Since my little girl started here she has thrived! Staff are brilliant with her, excellent at keeping the parents up to date throughout the day with plenty of information about what she is getting up to during the day! Amazing setting for little ones, so much so I'm transferring my eldest child too! Can't recommend enough! *****
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are so pleased to hear how well your child is doing
Every room so far has been spectacular and helped leaps and bounds with development I couldn't recommend them more! 5* through and through
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback and we are pleased your child has settled into their new room so well
I would love to extend my sincere appreciation to Minibugs Nursery St. Austell. My little one has been so good this past few weeks. He is more interactive when it comes to playing toys and pretend plays. He doesnt get easily bored. Sleeping wise, they follow our sleep pattern so it is not disrupted during nursery days. He enjoys alot when he said he is going to the big room. He even knows all the staff names. Telling me his day in nursery which is very good to a mom who wants to know what happen.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are pleased to hear you are told all about the day
Each room has supported his development and we have felt at ease leaving him.
He loves being in the pre school room and is thriving.
Any queries have been dealt with promptly and professionally.
We also really appreciate your kind words...
Never had any issues with any member of the team. My son loves it there and is very fond of the team. Due to health issues we have had to keep him away sometimes due to hospital operations etc and needed to discuss his place with Steph. Steph has been really good and helpful since day one. Not a bad word to say about the nursery and the staff at all!
We understand how challenging it can be navigating health issues and hospital visits, and we're really pleased that...
We love Minibugs. My child is so comfortable and happy there. She comes home every day telling me all about the fun things she's done and the activities she's taken part in. It's really nice hearing how much she enjoys her time there.She's always asking if she's going nursery everyday because of how much fun she has. She's also found a strong friendship group in her class. Brilliant communication from the staff too
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! Were thrilled to hear how happy and comfortable your child is at Minibugs. Its wonderful that she enjoys the activities, has made great friends, and looks forward to coming in each day. Our team really appreciates your kind words and were so glad the communication feels strong and supportive.
The nursery are brilliant and really accommodating when it does to my child. Always going the extra like for my child and us as parents really appreciate this.management are very good. Staff are also welcoming.
Thank you for your feedback, we are very pleased to hear that you are enjoying the nursery
Losing stars sadly. The issue of space not dealt with. Car park space for pick up at 12.30pm is a nightmare,. Won't keep strollers in 2s room & foyer in 2s room is so tiny for parents to wait. The unit next door should make these extra spaces, maybe they themselves should relocate which gives nursery that additional space. The status quo is not viable, must not be ignored any longer as it will put off future parents sending their children there. Its a shame as all staff & chef are amazing and my children love going there. But please can all afternoon staff in 3s have a proper plan for children using 'bathroom'. I thought the issue with my daughter got better but gone backwards & when query it, some staff, not all, answer back in a way that gives impression of 'that's the way it is' or 'its not the end of the world if not dry all day' & makes me feel bad for asking which shouldn't happen. Not too much to ask for to double down on making sure my child is dry all day.
Thank you for your feedback , Please see the responses below to the issues you have raisedThe nursery is becoming increasingly busy which then also impacts the footfall in the car park and waiting areas, we are not able to acquire additional space to improve this however the car park is being...
She comes home so excited to tell us about her day, playing outside, reading books, drawing and making, imaginary play and songs they have sung! She comes home and imitates things like "bucket time" that they do there.
Any issues we may have had are always dealt with quickly and professionally. We really get the sense the staff genuinely care about our little girls well-being and the huge presence that she has there.
Handovers are always detailed and positive.
I cannot wait for my baby to start there later this year!
Thank you for the lovely feedback about your daughters experience of the nursery, it means a lot to the team that you are all happy with the care you receive
My daughter has been attending minibugs since she was 2, she will be turning 4 this year and is in the pre-school room. The change that we have noticed in her is wonderful and we truly have the staff to thank for that. She has become confident, more imaginative and she speaks so fondly of her time at minibugs. I feel so confident in her being there 3 days a week because I just know how much fun she is having. They also encourage her to eat foods that she often will not entertain at home and over the last 6 months she has been enjoying more of a variety of healthier foods both in nursery and at home and again we really do have minibugs to thank for this! I will recommend this nursery 1000%
Thank you for the lovely feedback, we are so pleased to hear your daughter is enjoying her meals so much and that it is supporting you at home too
My son has been at mini bugs for the last two years and he absolutely loves it. He is a fussy eater and the staff are going above and beyond to make sure he eats something and encourage him to explore other foods. The activities are so varied and every day my son has been he has always had a smile on his face. The ladies are so supportive and really do care and take the time to update you on daily activities and with what's coming up. I would 100% recommend this nursery.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are so happy you feel supported and your child is exploring other foods
My son has not long started and I have been very happy with how well he's doing. They have helped a lot to settle him. They have been so supportive of his speech and the difficulties he's going threw. The staff are lovely and the senco worker has been amazing too. I'm so glad I chose this nursery for my son's journey.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are so pleased your son has settled into nursery well.
My son has come on in leaps and bounds since starting here, happily eating his food now and enjoying new toys and making friends the staff are amazing in the baby room always giving you a handover and always praising the children.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are so happy that you have had such a positive experience.
My son joined the nursery in September. He loves it. The staff are very calm and welcoming. Always smiley and make my son feel very relaxed. He was very nervous about starting a new nursery with new children but it's like he's been there for years now.
Thank you for your lovely feedback we are so pleased that you have all settled well into nursery life.
All staff are absolutely amazing they are all so welcoming not only to the children who are attending but to the parents as well. All the staff are so understanding and patient and take the time to listen to not only your child but to you as a parent.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, it is very much appreciated and it is important to us that we support the family as a whole.
My daughter started at Minibugs in January 2025 and has blossomed, she loves the time she has there and is getting so confident. The staff there are so welcoming, would recommend Minibugs to others, can not wait to see how she progresses with them.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are so pleased to hear that you are enjoying your experience with us and have settled well.
My little one loves nursery days. She is always excited to get in and play. Her days are jam-packed with fun activities and she always has a great day. The staff are friendly and caring. I always leave feeling at ease that she will be happy and well looked after.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are pleased to hear your child enjoys the activities.
My child has been attending Minubugs since she was 9 months old. She has enjoyed each room, had brilliant transitions and is now in the SR room. The staff are approachable and come up with amazing activities. My little one loves coming to nursery, especially getting involved in messy activites. It's been brilliant for my little one to explore, learn and build relationships with other children and adults.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, it is always lovely to hear about the journey each one of our little Minibugs has thank you.
Minibugs St Austell is a fantastic nursery and did wonders for my little boy's confidence who is now in school. My daughter is now also at Minibugs and loves it, the ladies are so great with her and she enjoys going in. Would highly recommend Minibugs to anyone.
Thank you for your lovely feedback about our nursery it is very appreciated, we are so pleased to hear how happy your daughter is with us.
Every time I have taken my son in and pick my son up, I have found all the staff to be friendly. They also tell me how my son's day has been which I find helpful in knowing he's had a great day. I also love the app as you get all the information about your child's day. I love seeing the pictures of my son, the activities he's done during the day, also good as a keepsake. My son has been enjoying nursery so far since he's started.
Thank you for your lovely review, we are glad you are happy with everything.
