Overall Experience

Both my children have attended this nursery. The staff are all amazing. The nursery has a home from home feel to it. They offer a large range of extra activities such as yoga, music and movement classes and stay and play sessions. They give you regular updates and pictures via the app as well as ensuring

an update is given on collection. This is a fantastic nursery and ill be sad when my children leave.

Review from Dean W (Father of Child) published on 26 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I recently visited Little Owls Day Nursery and came away genuinely impressed. From the moment I walked in, the nursery felt warm, welcoming, and very well organised.

The staff were friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. They took the time to talk me through the daily routines,

learning activities, and how they support each child's individual development. It was reassuring to see how attentive and caring they were with the children, who all seemed happy, settled, and engaged.

The facilities were clean, bright, and thoughtfully set up, with plenty of age-appropriate resources to encourage learning through play. I was particularly impressed with the focus on both educational development and emotional wellbeing, as well as the clear emphasis on safety and hygiene throughout the nursery.

Overall, Little Owls Day Nursery left a very positive impression

Overall Experience

I have 2 children that attend this nursery.

It is a lovely setting and feels more like a home style set up with the same staff members and consistency in the care.

The children go out into the local area for trips out and they have additional resources such as actual chickens!

I transferred

my oldest from a larger group of nurseries and I havent regretted my decision once.

Overall Experience

Both of children have attended Little Owls Day Nursery. We've loved the last seven years, the staff have always shown care and affection towards our kids. Lisa and Kia, are really easy to talk and deal with on the management side of things.

Carren and Debra are absolutely amazing and we honestly

can not say think you enough. We've always felt are children are cared for and looked after as if you was leaving them with family. I hope they don't ever lose that touch, as it sets them apart from the rest.

Overall Experience

My daughter started Little Owl when she was 10 months old stayed there until she started school. Staff in each group is dedicated, professional and caring, with the real passion for children development. Absolutely great place, various activities each week focusing on sport, art, learning and play.

Nursery is proud part of their community and shares those values with children. My daughter truly loved it!

Review from Emily B (Mother of Child) published on 22 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My children have been going to Little Owls for nearly four years now, and I cannot fault anything about them. The staff are all fantastic - they're friendly, welcoming, have great communication and always go the extra mile, leaving me consistently reassured that the children are in a happy and safe

environment. In the summer the staff held a graduation ceremony for those that were leaving to start school, and they had thought of everything to make the day special for both the children and parents. The activities that Little Owls provides for the children at nursery (both in-house and extra-curricular) have been enjoyed by both my children and has been very beneficial for their development. Plus the children enjoy a home cooked meal each day, which I often smell during drop off, and it smells delicious! Overall I am extremely happy with everything about Little Owls and I think the value for money is great. I can't recommend them enough! Thank you to all at Little Owls!

Overall Experience

We are really happy with Little Owls. Our daughter started at 10 months and is now in preschool.
She is always talking about the staff and has built up great relationships with her key workers in each room.
It's nice to have the offer of stay and plays, extra circular visits and the chance to take

part in holiday parties.
We get regular updates on the app with photos of what her room is doing, which is always something different.
Potty training, her language and motor skills have come on leaps and bounds as doing this alongside other children with great support from staff.
The staff are kind and helpful and are always attentive to all the children, even when they move up to the next room. Our daughter loves going to nursery and we are so pleased we chose Little Owls!

Overall Experience

I've had 2 children pass through little owls nursery over the past 5 years.
During our time at the nursery my family had a life changing event, during this time the manager Lisa and staff Kia, Niamh, Beth, Jackie, Beth, Karen and Deborah went above and beyond for my family during one of the most difficult

times. The support they offered both my children and myself will never be forgotten, they became family!
Both of my children thrived while being there. I will never have enough words to thank them. I recommend them 1000% to anyone wanting to send their children here.
Thank you Lisa for everything <3

We joined Little Owls recently and I couldn't be more satisfied. All the people there is really nice and caring. At the beginning I was worried about my baby's reaction, but the ladies always take good are of my son, and now he is well adjusted. Even when he has a moment, they are always ready for comfort

and cuddles.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Little Owls for over 3 years now and loves it. The staff are amazing and work so hard to make sure each child is happy in their setting. The renovations to the out door space has been fantastic, so much so that our daughter doesn't want to leave at pick up time. We will

certainly be using the school club once she starts school :-)

We've had such a positive experience with this nursery. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they create a warm, safe environment for the kids. My daughter is always learning new things, and it's wonderful to see her develop new skills and confidence each week. The team is very caring

and attentive, not only with the kids but also in keeping parents informed and involved. I feel reassured knowing she's in such good hands. Highly recommend!

My son has been going here for a year now and he absolutely loves it! From the very beginning, the staff made him feel so comfortable and supported. I've seen such a big improvement in his development, especially with his social skills and confidence around others. It makes me so happy to see how much

he enjoys coming in every day. I'm really grateful for the care and encouragement he gets here.

My son has been using this nursery since July and has settled in really well. Staff are always happy and welcoming, easy to talk to and really helpful with anything my son needs. There are plenty of activities throughout the week for the children with a wide variety to help build those skills up.
It's

really easy to get in touch with the nursery and to stay updated with how my son is doing throughout the day due to the app. Overall a very positive experience with little owls

Review from Cheryl K (Mother of Child) published on 6 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I have two children at Little Owls who both attend full-time, one has been at the nursery since February 2020 and the other since October 2022. The nursery was brilliant throughout the pandemic, providing normality for the children during an unsettling time.
Both absolutely love their time at Little

Owls and this is down to the wonderful staff who really care about the children they look after. My children have great relationships with all staff and are always excited to go to nursery.
The nursery has had a lot of investment recently, with the additions of classes such as music and movement classes and drama classes which all the children love. The children go on outings to the local park and shops and even went to the Christmas Market last year.
I’ve never had an issue with the nursery and love to see the daily updates on the app to see what my children have been up to, it always looks so much fun! The meals and snacks are varied to meet dietary requirements.
I would 100% recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

The staff at the nursery are amazing. They are always caring and manage to find the best approach so my daughter feels comfortable. She is very attached to me but with time, she started running to the nursery with a huge smile.
They are very flexible and this is so important for me. I needed to reschedule

her dates a few times in a month and they have always been understanding and doing their best to meet our needs.
They have a new manager and she is great with kids, parents and stuff.
