Little Years Nursery Acomb

Little Years is a wonderful nursery with attentive and caring staff. They take care to update parents with any developmental progress they're noticing or worries they might have. Our child's independence and social skills have come on in leaps and bounds, no doubt down in part to the safe and happy environment they create at the nursery. The menu at mealtimes is always varied and nutritious and I especially value the importance they put on messy and sensory play. The enrollment and onboarding was also easy and stress free, and the office staff are always kind and helpful with any query we might have. I recommend Little Years to all parents I meet in the local area.

My child is very settled at the nursery. We joined in September after he was unable to settle in another setting. After this experience it has been so wonderful to feel that the staff know my son and enjoy spending time with him. He enjoys nusery and loves his keyworker. He sometimes struggles at drop off but he settles quickly and I get photo of him when hes settled if its been a tricky drop off. All the staff are approachble and knowlegedge and seem to know all of the children well, although sadly there has been a few staff leave to move on to other things recently. My son always comes home happy and messy (the sign of an excellent day!!) and sometimes doesn't want to leave. He is thriving in their care and we are very greatful.

My 2 year old boy has been at Little Years Nursery for a just over a year now and he is very happy there. Most mornings he runs in with a smile on his face to hug the staff, barely saying goodbye to me, which is very reassuring. The nursery provide updates via an app throughout the day, logging his meals, naps and nappy changes, and on pick up one of the staff is always available to spend a few minutes telling me how he's been that day.

When my child first start at the nursery it was great so welcoming and friendly. Unfortunately only a few months in cracks started to show. Very poor to no communication at all. My final straw was when I was lied to by a member of management and they tried to hold off having a meeting with me as they were expecting ofsted. Rather than just saying they couldn't currently get 3 members of staff together I ended up having a meeting with one after I sent an email in. Things never improved. Only a couple of members of staff cared but I know they are no longer there. Seemed a really nice nursery but with lack to no communication and they didn't seemed bothered so pulled my child out and is now thriving in another setting. They were always short staffed too and had agency staff in. This is just my personal experience, but not somewhere I would recommend!

I would recommend Little Years and look forward to my baby staying with them until she transitions to primary school. Thank you to the team for everything you do for us.

Little Years has been a haven for my child with special needs. Being turned away elsewhere due to his gastrostomy feedings, they embraced my son with open arms, offering empathy for our journey and excitement for his inclusion. The settling process, with its challenges like vomiting when upset, took over two months, but the staff's unwavering support and positive attitude made all the difference. I never once felt judged, only encouraged by their big smiles and willingness to try again each day. I feel safe leaving him in their caring hands, knowing he's nurtured wholly. The nursery is clean, and the food is so fantastic that my child with severe food aversion has even started eating by mouth! As an anxious mum with past negative experiences, I initially struggled to trust any nursery setting. However, Little Years' dedication and understanding helped me gradually build that trust. They were also patient with my endless questions. I wholeheartedly recommend Little Years.

The team at LYN are amazing and so good with my little boy can not thank them enough! Best nursery by far and the staff are amazing! Would most definitely recommend them to anyone thinking about getting there little one into nursery

My grandson has recently started Little Years Nursery. It is normal to be apprehensive when a 2-year-old starts nursery but in our case, our grandson has significant additional needs. The manager has embraced the challenges of caring for our grandson and now, after only a few weeks, we are much less anxious as we leave the nursery! The manager has already completed training on caring for our grandson’s peg feed, including the ability to give him his medication safely. Overall, the nursery is extremely friendly and accommodating and we feel that my daughter made the right decision when choosing this nursery for our very special little grandson.

Absolutely brilliant nursery! Thank you to the very caring staff, they put their absolute all into the children and are lovely people in general. They have a beautiful setting. The meals and snacks are of a wide variety every day, allowing children to explore foods. I cannot fault the Little Years Nursery team at all, they’re amazing!

Lovely nursery, lovely staff make you feel welcome, my granddaughter loves going. They have a great variety of things for them to do and the food is good, a lot of choice. Staff are very friendly and welcoming.

My son joined Little Years Nursery in Acomb in February 2024 and we are extremely happy with the service. My son is calm and happy at drop-off and pick-up times; he enjoys the food and the activities provided and all adults seem super sweet with him and other children. What I like the most about Little Years is the chilled environment. It's peaceful, clean and a great place to play and learn.

My little boy struggled to settle at first, but it wasn’t long before he felt comfortable. Great communication and regular review of his settling-in phase.

I love the updates we get about her during the day, and the team is always willing to listen to any concerns we have no matter how big or small. I'm so thankful for everything they do and the safe environment they provide for our baby to thrive.

Our daughter has SEN and we had a very long search to find the right place for her to go. She was welcomed with open arms into the burrow (acomb little years) and seems to be thriving here. We haven't seen her so happy to go anywhere so this is amazing. The staff and other children have all made this an amazing process for us and her and the care is above outstanding I would definitely recommend the nursery to other families.

My daughter has just started at the nursery but can’t wait to go back after we pick her up staff are amazing with her as she is special needs I believe that this is the perfect place for her to go she has already made friends and loves the staff because they are truly amazing people and deserve for that to be recognised

A fantastic close-knit nursery! They have been wonderful in transitioning my baby into nursery life and she absolutely adores going. Staff members are friendly, polite and really get to know your child, putting your mind completely at ease. I am so pleased we chose Little Years! Our baby has grown in confidence so much since attending.

My daughter started Little Years in December and as a parent who was very apprehensive about sending her the staff have made it a very smooth transition. The staff are very attentive and if I have a question they are always very happy to answer it.

Little Years Acomb have been so impressive in our short time with them so far. My 18-month-old son seemingly loves his time there, and the variety of activities, food etc he experiences is clear to see. He has some complex medical issues, and the staff have been so attentive to his needs and requirements, showing a willingness and interest to learn and implement all that’s needed for my son to thrive in the nursery. Communication from the nursery staff is excellent. I feel very confident my son is in very safe, capable and nurturing hands!

My son has had a lovely start to his new nursery. He’s had a warm welcome, as have I, and he seems very happy and comfortable when going into nursery in the morning. The setting has so much potential and I can’t wait to see it develop over time as it has a lovely, homely feel which I think it’s really nice for the little ones to feel safe and at home. So far so good for our first few weeks.

Beautiful building, decor and facilities. A really exciting and safe place for little ones. Really happy we found it!
