Review from Charlotte H (Mother of Child) published on 16 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending this nursery since November, and I couldn't be happier with the care she has received. The team are all so kind, friendly, and welcoming.
The nursery offers a great variety of healthy meals and I love the range of activities they do with the children.

I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring and supportive environment for their child.

Review from Cherstine S (Mother of Child) published on 15 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been going here since she was 10 months old and the staff have gone out of their way to meet her needs at every milestones. They make arrangements to stick to her daily schedule and provide regular updates on how she is progressing throughout the day. The nursery go above and beyond when it comes to creating new activities for the children to engage in and this includes sports days, schools fares and even bringing animals in for the children to pet. The nursery has become like a second family to our daughter and the care they provide has far exceeded our expectations!

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been attending Little Loco's since February when she was only 4 months old. The staff are wonderful - communication is prompt and they are receptive to any queries/requests. Our daughter always seems happy and well looked after when I pick her up. The food provided always smells delicious and there always seems to be lots of different activities available. I really value the updates I get throughout the day on the app. I would 100% recommended this nursery.

Overall Experience

I chose this nursery with my partner after viewing several in the local area. The main reception space is excellent and the layout of the nursery is great! They have a wonderful courtyard space outside but best of all is the energy of everyone who works here. My son loves coming to nursery and I know he's having a great time.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at Little Loco's for 7 months now, and we couldn't be happier with this nursery. From our first visit when she was only 12 weeks old, we knew the environment was something special! The values, the quality of the space, and the passion from leadership really stood out to us. Everyone we have met has been so friendly, and attentive to our daughter. We get regular updates, and monthly observations to check the progress our daughter is making. We feel so happy and content with the choice of nursery, I would recommend to anyone! Our daughter has formed such lovely relationships with so many staff members, and we love hearing about what she gets up to.

Overall Experience

My little girl has attended Little Loco's for 6 months and I have been over the moon with the care she receives and the provision she accesses. The staff are warm, friendly and professional. Leadership seem committed to providing the children with a range of enrichment experiences on a regular basis. There are also regular opportunities for parental engagement.

Review from Sophie C (Mother of Child) published on 2 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

From the first time we visited Little Loco's when choosing a nursery for our son (12 months), we found it to be a professional, warm and friendly place. All the staff embody the values of the nursery and we always feel very happy dropping our son off for the day as he loves his interactions and the activities, which are plentiful every week. The nursery facilities are modern, clean and very suitable for all nursery ages. We receive regular updates throughout the day via an easy to use app and a lovely newsletter at the end of every week so we know what the babies have been enjoying all week. We would strongly recommend Little Loco's Day Nursery.

Review from Olivia G (Mother of Child) published on 2 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our little girl (now 13 months) has been attending Little Locos since October 2025.
The setting itself is clean, modern and has excellent facilities, by far the best of any other nursery we viewed. The staff are so friendly yet professional and I know my daughter is in the safest hands. The little ones get out and about in the garden and also in the local community and this alongside the activities indoors that follow a curriculum are really helping to bring my daughter on and help her development. I feel at ease leaving her knowing she's well looked after, and well fed!

We love little locos and wouldn't want to trust anywhere else to look after her!

Review from C N (Mother of Child) published on 2 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with our experience at this nursery. Our son has been attending since August 2025 and the difference in him has been amazing to see.
The staff are so caring, attentive and informative - we always feel well updated and reassured that he is being looked after incredibly well. He absolutely loves going and now even asks to go in the morning, which says everything.
They have supported his development so beautifully, and we love that he has access to PE teachers, music sessions and sensory classes as part of his week. It's such a well-rounded environment. We also really value how often they take the children out into the community - whether that's trips to the park, the field or even the train station. Those experiences make such a difference.
The food deserves a special mention too - he thoroughly enjoys his meals and often asks for extra (they must be that good!).

We are so happy with our experience so far and feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful nursery.

Review from A D (Mother of Child) published on 2 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I couldn't be happier with little locos my little girl has been attending since October and the experience has been so positive for both her and us as parents.
She was quite unsettled to start with which is normal but all the staff were amazing they were patient, caring and reassuring not just with her but with me too! They really helped put my mind at ease during those early days keeping me updated which meant so much!
Since then she has come on so much it's lovely to see her settle in and build relationships with staff and grow in confidence, the staff are always there if I have any questions or concerns and they genuinely care about the children.
They provide such a wide range of activities every day it's clear that a lot of thought and effort go into planning engaging experiences that help the children learn and develop while having fun.

