Review from Jenny G (Mother of Child) published on 12 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son started at Little Angels when he was a year old, and is now leaving as he heads to high school in September.
He has had ten fantastic years there, the staff are and have always been wonderful and make every measure to ensure all children are happy.
Over the years they have bent over backwards to help me out, especially if there is ever an emergency and I can not thank them enough for all they have done.
I would recommend them to anyone... your child couldn’t go to a better nursery.

It is with a heavy heart that my son is leaving.

Review from Gemma B (Foster Parent of Child) published on 11 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I am a foster carer and my first placement attended for nearly six months and settled in really well. When I got my second placement I didn’t hesitate for them to attend this nursery.
All the staff are friendly and approachable. The manager was very accommodating and flexible to my specific needs.

I would highly recommend this nursery without hesitation.

Overall Experience
My son has been at Little Angles since he was eleven months old, he loves it! The staff I cannot recommend enough - each and every one of them are brilliant with him.
Seeing how my son has grown in confidence and how well, educational wise, he is as well is all down to the staff who teach him.
The food is brilliant with different choices each day, they always let you know if your child is feeling unwell, also the nursery is very accommodating.

Wouldn't choose any other nursery!

Overall Experience

Cannot give this nursery enough recommendation. All members of the staff are so friendly and professional. Our experience so far; has been nothing short of fantastic. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds and settled in so quickly here, and I think that's due to the staff being so welcoming. They are always happy and smiling, even now during tougher times because of Covid-19.

Thank you to you all! You all work really hard and are very professional. We just know we can trust you with our children’s well-being and learning. They are always safe, happy and kept very busy with exciting activities all year round. We know that if they are having an ‘off day’ you work hard to try and work out what is wrong and cheer them up and communicate fantastically with parents.

Review from Emma M (Mother of Child) published on 23 October 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I love this nursery! My son has been attending here since 2015, starting at very short notice. The staff are fantastic, truly caring about your child and treat him like their own. At drop off and handover, there is always a friendly face who updates you on events of the day, and it is clear to see the bond they have with my son.
I never worry about leaving him as I know he is in the best possible hands, and he has grown in confidence and gained so much social skill.
He now attends out of school and holiday club, and I could never imagine sending him anywhere else.
Communication from the top down is fantastic. I also like the social media page, where I can see what he has been getting up to. The manager and her staff are fabulous and always approachable. If they can help, they will.

Best thing I ever did was send him here.

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended right through Little Angels starting in the baby room at 8 months old. She has recently started school and is still attending the Before and After School club. I honestly cannot fault the level of care she has received these last years. All the staff are so friendly and knowledgeable and have been fabulous throughout each stage of her childhood so far.

Review from Alix P (Mother of Child) published on 18 September 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. My daughter has been here since she was nine months old and is now about to be four years old. The care and learning she has received whilst being at Little Angels is second to none. The staff really do go above and beyond, not only for your child but are ready and willing to give you advice on anything they can help you with too. My daughter is engaged throughout the day and they cover a range of topics and skills that prepare your child for their school years ahead. I honestly cannot recommend them enough, I would encourage any parent to send their child to Little Angels.

Overall Experience

When deciding on a nursery for my daughter, Little Angels were always at the top of my list. As my eldest daughter went there for 6 years previously. The staff are always amazing and welcoming. Nursery rooms have a wide variety of toys and activities for the babies/children. Leaving my daughter there so happy on a morning makes working life so much easier and seeing how happy she is when collecting her is priceless. Great communication on how she has been during the day and what she has been up to. 10/10

My experience with this nursery has been second to none! The staff are fantastic, they truly care for your child and put you at ease over your child's safety. My son became unwell at nursery and the staff picked up on this straight away.

Wonderful communication always. My son is always happy when being dropped at nursery and picked up. I cannot stress how brilliant they all are!

