My son has been going since he was 6-months-old. They are amazing staff and work with you to ensure your child is hitting targets. Their way of learning is fantastic and have a range of stuff to do. I couldn't fault them in any way.

This nursery is beyond exceptional. They can cater for all your child's needs and they make it look easy. They are loving and caring and put their heart and soul into their work. They grow your child's little imagination to find new and unusual places. They take the children's ideas and progress them
into real-life experiences. They teach love and kindness and always show it. I am so happy that my daughter has experienced this nursery it is truly the best the area has to offer.

My daughter has been attending Little Learners since she was 9-months-old and is due to leave within the next couple of weeks as she will be starting school in September. Little Learners is a fantastic nursery and I would highly recommend to everybody. The creative ideas that the staff come up with
really engage the children and ensures they thrive and enjoy their learning. There approach to care and learning is beyond excellent and over the 3 years my daughter has attended her development has come on leaps and this is all down to the staff's approach and dedication. We really will miss Little Learners and if you do decide to send your children here, you will not be disappointed.

Little Learners has been a daytime home to my son for three years, and my daughter for eight months now, and we love that our children can learn and develop in an environment not full of bright plastic toys. The surroundings and facilities encourage creativity and play, the food is freshly prepared
daily and is nutritious and I love that the children get to enjoy the large outside space. All of the staff are lovely and helpful and I have absolutely no problem in recommending Little Learners to others.

I couldn't recommend Little Learners more. Our daughter started there when she was 10 months old, she settled quickly into the baby room thanks to the staff in there. It's obvious that the staff genuinely care for the children and in turn, the children build a nice bond with them. They are always
eager to hear about what the children have been doing outside of nursery. I have never felt anxious leaving my daughter in their care and I think that speaks volumes.

My daughter started at this nursery after her 3rd birthday. She was not used to being without her parents, however, the staff at Little Learners worked hard to cheer her up for the first few weeks and play games and activities that she enjoyed. She absolutely loves going to nursery now and that is down
to all the wonderful staff and activities on offer at Little Learners. She loves to tell us all about her day and has certainly become more inquisitive about all sorts of topics since she started. We couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I wanted an alternative learning environment for my son away from colourful plastic, inspired by approaches such as Reggio and Montessori.
I wanted my child to be safe, happy and well-fed. I feel excited when I walk through the door, thinking about what adventures my child will encounter today. I walk
away glum, that I am not able to spend the day exploring through provoking learning opportunities that have been lovingly built. I know I cannot worry about my child and focus on my work as they are safe, mentally challenged and taught to take ownership of their learning through play and discovery.
I am encouraged to share my views and suggestions, all my queries are dealt with professionally and promptly and I feel included. A massive shout out to the chef, who prepares menus and cooks daily for all the tiny people. His menus also help me at home when I am trying to meal plan for my child. My child and family are, as a whole, are better for having Little Learners in our lives.

I moved my son to Little Learners after being unhappy with our previous nursery. It wasn't until he started here that I realized just how much he had been missing out on. All the staff here are fantastic and really go above and beyond for the children. They always make me feel involved in my son's learning
journey and the resources available for them are excellent, from celebrating holidays to sports days and projects/crafts to do at home. All the staff are really friendly and know the children and the parents well, they take a genuine interest in what the children have been up to outside the nursery and encourage us to share their stories and experiences.
They have always handled any concerns I've had quickly and professionally.
Its always clean and the food looks delicious and they have a fantastic varied menu. I know my son is safe, happy and well looked after when I leave him in their care which is the most important thing. I could not recommend the nursery more.

My daughter has attended Little Learners for over three years and we’ve been so happy with the care she has received. Staff are warm and friendly and really go to great lengths to make the children’s learning environment fun, beautiful and interesting. My daughter has really flourished and loves being
outside in the fabulous mud kitchen. I would definitely recommend Little Learners to other parents.

If like me your child’s start in life is one of the most important things you can do for them, then Little Learners is the nursery for you.
I found them by chance and I’m so glad I did. I ended up talking to a lady, who previously worked for Ofsted and she told me that it was one of the best she had
ever been too. Having been through the nursery system with my first child I wasn’t all that impressed having visited a lot of nurseries all over Northampton. Naturally, I was keen to have a look so I went along and I signed my son up straight away. Four years later, I have absolutely no regrets. My son has thrived here, he comes home happy and some days he doesn’t want to leave. I too have made friends, some of which I will continue to see even when he leaves. The staff are truly excellent and money is re-invested. The settings are incredible and my son even likes the meals. They really care and I can honestly say that it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

My daughter has attended Little Learners since she was 2 years old. Since our first visit to the nursery, we loved the environment, the approach and the staff. My daughter has flourished during her time there, enjoying the natural approach. She really embraced the unique environment this setting offers.
The staff are fantastic with the children and really helped my daughter settle in quickly. She formed really strong bonds with a number of staff across the nursery.

My daughter and I are so so happy with this nursery, she has a fantastic day every day always coming home with lot to say. The staff are great even to have a chat with, it's such a welcoming atmosphere. My daughter should have already started school now so she is one of the oldest so I feared she would
struggle with being with younger children but the staff have acknowledged that she would need more stimulation for the rest of her time and that's exactly what they have given her. She's so forward and confident and this nursery has only incouraged that more. Very happy.

My daughter has been attending Little Learners for four months. Staff were brilliant initially helping her to settle and reassuring me.


My daughter has learned so much since starting. She is so much more confident and talkative and has made lots of new friends.


The staff have been brilliant.

I love it when I collect her and they share funny little stories about her day and notice the little things she does.


I've been really pleased with Little Learners and the friendly and warm atmosphere X

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending this nursery since he was 10 months old (he's now a few months short of 2).


Initially, he was slow to settle like most children are but now before he goes in the morning he is already excited about going.


The staff there are brilliant and always cater to his needs.

He has developed brilliantly whilst being there.
The staff seem to understand my son's character and know what his likes and dislikes are, and always give a thorough handover at the end of the day.


Glad my partner and I chose to send him there.
Only downside (which we all know is an issue) is the parking, but with it being so close to the hospital there is limited parking anyways.

I could not be happier with the staff at Little Learners and the care they give my daughter. Each and every member of staff is genuinely interested in her and helps her explore her nutty, creative self. The room activities change daily, with special themes being explored to create productivity (loved
the troll party and all the mischief the staff stayed behind to create for the theme). I actually couldn't be happier if she were with a member of my family: they give her the same high level of care and love that I hope I give myself. Great job everyone, she is lucky to be with you!!

My daughter has been going here since 8 months (18 months now) and thoroughly enjoys her two sessions here. I love the approach to child care and the encouragement of play through natural resources, my daughter has learnt so much from the nursery and the detailed report at the end of each session is
great, I get to hear all about what she's been doing, eaten and nappy changes. All the staff are easily approachable and extremely friendly, it's such a welcoming place and that's why I send my daughter here.

Since starting Little Learners my daughter has become a very confident little girl. She loves going to nursery and interacting with the other children. The fantastic staff that look after her are very professional and caring and always tell me what she has been up to throughout the day. The nursery
has good facilities, a great outside space for the children to play in and my daughter is always telling me she has been painting or making different things. Overall I'm very satisfied with the care and attention my daughter receives at Little Learners childcare.