I'm so grateful for everything they do and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent!

Review from Kat A (Mother of Child) published on 7 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter started at Little Locos in September and has settled in amazingly well. The staff are so lovely, friendly, and approachable. They made the whole process smooth and reassuring. She absolutely loves going to nursery and gets excited every morning to go and play! The team plan such fun activities and even take the children on little trips to the park, library, and nearby train station, which fits the "Little Locos" theme perfectly.
The nursery itself is immaculate with a calm, homely feel and brand-new, top-quality resources. It's clear that a lot of care and thought has gone into creating such a welcoming environment. We also love receiving the weekly menu, there's always a great variety of healthy meals and snacks.

We couldn't be happier with our choice and feel confident our daughter is happy, well cared for, and thriving at Little Locos. Highly recommend!

Overall Experience

We're so happy with Carys' nursery! All of the staff are so friendly, caring and welcoming. They take the children out on fun little adventures, and Carys is always so excited to go in each morning. The nursery is clean, well-organised, and you can tell how much care and attention goes into everything they do. We've seen such amazing progress in Carys' development since she started - she's learning, growing, and thriving thanks to the wonderful team.

We've had such a wonderful experience with little loco's. From day one, the staff have been incredibly kind. supportive and welcoming. The helped my son settle in so gently always comforting him when he was upset at drop off - and now he absolutely loves going in! He's learning so much and how so much fun every day. It's lovely to see how excited he is to see his friends and the staff. We're so grateful to have found a place that feels like a second home for him. Thank you to the director and all of the staff at Little Loco's.

Review from H M (Mother of Child) published on 3 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We are very pleased with the nursery, our daughter started only a few months ago after the old nursery closing over night.
They do absolutely loads with the children, and offer the children lots of variety for each meals and snacks which is great incase some are not keen on a few and then have the chance to fill up on other food that they like the look of and taste too.
They do not stop from stepping foot in the nursery to finishing at the end of the day, they will not be board keeping their little brains going.
The staff are very happy to help and change things where they can tweak things to make it as home from home for each child.
And because it's not a massive setting (place) it's suits both our daughter and us.

Thank you all, you're doing a good job

Review from Karolina D (Mother of Child) published on 3 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My 9-month-old daughter was actually the first child to attend Little Locos when it opened, and from the very beginning, it has felt incredibly warm, welcoming, and homely. From the moment we walked through the doors, it was clear that this nursery isn't just a place to care for children, it's a community where each child is valued and nurtured.
The staff are exceptional; they are attentive, caring, and genuinely passionate about creating a safe and stimulating environment for the children. Our daughter has thrived under their care, developing confidence, curiosity, and a love for learning from such a young age. I've visited other nurseries, but none have had the same warmth, personal attention, and sense of belonging that Little Locos offers.

It truly felt like the first and only choice for our family. Knowing that our daughter is happy, safe, and engaged every day gives us immense peace of mind. We feel so fortunate to be part of the Little Locos family.

Review from G T (Mother of Child) published on 3 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I couldn't be happier with Little Loco's, as a first time mum the thought of nursery was quite daunting even though I really wanted our little lady to go as I know how important it is for babies. The drop offs were especially hard at the beginning but all of the ladies are so warm and welcoming they made it so much easier for me. I can already see how much my baby has developed over the past few months and I genuinely can't thank you all enough for how much you do for her and me being a working mum. They do so much with the little ones that makes their days fun, educational and enjoyable. I also really appreciate the updates weekly that include a full round up of the week and have lots of photos

The nursery itself is stunning and a lovely homely environment that I can tell had a lot of love in the design and I can't wait to see how much more you have planned for the future. Thank You for everything!

Review from Veronica I (Mother of Child) published on 28 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Outstanding level of care. Our little one has attended Little Loco's since April 2025 (at 6 months) where he settled straight away. The staff are kind, friendly, and they genuinely care about the children's wellbeing and development.

The staff and management know how to make parents feel at ease when dropping the little one off at nursery and are thorough at providing feedback at pick up. The staff and management genuinely listen to our concerns regarding any aspects of the little one's development, feeding or sleeping, and propose ways forward at nursery and home. We are incredibly happy with Little Loco's, as we can see that our little one is thriving and is well taken care of.
