Little Vines is a wonderful nursery that nourishes children with the most caring staff who provide a fun, warm and stimulating environment. It was a joy to see my daughter skip into nursery each session and to see how they helped her grow, particularly emotionally with their use of their curriculum for emotional regulation.
It is wonderful to hear how your daughter has grown in her ability to understand her feelings and self-regulate. The use of our social-emotional learning curriculum is a fantastic tool for the children to understand and express their feelings.
Amazing nursery, my daughter is very happy. I really like the different activities they do and the time they spend outside. All the staff are always friendly and helpful and my daughter's development has thrived in this environment.

It is so positive to hear that your daughter is thriving with us at Little Vines Nursery. We pride ourselves in creating an environment both inside and outside in which children can grow and blossom.
Exceptional delivery of education to the little ones. So much care, not only for the children but for the parents too. Supportive informative sessions along with open door policy and transparency.

Exceptional delivery of education to the little ones. So much care, not only for the children but for the parents too. Supportive informative sessions along with open door policy and transparency. I'm so fortunate to be able to send my daughter to Little Vines. She heads into reception in September and have no doubt that she is fully prepared and ready, thanks to all the amazing work the staff do at Vinehall. Food quality is amazing. The 50-week wrap-around care is an absolute God-send. A huge thank you to Vinehall.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. Our dedicated Little Vines Team is always striving to work above and beyond to ensure the highest care and education is provided for the children as well as supporting and creating positive relationships with parents/carers.

We could not be happier and talk more highly of Little Vines Nursery. The setting is exceptional both inside and out and the staff are fantastic. Our son has made wonderful friendships and comes home happy and full of chat telling us what he has been up to during the day. As parents, we receive updates from teachers and pictures so we can see how well he is settling in and what he has been up to - which gives us fantastic prompts for conversation at home. We cannot thank and praise the staff highly enough for making us feel welcome, but also for helping our son settle in so quickly - he loves it!
Best wishes

Little Vines has everything you would want from a nursery. A welcoming atmosphere, exceptional staff and beautiful surroundings for your little one to explore. Our daughter loves it and skips into the nursery every day. We have regular updates plus events that help build the Vinehall community. From walks around the grounds to baking indoors, she loves the combination of outdoor and indoor activities. We feel very lucky that we have found such a wonderful learning environment.
Thank you so much for your review. It is so lovely to hear that your little one is loving being part of our Little Vines Nursery.

We have been very pleased so far in our selection of Little Vines Nursery - the staff have gone above and beyond to settle in our son with him being the youngest in the school. He has thrived in the short time of attending and thoroughly enjoys his sessions with his teachers. We look forward to many years of learning ahead with Vinehall.

Our little one joined the nursery this September after spending a year at another nursery. I would thoroughly recommend Vinehall. Her development in the last few weeks has been amazing. She loves going to nursery and always comes home full of energy after a great day of learning. The grounds are beautiful and our little one loves getting to explore them and particularly loves her gym lessons. It's so varied and targeted to aiding development. We're very happy that she's settled so quickly.

I am very satisfied with Vinehall. My child is happy, enjoys every day and is learning more each week. The staff are nurturing and always welcoming to parents and children. The atmosphere of the school is excellent. The class sizes are a particular highlight leading to each child being known and developed. This is a major draw. Use of the grounds is good my child often tells us where they have been. Management is positive always visitable and welcoming.
My son has settled so happily at Little Vines Nursery. The early days of separation were handled so sensitively and he loves his friends and teachers so much - he can't wait to attend every day!

The teachers and support staff are all absolutely excellent at providing a stimulating learning environment that is safe, secure and exciting for our 26 month old daughter. She has progressed significantly since starting nursery 3 days a week and is now positively approaching all the varied experiences that Vinehall organise. Our daughter has a milk allergy and yet the catering department ensures that she receives a dairy free lunch to enjoy after all the exhausting activities! Overall I would rate Little Vines Nursery as outstanding and the best possible start to nursery school.

We honestly could not be happier with the staff and provisions of Little Vines Nursery. My husband and I often say how great it is to know that our child is in the best possible place, and we have 100% peace of mind that they are in the most caring, nurturing and loving environment. With the most wonderful staff utilising such a beautiful setting, we really can’t fault it. My daughter genuinely loves attending and speaks so fondly of her caregivers. We are super happy to have found Vinehall for both our children and feel it really is worth every penny. Without a doubt 5 stars all around!

Our son started at Little Vines in April 2022 and he is a different child, having transferred from another nursery. He can't wait to get through the door in the morning and he has already become fond of the staff, referring to them by name. The updates from the nursery via the Teams App are much appreciated and very detailed, attaching helpful photos. There is good verbal feedback in addition and ideas given as to how you can support the nursery in the learning experiences they are providing. The facilities and general environment couldn't be better and the learning often takes cues from the what the children have expressed an interest in - this week they are looking at constructing an outdoor building yard as the children have all enjoyed using 'real' tool type toys. The food offering is excellent and I've seen photos of my boy eating a very well balanced lunch. I could write about this place for hours - it is simply wonderful and I couldn't be happier for my son.
Thank you for your review. It's so wonderful to hear about your son's transformation since joining Little Vines Nursery.
Our daughter absolutely adores Little Vines Nursery! It is so accommodating in every way, the environment is faultless.

Little Vines Nursery is a wonderful place. The staff are all so kind, caring and nurturing. They really get to know and understand each child, and this creates an environment where children can blossom. I also really appreciate how much the children’s emotional well being is thought about and understood by the staff, creating a wonderful sense of safety and belonging for the children. The nursery itself is a lovely space with access to an outdoor area, and the children also go on lots of adventures in the wider school grounds. There are always lots of exciting and stimulating activities on offer. Our little girl runs in very happily on nursery days and is very disappointed not to be going in on non-nursery days!
Reading about your experience, and how your daughter is full of excitement when coming to Little Vines Nursery, makes our Nursery team feel very happy!
Thank you.

Qualification:Early Years Foundation Degree
A little bit about me:I have worked within the Early Years sector for over 30 years and believe that every child should have the opportunity to play, learn and have fun. No two days are the same here at Little Vines which always makes the job challenging and keeps me on my toes!
I began my journey training as a Nursery Nurse and have had the opportunity to work in all types of settings, one of which was a Montessori school, where I gained a great deal of experience and knowledge. I am extremely proud to be the Head of Little Vines Nursery and Kindergarten here at Vinehall School and be supported by such nurturing, experienced, passionate and fun Early Years Practitioners.

A little bit about me:I began my Early Years journey as an apprentice, which gave me a strong foundation and a real appreciation for hands-on learning from the very start. Over the past 10 years, I’ve built on that experience, developing a deep understanding of how children under five learn and grow. I’m committed to continually developing my practice, always looking for ways to learn and improve. I’m passionate about creating a warm, stimulating, and nurturing environment where every child feels supported and able to thrive.
Interests outside of Nursery:Travel, woodland walks and time with family.

Qualifications: EY Level 3, Level 4 Forest School Practitioner
I have worked with young children for my whole career, wearing several different hats! Firstly, as a creche manager, riding instructor and children's book illustrator, before moving to be head of a school-based Nursery, where I took great delight in watching many children embark on their learning journey, so much so, that I was there for ten years!
I am absolutely delighted to now be a part of this fantastic, committed, passionate and highly skilled Early Years team at Marlborough House Vinehall's Little Vines.
Outside of work, you will find me in the garden (or the greenhouse) or with my nose in a book. I have a large family of my own and love nothing more than us all being together around the table, sharing special times and making memories.
