I feel like Little Lions is a one big family where everyone is cared and loved.
Thank you so much for your beautiful words! Were truly delighted to hear that your daughter is happy at Little Lions. Our team works hard to create a caring, joyful environment, and knowing that it feels like a big family to you means the world to us. Were grateful for your trust and so happy to be part of your childs growth and happiness.
All the staff at little lions go above and beyond to provide the best child centred support, enabling them to thrive. They are all always happy friendly and the children run in as soon As the doors open, showing how much they enjoy the space and their time at this nursery. My older child attended up until she left for reception, they helped her with her speech amongst other things, my son is sen and they are really good with him helping as well with his speech and his behaviour whilst allowing me a relief knowing he is safe. they're always there when I need advice and I am 100% grateful to them for all the help and support they provide to both my children and myself. Thankyou little lions you're doing a wonderful job.

The school has really taught him a lot of things which he practices at home, like using the washroom by himself and being able to use words like, I mean nice or friendly words, like thank you, you are welcome and appreciated when given something. Socialising with others around him makes him comfortable. The school is the best for every child to attend.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! Its wonderful to hear how much your child is growing in confidence and independence, both at nursery and at home. Were so proud to support children as they develop important life skills, like using kind words and learning to take care of themselves....
Lovely and friendly nursery, staff are very welcoming, communication is great and my child is very happy here and learning so much. It’s been a wonderful and positive experience so far, I highly recommend this place.
An absolutely outstanding nursery, the staff are all fantastic, caring and compassionate to each and every child. Two of my children have attended this nursery and I've always been pleased with the childcare services they provide. I would recommend this nursery to anyone!
Fab nursery. Two of my children have attended and had positive experiences. Staff are exceptional and always happy to offer advice and help wherever needed. Also, great selection of learning activities for the kids.
Our daughter has the best time there. She comes out so happy and is always wanting to go when it's the weekend.
Overall, I really recommend this setting and can't wait for her to have at least another year there.
Thanks so much for leaving a review. We absolutely love looking after and teaching your daughter, she makes us laugh daily! We can’t wait to watch her grow and flourish over the coming year!
This is a fantastic nursery. My daughter joined this nursery at 24 months old. She learns something new every day and I can see she really enjoys going to Little Lions. Also, the outside playing area is big that is really appreciated. Even though my daughter was the youngest one in the nursery, the staff are professional to help her join in activities. They are kind and friendly.
My daughter previously went to this nursery for two years and she was well looked after and had a brilliant relationship with all teachers. My son is now going to the nursery and has been enjoying himself. He runs into the nursery and is very happy to be there. He always comes out smiling, I know he loves it there. The staff are very helpful and are always there if you need them. Brilliant nursery!
Absolutely amazing with the children. My son settled in so well and is so happy to attend. Very polite and keep parents up to date with everything needed. Would highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your review and kind words. We are so proud of the way he has settled in, he’s a superstar!
Lovely place. They have done a fantastic job with both of my boys. Lovely staff, lovely place, couldn’t fault it, very professional.