Amazing staff. Food, toys and care. Couldn't ask for more for my little boy. Been in Little Angels since he was one and after careful thought decided to send him here. He thoroughly enjoys it and his key worker is amazing with both him and me as a parent. Would recommend to all mums and dads.

Review from Lucy C (Mother of Child) published on 5 September 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This is a fantastic nursery and I highly recommend it. My boy has attended between 3 and 5 days per week since being 14 months old. In those 3.5 years, I’ve never had to complain once and when I hear stories about nurseries where my friends’ children attend, I’m very glad I chose Little Angels.
Aspects I’ve been particularly impressed with are: the bond staff create with children; staff’s willingness to cater for individual children’s needs (eg when my boy was dropping a nap, some days he still needed one and staff would always accommodate this). Also, the approachability, professionalism and knowledge of the management team and the quality and variety of daily meals (most days children are offered a main meal at each sitting); tailoring of the early years foundation to build on strengths and share areas for improvement and the all-around genuine care and love shown to all children.

Being a working mum, passing my child to staff I trust implicitly every morning is priceless.

Overall Experience
All my 3 children go here, my eldest has been going since September 2017 and I am very pleased with the standard of care that all 3 of my children receive. The staff and managers are very helpful and very friendly and work around you with whatever needs you have.

All my children love going there and have progressed very well with their development throughout the years being there. It is like a second home for my children and the staff, as well as the managers, are always very welcoming to the children. I am very pleased and happy with the bond my children have with their key people and also with all the other staff and the managers.

Review from Emily J (Mother of Child) published on 3 September 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
An absolutely amazing nursery. The staff are always lovely and happy, they give a very energetic vibe as soon as you walk in, which also makes you feel very welcome. My little boy is always happy to go which is a massive thing for him, which goes to show the amount of dedication and effort that goes into the setting from all the staff and management. The fun and warm environment has allowed my child to blossom so much. Whilst being at Little Angels, his learning and development have improved leaps and bounds. His care needs are met to very high standards, which is very apparent at pick up times and how happy my little boy is there.

The management team have been amazing and they are very helpful and understanding, nothing is ever too much trouble. They will help whenever they can and always have time to listen, no matter the problem. This nursery has helped my little boy's confidence to grow and grow. I recommend 100% to anyone that would like a very professional and caring environment.

I am extremely happy with the care my daughter receives from this nursery. She is very happy and settled when I leave her and I know she enjoys attending. The staff are all amazing and know my daughter inside out, she has made special bonds with staff members and other children.

The nursery is always clean and welcoming, with very good facilities for all age groups. The meals that are provided are of good variety and very nutritional. All aspects of care provided are exceptional.

Review from T W (Mother of Child) published on 3 September 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Little Angels Huddersfield is a wonderful nursery. The staff are so caring and down to earth, our daughter has grown and developed so much since attending Little Angels and I believe it's due to the exceptional level of care and time the staff give to each of the children, it's a friendly and extremely pleasant and positive environment and staff seem to really love their jobs.
The management team are always on hand to help out in the settings and make an effort to form bonds with each child, which puts parents at ease to know every member of staff makes time and effort, no matter how busy they are. It's less like a nursery and more like handing my daughter over to family or friends which I consider to be an amazing environment for my daughter to be part of.
We're always kept up to date and always given the opportunity to be a part of our daughters learning and development with fun home learning packs prepared at nursery.

I look forward to sending our second daughter here in months to come.

Grace McLean Job Title: Nursery Manager
Grace McLean

I am the nursery manager here at Kids Planet Longley. My childcare journey began 7 years ago when I first started as an apprentice, working up to management. I am passionate about creating a caring, nurturing and stimulating environment where every child feels safe, happy and confident to be themselves. I believe children learn best when they feel valued, supported and encouraged, and I strive to ensure each child receives the care and attention they deserve. I also understand how important it is for parents to feel reassured and confident when leaving their children in our care. Building strong, trusting relationships with families is something I value, and I aim to create a welcoming and supportive environment for both children and parents.
