Great nursery, kids always coming home happy. My son was going to Minibugs and few years later we took our daughter to the same nursery. Unfortunately due to covid there was a bit less interaction with nursery staff however still amazing nursery.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Minibugs Nursery since 2019, she started off in the 0-2 baby room then went up to the 2-5 room. The staff have always been so warm and welcoming, also attentive to children's needs. She has come on leaps and bounds since she started. I would definitely recommend Minibugs Nursery.

Review from Saphira O (Mother of Child) published on 6 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My eldest daughter started in the baby room at 17-months-old and has always loved her time at nursery. She is now in the school readiness programme and is learning so much. She always has fun days and tells me all about it. She knows and loves all the staff members. My youngest daughter has attended the baby room since she was 8-months-old and always loves it. She loves her keyworker and all the other staff members and has created some lovely friendships with the other children. She always takes part in really fun activities that I get to see through the app, which is also great because I get to see what she has eaten throughout the day and all her nappies and snacks are on there; she loves all her meals that are cooked onsite by the nursery cook.

Reply from Natalie Paver, Regional Operations Manager at Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Wincobank)

Thank you so much for your lovely review of our Wincobank nursery. It is great to hear that both of your children enjoy their time with us and have built strong relationships with the staff and other children. We are really happy to hear that you find the app beneficial and that the meals cooked on-site are enjoyed by your children as we strive to offer high quality, fresh meals and snacks.

Overall Experience
Amazing nursery. My daughter started in 2020 and she absolutely loved it, I then admitted my 1-year-old son, he is 3 now and I wouldn’t change it for the world. The staff have been amazing throughout my children's journeys, as a parent I feel so content dropping them off and I know they are in the best care possible. The staff are beyond amazing they have been so good with both my children, they always leave the nursery with a smile on their faces.

Thank you so much for everything and your continuous support.

Many thanks

Overall Experience

We’ve had both of our children in Minibugs starting in 2018 and have always found the staff to be really friendly and helpful. The facilities are really good and offer children a great start. The food provides a wide variety and the communication via the parent app and the parent's social media page is really good.

Overall Experience

My son's key worker tells me all of my son's progress and setbacks in great detail which I love to know. My son loves to take the books home to read, which I find amazing.

Also, the manager and deputy manager are helping me and dad to overcome my son's ongoing issues and exploring different strategies to help us and him.

Reply from Natalie Paver, Regional Operations Manager at Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Wincobank)

Thank you for your review! It's great to hear that you feel supported by the nurseries management team and that your child's key worker has built a strong bond with your little boy and is able to effectively support his learning and development. We love that your little one enjoys the lending library and like to read at home!

Overall Experience

What is there not to say about this nursery, all the partitioners are absolutely amazing with my child, he is so well looked after and always clean just the way I send him in the morning.

The staff always go out of their way for my child and anything I ask of them it is always done.

My son celebrated his birthday and they made it so special for him and send me pics.

Would really recommend this nursery not a lot of nurseries are like this.

Review from L T (Mother of Child) published on 8 March 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Minibugs for around 18 months now and there’s yet to be a day she doesn’t come out giggly and smiley. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. They work hard to follow the children’s interests in the activities provided and really give the children a lot of time - they always explain what she has been up to. They know my daughter inside out and know what is normal and not for her and always ring me when necessary. I trust them implicitly and it’s lovely to hear and see what she gets up to at nursery on the app. Minibugs Wincobank truly is a home from home for my little lady.

Overall Experience
Overall very good nursery. Visited a number of nursery's before deciding on Minibugs.
My son has gone though some key development and nursery has certainly helped him along the way, from potty training to learning about the basic numbers/letters as well as having lots of fun.

Pricey, however all nurseries are and I can certainly vouch for the quality of this nursery.

Review from H K (Mother of Child) published on 7 December 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been attending the nursery for over a year now. He has been looked after by a number of different practitioners but he has loved every single one of them.
In particular, the practitioners have helped his speech, social and physical development. For example, at 2 years old he’s able to sing a variety of nursery rhymes as well as knowing numbers, the alphabet and more recently, colours. He’s also able to use a spoon and fork independently for eating.
Recently, he has transitioned from the 0-2 room to the over 2 years room. The team have really helped him settle into his new environment and looked after his emotional well-being through this transition.
The new nursery manager and her deputy are a credit to the nursery with their friendly and caring attitude.

There are now regular social media updates on the activities the children have been involved with.
