My two children have been attending Little Magpies since they opened in June 2025, I can honestly say that their experience there has been exceptional so far. Since transferring from their old nursery, my children have excelled in their development and staff are genuinely invested in the wellbeing of those in their care. Staff and management are honest, open and very approachable. Their 'family social' events, Halloween, Christmas and their Easter BBQ were a great way to interact with other parents whose little ones attend the nursery and make you feel that 'Little Magpies' is not only invested in the family but also in the Ryton community
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and generous review. We're incredibly proud to hear that your children have had an exceptional experience with us since we opened in June 2025, and that their development has flourished since joining Little Magpies. Knowing that you feel our team and...

My favourite nursery ever! I have 4 children and we are both working parents so have had our fair share of nursery setting experiences over the years and little magpies tops them all. My little girl has been attending since September when the nursery was still very new. All of the staff are amazing, so lovely, welcoming and are fantastic with the children. My daughter settled really quickly, she has her off days but dont they all. It really is like a home from home and the whole family love it. Weve attended a few family events and they've been fantastic and brings the community together. I could go on forever! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart

My little girl loves Little Magpies. It's the first nursery she's attended and she's settled so well, she really surprised us. She loves all the animals they look after there and has bonded really well with the team and the other children.
