I have nothing but good things to say about Ladybird Lane. I never have to worry about my child because I know the girls look after him so well. He absolutely loves going. Couldn't be happier with choosing here.

Review from Kelly C (Mother of Child) published on 11 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our little lady loves LadyBird Lane. She started in September 2025 at 12 months old and has thrived since. All staff are welcoming & friendly and each day is different, keeping the children stimulated.
I love the monthly/weekly themes and the different activities that LadyBird Lane offer.
The environment is warm & nurturing and it is clear that all staff genuinely care about the children they look after. The app is fantastic and I love seeing my phone light up with a notification and photos of our girl enjoying herself.

Thank you for creating such a positive environment.

Overall Experience

My daughter currently attends Ladybird Lane preschool. She has been with Ladybird Lane from she was 9 months. The staff are exceptional! They ensure you're kept up to date daily with how your child got on and in my eyes provide a home from home experience for the children which is really important to us. The variety of activities ranges daily keeping the children engaged. I cannot recommend this setting enough!

Review from Tara M (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son attends Ladybird Lane and I can honestly say all of the staff are absolutely amazing! The love and care they give him is second to none and the activities and stimulation provided is amazing! There's rarely a week that they don't have visitors or something planned for the kids! My child also has a lot of allergies unfortunately which made me hesitant to send him to a nursery, but all of the staff are so careful with what he is fed and are so accommodating! They've even sent me photos of different foods with ingredients list to double check i'm happy for him to have it! Wouldn't send my wee man anywhere else

Review from Emma-Jane H (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Ladybird lane is fantastic. My little boy has thrived in his communication, motor and social skills since he started in the baby room back in 2024. He has moved through each room and has a brilliant relationship with all of the staff, which is testament to how much they all truly care for our children. So much attention goes into planning the activities each day and the kids get so much time outside which is fantastic. I cannot recommend LadyBird Lane enough-I have always felt content leaving my son in and always pick up a very happy (tired) boy!

Very friendly staff. I love the kids get plenty of outdoor time and extra activities/ visits such as animals, party bus etc. Good variety of food too.

Also the app is updated daily which Is great, I have struggled with this not being the case in most of the past nurseries I have used.

Review from Shane N (Father of Child) published on 10 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My 4 year old daughter currently attends Ladybird Lane (LL) and has done so since she was 9months.
We have always had a fantastic time engaging with LL with the staff always friendly and approachable. They go out of their way to share updates with us and let us know of her progression. LL itself has clearly invested into developing their grounds, providing great space for activities and stimulation.

My wee girl absolutely loves attending every day and has made great memories here. With baby no.2 on the way we hope to be sending them to LL also in the not too distant future.

Overall Experience

My son loves going to Ladybird Lane, thanks to the wonderful people that work there. Their attention to detail is second to none. They know him so well and always remember little details about him. It's a home away from home for him. The nursery is always immaculately clean and the staff are so attentive.

Overall Experience

Ladybird Lane offers a safe and nurturing environment where children thrive. From his very first day, my little boy has loved walking through the doors. He is always welcomed by warm, friendly staff who have built a caring and supportive relationship with him. His language and communication skills have developed tremendously, thanks to the wide range of engaging activities provided by the nursery. Well done to the manager and the team.

Couldn't have asked for a better nursery for my child to attend. They go above and beyond with days out, activities and all sorts of things and the girls are all fantastic too. Our second child will be starting soon and I'm sure he'll have a great few years with them too

Overall Experience

My child attended Ladybird Lane from 9 months to 5 years old. The care he has been given has always been good but when the manager took over management the clear difference in the nurturing, teaching and care my child has been given is amazing. I'm grateful to the manager and to all the staff at Ladybird Lane and would recommend this nursery/preschool to every parent.

Overall Experience

Ladybird Lane is nothing short of amazing. This is my third daughter to pass through the setting, and I have nothing but good things to say. My daughter has grown and progressed throughout the past year in the pre-school setting. The love and support that each member of staff has given to her has been amazing. I cannot recommend the setting more to others. I look forward to sending my fourth daughter to the setting when she's of age!

Ladybird Lane is an outstanding day nursery. The girls in the nursery go above and beyond to ensure the safety, well-being and safeguarding of all children. Nothing is too much. They create an educational environment full of fun and laughter. My boys absolutely love going there. They feel safe, it is a complete home from home. There is no better and they deserve all that comes to them.

Review from Natalie T (Mother of Child) published on 20 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I couldn't recommend Ladybird Lane enough.
My two daughters have been attending for about 18 months now, both have settled and developed so well. They really enjoy their time with the staff and their friends at Ladybird.
I’m kept well informed through the app and the staff really go above and beyond with all the fun activities, themes and events included.

I have moved to the area and my children attended a different nursery before we moved which I was content with, but Ladybird is in a different league and I’m really happy with it.

Overall Experience

My nephews and nieces love going to Ladybird Lane. Each day there is an interactive, educational programme put on for them which is extremely important for their personal and social development in these early years. Each of the staff are wholly dedicated to their roles in the business and I couldn’t recommend the business enough.

Overall Experience

All the staff are very accommodating, always friendly and helpful. They have a great outside area and I love being kept up to date with various photos of the play and arts/crafts activities, etc they've been up too during the day. They're always coming up with new and creative ideas to make the nursery a fun and enjoyable experience for the children with various events/outside agencies coming in as well. Overall I think Ladybird Lane is a fabulous nursery.
