Little Oaks Children's Nursery

Like most parents, we visited lots of nurseries, but as soon as we walked into Little Oaks it really stood out from the rest, from the warm and friendly manager and staff to the modern, open and spacious rooms. The online observations and diaries really made leaving my son there so much easier and brightened up my day at work when an observation came through and I knew he was having lots of fun! The staff and owners really go the extra mile from welcoming you in each morning to organising events like Christmas play, mothers day magic show and sports day and ensuring as a working parent you feel your child is safe, well looked after will have a great day! My son has progressed so much due to the wide range of activities on offer and the staffs care and commitment to his development. We are moving and are so sad to have to leave and I can honestly say none of the new nurseries I visited came close to how much I loved Little Oaks, I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough!

We would highly recommend Little Oaks Children’s Nursery to anyone looking for nursery care and we feel very lucky that our son goes there.

Both my daughters attend Little Oaks, with my eldest since 2015, so we have really got to know the nursery and the staff very well over the years. I will always recommend Little Oaks because of the nurturing, family-feel to the nursery through to more practical reasons like the long opening times which suited us when we were both commuting.

Little Oaks always thrives to provide the best opportunities for the children and regularly organises trips for the children and events such a Sports day, Magic Shows and Christmas pantomimes. You also have the choice to sign up to weekly classes held at the nursery, including sports club, Jo jingles and forest school.

Preschool room have been excellent at preparing the children for their transition to school and do weekly letters and maths challenges to really engage the children.

My children both love Little Oaks, are extremely fond of all the staff and know will both miss it very much when they are ready to fly the nest!

She enjoys a wide range of activities each week (especially loving multi-sensory messy play and dancing with her friends during circle time). She recently, seamlessly transitioned into the toddler room. As a parent, I appreciate the lovely family atmosphere that Little Oaks offers; the staff team (including the owners and management team) are warm, friendly and wonderfully responsive to queries their care, organisation and commitment is second to none. I recommend Little Oaks to everyone.

We like the fact that Little Oaks is a family-run business and it's clear that the management really do care about providing the best experience possible for the children. The facilities are modern with an open, spacious feel and plenty of stimulation for the kids. We get updates on activities and progress via the EyLog website/app, which is convenient and a great way to stay in touch. Our daughter absolutely loves the wide range of activities at the nursery. She has so much fun playing with her friends and is learning new things all the time. Thank you, everyone, at Little Oaks!

We have been with Little Oaks since our little boy was 10 months old and we did have our new baby down to join in January. We are moving and this is the only reason we are leaving the nursery. This is an excellent nursery that our little boy loves. All of the staff are warm and welcoming and shower our little boy with love and encouragement. Our little boy moved from the baby room to the toddler room and has come on leaps and bounds. He has made so many friends and always talks about the staff with great affection. He is learning so much every day through both structured and free play. We are very sad to leave and cannot recommend Little Oaks highly enough.

Little Oaks is a haven of nurturing fun! My children have been cared for in the baby room, encouraged in the toddler room and prepared for school in the pre-school room. There is a genuine family feel which is reinforced through lovely events like sports day, the Christmas party, the pantomime trip and also on a daily basis through the enthusiasm, energy, creativity and patience of the team of staff at the nursery. It is fun, friendly and vibrant but with education and discipline at its core. My children have all 'graduated' happy and confident to take on the next step to school and we shall miss Little Oaks enormously!

The nursery itself is colourful, vibrant and a great environment for children to learn and develop. In the 3 months since our daughter has started there, she has become more confident in her abilities and it is obvious that she is very happy there. The staff within the baby room are incredibly friendly, attentive to the children's needs, have great relationships with the children and will always make the time to tell us about her day when we collect her. Little Oaks also sends us photos of our daughter and updates of what she has been up to that day, which never fails to put a smile on our faces. Thank you Little Oaks!

My son goes to Little Oaks and I love it!

The sports club which they run is a great example of the way they are innovating and offering the children so much to do every day.

Secondly, the team are amazing. Whether it’s the managers who welcome you in each day and do everything they can to make your work/life balance easy, the directors who are so switched on and leading a great nursery, or all the room leaders and key workers, who are just the best people in the world - all of them make you feel comfortable leaving your child for the day.

Thirdly, the environment is great. The nursery has been designed so well, and the kids love it. It's right in the centre of town, next to a car park, and ideally located for the station.

I’m a big fan of Little Oaks, and would recommend it to anyone.
