My daughter settled into nursery very quickly with the staff who are all so pleasant and lovely. They build up trusting relationships with the children and I feel confident leaving her with them! My little girl regularly talks about her teachers and how much she likes them. She only has lunch there once a week but whatever they give her she usually eats (things which we would struggle to get her to eat at home!). The app is a good tool which they use to show you what your child has been upto throughout the day! They do variety of activities with the children which my little one likes to come home and demonstrate! It's safe to say shes enjoying her time at this nursery.
I'm pleased to see many of the same faces from when it was little learners when my oldest daughter attended. A particular staff member greets you every morning with a lovely smile and hello. Keep up the good work.

My daughter has loved every minute of being in this nursery. They are fantastic. Treat your child as an individual, not just a group. Fun activities every day. My child has come on leaps and bounds with her learning. The staff are fantastic, so kind, caring and friendly. It's also very safe and secure. I never worry about my child escaping. Keep up the good work Kids Planet.
My little girl attended the older classroom and loved it, staff were so welcoming, and provided her with a high standard of care and lots of fun activities. The nursery has individual gardens for the separate classrooms making it safe for all the different age ranges.

Thank you for your lovely review, we're pleased your child has enjoyed their time at Little Learners.
Absolutely brilliant. Amazing, caring staff that treat each child as their own. The flexibility makes life so much easier. Couldn't fault them. If I ever had another child, I most definitely would choose Little Learners.

Both my children have attended Little Learners, with my 3 year old due to leave soon. I just wanted to say what a wonderful nursery this is, I have had children attend this nursery for the past 6 years and have always had the utmost care and attention. The staff are so loving and caring and have great knowledge of the child's individual needs. The activities and learning provided are fantastic, and both my children have learnt so much through fun and play. The garden is also a lovely area.
Thank you for your kind comments, we wish you all well and look forward to seeing you again.

All the staff I have met have been friendly and genuine. Great communicators and I do not have any worries when leaving my little boy there.
I love the flexibility of not being restricted by set days and have to give a huge thanks to all the team.
We're only sad this is your last term as we will miss you both.
Little Learners is an amazing nursery that has helped to bring my daughter on so much. I couldn't ask for a better nursery.

They are so understanding and cater for different needs and disabilities and help to bring the best out in your child.

We are happy to hear you're pleased with the support your child has received at Little Learners. We are all so sad to say goodbye, and wish you lots of luck for "Big School"!

My little boy goes to this nursery and I have nothing to say but amazing things! All the girls there are just amazing, my little boy gets so excited to go to school every day, they are so supportive and I trust them all completely. They always check in when my little boy is unwell and go above and beyond. The flexibility is just exactly what I needed and has helped tremendously, I’m actually gutted from September it’ll be his last year!
We are so pleased that you've been happy with the service at Little Learners. It's been a pleasure to be part of your little boy's learning, he is an absolutely delightful little character and we all miss him and worry when he's unwell.

The manager is an absolute star and goes above and beyond a lovely family run nursery with such a homely lovely atmosphere.
The office staff are so friendly nothing a problem I would definitely recommend this nursery hands down as it’s the best nursery in Sunderland hands down.
Thank you for such a lovely review. It's an absolute honour to be part of your child's early learning, we thank you for bringing her to Little Learners.

My grandson has attended Little Learners from the age of 2 and a half and he absolutely loves going, his development has come on leaps and bounds, all the staff here are brilliant with the children and so caring towards them, my grandson's confidence, listening, and social mixing skills are excellent as well as his educational development, he loves the variety of activities Little Learners provide as well as playing outdoor in the garden, Thankyou to all the staff!
Thank you for your wonderful review, it's so nice to hear from our extended parents/grandparents and that you and your grandson have enjoyed your time at Little Learners.

