We have been members of the little sparks family for 7 years over 2 children. The staff are so caring and really do seem to enjoy working with the children. The nursery setting is a home from home! They are always willing to help with any problems and also put on great awareness evenings like potty training which are a great idea! My son has allergies that are so carefully looked after and make sure he isnt left out when having treats that he wouldn't be able to eat. Thanks for looking after F so well! :)
My little boy absolutely loves going here and learns something new every day. The staff are also really amazing and always do there best to support the children wherever possible. He really enjoys the water activities and tells me all about them after every session
The staff are lovely individuals and to them its clear it is not just a job , they put their heart into the place and turn our babies into Little Sparks !!
My son has had a wonderful time at Little Sparks Nursery. The staff are all friendly and welcoming. They have got to know my son as an individual and have worked hard to bring on his confidence. He has thrived whilst at Little Sparks thanks to the hard work of the Preschool team. I feel he will be leaving them well prepared for the transition to school.
Choosing Little Sparks for our son was the best decision we could have made. He has settled in beautifully and the staff are wonderful. Thank you to everyone for looking after our baby boy so well - it is much appreciated!
Fantastic nursery, all the staff at Little sparks are so friendly and welcoming. It's great that we get regular updates on the online app of our children's day and seeing their learning story with pictures of the activities they are doing makes me feel happy and grateful knowing my little one is enjoying himself, learning and exploring new things and is being well taken care off. The staff give a thorough update on my little ones day when i pick him up also. The nursery has a great layout inside and outside for the children to learn, explore and play.
My little girl has been at Little Sparks for 2 months now after spending the first 2 years at home with me/part time with a childminder who had a small group. I was super conscious of how she was going to settle, but I can say with confidence that the staff at Little Sparks have been great and she's settled in so well. She loves nursery, gets excited to go in the mornings and loves the staff and environment. She enjoys a variety of meals and snacks and indoor and outdoor play and activities. She is learning more each day and I feel that she is safe and well cared for when she is there. Any queries I have had as a parent have been answered quickly and the needs of my little girl have so far been met by all of the lovely staff. I'm happy we chose this nursery!
Little sparks look after my little boy like he is their own. He is happy, making amazing progress socially and with general development. Couldn't have asked for a better nursery. Thank you for doing what you do!
This nursery is definitely one of the best in Clayton! With a home-from-home feel both my children have settled in so well and made to be part of the Little Sparks family. With different rooms like sensory and library lodge and forest school activities, they have thought of it all. Communication is fantastic and all staff are likeable, approachable and always on hand to help
Thank you so much for the hard work!
Thank you so much for everything you do!
All of the staff at Little Sparks are friendly and approachable and will help with any problems in any way they can. I really can't recommend this nursery enough.
Great nursery and great staff, my son loves coming to nursery, when we go away he always asks when he is going back to nursery! Great communication and my son has developed in all areas and has come on lots!
This is the first nursery my son has been to. I was quite scared to send my son to nursery because no one looks after him other than me and dad. But Little Sparks Nursery and Preschool have put my mind at ease. I’m glad I went with them, they treat my little boy amazing as the other children. Because my son is a very fussy eater when he won’t eat what the other children eat they accommodate for him and go above and beyond for him. Definitely 5 stars
I feel my child is safe and well cared for. They have a great choice of meals and snacks. Also, have many different activities for my child to take part in throughout the day. I also know my child enjoys going to Little Sparks Nursery and is happy when returning home.
My little girl has come on so well since starting nursery a year ago. The staff are incredibly friendly and I fully trust them to take the best care of my little girl. They are always taking part in various different activities. I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone
Such a friendly and welcoming nursery my little boy has come on in leaps and bounds since attending little sparks. The staff can’t do enough for you as a parent and make you feel very safe leaving your children.
My daughter started here at 2 years old and is due to leave in July. I'll be so sad to see her leave, the whole team has been fantastic, she's made friends and has come on so much in all areas. The nursery is spread over three terraced houses and it really is like a home from home feel. The support from the staff is always amazing and even if you have an issue they are always on hand to help. Would recommend to anyone.
Little Sparks does everything and more. They treat our child like their own, and they do base days around their likes and needs. My daughter went into the baby room shy and cautious and now she is a whirlwind of happiness! She took her first steps at the nursery she is learning words and dancing and socialisation. The ladies not only have the children’s welfare at heart they take care of each other and do staff treats and appreciation and it’s a great example of showing how to treat each other. I can’t praise the place highly enough, if you are thinking about taking your child there don’t hesitate and sign them up, I can’t wait to see our daughter's further development with the Little Sparks family!
My little one absolutely loves going to nursery and can't wait to get out the door on a morning, bringing me her coat and bag (even on a weekend). She settled in so quickly despite my worries before she started. All the staff are fab and she loves the baby room! She eats lots of yummy grub and gets up to loads of activities indoor and outdoor. She comes home every week with something new she has learnt. She has her own book so that we can know what she's been up to and when she's eaten, slept and been changed. Plus an app with pics! Staff always have time to offer support and to tell tales of what they've been up to with the little ones. I know I can call and check in anytime which I do quite a bit and the girls are always great at keeping me informed and monitoring anything I'm worried about with my child. They've helped and supported going cold turkey with the dummy and with removing certain foods from her diet. Couldn't ask for better communication or a better nursery.
