Review from Joey C (Mother of Child) published on 11 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My two kids went to Little Learners. My daughter finished in July 2025 and is now in big school. My kids loved the nursery and I loved it. As a parent it is truly hard handing your child over to others to take care of. You think who is going to keep them safe, make them feel loved when we are not there, give them cuddles, truly care about them tell them stories, love them. Little Learners did all of that for my kids. They took all that stress away because I knew they were well looked after and loved at Little Learners, Lovaine Place. My daughter who left July 2025, absolutely loves all the staff that work there while she was there for almost 3 years. This little nursery was truly a blessing to me and my family and we always highly recommend it to everyone who ask. It is not just a nursery, it is a home away from home.

I'm blown away by how much my little one has settled and grown since starting at Little Learners and in such a short time. The staff are so accommodating, not only for the child but for parents as well. I would/have been recommending Little Learners to other parents.

My daughter absolutely loves going here.
The staff are incredible always happy and smiling. My daughter was very nervous about going but when she is here she always comes out happy smiling and relaxed.
She now goes in without crying so one happy mammy.
The ladies who work here are a credit to the nursery.

Thank you to all the girls who help care for my daughter.

Review from J M (Mother of Child) published on 18 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter really struggled to settle at her old nursery setting, so it was such a relief to find Little Learners and to see her settle and come out of her shell. The staff truly cared for our daughter and really focused on her needs. They also were great about incorporating what was going on in our family life with activities and conversations at nursery too. For example, I went back to work and my daughter came home with a book about mummies going to work. We got guinea pigs and she came home with foraged flowers for them. The staff always went above and beyond. The nursery itself is small, but I feel this meant more care and attention is able to be provided to the children. Kids are not at risk of being overlooked. I highly recommend this lovely little nursery. We are certainly glad our daughter was able to attend and to have been taught by such wonderful, kind staff.

Review from Liam G (Father of Child) published on 5 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has loved his time at Little Learners. The staff all work really hard and they should be commended for their work ethic, patience, and understanding. He went from a shy little boy to an outgoing young man, and the communication from his carers was excellent. They nurtured his own interests so well and also helped him discover lots of new things to learn and talk about. They were also great at keeping his passion for books going. He was excited every day he got to go, and we also love the sense of community we feel having the nursery so close to home, and now so close to his new Primary School. It takes a village to raise a child, and I can't thank Little Learners enough for helping us create that for our son.

Overall Experience

Our son loves going to Little Learners, he asks every week when he can go back. The staff is really great: friendly, caring and gives updates on little one's learning journey at every pick-up. I particularly like that learning and activities are child-led and they seem to do a lot of reading, playing outside and crafting or painting. There are also nice seasonal activities going on. Can highly recommend it!

We have nothing but good things to say for Little Learners. My little one was so happy to go there every morning and the practitioners gave him time to adjust, always being gentle and respectful of the children. I can't recommend this nursery highly enough.

If I could give more stars, I would. Little Learners is a fantastic nursery that my son loved coming to. They were amazing with his additional needs and gave him the support he needed to thrive. I couldn’t be more thankful and happy for his experience.

Overall Experience

My child goes to Little Learners and has been going there for a while now. The staff have been really helpful when my child first started. The staff really helped my child to settle in and were really supportive. They are also really kind, friendly and very helpful, and are very supportive to both parent and child and will talk to you if you need advice and someone to talk to about your child. I'm so happy I sent my child to Little Learners, and can't wait to continue to watch my child's journey in the years she is at Little Learners, and watch her grow through her milestones.

Overall Experience

So impressed at how well the nursery has supported and brought on our little girl. She only attends two mornings a week but in that time her speech and communication skills have improved dramatically. She's socialising and learning new skills weekly! Can't wait to see what she does next with the support from Little Learners.

I would recommend Little Learners to everyone. My eldest daughter adored going and now my youngest goes and loves it too. The staff are so lovely and caring and have created an environment that is fun and welcoming. I always feel like they go above and beyond with everything they do. I know my girls will be safe and cared for as well as being given many opportunities to grow and develop, while having tons of fun.

Absolutely amazing nursery. My little boy loved attending nursery and couldn't wait to go back after the weekends. The staff are lovely and are always extremely helpful. The staff form a special bond with the children which makes leaving your children there that extra bit easier. I really couldn't recommend Little Learners enough. By far the best Nursery ever!

Little Learners is an amazing nursery. My daughter started when she was 6 months old and settled in straight away. The staff at Little Learners are friendly, approachable, and caring. They know your child just as well as you do and can talk about them with ease. They communicate well at home and use their experiences and interests from home to help fuel and extend their learning at nursery.
