Review from Kaylie D (Mother of Child) published on 12 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery, my daughter is thriving. The provision is always well organised and I love seeing pictures of my little one engaging and having fun. The staff are lovely, my little one has a wonderful bond with her key workers. They always provide thorough feedback during pick-up. As a parent, it's comforting to have an overview of what their day has been like when they've been at nursery all day.

Reply from Jennie Eastwood, Joint Owner at Little Wellies Day Nursery Idle

I'm so pleased that you're happy. If you would like to discuss food/nutrition with the staff, please do so, as we'd love to take your thoughts on board. Thank you for your review. Linsi

Review from Stephen F (Father of Child) published on 12 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has attended Little Wellies in Idle since she was 9 months old. Watching her develop into a 16-month-old who walks, talks and interacts with people is amazing and none of it would have happened so fast without the amazing team at Little Wellies. They are very supportive and look after her so well, she knows all their names and buzzes with excitement at the mention of nursery. The staff are fantastic at communicating with me, they address any concerns and highlight my daughter's progress. I can't sing their praises highly enough.

Reply from Linsi Tidswell, Joint Owner at Little Wellies Day Nursery Idle

Aww, how lovely. Thank you for letting us know how happy you and your daughter are. Linsi.

Review from I T (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Very happy with Little Wellies, the staff, and the environment are brilliant for my little boy. The staff are so reassuring and let me call multiple times a day to check on my son as I was a nervous parent leaving him for the first time. Since he started he has gained so much confidence, he no longer cries at drop-offs and is always excited when he goes. Little Wellies was the first nursery I viewed and I knew from then that this nursery would be the one for my little boy. Can’t fault the nursery or the staff I’m very happy with my choice of nursery.

Reply from Jennie Eastwood, Joint Owner at Little Wellies Day Nursery Idle

Thank you for your wonderful review. Our team will be so pleased to read this. We agree when you step into a nursery you 'just know' when it's right for your little one. Thank you for trusting us to look after your son.

Lovely place for my kids. Love the fact that parents can attend at any time and have access to the rooms. Always happy to see my kids playing, happy and carefree when I pick them up. I appreciate the folder they keep on children, activities and their development. Gives me peace of mind that they have the right care.

Review from Holly G (Mother of Child) published on 4 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Little Wellies Nursery is an amazing place for children to play, learn and have fun. My two children have been going here for almost three years, they have learnt a lot and their confidence has grown massively. The staff and management are fantastic and have got to know my children very well. My children used to be very shy and would often get very upset leaving their parents (us) but the nursery has ensured they are welcomed each time they arrive and made them feel at ease. I especially like the outdoor facilities and the fact they get fresh air every day. The nursery are always exploring options to continuously improve in both facilities and learning, even taking the children on outdoor trips which my children have been very excited about. I would highly recommend this nursery to others, and have full confidence in the staff and care of my children here.

Overall Experience

Little Wellies Day Nursery is an amazing nursery. Since my daughter started there a year ago, she has developed so much. The staff always go the extra mile for you and children are always happy. I always get a full handover when I collect my child and the staff are so approachable if I have any concerns. I know my little girl will miss nursery when she leaves in September but I would highly recommend this nursery to friends and family as it is the best, in my opinion.

Reply from Linsi Tidswell, Joint Owner at Little Wellies Day Nursery Idle

All the staff have been amazing with both my daughter and my son. My son has additional needs and the management team has been extremely supportive and cooperative in working with us to strive for the best results for him. Special mention to two staff members who my son loves. Thank you for everything that you do for our family.

Thank you for your review. I'm so pleased that your son has formed special bonds with the ladies looking after him and you feel supported as a family. We'd love to know how you would like our cook to improve on the food. Please have a chat with the manager when you can. Thank you.

Review from R E (Mother of Child) published on 30 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has attended Little Wellies in Idle for a number of years now, and we are extremely pleased that we chose this setting for her. Not only do they provide a safe, secure and caring environment for my child to thrive socially and emotionally, but they also plan and prepare a fantastic range of fun and engaging play-based experiences which have enabled my child to develop academically too. The staff at Little Wellies are just wonderful. They show so much care for my daughter, and they all do their best to make her smile each and every day - what more could you possibly want?

