I would like to thank the manager and all the staff for making his time at nursery so enjoyable and profitable. The nursery workers are so caring and understanding that he felt safe and secure, and loved his time there. He has developed into a confident well-rounded boy who is inquisitive and has a thirst for knowledge. The wide range of activities you provide have challenged him both physically and intellectually and have enabled him to reach his full potential. I am sure he will move onto school and flourish because of the excellent opportunities he has experienced under your care and guidance. Many thanks to you all.
Thank you so much for taking the time out to review us June. We really appreciate parent feedback and the reviews are shared among our staff team - this will give them all such a welcome boost especially at the present time with them all being key workers.
The manager takes such pride and care over the nursery and every single child inside. She knows every child's name and is available to them and parents when they need her. The staff are incredible and work tirelessly to keep the children happy. The key workers in our daughter's room put a huge amount of effort into settling her, she settled after her first week and has skipped in excited to start her day ever since. We never have to worry dropping her off - even if her keyworkers aren't around we all feel safe with any member of staff there. They provide fantastic meals, make sure children brush their teeth and have an incredibly holistic approach to childcare. It's an amazing feeling knowing that when you drop your child off to go to work they are looked after, fed well, and given all the attention and play they desperately need at a young age. It's the people that make this nursery, a fabulous, safe home away from home full of people who genuinely care for each and every child.
What a wonderful review! Thank you so much for taking the time out to do this for us. It is lovely to hear comments about our staff team - especially as heartfelt as your review. We have worked hard to build our fabulous team and are really proud of them all - as you say, every staff member is...
Lessons have been learned during a difficult and unprecedented period during lockdown, now post-Covid, my child practically just settled right back in with her friends and staff. Well done to all the staff for a successful and seamless re-start.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us. We are so pleased that your little one has enjoyed their time with us over the past three years, how quickly that has gone and we've had so many adventures along the way. The staff team will be overwhelmed with your compliments and we are so...
The manager and all the staff at the nursery are wonderful! My son loves attending nursery and I feel happy he is safe and having fun. The food provided is nutritional and he absolutely loves it. The setting is perfect!
Thank you for taking the time out to review us Sharon and it's wonderful to hear how much your son loves coming to nursery! Nutrition is indeed a very strong part of our ethos and it is always amazing to see all of our little ones sitting so well together around their tables with their Little Adventurers Family!
I love the nursery, my little boy is so happy there, which makes leaving him so much easier. He runs in and cuddles the staff and doesn’t look back. They do so many activities and are always outside at least once a day (weather permitting!) I don’t worry at all when he is there. The food is so varied and nutritious. The staff are all lovely and know the children very well. I couldn’t be happier with the nursery and would recommend to anyone.
Thank you, Liz - we are so pleased your little one is enjoying his time with us. Indeed, we do go out in the garden, every day come what may! We go out in the morning and the afternoon and we also often take our little ones for walks into the local community. We are so proud of the team we have and they will be thrilled to hear your review so thank you.
My son has now started school but my daughter is still at Little Adventurers. They both love it there and have such a good relationship with the staff. One thing I really love is that the staff, even if they are not in your child's room know the name of each child that goes to the nursery and it is definitely a home away from home for us now.
I would highly recommend Little Adventurers to anyone looking for a nursery.
What a fantastic review Rachel - Ginny and the team will be thrilled to hear this so thank you for taking the time out to write this for us. We are so pleased that your little boy and now your little girl is enjoying her time with her Little Adventurers family - 'home from home' is our ethos so it's wonderful that parents can feel and see this!
Little Adventurers is a fantastic nursery. Leaving your most precious person in life to be cared for by someone other than you is extremely hard and they make it a lot easier to do this. Having the confidence that your child is safe and having such a joyous time makes a working parents life a great deal easier. I have the utmost faith and confidence that my child is being well looked after while having fun with his friends. Nothing is too much bother for them and I am so grateful for all they have done for me and my family over the past three years. I will be extremely sad when my child has to leave to go to school.
What a lovely review Lesley. We feel privileged to be entrusted with the care of all our little ones and strive to build loving, supportive relationships and a sense of family - it is lovely when parents see this happening. We really appreciate your kind words and feedback.
The nursery manager is fantastic. All the staff in the nursery are helpful and friendly. This nursery really do look after every child's wellbeing, from behaviour to their diet.
Thank you for taking the time out to write this for us. We feel extremely proud of Ginny, our Manager and our whole staff team who we feel are brilliant! Thank you once again, we will be sharing all our new reviews with the team.
Little Adventurers really is a fantastic nursery. The staff are amazing and really engage the children and our daughter has built such a great bond with all the staff. We’re so comfortable leaving her there and wouldn’t choose anywhere else. The focus on nutrition and health, in general, is great with the mini athletics too recently. I think this nursery continues going from strength to strength.
Thank you for your review, Lisa - it is so lovely to hear comments like this from parents. We certainly never rest on our laurels and are on a continuous journey of development and enhancement!
Highly recommend Little Adventurers. Nice and friendly staff with an extremely professional and kind manager.
Thank you for your review, Zara - we recruit first-class, caring practitioners who understand and are passionate about our ethos. The team will be so pleased to hear your words.
We had to wait a while to get our child a spot, but it was well worth the wait. Staff are very friendly and are flexible with parents needs. Our son always walks in and doesn’t even look back, and greets us with a huge smile when we return, so we know how happy he is there. Little experience of others in the area, but would recommend Little Adventurers over all others.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us and we are so pleased to hear about how much your little boy is enjoying his time with us. We are really proud of our team and they will be delighted to read your feedback, thank you once again.
