Review from K G (Mother of Child) published on 9 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am so pleased we found Little Red for my daughter, who has special educational needs. She had struggled to previously settle in other nurseries as she would only really settle with family members she felt secure with. I was so anxious about finding her a nursery she could settle and be happy in. When I first met everyone at Little Red I got such a warm and genuine feeling from everyone there. Even before my daughter started they showed such care about wanting to help her settle and suggested and did lots of things like photo books of the staff for home, to help her get familiar. There was and still is a genuine care for her happiness and my daughter absolutely loves it there and loves every single member of staff that takes care of her. I have visited many nurseries and can honestly say in my heart of hearts by far I believe I found the best. Can't thank everyone there enough.

Thank you so much for your kind words we really appreciate them, we are so happy you feel settled with us and that your daughter is so happy and settled with such ease with all staff.

Review from A K (Mother of Child) published on 16 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son started this nursery when he was 3.5 years old, due to having to leave his previous setting. He has recently left this nursery to start school, so didn't get to stay for long which is a shame as the nursery is amazing. As he went to two nurseries, I was able to compare and Little Red was so different. They had a separate dining room and little toilet cubicles just for the children. This could be normal for most nurseries, but in his previous setting, they ate in the classroom and had 1 shared toilet amongst the staff and children.
They have great outdoor play facilities and an indoor soft play section in Toy Town (upstairs).
The children are able to learn to be independent because of all the facilities and resources they have to offer.
They always have different activities going on for the children which is great especially if your child can become easily bored and distracted.
They keep you updated with everything on the app they use so communication is great.

10/10.

Overall Experience
Little Red is a brilliant nursery. A well-organised setting with different play/learning areas throughout all of the rooms - from babies to pre-school.
The staff are amazing and have always been so kind and supportive to not only our daughter but to us, as parents.

Our daughter has absolutely thrived throughout the 2.5 years at Little Red and has really helped her prepare for school.

Review from Craig C (Father of Child) published on 9 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our boy has been going to Little Red for the last couple of years. He is about to leave to start at school and we are really sad that the Little Red will no longer be a part of our lives. The nursery is simply fantastic, the staff treat the kids as their own, nothing is too much trouble and they vary the activities to keep the children engaged and learning.

We couldn't have chosen a better nursery and would highly recommend this place to any parents looking for somewhere to place their child.

Review from Priscillia A (Mother of Child) published on 30 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A truly fantastic nursery! I can't put into words how highly trained and experienced the staff and management are at Little Red. They go above and beyond to help and support in any way they can and my daughter has grown and developed so fast. She have enjoyed the nursery from when she was 2 years old and has to leave for Reception Class in September. She will surely miss nursery so will I. I highly recommend Little Red to everyone looking for the best nursery for their little Angels. The environment is conducive to learning with different fun times and activities for kids along with healthy meals and the app to monitor your child's activities. Thank you so much Little Red team for everything you did for my child. Thank you for helping her grow, for making a difference every day and for being the big hearts that are shaping little minds.

Review from L M (Foster Parent of Child) published on 2 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have sent a few of my foster children to Little Red, I wouldn't go anywhere else. The staff team are amazing nothing is too much trouble for them. The children enjoyed going and had lots of fun while learning at the same time. Communication is brilliant you can log on through the day to see what they are doing and what they have eaten. It is a warm welcoming nursery with lots of things going on I especially loved watching the chickens hatch and grow each day.

My little girl has attended the nursery since she was 18 months old and she absolutely loves it. Everything is very well communicated, I always know what is going on and there is a variety of activities and events for the children to get involved with. Everyone is very welcoming and caring and my daughter is really happy here. She has learnt a lot and her development has come on leaps and bounds. She is now 4 and due to go to school in September, I know she will be really sad when it's time to leave and so will I!

Review from Jade Louise H (Mother of Child) published on 28 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy with SEN needs came here in February after his old nursery closed down. As he struggled at his previous nursery I was worried about how he would settle in at a new place with the environment being different and his routine changing. There was no need to worry at all as he settled in straight away and you would have thought he'd been attending for ages! My little boy has come on so much since joining and the amount of care and attention the staff give to him has been amazing. I have nothing but praise for the staff here. They are so supportive, friendly and accommodating all while being professional.

As a parent, I am happy with my decision for my child to start nursery at Little Red. My child has always been a happy child. Always looks forward to going to nursery. The staff are polite, friendly and supportive. The children have food and great healthy snacks. My child enjoys the food. The children have a good playground and other different types of outside activities. It is also very clean. l would recommend to other parents who are thinking about where they want to send their children to nursery. I am very happy that my child has great early learning at Little Red Nursery.

Review from Jade H (Mother of Child) published on 20 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I would like to see more photos and updates of my child's day. At the previous nursery, I received daily photos and updates so I could see exactly what they were doing. Sometimes I don't get any info or photos for what seems like a few weeks.
A lot of the time my child's upset when I drop them off and ask if they can let me know how they get on, most of the time no one gets in touch.

Doesnt seem to be a lot of outdoor play. At the last nursery, there was a lot of outdoor nature play which I think my child misses.

Reply from Joanne Swindells, Area Manager at Little Red Day Nursery

Thank you for your honest review, we do appreciate our customer's feedback. We acknowledge that communication with parents is very important and staff are expected to give updates to parents both verbally on collection and on the nursery app. We encourage our staff to spend good quality time...

Review from Jen P (Mother of Child) published on 20 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son started here when he was 11 months old, he's 4 now and everyone from this nursery has been brilliant with him.
They picked up on his SEN needs, referred him on to be assessed and integrated routines into his days to make it a little easier for him.
The rooms are large, and there's different activities set up every day for the children to interact with. Children get lots of interaction with the teachers who are all absolutely lovely.

The garden and cabin is a fantastic outside area and there's toy town too, which has soft play and a role play area. They have extra activities like dance and PE, and sometimes do trips to the library or park. They do themed workshops during special occasions for parents and children which are always fun. The nursery is always clean and the dinner menu always offers variety. They took a fish allergy seriously. It is a little expensive but I think the standard of care given makes it well worth it. Never had a single safeguarding concern.
