My daughter started Little Bugs Childcare in January 2025 in babies, and from the beginning, we have had a fantastic experience. The staff are brilliant, so caring and professional, and have formed a wonderful relationship with our daughter. We have loved watching her grow and develop, and the staff have certainly played a huge part in this, and we couldn't be more thankful. All the extra activities they do and fun days they plan with them are so fun to see, and I really do 100% recommend this nursery to everyone and anyone! You are so well updated throughout the app, and we always have a good catchup on drop off and pick up. Can't thank the team at Little Bugs enough!
We've been with Little Bugs Childcare for three years now. Our eldest loved it so much that we enrolled our youngest too. The staff are truly wonderful-so caring, and they build genuine bonds with the children while supporting their development. Communication is great, both in person and through the app, which includes updates, pictures, and notes on how your child is learning and growing. The range of activities is fantastic, and it's great that the kids can enjoy the web before it opens to the public and during quieter times. I honestly couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough.
My son loves to go to nursery and they are always doing crafts and physical activities.
We get excellent updates via the app and in person, suggestions on things to encourage at home for development
Little bugs is such a great nursery. My child has settled in really well, always looks forward to going and always has lots of fun. Couldn't fault them at all. Also any questions we ask on the app they respond to straight away which is always nice.
We simply love Little Bugs childcare. Our older daughter went there and we had such a great experience that we also enrolled our youngest one. The carers are really lovely to the kids and it is noticeable the connections they create - like family. They do a wide range of activities with the kids that are engaging and really promote the right development. There is also the advantage that the nursery uses the facilities of the park before it opens/when it is not busy - so the children can play on the slides/soft play (they became so much braver!) and also see the animals. We must say we gave only good things to share about Little Bugs!
We have been using Little Bugs for 5 years now with both of our children and have never had any issues. All the staff are lovely and the spaces which the children have access to are great at as well as the equipment which is offered to the children.
My son has attended for the last two years and I have nothing but positive things to say. Facilities are second to none, he's made loads of friends and staff are friendly and communicate with us all the time.
Really happy with our experience here from day one. We have a bilingual daughter and they have been super supportive even buying in German books for her! We're always kept up to date with her days and couldn't recommend them more
Little Bugs has been an amazing place for both of my children. They are caring, nurturing and provide an excellent education to assist the children in moving to school. The staff are a pleasure to work with and they have genuine interest and care for the children. Communication is excellent and both of my children couldn't wait to attend each day. It has been the best decision my partner and I made in sending our children to Little Bugs. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Both of our children have attended Little Bugs over the last 5 years. The staff are lovely and have always been very caring & supportive. It is a lovely environment with access to a wide variety of resources.
My eldest son attends and my baby boy will be going when I go back to work and I wouldn't send him anywhere else. It's a fantastic nursery, brilliant facilities offering a wide range of activities for the children and lots of outdoor play which I feel is important. The staff are absolutely wonderful, my sons key worker has been fantastic at challenging him and making sure he grows and develops, ready for starting school in September.
I can't thank them enough, they have done amazing for my children who absolutely love going and My son misses it now he has started school..
The staff are very caring and loving with the children, also help get the children into routines and learn boundaries which is great. This nursery seem to do lots of fun activities with the children on a regular basis.
I would highly recommend to anybody
Staff are amazing with children and helping children get ready for school
All staff are friendly great place for kids.
My son started in May 2024, and the nursery has been fantastic with him. The updates and photos throughout the day are amazing, giving me peace of mind and keeping me involved in his journey. I have definitely seen a positive change in his confidence and development since he started. The staff are caring and truly go the extra mile to create a nurturing environment. I couldn't be happier with our experience
We have had a great experience with little bugs nursery, great place, great facilities and great staff. Definitely recommend. Communication has always been good and they really care about the children's development and happiness.
I couldn't recommend the nursery highly enough - the children have access to amazing facilities (indoor soft play, outdoor pedal bikes, sand and water park, animals and a nursery forest school). The staff there have always come across like they really care about the children and their development. You get excellent updates over the app and a handover at pick-up. The children also seem to do a range of interesting activities. The food is excellent - I think it's made on-site (at Web) and varied recipes, not just chicken nuggets and chips.
The facilities they have make it a fun place for children to go!
The app that is used to see your child's progression is great as well as seeing your child's daily activities logged on there to.
All the staff are lovely and with sending my 2nd child it's so nice to see the same staff working there which speaks volumes!
Fantastic! Our little bug has allergies and the staff go above and beyond to ensure he doesn't miss out at meal time. He looks forward to going to nursery and on the weekends he's asking to go to nursery (I try not to get offended). He's developed so much since starting in 2023. He was once fairly quiet and refused to smile. He's now the centre of all activities and full of beans at every pick up. When our eldest child left for school we decided to stick with little bugs, despite it being out of our way! We love it and we love the special bond between our children and the staff! Thank you, you guys are amazing
Staff are so lovely and both my kids have love/loved being at little bugs. Especially love how much space they have and that they can use the web too which makes it so different from other nursery's. Fantastic nursery and would recommend.

“I have worked in childcare for more years than I would like to admit! I have experience of caring for children in many different situations from being a private nanny, working in schools, private day nurseries and through being a Beaver Scout Leader. I love to watch and help the children in my care to learn and develop new skills which are going to help them in their future. I feel the best thing we can do as childcare practitioners is to encourage children to fully appreciate their childhood and treasure it and the memories they will make during it.”
“I have worked in childcare for seven years since I left school. I went to college for two years and I achieved a BTEC national diploma level 3 in Early Years. I have worked with all ages of children up to the age of 8, I have done this through working in baby units, toddlers, pre-school and reception classes. I enjoy making great relationships with the children whilst helping them learn and develop new skills.
I graduated from Lancaster University in 2019, with a degree BSc(Hons) Psychology, in which I specialised in children’s development and language. I absolutely love working at Little Bugs, the team and the children are all amazing!
When I’m not at work, I enjoy walking my chocolate Labrador called Coco, going to classic car auctions and watching road cycling races.
My hobbies outside of nursery life include going on long walks and going to the gym.
I find it very rewarding helping the children learn and develop.
I am a level 3 trained nursery practitioner and I have worked with children from babies to the age of 12, and find every age group rewarding to work with for different reasons.
I have worked in childcare for 12 years, I have a BA Hons in Educational Leadership for the Children’s Workforce.
I really enjoy working as part of a team and leading others to provide high-quality care, it’s a privilege to play a part in each child’s development.
I like NFL, Netflix, food and badminton!
