My daughter has been here 2 months and settled so well and progressing so much more , the staff are all patient , friendly and really caring, there's always so many fun activities for the children to do, my daughter especially loves being outside , would highly recommend little Thornton to anyone
My child has started to settle into nursery after not being there long due to the kindness and care they've shown both of us, they're always doing something fun day to day and outdoor play is a firm favourite!
If ever I have any questions or just want to check in on how my child is doing they are just a phone call or message away and they keep the app updated throughout the day for me to see what my child has been up to or eaten.
My child has come on leaps and bounds since attending and I feel at ease leaving him in their care as I know it's a home from home environment and our routine is followed.
Having worked in nursery settings I was so unsure about whether to send my child or not but as soon as I visited Little Thornton there was no question!
Can't thank them enough for everything they do!!
We are all so happy that your little boy has settled and that you are happy too. It is incredibly important to us that you both have had a high quality experience and continue to do so. It's lovely to hear that he has come on leaps and bounds and that he loves our outdoors, this review truly reflects Little Thornton Nursery. Thank you from our Team.
Our little one absolutely loves nursery and it's so lovely to see her happy and thriving there. Little Thornton is a lovely place with a comforting, family atmosphere, all the staff are so friendly and welcoming and their love and care for the children is clear to see. The place is amazingly clean and baby room is always set up beautifully with lovely interesting things for them to do and explore. Communication between nursery and home is excellent as well and I feel completely up to date with what our little one is up to during the day. It means the world to me as a working mummy to have somewhere that my little one can come for the day and feel confident that she will be happy, taken care of and will be supported and encouraged in her early steps of learning and development, thank you Little Thornton xx

The nursery is new, modern, and exceptionally clean. It offers excellent equipment and facilities for the children, and all the staff are warm, welcoming, and friendly-especially those in the baby room. The activities are thoughtfully planned, and my little boy always has a wonderful time. I also appreciate the regular updates on the app, which keep me informed about his day and progress.

Otis's Nursery has been absolutely amazing from day one. The staff are so kind, caring, and genuinely invested in the children you can really feel how much love and attention goes into everything they do. Otis has thrived since starting here, and it's such a comfort knowing he's in a safe, nurturing, and happy environment. Communication is excellent, the activities are engaging and thoughtful, and it's clear the team truly understands each child as an individual. Nothing ever feels too much trouble, and every day we're greeted with warmth and reassurance. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Otis's Nursery, it's a place where children are truly cared for, not just looked after. 10/10 in every way, I can not recommend enough! & from the bottom of my heart thank you so much to all the staff in the baby room!

My little boy loves nursery now, as a first time mum I wasn't comfortable leaving my son with just anyone. The staff have ensured a smooth transition for all of us as a family. My son attends 4.5 days a week & now gets excited to go in. All of the staff at Little Thornton are kind, caring & make sure I'm up to date with everything developmentally.
Thankyou for this lovely review. We are so happy that the transition has been positive for your family and that your son enjoys Nursery. We have a very dedicated team and are always here for our families. Thanks again for this lovely review, from all the Team at Little Thornton.
I would highly recommend this nursery.
Thank you for this lovely review .We are so happy that your son is making progress and is happy, and that you receive great communications via the App. We have a very dedicated team here at Little Thornton and will continue to make Nursery a Nurturing environment.
Would highly recommend this nursery - as a first time mum I was petrified of the thought of leaving my child with anyone who wasn't family - but now the staff here have BECOME family. It was a massive step to take but manager Angela & all her staff have provided so much reassurance from the very beginning. Every member of staff takes the time to know your child inside & out, they're patient & really help support with meeting milestones. There are clear targets for my son that are being worked towards & through their love and support he now runs happily into nursery excited for each day. The atmosphere is calm, safe & fun. The resources are high quality, beautiful play stations set up, great outdoor space, clean & hygienic toilets & changing facilities. The food is top quality and meals made by hand on site daily. We have huge sensory / food avoidance issues with my son right now but they never give up on him or make him feel left out. Overall I am so so glad we chose this nursery
Thank you for this fabulous review. We are so happy that your son is settled and enjoys Nursery. It means so much to us as a team, that you and your son have been reassured, supported and had a great experience with us. Thanks again.

Had my daughter in this nursery for 4 months now and the change and improvement in her speech and social skills has been amazing. Her confidence and learning have come along great. The staff are all amazing, friendly and helpful and very attentive to all the kids needs. The food is awesome they eat better than than I did at home the menu choices are very good with lots of variety. Could not praise this nursery anymore. Very happy with the service

Our daughter enjoys going to the nursery and the manager abd staff are very professional. They make us feel very reassured that our daughter is safe and that her needs are met.
