This is her first time at nursery and as she isn't yet two I was so nervous. However seeing her progress I've already increased her sessions and love hearing about her adventures. All members of staff are so kind and knowledgeable and I feel safe leaving her with them
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are absolutely delighted to hear how well your daughter has settled in to our new Ladybirds Room. Starting nursery for the first time is a big step, especially at such a young age, and it means a great deal to us that she is enjoying it so much and that...
My daughter always enjoys going into nursery and comes home with a smile on her face. The staff are welcoming and kind. It's an excellent environment for introducing your child to school life with structure and learning through play.

Our son has been at this nursery over a year now from when he turned two, having tried the little crackers "stay and play" sessions beforehand we could tell he really loved the environment here and the staff exuded such kindness. It is a decision we are so glad we made, his speech and various other skills have come along in leaps and bounds since joining this nursery, which clearly mixes a lot of fun play with important work for children to learn social and other life skills. Forest school once weekly and lots of outdoor play is fantastic, the outdoor play areas are so lovely. A special mention to the nursery manager who leads the team with calm confidence which my son clearly responds to! Also to one staff member in particular for her kindness :) And finally to the school headmaster, the fact he clearly seems to really know my son(including the fact he loves dinosaurs) is a credit to both him and the school he leads. Thank you all :)
Thank you for taking the time to write your lovely review. We are really pleased to hear that your son has made significant progress since joining Little Crackers and you valued our Stay 'n' Play sessions. We also appreciate your kind words about our Team and our Headmaster and will pass your valued feedback on to them.
We currently have our third child going through Little Crackers and couldn't be more pleased with everything they have to offer. Our little girl (3) has grown exponentially in confidence with her knowledge and understanding, diligence and communication surpassing our expectations leading into her starting school in September. Our older boys (4 and 7) both started Little Crackers from the age of 3 and have thrived in school using the platform that Little Crackers built for them. The acting manager has been a constant and stable presence who ensures that her staff treat our children with kindness and respect and encourage them to grow into their unique selves. Two teachers in particular, to name but a few of the incredible staff at Little Crackers ensure that our children learn, grow relationships and enjoy every second of their time at nursery; we could not be more thankful.
Thank you for taking the time to write your review. We're pleased to hear that your daughter has made significant progress over the past year and you feel she will be 'school ready' in September. We really appreciate your kind words about our Team and will pass your valued feedback on to them.
The nursery environment has a great balance of playtime, learning and outdoor activities. The staff are always approachable and keep us well-informed about his progress. Overall, we are grateful for the positive impact this nursery has had on our child's development. He is genuinely happy to go in every day and that speaks volumes. We highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nursery.
Thank you for taking the time to share your valued five-star feedback, we will pass this on to the Nursery Team. We are so happy to hear that your son is thriving at Little Crackers and enjoys his time at nursery. Thank you for your recommendation.
