Since starting at Little Elms Nursery my son has developed so much in all areas: His confidence, his language, his thought processes.
He loves Elmhurst. They listen to his needs and fulfil them. Respect goes both ways, manners are a must and I love that.
He'll continue at Elmhurst as learning is fun. The teachers love to teach and the kids learn by having a place where being a child and all that crazy imagination is encouraged.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Howard (Father of Child) on Friday 10 February 2017. Relates to February 2017.
Since my son joined the Little Elms Nursery there has been a great improvement in his activities. He has progressed beyond his year as described by his teachers and that has only come about as a result of the school he is attending. Improved speech, always wants to make his voice heard, tells me when he is not happy with activities. All things he never did before. The staff are very friendly and welcoming all the time. They take the time to know each boy individually as they are all conscious learning is not the same in every child.
I would recommend Elmhurst to any parent.

Little Elms Nursery provides a very warm nurturing atmosphere for the boys to learn. The Staff are exceptional, the kids are very attached to them. My little one has tremendously improved in his communication, learning and confidence. The main key positives are:
Parents can know the activities planned for the week on a notice board, which helps to work on the same at home.
Each week is well planned to provide a continued learning in phonics and numbers. Interactive storytelling each day helps the kids to develop the habit of book reading.
Kid's activities are logged every day as pictures/videos on an online digital learning book, parents .which is very helpful for busy parents.
I am very pleased and happy that I have chosen this place.Planning to send my younger one as well once he is ready.
