Review from Nicola W (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We couldn't have asked for a better experience for our son starting nursery. All the staff are so warm and friendy. They learnt quickly what he liked and what calms him, and are so responsive, offering comfort and encouragement when needed. There is a lovely atmosphere in the room and I'm never rushed when dropping off or picking up so I get to hear all about his day. The office staff are all so friendly and helpful if you need anything. A very impressive, family friendly setting.

My son has attended nursery since September 2025. His motor skills, sharing and speech have all improved. I am very happy with the experience for the nursery and wouldn't picture my son in any other day care.

Review from Angel J (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

This nursery is outstanding. My little boy joined here at 13 months old. The love, care and attention the staff gave him made me so at ease. The updates and communication made it really helpful to understand my boy's routine. The facilities are great to adapt to children's ages and development. The staff members are always aware of my little boy's needs and always update us if anything is of concern. The nursery is 5 star and I am so grateful to feel 100% comfortable and trust the staff all care and educate my little boy. He has learnt so much already.

Little Ladybirds is a great nursery. My son has been coming for nearly a year now and is making great progress. The staff are so friendly and supportive. Each transition to the next room has been very smooth and again the staff have been very supportive and the communication has been great. The daily updates are really good throughout the day. A great thank you for being a brilliant nursery.

Overall Experience

My little girl started at 9 months she settled well into baby room straight away. Staff were brilliant with her. The app they use put me at ease knowing she was so happy and settled, she is now in toddler room and thriving. Couldn't recommend the nursery enough. Managements are very accommodating and will happily change dates.

Review from B N (Mother of Child) published on 18 November 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

For any parents sending their child to nursery for the first time can be scary. But the staff at Little Ladybirds are fantastic! They are always happy to answer any questions/concerns I may have as a parent. When my daughter joined at the age of 2 she didn't say a word, was so shy and only wanted her mum. Little Ladybirds have made her confident, given her the tools and support with her language. I cannot rate or thank the team enough.

Thank you for such wonderful feedback, we are so proud of the journey that your child has been on and we are so happy we are on this journey with you. Thank you again!

Little Ladybirds is a fantastic nursery. My son has been attending for around 18 months now and is so happy. He loves attending and from the moment I drop him off until I pick him up I know he's having so much fun whilst also learning and developing. The staff are fabulous too!

Review from Aminah R (Mother of Child) published on 17 November 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Little Ladybirds Day Nursery has been a really good setting for my child. He enjoys coming in every morning and loves the kind and friendly staff who work there. He has really come a long way since starting at the setting and all his needs are met. His halal dietary requirements are met and there are always alternative options in place for him. The nursery is a very pleasant setting to come to.

Overall Experience

Excellent nursery, staff all lovely, feels like a big family. My 18 year old attended this nursery and the excellent quality environment is still in place today. My son thrives here and loves coming. When he's had to be dairy free they take excellent care to ensure his diet is 100% dairy free whilst still varied.

Brilliant nursery and the best staff. Everyone has been so welcoming and made our little one's transition to nursery go smoothly - from being so unsettled initially, in a matter of weeks he now picks up his bag each morning and looks forward to coming in to see everyone.
