I can not fault this nursery in any way shape or form. They have been amazing with my little boy and ensuring he gets the care he needs. He loves being at the nursery and loves all the practitioners. I can’t recommend this nursery enough. You are always kept up to date with the ongoing at nursery daily and future events. They also do great family days giving parents and siblings the opportunity to come into the nursery and get to know everyone better. Lots of different facilities are available for the children to develop upon their development/learning in different ways. The management are very understanding and helpful with all circumstances if you ever need help as a parent or have general enquiries always happy to help. Amazing nursery with a fantastic team of practitioners.
Thank you for your lovely review of our Ovenden setting! It's wonderful to hear how you feel about our staff and the impression they have made.
Outstanding care received for my child, especially while he is having a bit of a tough time with home life. The staff are aware and keeping an eye on him. They keep me updated on his meals and how he is getting on.
Thank you so much for your lovely review of our Ovenden setting.
The nursery looks after and teaches the children very well. My son has come on loads since being at nursery I have been told by a health visitor that he is advanced with his speech and everything else. All I can say is they are brilliant.
Thank you so much for your review of our Ovenden setting, it's lovely to hear how your Minibug is doing developmentally!
Amazing nursery my little girl loves it! The staff are fabulous and wouldn’t take her anywhere else. She has come on leaps and bounds since starting in September 2021. And will be very sad when she has to leave to go to school.
Thank you for your lovely review of our Ovenden setting! We're so pleased to hear about your positive experience with Minibugs.
Minibugs Nursery is a very good establishment that has helped massively with progression of my two-year-old son. His talking has come on massively since he started towards the beginning of the year. The staff are always on hand with any questions and issues we may have and will help with guidance. My son loves this nursery and seems very happy and settles down here. 10/10 would recommend.
We absolutely love Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Ovenden). Due to shift patterns being in the mix, we really struggled to find a nursery for our little babs until we found Minibugs. From the initial phone call, the staff were flexible, supportive and welcoming. The first view was amazing; my very cuddly and clingy baby was quite happy to be left in a room of children and smiley staff that gave her so much love and attention so that I could have a proper tour around the building and learn about the exciting things happening in the nursery. The meals are fantastic and varied - I don't think there's a meal yet that my baby hasn't liked! Since being at Minibugs, my baby has grown in confidence; she's much more independent with her finger food and exploration. She's become an absolute conversationalist and will blabber away her gibberish to anyone who'll listen. Minibugs really put our babe at the centre of her care and work around her needs. Go team, Minibugs!
Thank you for such a lovely review of our Ovenden setting. It's wonderful to hear how much your little one has progressed since being here. We work hard to ease parents' worries and understand that it can be a difficult decision to make choosing a nursery. We pride ourselves on having strong parent...
My son has settled in very well, the staff are great.
A second choice warm meal menu for fussy eaters would be nice.
Would recommend to friends and family.
Thank you for your review! It's great to hear that your little one has settled in well and enjoys coming to nursery. The team will consider your comments around meals times when making further improvements to our offer so thank you for taking the time to share your views and helping us grow.
My son loves Minibugs! Being born in 1st lockdown I was apprehensive about sending him to a nursery but also about him socially. He started at 18 months old (January 2022). The staff from the start were very reassuring, they answered all my questions and concerns (and continue to do so). I love their setup and especially the outdoor areas as I really believe in kids being able to run and have fun. Every other nursery were just concrete yards, but Minibugs has the meadow which I love. My son is always sad to leave. His development has flourished and he is learning a lot. Highly recommend.
Thank you for taking the time to review our Ovenden nursery! We're very happy to hear that the staff have been able to effectively support the transition from home to setting during such difficult times and have been able to ease your worries. We pride ourselves on our parent partnerships and the...
My daughter started nursery here in January 2022, she has settled in really well and is really happy being here. The staff are really helpful and inform me how my daughter has done every time I collect her. I know I can approach staff should I have any concerns.
Thank you so much for your review! We are so happy to hear that your little one has settled in well at nursery and loves coming. We are equally happy to hear that the team have been supportive throughout your time with us, parent partnerships are extremely important to us and we hope the team can continue to effectively support you and your little one!
I was extremely nervous about my children starting nursery, like any parent would be, but when I visit I was instantly at ease with every single member of staff I met. It’s extremely clean with fantastic equipment to stimulate all ages. My children, daughter 8 months and son 3 years old settled instantly with no issues. Now they are there 3 days a week, communication is amazing and in 3 days my children have already started forming bonds with the staff. I am so happy that my children are happy. The variety of food is impressive and I am just so happy all-round. My only regret is not putting my 3-year-old in this nursery sooner as I have always been too anxious to put him into a nursery, so I have struggled to work from home whilst looking after him. Honestly, if you are looking for a nursery to put your child in, you need to go take a look for yourself. Thank you everyone at Minibugs Nurseries Ltd, but the member of staff who has been my main point of contact from our first visit is an amazing lady. Amazing team.
