Review from L C (Mother of Child) published on 23 July 2026 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

Really happy with the nursery! My daughter loves it, even when we pick her up when she finishes mid day she asks to stay and have lunch with her friends. She always comes back happy and we love to see the daily updates of what they've been up to. She's been learning a lot of good values and manners that she's been bringing back home with her.

Review from Jean B (Grandmother of Child) published on 26 January 2026 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

My grandson started at Little Gems in Sept and is absolutely thriving.
He attends the tots room and has come on leaps and bounds since starting.
He comes home singing new songs each day, he's beginning to learn makaton signs which the nursery staff and encouraging and continuing to help him learn new ones each week!
The staff are always welcoming and any query we've had as a family they are always happy to answer.

I love going to pick him up and hearing about his day!

Review from Harvey B (Father of Child) published on 14 January 2026 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

I have only positive things to say about little gems nursery. My daughter started in November 2025 and within a week she was happy, settled and thriving. The staff members makes my child feel safe, happy and comfortable. The toys, and environment are lovely and I love the day photos and blogs they write every single day. At drop off and pick up the staff greets my daughter with nothing but smiles and love. As a father I couldn't wish for anymore than what we are receiving!

Overall Experience

My son has been going to little gems pre school since November 2025 and has settled really well into the pre school and this is all thanks for the staff, they are very helpful and caring towards my son. He come home each day and is very excited to tell me about the activities he's been doing and talks about his friends and teachers each evening.

I love being part of the most important years of a child's development and watching each child blossom in their own ways. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to manage Little Gems Nursery alongside my best friend, with whom I got my Childcare qualification at college all those years ago!

Joanne MoodyJob Title Room Leader (TOTS)Joined 2025

Originally joining one of our sister companies in early 2025, the opportunity to become Room Leader at Little Gems Nursery was offered to me by Gemma in September 2025.

Little Gems have invested in my future by offering to help me gain my Level 3 in Childcare, something I am so grateful for. I enjoy working for Little Gems and running the TOTS room as it is a small, family-focused environment. Being in a smaller environment, it has allowed me and the team to give a more focused learning experience with the children. Read less