My son graduated in 2019 to start Reception and although he was only there for two years, my husband and I were so impressed with the staff and overall environment our son was taught and cared for.
My daughter has only been in two months, and I am pleased to say the standards have definitely not slipped. Warm friendly staff who go the extra mile and actually care about the well-being of the child, not just about getting money in or children through the doors. When covid restrictions were all in place, all staff were very due diligent and ensuring all safety measures were followed.
Little Learners are also so flexible as well by giving them notice by Wednesday afternoon for the following week.
I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent who wants a nursery for their child to thrive in a loving caring family feel environment.
We love Little Learners and we're so pleased to hear when others feel the same too, it is especially rewarding when parents return to us with their next child, so we can share in their learning journey again.
Thank you

Considering the recent circumstances of the pandemic I think they have managed things well and followed guidance.
Both of my children have come on very well having gone to this nursery and I don't have anything negative about the place or staff.
We are so pleased to hear that you've had a nice experience at Little Learners. It's always lovely to see parents returning to us with their next child. Thank you so much for your comments

Little Learners is a lovely nursery with really hands-on staff with an open and friendly atmosphere. Our little one has come on leaps and bounds in all areas since starting in January. It's a lovely setting, staff make sure they update you daily and they all have a really lovely kind manner with the children and it's always so nice to see how happy the children are when they go in each day. It's safe and secure and has been brilliant during COVID. Can't recommend Little Learners enough to parents considering this nursery for their child - it's fantastic!
It's really lovely to hear that parents/carers are pleased with our service, we all love working with the children and families, it's such a rewarding job and even more so when we receive such positive feedback. Many thanks from the whole Little Learners team.
All staff are pleasant, friendly and approachable. Give you regular reviews and updates. They make it a fun environment for children to play and also to learn. Snacks provided are varied and healthy, and our child was very shy to start with, but they have assisted in bringing her out of her shell.

Fantastic nursery with amazing staff. My little boy has loved coming here and will really miss it now he's off to school. He has developed so much in all areas and I would recommend with 5 stars. All staff are very friendly and excellent with the children.

The owner is a very warm, welcoming and caring woman who employees a staff who display the same virtues.
The nursery is always very clean, and the walls are adorned with colorful, visual learning material (numbers, alphabet, songs, different languages etc.) as well as information for parents (carer profiles etc.).
Our daughter regularly brings items home that she has made during the day (pictures, cards, models etc.) and we are always given daily summary sheets by her carers, as well regular updates on her development.
The nursery also often runs raffles and the like to raise money for local good causes.
Our daughter has been very happy at Little Learners during the 9 months she’s attended. I wish we’d brought her here from the beginning of her nursery care, and will certainly be bringing and future siblings here.

You can change your days your child attends by booking the week before. Daily updates of your child's day and a family feeling when entering and leaving. My child loves attending and has done for the past 3 years. I chose to keep him in the nursery rather than change him to the school he will attend as I feel they give him a one to one experience, he can count to 20 and knows all his colours and is encouraged to read and learn skill he will use in big school. I can't recommend this nursery enough and I would give them a 10/10.
Thank you, such a lovely review, and fantastic to hear that you've been so impressed with our service!
My older daughter attended this nursery a few years ago, amazing I can’t fault them one bit she still now talks about her experiences at the nursery! I find it difficult to leave my girls but this nursery is like a home away from home the girls are so lovely and friendly and the staff honestly...
My older daughter attended this nursery a few years ago, amazing I can’t fault them one bit she still now talks about her experiences at the nursery! I find it difficult to leave my girls but this nursery is like a home away from home the girls are so lovely and friendly and the staff honestly couldn’t put your mind at rest anymore! My now younger daughter is here and has not had a single tear leaving me to go and play here she absolutely loves it. Couldn’t recommend them enough!
Thank you for such a positive review; its always nice to see parents coming back to us with their "next baby"! - just wish the time didn't go by so quickly!
Two of my friends recommended Little Learners and said it was a great nursery, after visiting a few nurseries with my son and paid a visit to Little Learners, so pleased I did, I can't recommend it enough. The staff are so caring and trusting and that was very important to me,as you want your...