Love the visits they have from special classes e.g. baby yoga and sports activities.
Thank you Rachel, it's lovely to know that parents appreciate all the extra- curricular - we have some lovely things coming up this year!
I am extremely happy with the nursery. My son loves it and I feel comfortable leaving him knowing he will be in good hands. The staff are all very friendly and always take the time to say “hello”. I am proud to tell people my son goes to Little Adventurers.
Thank you so much for this review Sabha, we appreciate all feedback which we share with our whole team.
Leaving my little one to go back to work has been one of the toughest decisions, and things, I have had to do. Little Adventurers and its staff have made all the difference in making this transition as smooth as possible. I had a great experience starting from the registration process down to the first day of starting nursery. They understood how difficult it was for me to leave my child and were accommodating and supportive throughout my settling in period. The activities littles ones get exposed to are very stimulating and the care they give them has been great. The food they serve is healthy and I can say that my little one actually enjoys going to see his pals there.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review for us Adriana and we look forward to lots more adventures with your little one at nursery.
Such a wonderful nursery!
Thank you so much, Nicola, for writing this testimonial of our nursery. We are so pleased that your children love coming to nursery and that as a parent you would recommend us. I hope they both enjoy all the Christmas festivities over the next couple of weeks!
Our little boy loves every second at Little Adventurers and has so much fun. He can't wait to get in the door every day. The food is varied, as are the activities. The staff are amazing and always have time to talk to you.
Thank you for completing a review for us. All the team appreciate parent feedback and it's lovely to hear your little one is thriving with us. We look forward to many more adventures with him.
I cannot praise this nursery high enough. They take such good care of our children. With amazing activities and a real depth of experiences.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review Angela - we aim to give children as many experiences as possible and as you know there is a lot of learning 'in the moment' as we follow children's fascinations. Our team will be thrilled to hear another lovely parent comment. We look forward to lots of summer adventures! Thank you for taking the time to do this.
My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery, she even wants to go at the weekend! All staff are fantastic, they are very caring and approachable. My daughter has special dietary requirements and they adapted the menu to include her as much as possible eating the same as the other children. I cannot recommend this nursery enough - it is just fantastic!
It is wonderful to hear how much your little one loves attending Little Adventurers! We are very proud of our staff team who have all been carefully selected for both their professional qualifications and their personal qualities and approach to early years education. Our nursery cook will be...
Brilliant nursery, my son always runs in, excited to see his friends and get his fun day started. He is nurtured and cared for to the highest standard and his love and affection for the staff demonstrates how happy he is. Would recommend to anyone.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review Rachel, we are so pleased that your little one enjoys his days of adventure with us! We always share our nursery reviews with our staff team and they will be really pleased to hear your comments.
I really love the nursery. The manager is amazing. My little boy has so much fun and is progressing well. I would really recommend to anyone.
We are so pleased that your little one is enjoying his time with us and you can clearly see his progress. The most important part of our nursery ethos is that children are nurtured and cherished as they grow and develop because we believe that when a child feels safe and secure they will thrive in their learning. Many thanks for taking the time out to write this review for us.

Meet the Team (4)
Nursery Manager Ginny has over 30 years of early years education experience. She has been a manager for the past 20 years and her never ending enthusiasm and passion shines through, making her one of the most inspiring and dynamic leaders in the industry. Little Adventurers Nursery has been developed with Ginny’s ethos and vision and is very much a home from home where children are encouraged to enjoy real experiences and routines in the nursery are flexible and spontaneous. Ginny is qualified to Level 6 Early Years Professional Status, is one of the safe guarding officers as well as the Special Educational Needs Officer for the setting.
Charlotte has been working very hard over the past 2 years, studying and recently achieving her level 5 in Early Years & Childcare. During that time, Charlotte has also been promoted from Assistant Deputy to Deputy Manager and she is based in our under 2’s room. Charlotte has been with the setting since before opening as one of the core team members. “Joining Little Adventurers has reminded me why I went into childcare 13 year ago; to give high quality care in a loving and supportive environment. Seeing the change in our little ones from when they first arrive and settle; supporting them as they develop all their skills in prime and specific areas; watching them grow in confidence and enjoy their time at nursery before transferring to school. There’s lots of flexibility at this nursery and it has a real family feel. Ginny is my inspiration with her knowledge and her practice.”
Kerry has been a member of the nursery team since the beginning and brings over 13 years of early years experience to the setting. Kerry is our Assistant Deputy Manager and was previously our Deputy Manager prior to her maternity leave. Kerry’s expertise is with our under 2’s age group and she is passionate about giving them a creative and happy time at nursery, “So much of their brain development happens at 0 to 2 years and this has a direct link to their likely outcomes at age 5 and above.” Kerry’s team say that she thinks outside the box and has a calming presence in the baby room. Kerry is also studying for her Level 5 qualification and has previously been a deputy manager. Talking about why she loves Little Adventurers Nursery, she says “It’s simply that children are always put first. We have the flexibility here to make them happy.” Kerry now brings her own little baby to nursery and what better testimonial can there be!
Lewis brings over 20 years experience of early years training to Little Adventurers. He has previously been in a deputy manager role and has Level 3 Business & Management Training. Lewis said that when he first went into childcare his passion was just about working with children but now he has developed that further and (along with having the experience of 4 of his own children) believes in keeping children happy and extending their interest through play. Lewis says, “Working at Little Adventurers has been one of the best supportive environments I have come across. It feels like a family here and it makes it a pleasure to continue my journey in early years education.” For us, it is great to have a male practitioner here at Little Adventurers and Lewis is such a hit with all our little ones!
