nurseries from a previous establishment I've noticed she's a lot calmer and patient in her personality now. Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience

From the moment I set foot in the nursery, I knew that it was the place that I was going to send my son to. Friends send their little ones here too and I have found it to be a fantastically nurturing environment.

Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and they keep you fully informed of your child's progress and celebrate the milestones with you.

I would without hesitation recommend this nursery to any friends or family looking for somewhere for their child.

Overall Experience

My daughters have been at Little Houghton since they were 2 years old and it's been an amazing positive journey. The investment has been so worth it. If you are looking for a setting where you can drop off and be confident that your child's needs will be properly cared for then look no further. Thanks so much, Little Houghton team, we'll miss you.

Overall Experience

When I first used to drop my little boy off at nursery, he used to get upset but with help from the girls at Little Houghton, especially one girl in particular, he settled in very quickly. The daily activities, meals and toys they are provided with at this nursery is amazing! I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.

Overall Experience
Little Houghton is a fantastic nursery.
All the staff are very welcoming and make you feel "at home" straight away.
All the girls in the baby room are brilliant. I felt safe leaving my baby with all the staff. The room leader is great with the children and parents.

My child's key carer is fantastic with my son. It's the girls that make the room.

Overall Experience

I was very apprehensive about sending my son to nursery, but that soon dissapeared as soon as we walked in. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, my son loves it here. He's relaxed and enjoys all his meals. I love the chat with the staff at the end of the day too, who always take their time with us to tell us what our son has been up to. Our son has really settled into little Houghton nursery and we're so glad we found this little gem.

Overall Experience

Lovely nursery in a lovely setting. Outside space isn't massive but they use it really well and children are regularly taken on walks and to the park.

The frequency of staff changes and management is my only gripe but this seems common across nurseries - I would say though that there are a core of staff who have remained who are all brilliant and I feel I can talk to them and they really care and want to please.

Overall Experience

I have found this nursery to be caring and nurturing for our children. Staff always say hello to our children when they arrive and always look happy to see them. The staff are enthusiastic and full of energy and are caring. This nursery really does care about the children they look after. This includes the managers as well as the nursery nurses and assistants.

Review from James R (Father of Child) published on 28 June 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Sending your first born to nursery...feelings of apprehension engulfing your mind, right? From the moment we visited Little Houghton Day Nursery that feeling dissipated instantly. The setup is one that encourages enjoyment, inspires belief and nurtures your senses. The individual rooms are designed to stimulate the children through a mixture of interactive and self-learning activities. The outside area is a vast and expansive space ensuring imaginations can run wild - whilst devoid of grass, a local pocket park is only a short walk away for group visits to explore what nature has to offer. A varied menu of freshly prepared meals, catering for all dietary requirements/allergies, encourages healthy living and appetites.

All staff are a credit and an asset to the nursery. In the Ducks room, which my daughter is a member of, the team are extremely talented, dedicated and hardworking individuals, expertly guided by the room leader. I couldn't speak highly enough of this fantastic community.

Review from Sarah R (Mother of Child) published on 22 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter started at Little Houghton in January and has settled in really well. On touring the nursery for the first time I instantly knew that this was the place that I'd feel most comfortable leaving her at.
The staff are very friendly and enthusiastic, they really seek to provide the best level of care. I'm always given a detailed report of how her day has been and it sounds as though she has a whale of a time.
I definitely think that she will gain a lot from her time here as the staff and activities are very engaging.

I couldn't recommend this nursery more highly!

Overall Experience

Both my daughters go to this nursery and love it. My eldest will often ask at the weekends if it's a nursery day and is very disappointed if we tell her that it's not! We have no worries whatsoever dropping them off each day they attend and we love hearing all about the fun they have had at the end of the day.
