Review from G B (Mother of Child) published on 9 December 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
We always find the staff friendly and welcoming. They always keep us informed and let us know how she is doing.

Our daughter always looks forward to going to nursery, and when we pick her up, she will tell us what she has been up to. She talks about different staff members with affection. My daughter loves to learn and really enjoys the way it is made so much fun.

I genuinely cannot fault this nursery. My little boy not only has lots of fun every day but he has learnt so much. He looks forward to every day and loves his teachers - his words not mine.

Review from Helen A (Grandmother of Child) published on 21 November 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My grandchildren are making excellent progress at Little Learners nursery thanks to the kindness and care given by the staff. They both love going and have been able to form strong relationships with carers, teachers and their peers. They take a great interest in their individual needs which has allowed them to blossom at their own pace. My granddaughter has become a much more confident individual and always shares what she has learned with parents and grandparents. My grandson has made great strides with speech and eating thanks largely to the devotion of the staff. I am so grateful for the flexibility offered by the nursery and for their hard work.

Overall Experience

My little boy has attended little learners from being 9 months old - now 4 and ready to start school very soon. Throughout the years he has attended Little Learners all of the staff have been amazing, so friendly, welcoming and loving towards my son. As a single parent who works full time it is so reassuring to know that your child will be well looked after. He has developed so many skills and made some lovely friendships which I know he will carry forward into school. I know both he and I will miss Little Learners very much.

Little Learners day nursery is just that one special place to have your child cared for. Excellent hands, caring, name it all. My daughter always looks forward to going to the nursery. She is learning so fast and quick and this has given me confidence she is in the right hands. I, therefore, recommend this to every parent.

Overall Experience
Our daughter has been attending Little Learners for a year now since she was 11 months old. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming and I have never had any doubts about leaving my daughter in their capable hands.

We have found that her social skills, language and ability to identify shapes, colours and numbers have developed fantastically. She spends time outside in the garden as well as time with children of other age ranges. The report forms we get keep us fully informed of how she has been throughout the day, including what she has had to eat and how long she has napped for.

Overall Experience

Myself and my daughter love this nursery, the staff are very good at what they do and they never make it look like it's their job. My daughter is well cared for and loves going every day, you always get a full and detailed report of what kind of day your child has had. The owner of this nursery is so nice and always make you feel welcome as do the staff. I would definitely recommend this nursery for anyone looking to send their child here. If I could rate this nursery with stars I would definitely award it 5. I am so pleased with my daughter's progress in her time spent going here and I am thankful for all their hard work.

Overall Experience

Our youngest child is just about to leave Little Learners and we couldn’t be more happy with the love and care she has received there since she was 7 months old. Every room has challenged and excited her and every key worker has cared for her brilliantly. We’ve always been impressed by how well the staff get to know the children and the amount of information they are able to share about their days, especially their new online portal. One member of staff in the school learners room has been amazing preparing our daughter (and her big brother) for school and is a real asset to the nursery. Fab staff we can’t praise enough.

Overall Experience

Well what can I say, my daughter has nearly come to the end of an amazing journey and we're all devastated she has to leave Little Learners. Everyone has been fabulous since day one and we would definetly recommend this nursery to anyone. She has come so far over the last year and a half, she has so much confidence, she's so clever and surprises me everyday with new things she has learnt at nursery. Everyone at Little Learners has been an inspiration and should be so proud, thank you once again for everything, we really appreciate it.

Review from Daniele B (Mother of Child) published on 14 August 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. My son first started when he was 8 months old, after looking at several nurseries, I choose Little Learners as I was very impressed that I could 'drop in' to look round. The nursery seemed a happy, friendly place and the flexibility of care offered. The owner, who showed me round knew every child by name and the set up indoor and outdoor catered for all learning and play needs.

From my son starting in the baby room and moving through the nursery, I have always had a good relationship with his keyworkers and have been kept well informed of his progress. All the staff know my son by name and he always enjoys being at nursery, has a good relationship with the staff and has made positive friendships with other children.

People always comment on how good my son's speech is, he socialises easily and is a very confident little boy which I largely credit to his time at Little Learners.

Overall Experience

We are very pleased with Little Learners. Our daughter has improved socially and academically already. She can recognise letters and numbers in such a short space of time. My daughter settled slowly. However, all staff made her welcome and made her feel comfortable. She has enjoyed her time at nursery and will miss it hugely.

Overall Experience
Really impressed with this nursery, even from the first visit. Staff come across as very caring and thoughtful and seem to have gotten to know my child so well in such a short space of time.
Outdoor space was important to me and this nursery has a good outdoor learning environment.
The nursery has been very accommodating in catering for my child's various allergies, which I appreciate can be difficult to do.
Very flexible around hours and day swapping and also offer term-time only which is great for us teachers.

My son is thriving here and I would happily recommend this nursery!

My son has thoroughly enjoyed his time at Little Learners. The nursery staff are excellent and he is definitely ready to move into reception. He always comes home from nursery having either learnt something new or a new book, He is constantly engaged whilst there.

Review from F L (Mother of Child) published on 30 June 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both of my daughters attend Little Learners. The staff are exceptional and they show a real level of care towards the girls and all the children. The facilities are excellent, the girls are always stimulated and have bonded with the staff and their peers. My eldest girl was extremely timid when she first started here but now she is a confident sociable character who has formed close relationships with the children in her group. She has excelled with her learning and pre- school education thanks to the dedication and commitment of the staff who push her in taking her learning to the next challenging level. My youngest daughter enjoys her time in the baby room and always becomes excited when she arrives. She has developed bonds with the staff in her room and has indoor and outdoor activities which keep her very stimulated. Would highly recommend the nursery.

My son has attended this nursery since 2014 and since day one I have found this nursery to be fantastic. My son has gone from being a very shy timid little boy to being confident in such a short space of time. All of the staff here are amazing. I 100% recommend this nursery.

Review from Danielle W (Mother of Child) published on 19 July 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

After having a negative start at my sons first nursery we were accepted into little learners & it was most certainly the best decision I ever made to allow my son to attend. Every single member of staff made me & family feel more than welcome especially my son who has came on incredibly since attending this nursery. I honestly couldn't thank the owner all the staff enough the way they have helped my son. I have since recommend the nursery & will continue to do so. Thank you so much to each & every one of you are amazing.

All the girls are absolutely fantastic they care so much about all the babies and children in their care, they settled my 8 month old in to the nursery amazingly, she loves coming in every day and I'm certain they will support and encourage her in the transition in to the next room.

Thank you everyone :)

Review from Marsha A (Mother of Child) published on 26 August 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
As a mum of three and all of different ages my children have attended this nursery since 2005 and my youngest daughter still attends nursery/holiday club. I would not recommend any other nursery in the area as they have attended others with much disappointment!!
My children have all enjoyed and looked forward to every moment they have spent there.
The staff are helpful, patient and always polite, the staff are like one big family. It's always lovely to see your child excited to go to nursery, and talk about nursery all night when she comes home.
In ten years I have not as a parent had one issue whilst my children have attended.

My two teenagers still like to pop in and say hello to the staff when I am picking their younger sister up.

Absolutely brilliant nursery highly recommended for all ages.
