Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Ovenden)

My son has been attending minibugs since September 2025 and hes come on leaps and bounds and his key worker was originally Beth and she was amazing and now my son has been given a new key worker in Emilia and shes kind and caring and my son gets along with her and its really nice to hear that hes doing really well...the parents evening i had with Emilia she was very enthusiastic about how well my son has been doing and it makes me trust her to teach my son the ways of life and become a caring member of society.

Id definitely recommend Minibugs for your baby/toddler as they are a great group of people and they are so caring and understanding :)

My child has attended Minibugs Ovenden since 2023, and never had an issue. My child loves nursery, has an amazing relationship with her peers and staff. They've been amazing with any queries or worries I've had as a parent and my child has become more confident since attending. Love the nursery and all staff :) They provide amazing experiences specifically open days and events such as Halloween parties/activities that parents can attend and Santas grottos. The staff go above and beyond and have created great memories for parents and children

My daughter loves going to nursery and is thriving learning lots of new things everyday. She has wonderful bonds with all staff in her room and loves to talk about them when she is not at nursery, she has lovely friendships and says she is excited to go to nursery.

My 1 year old attend Minibugs and he is absolutely thriving since starting. He is so happy there and loves the staff and other children. I feel so comfortable leaving him there as I know he is in safe hands. Would, and do, recommend to anyone.

Wonderful nursery and one I can highly recommend, I was very anxious before sending my son here due to how much I loved his previous nursery. Due to changes in my working hours I had to find a new nursery, however Minibugs and their staff have gone over and beyond and made Jacob feel safe and welcome and make me feel at ease as a result. Jacob loves his days there - always smiling on arrival and when leaving. We are always kept updated on activities he does and what he has eaten and they always seem to care and take in interest on what he gets up to outside of nursery life. The staff are really lovely, welcoming and kind, Jacob always talks of his time at nursery and his interaction with the staff which for me is a great credit too them

Have had other nurseries but never had a good experience like I have had here at minibugs!xx thanks guys for all that you do!

I was so nervous to send my child to a nursery setting as he's never fully left my side but since I put him into nursery in September, all my worries have disappeared. I'm in absolute awe with the nursery and all the staff that look after him especially since he requires more help than another two year old. My absolute favourite part of it all is the handover at pick up, being told about what's he's done that day and how much he enjoys going.

Both boys love the nursery, have their own connections with their staff members. Both learning so many things, staff are amazing, polite and welcoming, and as a whole are very helpful with each child's needs and help them unique to what's needed at the time.

Really pleased with the nursery and our childs progress made. She loves coming to nursery and we couldnt be happier with the staff and facilities. When she is at nursery, we feel comforted knowing she is safe and having fun aswell as learning. Thanks Minibugs

My daughter loves coming here, she loves all the staff and feels very safe here! She always has the best days and enjoys the food that's given to her! It is an amazing nursery I couldn't ask for a better one!

We and our daughter love all the staff at Minibugs Nurseries Ltd Ovenden, they are so kind, warm, loving and professional. My daughter loves being there. English is her second language and I can see that her every step in communicating and overcoming barriers brings them so much happiness and pride. In addition, our daughter is very shy and I appreciate how much time they devote to helping her learn the language, how much patience they have and that they don't put pressure on her. Every day she talks about the delicious food, the fantastic experience of sand, painting, body painting, playing in the garden etc. She is very happy, and so are we too. I definitely recommend Minibugs Ovenden.

The girls there have always been super friendly and helpful, the handovers are my fave that's when I get an idea of what's been going on in the day. Sometimes we don't get as detailed ones from some of the girls, but that's fine as there are so many kids under their watch, the key worker for my child goes above with her and they have such a great bond. They take notes when you ask if they could help with toilet training or anything else. They are always happy to help.

Thank you so much.

My daughter has been attending minibus Ovenden since September 2024. She was a reserved, quiet and shy child. Since attending minibus, her confidence has improved immensely. She is more sociable, knowledgeable and happy. She is excited to go to nursery and has established bonds with her peers and the staff. She has learned how to make new friendships and grow as part of a group. I can't thank the staff of minibus Ovenden enough for the care and attention they have given, and continue to give to my daughter. I could recommend this nursery enough! 5-star care, 5-star staff, 5 star establishment.

The staff at Minibugs Ovenden are professional and loving. My daughter loves them all and they show genuine care and attention to her. Leaving your child with anyone is hard at first but the staff made her so welcome and always answered our regular calls. She has now been going to daycare at Minibugs Ovenden for 17 months and she is very happy. She has learnt loads and gets to experience things she otherwise wouldn't have had the chance to if she stayed at home; painting, sand play, water play, obstacle courses, many different toy setups, sensory books, trying exotic fruits, play with lots of different children. Minibugs provide great value for money and their management administration team also helps things run super smoothly so that the nursery practitioners can focus on the children. I definitely recommend Minibugs Ovenden.

I honestly don't know what I would do without the staff at Mini Bugs, my son is currently being tested for (ASD) Autism spectrum disorder and does not speak but has his own little ways of communicating, me and my partner pulled him out of another nursery due to issues on their part and honestly, I'm glad we did he goes in no issues doesn't cry doesn't create he just loves being there. He started when he was just over a year old and I had come on leaps and bounds he was kept in the baby room for a few extra weeks and slowly transitioned into the toddlers but all the staff and management are absolutely brilliant with him, he doesn't like great fuss usually but soon as he sees the girls he's so loving and you can just tell without words how much he loves being there. They are polite, professional and honestly a credit to the nursery thank you for all you do!

My son has attended the nursery for many months now. It was a slow start with him transitioning from his old nursery to Minibugs because it was a quick turnaround with his old one closing down. The staff were amazing with helping him settle in and he soon became best friends with them all. He can be a handful at times too which I think the nursery have handled well and kept me in the loop about his behaviour and development. He loves the staff and nursery and I can't fault them at all.

My daughter is doing incredibly well at Minibugs - she’s made lots of friends, she knows and loves all of the staff and is so excited when we pull up in the car park! The staff are amazing, the best team you could ask for.

All the girls are lovely, it's one of the best nurseries I've ever been in, all the girls are accommodating to your situation and are really flexible, the atmosphere is lovely the kids all seem happy and fueled with fun, the staff are also willing to put the extra manpower in for kids with extra needs and spend lots of time getting to know the kids one to one and what makes each and everyone happy etc.

I especially love the school readiness program that the nursery has on offer. This has really taught my son to prepare for the transition and he now cannot wait to attend ‘big school’. I am confident that he will transition well due to the school readiness programme getting him used to the challenges he may face.
