All members of staff take a great deal of pride in their work, this is clearly demonstrated by the quality of care and education that my little girl receives.
I love to app used to update all day, it’s nice to see how much she’s eaten or slept through the day and what she has been up to.
Such a fantastic place for any child to go, they really do thrive there and love every minute of it.
Hello and thank you so much for leaving such a nice review of the nursery; we're delighted you and your daughter are happy here.
After my daughter was living most of her life in Lockdown, I was extremely apprehensive about leaving her at a nursery all together but Little Ladybirds changed that. After 3 weeks of attending, my daughter smiles as she approaches the building and puts her arms out to the staff. She is such a happy little girl when I pick her up and is well cared for. The staff are expectational and incredibly professional with a wide range of activities you would never think of! I am confident to say this is a superb nursery and will highly recommend to anyone.
Hello Emma, thank you for leaving such an amazing review.
My little boy has been at this nursery for about six months and he couldn’t be happier! He looks forward to nursery every time he goes and always comes home with a smile on his face couldn’t recommend this nursery enough! I'm now pregnant with my second child and there is no doubt in my mind this child will be going to this nursery to! Staff are all so helpful and lovely and my son has grown and learnt so much from being there and with the other children! Highly recommend! They even have a coach come in on Monday to teach them football great exercise for the children and they learn so many motor skills! Food is also very healthy and safe for all the children which is a big plus!
Hi Alice, we're glad you are so happy with Little Ladybirds, thank you.
Great nursery. We considered a few in the area beforehand, but it was obvious from the beginning that Little Ladybirds was the best. Our daughter took a while to settle in as she is quite shy, however staff were fantastic and ensured that our minds were put at rest and gave us thorough daily updates. Our daughter walks straight in now with no problems and she loves it. I have been very impressed with how they have handled any Covid-19 related issues, including their prompt actions and communications with parents. I have never heard a bad word about Little Ladybirds Nursery and I would definitely recommend.
Thanks for that fantastic review Helen, we appreciate you taking the time.
All the staff are amazing they make you feel at ease if your child is feeling a bit upset or uneasy going into nursery. My daughter has been through all the rooms in Little Ladybirds Day Nursery and I’ve not had a problem at all they seem to deal with everything in a great manner. My daughter has come on a lot since being in nursery things I’d never think to teach her at home and she adores the activities that she does within the nursery as-well-as with the sports coach, French and Sing and Sign. Overall fantastic nursery.
Hi Rachel, wow what an amazing review, thank you so much.
Little Ladybirds is the most wonderful place! My child started just after her second birthday. I was really nervous to change from a childminder to a nursery but it was the best thing we’ve ever done! The staff are exceptional at their jobs, the nursery is clean, got so many different activities, the equipment is great, the food is healthy but tasty and I love that they go outside rain or shine which I think is where my child's love or being outside stems from! My child struggled at first but the staff always called me and made the transition much better for me and my child. I can’t thank them enough. Already planning to put my next baby in the nursery!
Hi Jennie, we are so pleased you are happy with Little Ladybirds, thank you for an amazing review.
Our oldest (now 5) went here for 3 years so having our youngest (now 2) go was an easy decision. They both love it and run through the door each morning.
Thanks for the great review Mike, we are very grateful.
The range of activities they do is outstanding. I honestly cannot praise this nursery highly enough.
Hi Stacey, we appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.
The team are encouraging, caring and always have creative ways to learn up their sleeves! Highly recommend Little Ladybirds.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice review Nora.
I was very wary about sending my little boy to nursery but he absolutely loves it here.
I feel comfortable knowing he is well cared for every day!
I had looked at quite a few nurseries but feel I made entirely the right choice with Little Ladybirds!
Thank you for taking the time to review the nursery, we really appreciate it.
Little Ladybirds is the best nursery in the area. The staff are friendly, caring and compassionate towards all children. They have looked after both of my children and have made the transition into settling into nursery seamless. They are extremely accommodating and I love the updates throughout the day. I wouldn’t choose anywhere else for my children. The learning and experiences that they provide are outstanding.
