Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Small World Nursery, starting in the baby room and now in preschool. The staff are incredibly caring and attentive, always greeting my daughter with a smile. The nursery is well equipped and the daily activities are creative and engaging. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and stimulating environment.

My child loves the nursery. He's really thrived since being there. The staff are great and really seem to care about the children, which is a must for me as my child is the most precious thing in the world and I feel he's in great hands there.

Review from S L (Mother of Child) published on 20 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started small world nursery in September 2025. She was very unsettled to begin with like any other child that starts nursery. The staff are amazing with her. They managed to get her to eat things she doesn't at home the work alongside us all the time, I recieve term information on her progress and she has flourished so much. She has a good rapport with all staff and they all meet her daily needs and challenge her brain. She can name staff, and she is able to tell me everything she does and their has never been a day that she has been upset with anyone. All staff are incredible and are easy to talk to if you have concerns about your child.

My child absolutely loves this nursery. He is so excited to go in a morning and doesn't want to leave when the day is over. His progression since starting nearly a year ago has come on leaps and bounds. All the staff are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful.

Overall Experience

Amazing nursery, our daughter attends currently, has done since 8 months, and we simply cannot fault them. They're amazing with her, really helping her develop all round. I love seeing the pictures of their outings and all the stuff she's done in the day. She loves going, has made friends and loves telling us about the staff when she gets home.

Review from A M (Mother of Child) published on 11 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The staff in the baby room are keen to stimulate learning and genuinely care for the children and their growth. The staff are hard working, friendly and nothing ever seems too much. They keep an excellent routine within the nursery day to day.
The communication between nursery and home is fantastic, I always feel any information is passed over. They make it a home from home setting.
I really enjoy the daily diary the Nursery complete, it helps to see how my child has been throughout the day and what they have been doing, eating, the time they slept and nappy changes.

My child is always so excited as we enter Nursery and happy when I arrive to collect at the end of the day.

Review from S Y (Mother of Child) published on 11 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Couldn't recommend Small World enough. I moved my daughter from another nursery as she didnt settle so I was really nervous. The staff are amazing. From the moment we walked in to look round they were so friendly and caring. All the staff know the children's name and are so welcoming and encouraging every morning. The ladies were so informative on our look round and they always have the time to answer any queries.
All her needs are met and the staff work with me to try different tactics such as shorter naps to help her sleep, encouraging her to use the dummy tree etc. My daughter adores her key worker.

The staff are always cleaning and have regular deep cleans. I love the no shoes rule in the baby room.

Overall Experience

My twin boys have attended Small World Nursery since 9 months old and are now 3 and a half! The manager and the whole team have been wonderful over the years. The boys have developed so well and they particularly helped us so much with the dreaded potty training! I also love that they have the option to go to swimming lessons in pre-school too. I would recommend Small World Nursery to anyone looking for somewhere in the local area.

My little girl has attended Small World Nursery for the past 2 years, she struggled to settle but all the staff are so lovely and have helped her with this. I did actually move out of the area, and change nurseries but soon took her back to Small Worlds as the new nursery just wasn't as good! She is starting school in September and we will miss everyone. Thanks so much for all your help and care Small World.

Overall Experience

Absolute brilliant nursery, my daughter has been coming here since 8 months old and she's now 3 and a half. They do so much learning with the children my daughter loves it here. The staff are so nice and welcoming. The nursery is very homely and inviting. I love that the older children can go swimming every week this has helped my daughter's confidence in the water so much. She always loves the food provided. The nursery has been very accommodating to her needs and if her hours ever needed changing. The manager is amazing and is always available to help with anything queries or questions I have.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at the nursery for approx 18 months since she was 1 year old. As the nursery is small it's super homely and the staff really get to know the children, form strong bonds with them and can tailor the support they give to each child. They have a variety of activities they do with the children and my daughter is super happy there. She can't wait to be taken for swimming lessons next year.

My 1-year-old has been going to the nursery for a couple of months now. I could not recommend a better place. My little boy's development has come on so fast since being at the nursery, and I’ve never seen him so happy and settled so fast anywhere.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for a few months now, and she's absolutely loving it. She doesn't want to leave when it comes to the end of the day. The staff are so kind to her; they have created a unique bond with her and are great at calming her down or comforting her when she's upset.

I highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

My child has been at the nursery since they were three months old and has always been happy. There have been lots of changes over the past three years, but these haven't affected my child's well-being at the nursery. They keep me updated with what's going on and how my child is progressing on a regular basis. If you ever want a chat about anything, the manager is always happy to help and offer any advice. Overall, you can tell that the staff at the nursery enjoy their jobs and care about the children who are there.