My daughter loves nursery. She has built up so many lovely relationships with both children and adults, which has been wonderful to see! Thank you to everyone at Little Wellies for looking after my daughter so well!

Review from Abby R (Mother of Child) published on 29 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I currently have a child in Little Wellies Day Nursery Idle and he thoroughly enjoys his time at nursery. He takes part in a range of activities and particularly enjoys the outdoor area. He has a good relationship with the staff and they are extremely welcoming when he attends. I sometimes collect my child with his older sibling who used to attend, the staff always chat with him and seem genuinely interested in how he’s getting on a school.

I would recommend this nursery to family and friends.

Reply from Linsi Tidswell, Joint Owner at Little Wellies Day Nursery Idle

Fabulous! Yes, we love to see ex-Little Wellies children. They grow so fast. The outdoor area is lovely and the children spend so much time outside that it's great to hear that your son loves it. Thank you for reviewing us. Linsi

Overall Experience
We have been blown away by this nursery. Our son loves being here - we have never had a day he hasn’t wanted to run through the door. I genuinely believe that this setting has helped him become such a confident, clever and independent little boy.
The staff have worked with us through difficult behaviour phases and toilet training and I can’t thank them enough! I recommend Little Wellies to everyone who asks and we are still so happy that we chose this nursery.

Thank you for doing such an amazing job of loving and educating our little humans.

My son loves going to nursery, they really care for the children. I would and have recommended this nursery.
They have football sessions, wood walks and days at the park.

I also like that they have a hairdresser that comes in every 6 weeks.

Overall Experience

A lovely nursery with a family-friendly atmosphere. My son runs in every day excited to spend time with his friends and engage in different activities. We love how much outdoor provision there is, and that the staff make the effort to take the children out of the setting when feasible (local woods, idle park, etc.)

Reply from Linsi Tidswell, Joint Owner at Little Wellies Day Nursery Idle

Thank you for your kind review. I'm so pleased that your overall experience is 5 star, as the team work so hard to ensure your son has the best time whilst with us.

Review from S P (Mother of Child) published on 28 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Little Wellies is fantastic. My son has been there just over a month now and he is enjoying every minute. The transition process was very child-focused and all staff members really took the time to get to know us as a family and what our little boy needed to settle. Staff really know him well and it makes me feel so assured as a parent that I am leaving him somewhere he feels happy. My little boy loves it. He does so many activities, I particularly love the focus on messy play and outdoor play. I would recommend to anyone in the local area.

Reply from Jennie Eastwood, Joint Owner at Little Wellies Day Nursery Idle

I'm thrilled to read this! Yes, we are very focused on outdoor play and messy play! Our team leave nursery covered in mud, paint or flour every day also. It is wonderful to read that the settling in processes work so well, as the ladies work hard to get to know all the families individually. Thank you for taking the time to review us.

Review from Hannah H (Mother of Child) published on 28 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been at Little Wellies since the end of June in the baby room and they have been brilliant. She really struggled to settle when she started (and I struggled too!) but the staff were so reassuring, giving her all the cuddles she needed until she has felt more at home and keeping me informed on how she’s getting on. She loves all the staff in the baby room and has developed loads with their encouragement since she started. She loves the food and the nursery have been amazing at accommodating her food allergies from the start.

Couldn’t recommend the nursery enough!

Reply from Linsi Tidswell, Joint Owner at Little Wellies Day Nursery Idle

This means so much to the team! It is very hard to leave your little one in someone else's care, however, I'm so pleased that you've found all the baby room team to be approachable and supportive. I will pass this on to them. Thank you.

All the team are friendly, so caring and will do anything and everything in their power to make sure your little one has the best time and learns through play!

She loves playing outside and is so adventurous and has made such strong bonds with all the team and the other kids there, it’s beautiful to see!
