The nursery staff create a happy, stimulating safe environment for my son. He enjoys his time at nursery very much. The team have supported us in managing his allergies and respond well to feedback. It is obvious they care greatly for all the children.
Absolutely outstanding nursery. Having experienced other settings for my children previously, I can be assured that the care they receive at Little Robins nursery is exceptional. I always feel my children are treated as individuals and not a number. Their day to day care is entirely built around them and their needs. All of the staff in the setting are extremely professional, caring and my children have a good relationship with each of them especially their key workers.
There is a range of outside equipment such as swings, slides, sandpits as well as even having a castle inside. There is plenty for them to use their imaginations.
My daughter loves all the songs they learn and sing and they even get the opportunity to perform to parents, in the harvest festival and nativity, where they get involved with the older children.
They also take safeguarding really seriously and have plenty of teachers that do an amazing job at caring for the children.
Being a young mum I was worried about being treated differently but that is not the case here. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, I could not recommend this nursery enough.
All of the team at Little Robins have taken so much care of our little boy, giving him truly individual time and engagement, paying real attention to his behaviour, needs and interests. The range of activities that they do around the school and grounds are excellent, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to any new parent.
Since our son has started at Little Robins he has been worked with exceptionally well by all at the nursery. He is making great progress and the attention to detail by the staff is great. The feedback from the nursery through their app is very good and it is lovely to have the updates from his days there when we are at work. Brilliant nursery!
The staff are all so lovely and kind, they know all the kids and know all their individual needs and quirks and little languages!
They have been so helpful potty training my little one and always support and work with the parents in everything! I would highly recommend them as a nursery.
The 2-3 yr olds have gardening and music and arts lessons and my little one loves it. And I know few of my friends in the older group do even more lessons. But most importantly they keep it fun and incorporate lots of play time and they always go outside no matter the weather, they just put them in the sun suit or wetsuit or snowsuit and off they go and play outdoors!
And they are the only nursery in the area that provides food, and hot meals, and again my little ones eats so well. She even eats all the fruit and veg there!
They seem to cover emotional, physical, educational and just all around support and developmental needs for them all!
We couldn't be happier with Little Robins Nursery at Sunninghill Prep School. The staff create such a warm and nurturing environment. From the very beginning, they've all been incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's wellbeing. The facilities are excellent, with plenty of space and resources that encourage both play and learning. It's clear a lot of thought has gone into creating a safe, stimulating environment where children can thrive. The curriculum offers a great balance of structured activities and free play (and lots of time outdoors, which our little boy loves!), helping to support his development in all areas. Most importantly, our little boy settled in really well and absolutely loves going to nursery. He comes home happy, confident, and full of stories about his day, which says everything. We feel very lucky to have found such a fantastic place and would highly recommend it to any parent.
We have been over the moon with Little Robins nursery since our little boy joined in spring 2025.
The team are so caring and kind and we have been especially impressed with the team in the Bobbins room and how much our little boy has come on since joining that room. Two particular teachers have especially shown incredible thoughtfulness about our little boy and his sensory needs. They picked up early on that he is very sensory-led and always go above and beyond to accommodate him.
I recently came into nursery and room manager had been freezing plastic animals in coloured ice because she knew our little boy would love that activity. The other day I came into nursery for pick up and our little boy was sitting nicely as part of circle time and the other teacher had given him a body brush. Our boy struggles with sitting still but this teacher had worked out that the brush helped give him something to focus on.
Overall we could not be more impressed with the whole team and setting.
Thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful and detailed review. We are truly touched by your kind words and it means a great deal to the whole team at Little Robins Nursery to hear about your experience.
We're especially pleased to hear how supported your little boy has been in the Bobbins...
The children at little robins are all so happy and well cared for. When you collect your child you get a review of the day and what they have done, as well as getting phone app updates and photos of interesting activities. Our child loves going to the nursery and has made some good friends.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We're delighted to hear that your child is happy, settled, and enjoying their time at Little Robins Nursery.
It's wonderful to know that the daily feedback, app updates, and photos help you stay connected with your child's experiences throughout the day....
We truly cannot speak more highly of Little Robins Nursery. Our son adores going. We have been delighted with the progress our son has made during his time there. The support and guidance he receives on a daily basis is so evident. He is becoming more curious about the world and wants to learn. This is nurtured by the staff and encouraged through the wide variety of activities they do. The staff encourage children to become independent whilst also helping them to build and learn about social skills. The days are well structured with a visual timetable for the children to follow. The staff truly do go above and beyond and we could not be more grateful. The care they provide is rooted with kindness. They take time to learn about the children's interests and hobbies, and as parents we feel they really care about the children as individuals. We feel our son is safe and well supported at Little Robins we are so excited to see the progress he will continue to make there.
Thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful and heartwarming review. It means a great deal to our team to hear how positively your son is experiencing his time with us, and I will be sure to share your kind words with them.

Well where to start..we have been blown away by the care, support and dedication shown by all of the amazing staff within the warm-hearted and nurturing environment that our son is privileged to be a part of, at Little Robins Nursery. He is so happy and goes running in every morning without so much as a look back, as he's so eager to get on his with fun filled day! He loves all of the activities and especially loves gardening and cooking. I feel like we couldn't ask for a more perfect start for our little boy, so thank you all for your hard work and dedication. It's hugely appreciated by us all.

We have two children at Little Robbins Nursery and couldn't be happier with the care they receive. The staff are warm, attentive, and truly dedicated to each child's development.
Both of our children have grown in confidence and love going in each day, which says everything. The environment is nurturing, the activities are engaging, and communication with parents is always excellent.
A fantastic nursery that we'd highly recommend.

Little Robins is such a wonderful nursery - the staff are so nurturing and our little one has access to many brilliant resources and experiences. We are so grateful for the start in life our child is getting thanks to Little Robins.
The quality of care provided is outstanding Sienna always comes home with a smile on her face. Overall an outstanding Nursery with amazing staff.
A brilliant nursery that offers a real variety of learning opportunities for our child, such as music, gardening, outdoor exploring, as well as providing healthy meals and the staff are all very friendly and caring.
I cannot express enough how wonderful fledglings has been for my son Hugo, he loves going in and the staff are incredible. Caring, kind, fun and well structured days. I fully trust them and every aspect has been impeccable- from the cleanliness of the room, the variety with gardening, outdoor play etc. the staff make it and I always recommend.
We had a terrible time with the first nursery our daughter went to, which left a significant detrimental impact on our then 2 year old and ourselves as parents. She struggled with confidence and separation. Sunninghill went above and beyond to make sure she settled in well and adjust aspects of her care as and when needed so that she felt safe and comfortable. Since then she has grown so much in confidence and absolutely loves going to nursery! She is a bright, happy and confident 3 year old, which is in no doubt partly due to the care she has received at little robbins. As parents they have always communicated well with us and left us feeling reassured, happy and confident she is in the best possible place. Thank you Little Robbins team, you are all amazing
