Little crickets offer a warm, welcoming environment where the children are greeted by nursery staff and school staff alike, all taking a keen interest in getting to know both the child and the parent. Nursery staff provide regular updates via the app to reassure parents and keep them updated on what their child is learning and experiencing at the setting. The setting offers a variety of play spaces, including a school hall for physical activities, an art studio, playground and a garden area, allowing children to experience nature, use apparatus and enjoy sensory play, baking and crafts. Children are provided with nutritious snacks, have regular nappy changes and health and safety is observed to be a priority. Overall, I am thoroughly happy with the support offered to my child by little crickets staff. They care for him, comfort him and keep me well updated which is a key priority for me. I would highly recommend the setting to any other parent.
Thank you for your lovely words. We are very grateful for your feedback.
The staff are so friendly, caring and attentive, nothing is too much trouble. The communication is fantastic and we have regular updates of what our daughter has been doing during her time at nursery - which is a lot! I don't know how they manage to pack so much into a session!
I would highly recommend anyone thinking of sending their child to Little Crickets to take a look at the wonderful setting! The rooms and outside space have fantastic facilities and activities for the children.
We're so pleased to be sending our daughter here and can't wait to see how her journey continues.
What a wonderful testimony, we are grateful for your kind words. Thank you.
My child settled into the nursery really easily. I was so impressed with how quickly the staff got to know his personality. The range of activities the children do during the day is fantastic and my son will be well prepared for starting reception. Such a caring, calm and fun environment.
Thank you so much for your review. It is very much appreciated by the whole Nursery Team.
They are a really lovely team with lots of fun different activities alongside nursery-level learning which is great.
This is my 2nd child in the nursery. I would highly recommend.
Thank you for giving us such a lovely review. It's great to hear how happy you are with what we offer.
The level of attentive care that my child receives at this nursery is outstanding. He comes home confident and full of stories, a testament to the fact that so much is packed into each day. He has learned and experienced so much as a result of the rich programme of activities.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, it is much appreciated.
Great communication and care for our child starting at this nursery. The level of understanding for what is right for each individual child is so good and the staff are lovely. We love how much time they spend outdoors and explore in nature. I would highly recommend this nursery.
Thank you so much for your lovely words. It is much appreciated.
I absolutely love Little Cricket Nursery, but more importantly, so too does my daughter. She went from refusing to go into her previous setting, to happily skipping off each morning after a lovely warm greeting at the front door, within a few weeks of joining. She is thriving at Little Crickets and I am sure it is due to the very high quality and passion of the staff who genuinely care for each child. The team listened carefully and took very seriously her specific dietary requirements, they make you feel very cared for and like nothing is too much of an ask. The learning is very fun and creative and the whole experience feels very personalised and genuine. I literally cannot fault the staff, facilities and the whole experience at all and I would wholeheartedly recommend the nursery to prospective parents.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. You are absolutely right, we do care about each and every child and their family. This matters to us very much and it is at the heart of the Springmead experience.
3 of my 4 children attended Little Crickets at Springmead's Nursery and I currently have one there and planning to have my youngest join as soon as she's old enough to attend. All four of them have proven to be very different characters but the nursery has been the right place for the 3 who've attended so far. I know this because, currently, Little Crickets atSpringmead don't cater for under 2's so mine had to attend other nurseries initially and 2 of them struggled. When they moved to Little Crickets at Springmead, to say they flourished feels like an understatement. The service offering is amazing, music, French, art, water-play, go explore, and performing arts, these children play and learn well. All nursery staff and management have been exemplary. They were patient in supporting one of my children when potty training and worked with us to get that sorted. Truly a tailored approach to early years childcare!
Thank you for your kind words, Nyasha. An honest review from an experienced parent who has been part of our nursery for some years is deeply appreciated.
