Review from J B (Mother of Child) published on 22 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My eldest first attended this nursery prior to school, and my youngest has started this term.

My youngest found it a little harder to settle and the support of the staff at Little Gems has been amazing, I know my daughter is supported and cared for in a nurturing environment. The reassurance they provided to me as a nervous mum was and has always been excellent!

Communication is great with the nursery and the staff look after the children as if they are their own.

I always recommend Little Gems if I get asked, I travel out of my way for this nursery and it is worth it.

The children have lots of toys to play with and we are always informed of the fun activities provided for the children.

The activities the children take part in must be memorable for them as my little one tries to recreate nursery at home on a regular basis! Including lots of songs!

I am very grateful that I found such a wonderful nursery for my two little ones.

I wouldn't send them anywhere else.

My daughter started in January and it's a lovely setting, after a slow settling in period I spent alot of time there & I observed how well the team work together to ensure all children's needs are met and everyone receives what they need. The staff are friendly and welcoming I am happy my daughter is there.

The space is used well & there are always lots of activities for the children to choose from. Communication is amazing & I love the daily updates on the social media page it's nice to see my child enjoying herself.

In the short period my child has been coming to this nursery it has been nothing but an excellent experience. My child always comes out of nursery happy and the staff always give me a very detailed run down of their activities and how their day has been.

We moved pur eldest daughter here a year ago from another nursery and she loves her time there and always talks about her day once home. Our youngest has started there now too.
All of the staff are friendly and attentive and quick to respond to emails/queries
Drop off and pick up is very easy at the door and especially with onsite parking.

Littlegems will be in our lives for another 3.5 years, strongly recommend!

I've had the pleasure of sending my children to this preschool, and I can't speak highly enough of Elisa and Frances! They're amazing with the kids, so caring, and incredibly informative. My little ones have loved every moment and always come home with big smiles. Thanks for providing such a nurturing environment!

Review from N S (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter loves going to nursery and enjoys playing nursery's at home imitating all their days activities. The nursery staff here are very caring and really look out for the children's welfare. We get regular calls regarding their welfare.
On initial joining the children were taken in small walks around the surroundings, which seems to not be currently happening (maybe due to weather or staff levels) but would like to see more of this for their development. To help us ingage more in conversations around their work from nursery, evidence of work as well as play, maybe a weekly folder would be nice to introduce.
Organisation has build slowly with the nursery growing, changes and improvements are made all the time which is really lovely to see. I would like to see a better communication system in the future, also as staff change it would be nice to have somewhere to see all staff info again to be able to talk with the children about whom they spend their day with.

Overall happy.

From day 1 the staff have been amazing. They helped make my child's experience so comforting. He has settled really quickly. They always have different activities to do no day is the same. They are able to give detailed outlines of what he has done that day. They take their time to talk to parents really lovely overall.

Overall Experience
My child has been going there full time since October 2025 and it's been great watching him open up and learn so much more, make friends and in general be a happy kid.
He has always been a shy child but has quite come out of his shell since going to nursery.
It's a great place for them and he absolutely adores all his teachers.

Very happy with them.

Review from C B (Mother of Child) published on 2 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has attended both rooms. He was nearly 2 when he started and on reflection, this was probably a little late. He struggled with leaving us and was very upset each morning. The nursery were very patient and reassured us that he was happy after that initial goodbye. They were very honest at the start if he was still unsettled and advised us to pick him up early. As the year has moved on, he has become more and more comfortable at nursery and now goes in happily most days. He loves his teachers and always talks about them at home. He has made some great friendships and tells us all about his friends and about his day.
Some aspects below I'm not able to make an accurate comment on such as equipment/cleanliness/food etc as we don't enter the setting at all.

It was lovely to get the folder of art work although it would also be nice to get things brought home as and when so we can have a bit more of an insight into what they've been up to.

I would like to share our heartfelt appreciation for the wonderful experience we've had with this preschool. The environment is always so warm and welcoming, and the cleanliness is truly outstanding. The staff are incredibly polite and professional, always going above and beyond to make sure both children and parents feel at ease. Our daughter absolutely loves coming here, and it's clear that she feels happy and eager to return every day.

We are genuinely grateful for the time, dedication, and care that the entire team puts into their work. It's a place we would highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing and high-quality preschool experience. Thank you so much for everything you do

Both of my daughters have attended this nursery, and our experience has been wonderful. The staff are warm, friendly, and caring, and clearly build strong bonds with the children.
There's a fantastic balance between fun and learning, with plenty of outdoor activities that our children absolutely love. The team keeps us well informed and is always approachable, regularly sharing updates about our daughter's day and development, which has made us feel consistently support.
