Minibugs St Austell is absolutely fantastic.
Our son loves going there 4 days a week, always enters and leaves the nursery with a smile on his face.
The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful.
I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough.
Thank you for your review! We love seeing the children so happy it really makes the job worth it! Our staff love welcoming all the children and giving them the best day with lots of fun activities!
My one year boy is loving going to nursery at Minibugs Nursery St Austell, he waits by the door with his bag in the morning! It took a couple of weeks for him to settle in fully and was helped by the suggestion of bringing something familiar from home, which worked its magic from day one! It’s great to see all the activities he gets up to through the photos shared on the parent app. The nursery has accommodated requests for additional days where they could. Would highly recommend Minibugs Nursery St Austell.
Thank you so much for your review! How sweet he waits by the door to come to nursery. It's so lovely to hear how well he has settled as we appreciate how difficult this can be for the child and the family, we always aim to work with the parents to try different strategies and techniques. I'm glad...
Couldn't recommend this nursery enough! My son absolutely loves coming to nursery and is forever asking where the ladies are. The staff are incredibly welcoming, cheerful, informative and approachable. There's never a day, where I am not kept up to date with my child's day, whether that be by the app or in person and its always bonus when I receive photos as well. My 2 year old boy has made incredible progress since being there since 1 year old - he's talking, singing, can tell me about his day and is forever sharing new words that he must've learnt from there. Thank you Minibugs for the best start to my child's education journey.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, we are so happy to hear that lovely relationships have been built between not only your son and the staff but you too, our parents are extremely important to us. The app really is great especially during COVID times. Its been an absolute pleasure to be part of your little ones educational journey! All the best from the Minibugs team.
We absolutely love Minibugs! Our daughter loves going to nursery to see all the adults and have a go at all of the activities available for her! The staff are so so friendly and approachable and make us feel at ease when we drop off and pick up. Our daughter's confidence has grown so much since she has started and it’s amazing to see. Highly recommend Minibugs!

Minibus staff has helped my daughter grow out of the shell she was in and helped her become a very exploitative young lady. And for that I am very happy for what they have done for my daughter and my family. Will be sending my youngest.
Thank you for your lovely review of our St Austell setting. It's wonderful to hear how much your daughter has been enjoying her time at our nursery. It is great to hear that you'll be continuing with Minibugs with your next little one; we look forward to welcoming them to the Minibugs family. Thank you again for taking the time to review Minibugs Nurseries. The Minibugs Team.
He was very shy and found it very hard leaving us as had never been to a nursery before and had been home with us for a year due to Covid, now he is excited to go to nursery and when he comes home loves telling us everything he has been up to.
All of the staff have been so patient with him, and we are so thankful for everything they have done to help him settle in.
Thank you to all the staff at Minibugs for everything.
Thank you for such a lovely review of our St Austell setting. Hearing how much your son has developed since being with us is great!

The way my child has come on whist being at Minibugs. I get told every time on collection what he has done and had to snack on. The staff are super friendly and easy to get along with! Would highly recommend.

My son loves Minibugs! He wasn’t much of a talker before going and he was behind in certain areas. Since last year he’s really developed so much. I am really glad I choose Minibugs for him. I would recommend to anyone thinking of their child joining.
Thank you for taking the time to review our St Austell setting. It's so lovely to hear how much your son has developed since being with us.

I like the information we receive via the app which puts me at ease knowing he is having a lovely time. It is really great seeing what they have been up to during the day so we can talk about it at home.
The staff are always super friendly and make me feel at ease.
I had looked around other settings and Minibugs stood out above others with being fully child-centred, safe and informative.
There is a large range of activities covered and the children go outside in a safe play area which was part of the reason I chose this setting.
Thank you for your lovely review of our St Austell nursery site. It is wonderful to hear what makes us stand out as a childcare provider. Our team have worked tirelessly to continue to provide a welcoming and friendly environment for our little ones to start their minibugs journey with us, so it is...
Wow! Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (St Austell) is amazing, my little boy has been attending for nine months now. He is eighteen months old and happily walks in every morning and comes out smiling every day. The pictures they upload to the app look like he has so much fun and he is always smiling. They have been brilliant throughout Covid-19, allowing flexibility in sessions during lockdown and great health and safety procedures to keep the kids, staff and parents as safe as possible. Highly recommend!

My daughter has loved nursery ever since her first day, as soon as we pull up in the car park she is smiling from ear to ear. The staff are always friendly and welcoming to parents and children. The regular updates on the parent app throughout the day make me feel at ease with my daughter being at nursery and knowing she is OK.
Thank you for such a lovely review of our nursery. It's wonderful to hear how much your daughter enjoys her time here! We pride ourselves in keeping our parents and carers up to date with their child's progress, and the app is a great tool for doing this! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to submit this review. The Minibugs Team.
Absolutely amazing place and amazing people that work there. My son has the best days there. He has developed so many skills being there and is becoming so confident around others, which was one thing he struggled with. He has always had a strong love of animals and nature and he is encouraged to keep showing that love here. He has made some amazing friends and always looks forward to coming home and telling us about his day and, without fail, show the picture he has drawn for one of us. Just nice to not have to worry and to know he's being cared for by the best. Thank you for all you do. Truly amazing nursery highly recommended!
Thank you for your lovely review! It's wonderful to hear your son is continuing to grow and develop with help from our staff and that his confidence is blossoming. Our staff work hard to tailor activities to each child's interests to keep them engaged and curious about the world around them, so it's lovely to see this recognised. Thank you again, The Minibugs Team.
Fab nursery! My little boy loves it. The staff are always helpful and understanding. My little boy loves the girls (staff) and he loves the activities given to him. I have recommended the nursery to other families in the past.
Thank you for your kind words, it's great to hear your son is enjoying his time at our nursery. Thank you for recommending Minibugs Nurseries St Austell to other families, we greatly appreciate it. The Minibugs Team.
The staff at Minibugs have been amazing, and my little boy has been attending twice a week for a month and has already come on leaps and bounds. The staff worked hard to make sure he settled in and was comfortable in the environment, and he comes out happy and has had fun.
The facilities are fab, I am really happy with the level of care and the high standard and variety of food he receives during the day.
The app is fantastic, it means I know he's having a good time and is really well looked after. Couldn't recommend Mini Bugs St Austell highly enough!

Minibugs St Austell is the loveliest place for a child to grow and thrive! My son loves every day he attends and has built the best friendships, he also adores the staff. I am always satisfied that he has eaten a healthy full meal (sometimes 3 helpings). I honestly cannot thank them enough for the love and attention they give my son.
