Review from Chloe T (Mother of Child) published on 18 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little girl has attended Minibugs since April 2024. She has developed so much over the last year. Her speech, skills and development is outstanding. She absolutely loves going to nursery, her little face lights up when she sees the nursery doors. And all of the staff make her and myself so welcome. Her key worker always makes sure that I am up to date with her progress and contacts me if they have any concerns. She has a baby brother due in a few weeks. And I now have the confidence, when he's ready to attend nursery, Minibugs will be the one he attends. I love receiving updates with photos, seeing her get involved with all the activities. Amazing staff, who go the extra mile every day.

Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review. It's been a joy to watch your little girl grow and develop since joining us, and we're delighted to hear how much progress you've seen in her speech, skills, and confidence. Knowing she comes in with a smile and feels so happy at nursery truly...

Overall Experience

My daughter been here now for 9 months and she loves it. The team members are amazing, they listen to you, they are knowledgeable, friendly and honest. They follow your routine at home, my little girl has come on leaps and bounds and it shows at home as well. In just wish I brought her to nursery sooner. I can't thank the team enough. The app you get signed up to is great they log everything that happens, nappy change, food, pop photos on of your child's day etc and they don't mind you calling to check either. Highly recommended Minibugs Wincobank.

Overall Experience

My niece has been attending this nursery since she was six months old, and she is now one. We couldn't be happier with the care she has received. The staff are incredibly caring and attentive, and their communication is both assertive and reassuring. We are always kept well informed, especially at collection, where we receive clear updates on her development and daily activities. It's very comforting to know she is in such a nurturing and supportive environment. We truly feel she has thrived here, and we're so grateful to the whole team.

Minibugs has always been one of my daughters favourites place. She constantly runs into the room, full of joy and can't wait to start her day. They're always understanding of her allergies and dietary requirements and the chef makes the best meals for her. The staff are always so lovely and welcoming and supportive. Especially Darby who always greets everyone with a big smile! We love Minibugs and can't thank them enough for all they've done for us

My son started nursery in September, I was so nervous to leave him at first but the statf in the baby room have been amazing. My son loves all the staff especially cara and I couldn't have wished for a better nursery. They're all so helpful & reassuring and my son loves to go. The meals they prepare the children are all fresh and nutritious and do all sorts of activities which my son loves.

My 2 year old son has been attending this nursery since September and has made so much progress since being here. All the staff are so lovely and attentive, every day we get details of how he has been and what he's been up to and it's clear the staff really pay attention and care about the children they are looking after. Caitlin, Aimee Darby and Danielle have been incredible with my son and supporting his development over the last few months, I would recommend this nursery 100%

My little girl has been at Minibugs since the baby room and has now just moved up to the pre school room. We are so glad she has experienced Minibugs as it is a lovely nursery and the staff are all so nice and helpful. I have no worries whilst she is there and she has lots of fun doing different activities / learning all the time. We will be sad to leave at the end of the year when she starts school nursery!

Choosing a nursery for my child was one of the most important decisions I've made as a parent and I can honestly say that Minibugs Wincobank has exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I walked in for our initial tour, we felt a warmth and genuine care that set them apart.

What truly impressed me is the staff. They are not just caregivers; they are nurturing, attentive, and truly invested in each child's well-being and development.

My boy loves going to this nursery! He's 2 years old and has attended the nursery for the past year. His speech and understanding have improved greatly since going here. It's good to get updates through the day via the app on what he's been up to and eaten etc. The staff are really friendly and great with all the kids.
