Little Trees Day Nursery St Arvans

Our daughter has loved preschool from day 1! She is always excited to go and desperate to tell us all about her day. We couldn’t ask for a friendlier, more inviting staff. Our daughter is always greeted by name, even by members of staff working in other rooms. She thoroughly enjoys the activities the preschool room has to offer and we are thrilled that she gets to experience so much time outside. The staff have worked extremely hard during the pandemic and we feel happy that they are doing everything possible to keep the children safe. Thank you to the wonderful Robins staff for giving our daughter such a positive start to her education.

All the staff at Robins have been amazing with my somewhat shy son. They have been supportive right from the start, great at communicating with me and clearly genuinely care about each child as an individual. My son always comes how with a big smile and is obviously very attached to the staff in his room as well as the management. He is learning so much and always talking about the things he has done or learnt at nursery. The outdoor space is lovely and big, which was a big selling point for us and they get them out in all weathers letting them run around and get muddy which my son loves. I would recommend this nursery to any family.

I’m very happy sending my son to Robins. The staff are very engaging with parents and when I collect him I hear happy children in the rooms which makes me smile. Robins is managed by a very hard working, caring and enthusiastic manager and this seems to have flown down to the staff. My son is so excited to tell me what he’s done during the day. I can’t thank preschool room enough for their interaction with him. He often asks if they can come to tea! Robins has come a long way since the new manager has been in place. Thank you to a wonderful team. You are the best.

The care my son receives at Robins is fantastic and the manager and all the staff are the most caring and hard-working team. They have all done everything they can in maintaining a real sense of normality for the children during these times and we even received recorded messages of stories etc and activity packs during lockdowns. The nursery itself is beautiful with a really lovely spacious garden. I would not send my son anywhere else, the nursery really is exceptional.

My son has attended Robins since October 2020. He settled in well due to the level of care and support that was given to him from the outset. He very quickly became happy to go into the nursery, and he always comes out with a smile on his face! I love the weekly blogs and appreciate the regular observations that keep me up to date on my child’s development and give me ideas as to how to support this at home. As a teacher in a pandemic, I am acutely aware that childcare and education settings are under constant pressure. Robins communicates clearly and quickly about any developments that may affect our children. I, therefore, feel reassured that my child is in safe hands in worrying times.

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

I would not want to send my little boy to any other nursery. The manager and her team are the warmest, welcoming and hardworking team, who throughout the pandemic, have thought outside the box, bringing us activities, recorded videos of the children's favourite nursery rhymes and storybooks. They have gone above and beyond to support us as a family when we had a change of circumstances. They provide a nurturing, warm, educational and fun place to be for my little boy. The meals they provide are nutritional, the nursery is always clean, bright and proudly shows off the work of the children and photos of the fun they have there. The outside space is fab. I enjoy the regular photos and observations that are communicated through the app, especially through the pandemic, it provides the incite you to need as a parent. I feel as comfortable leaving him there, as I do with the family.

Overall, we find the quality of the care exceptional, the staff superb, and the environment bright, welcoming and filled with natural resources. Under the managers' leadership, Robins has gone from strength to strength in 2021. It is wonderful to see the drive towards ‘plastic-free’ and outdoor play. My son is able to influence the activities; his happiness and development are taken seriously.

More specifically, the whole team have been amazing through the Covid crisis. The manager has taken great care to proactively communicate with parents, often picking up the phone to chat to us personally about the situation. She has set clear guidance to help keep children, staff and parents safe while preserving a great experience for children. They have gone above and beyond to post updates out of hours and around the Christmas period. During the first lockdown when nurseries were closed, they kept us entertained with stories, songs, videos and activities.

Our room leader is fantastic.

My daughter started at Robins in November following her childminder of 2 years getting a new job, at first I was nervous and thought she wouldn’t settle easily in a nursery setting but I couldn’t have been more wrong. The nursery is fantastic and she settled in amazingly even asking if she could go on days where I was off work! The staff are fantastic and I love being able to check on how she is through the app, there is also a fabulous outdoor area. I highly recommend Robins.

The main thing Robins gives me is total peace of mind. Definitely an extended family. Thanks so much!

Robins has taken wonderful care of our son from when he started there at just over 1 year old to now in pre-school. The staff are lovely and genuinely caring and he simply loves going in each day. The manager manages the nursery excellently and the approach since re-opening after lockdown has been brilliant. We have every confidence our son is being prepared really well for school next year and so grateful he has had a great start in his education and development by attending this lovely nursery.

We moved our daughter to Robins as soon as they re-opened following lockdown. After a period of being at home with us, I was very apprehensive about how our daughter would settle into Robins, but the staff could not have been more supportive or welcoming and they made the entire transition so much easier than I was expecting. The standard of care our daughter receives is excellent and the staff who look after her and the other children are so lovely, caring and attentive. The nursery has lovely outdoor spaces and the children spend lots of time in the garden which is really important to us. They also get to take part in a wide variety of activities and I know that my daughter is never, ever bored at nursery, which makes going to work for the day so much easier as a parent. We are so pleased with our decision to choose Robins and look forward to watching our daughter grow and develop whilst forming friendships there over the coming years.

We’re delighted that our son has a place at Robin’s Day Nursery. A lovely setting with a close-knit feel, fun-filled, nurturing and supportive learning and developing environment. Staff have been most welcoming, accommodating and most of all, incredibly understanding of the current anxieties parents have due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We leave our son feeling reassured that he is very well cared for and the regular communication from the staff has been wonderful. Thank you all so much.

Great nursery, fab staff, perfect setting, there isn’t much more I can say. It is certainly not the closest nursery to where we live, however, it is definitely worth travelling the extra few miles to get too.

He also really looks forward to seeing some of them and his friends.

I have chosen to use this nursery for the care of my child after using it for my first. The approach to care is holistic and it has a very caring nature. The use of 'real things' to encourage child development is a plus side for me and the new natural décor and furniture allows the children to learn in a calm atmosphere. The staff are all happy and caring and I feel happy they are looking after our child whilst we have to work. Our child feels safe and very rarely gets upset leaving us. It's like a 'home from home' setting. Communication is good and we are constantly updated as parents. The nursery is encouraging parental/family involvement where possible and is providing opportunities to meet staff and other parents on a regular basis.

Thank you for making our need to work and leave our child an easy transition for all of us, you do a great job!