Thank you, Jade, so kind of you to leave such lovely comments.
My children absolutely love Little Ladybirds! They literally run into nursery on a morning with so much excitement. The care that the nursery gives them is exceptional. Wouldn’t want them to go anywhere else.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Harriet, we really appreciate it.
As a single mum who has had her son by her side 24/7 since he was born, needless to say I was anxious about him starting nursery. I can honestly say this nursery has made the transition as seamless as possible. They’ve been so caring and comforting to my son who still gets upset leaving me, but he always leaves smiling. I get regular updates throughout the day of what he’s eaten, drank, nappies, sleep and what he’s been up to in the day. They’re making an effort to help bring him on with his walking. They’re so patient with his eating (he’s mega slow). I can’t recommend enough.
Thanks for leaving such a lovely review Louise; we are glad you and your son are enjoying life at Little Ladybirds.
My little girl started at Little Ladybirds just after her second birthday and its the best thing we have done. Since she started attending here, she has come on leaps and bounds. She was already a really happy, outgoing girl but coming here has definitely helped her confidence grow. The staff are all amazing and friendly. Every day, when we collect her from the nursery, she is so happy and I always know she has had a great day. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.
Thank you for such a lovely review. We are so happy your little girl is growing in confidence.
Great nursery with a huge selection of activities for the children. Kind and compassionate staff and well organised.
Thank you for your lovely review. Our children certainly do enjoy our extra curriculum activities
Our daughter has been attending Little Ladybirds nursery since she was 13 months old and now attends preschool which she thoroughly enjoys. The staff are fantastic, we have seen how well our daughter has progressed and continues to develop. We love the range of activities that our daughter enjoys and thoroughly appreciate the care that the staff put into developing new fun activities and learning opportunities for the children on a daily basis. Our daughter was quite a fussy eater and being at Little Ladybirds has really helped with this, we are often envious of the food she enjoys throughout the day. We really like the electronic app which allows us to keep up to date with how our daughter is getting on during the day. We would highly recommend the nursery and look forward to our daughter’s sister starting at Little Ladybirds next year.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It's a pleasure looking after your little girl.
As a first time mum, leaving my child and going back to work was the hardest thing I have ever experienced but things were made so much easier by the amazing staff at Little Ladybirds. My daughter loves being there, nothing is too difficult for them and their focus on play and education is exemplary. They keep me well informed, with daily feedback about my daughter's well being and development and are always flexible in providing extra childcare days should I need them. I would recommend them to anyone and I will be sad when the time comes that my daughter needs to leave.
Thank you for your lovely review. It's so nice to hear we are appreciated.
They paint, sing, sign, read, count, dance. It’s a fantastic, fun place to be.
My daughter (due to illness) suffered a febrile convulsion. Thanks to the training and awareness of the staff they managed to take my daughter safely out of the way and an ambulance was there within 2 mins. Had it not been for the professionalism the outcome could have been unfathomable.
Your children are cared for by the very best at this nursery.
Thank you so much for your amazing review. It's lovely to hear your daughter talks about us all when she's not here-she's a pleasure to teach.
My little boy has been attending Little Ladybirds since he was 11 months old and is now due to turn 2 in the next few weeks. Throughout that time, he's moved from the baby group to Tweenies and has now just moved to Toddlers. Throughout all this change the staff have been amazing, making sure he was completely settled in each group. The staff genuinely care about the children and I feel comfortable and confident leaving him there with them.
Thank you for your lovely review, so happy your little boy is settling so well in our different rooms.
I have been using Little Ladybirds for over a year now and would not send my children anywhere else. When making the decision to stay or go to school, there was no thinking needed to keep my son at Ladybirds. He loves the practitioners in Preschool and asks daily upon waking if he’s going to nursery, even Saturday and Sunday. He loves Football and French lessons and has made great connections with his peers and his development has been no concern at all. The staff are professional and caring throughout the nursery in every room.
Thank you for your review, the children really do enjoy their football and French lessons.