Thank you for your lovely review of our Ovenden site. It's great to hear about how positive your experience has been at our setting and with our team. We're so glad to hear how your little ones are settling in and that they're enjoying their time with us. Here at Minibugs Nurseries we pride...
My son absolutely adores this place. Since the first day, he was welcomed and quickly integrated to the nursery routine. He always looks forward to attending the nursery, which is very reassuring for us as parents.
He leaves home with a smile on his face, knowing that he will have a fantastic day ahead.
He is also very excited to share with us what he done, learnt and enjoy during his day in the Minibugs. His days are full of creative and developmental activities that are well balanced with play and physical activity.
The team is very experienced, but also kind and caring that is evident in each interaction we have.
My son absolutely loves his nursery staff.
I highly recommend the Minibugs.
Thank you for your lovely review of our Ovenden site. It is wonderful to hear how much your son is enjoying his time at our nursery. Our team pride itself on coming up with new and imaginative activity ideas to help keep our little one's development thriving. Thank you again for your kind words,...
My son loves this nursery and really enjoys going there. I find all the staff really polite and caring toward us. Also, I hoping for his little brother to join Minibugs soon too.
Thank you for your review of our Ovenden site. It's wonderful to hear that your son is enjoying his time here, and we will be looking forward to welcoming his younger sibling to the minibugs family. Thank you again, the Minibugs Team.
My daughter loves going to Minibugs. Staff are all lovely, really helpful and very welcoming. So glad I chose this nursery for my daughter, I know she is well cared for by all of the staff here. Definitely 10/10.
Thank you for your lovely review of our Ovenden site. It's great to hear that you're confident in your choice of nursery and that you feel your daughter is supported and cared for. Our staff strive to deliver the best possible care for our little ones so it is lovely to see this recognised. Thank you again, The Minibugs Team.
Minibugs social media is always informative, helpful with tips and tricks of activities and ideas for my child's well being.
I'm pleased to say MiniBugs celebrate most cultural occasions and festivals.
Having 2020 being the year it has this could be why but Minibugs could improve by planning some out of nursery trips there are many local parks walking distance or bus, I would happily pay for 1 trip a month to parks, petting zoos or other curricular activities.
Thank you for your lovely review, we really appreciate your honest feedback. We have put a huge investment into renovating our newest site, and we are so proud of what we have achieved in such a short amount of time, so it's lovely to see this is being recognised! Due to Covid-19, we had to...
They were great with my little girl when she started and I haven't had one bad day from my little girl, she loves going to Minibugs and has grown so much. They are very professional and are great with the children. I would highly recommend this nursery, they're great.
Thank you for such a lovely review of our Ovenden site. We love hearing how much our 'Minibugs' love coming to nursery. We are pleased to hear your daughter has settled in so well and that she is so well cared for during her time with us and is developing into such a happy confident little girl....
Staff are very friendly and very welcoming. My child loves going. Little slow at opening the door but when they do still very welcoming for my child to go straight in. My child has made some lovely friends and is very close to a couple of the staff there. One happy child = happy mummy.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are really pleased that your child loves coming to our nursery. We are always looking for way to improve out setting so your honest feedback is really important to us. Many thanks again The Minibugs Team
I am a lot happier when you take over, with the kids getting proper homemade food and more activities happening. Staff members very friendly and always helpful. I would just like my child to learn to write letters more.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It is great to hear that our staff are very friendly and helpful. We also strive to provide our Mini people with nutritious meals daily. Thank you again! The Minibugs Team.
High-quality private nursery. Feel like both of my children love being there. They have such caring staff that go above and beyond for every child they take care of. For my daughter's birthday, they made a cake, did a card and banners and balloons. Also did gifts for her. My son loves one member of staff in particular who works there.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. I am really pleased to hear that your daughter enjoyed her birthday and that you feel the team went that extra mile. It is also lovely to hear that your son enjoys the setting. Continued feedback really does help us make our nursery that extra special place, so thanks again.
We have been very happy with Minibugs since they took over recently. They have been making some much-needed improvements to the building and keeping us updated with what is happening. As a parent, you worry about leaving your child in someone else's hands but to know he is excited to go and that they meet his needs is amazing.
Thank you for lovely review. We have worked hard since taking over the nursery to make improvements and will continue to do so moving forward. It is really important to us that we keep parents involved in every stage of this so your feedback is really helpful. Thanks again for your review
