My son has been attending this nursery since baby room and is now in toddler room. He absolutely loves going and he has learned so much.
The teachers and nursery manager have been absolutely fantastic regarding any issues/questions I had.
I would highly recommend this nursery

We've had a wonderful experience with Small World Nursery so far. The staff are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and attentive, and they do a fantastic job of keeping us updated throughout the day via the app, which gives us real peace of mind.
Our daughter is currently in her settling-in sessions, and
it's been amazing to see how quickly she has become comfortable with the staff. Their warm and welcoming approach really helps the children feel at ease right from the start.
We visited several nurseries before making our decision, but Small World stood out by far as our favourite. Rebecca was especially kind and took the time to give us a thorough walkthrough, clearly explaining everything about how the nursery operates across all age groups. By the time we left, we both felt completely confident that this was the perfect place for our little girl.
We're so pleased with our choice and would highly recommend Small World Nursery to other parents.

Small world nursery is a delightful nursery with exceptional staff. They made us and our baby feel very welcome and at ease with the settling in sessions. There is plenty of toys and activities to keep the babies busy. And a lovely quiet area for babies to sleep. They send you regular updates and
photos on the app. We made the right choice with small world and if you are looking for somewhere your child will be taken care of really well this nursery is for you.

I have 2 kids at Small World Nursery and both of them love staying there, the staff are very friendly and kind, we never had any issues and the managers always try to help us with things. I really like the app because it allows me to see my children's progress and what they do there. I feel safe
leaving them there because I know they are happy and well!

My one-year-old settled in well and enjoyed all the fun activities provided. He has learned and played well at this nursery. The teachers are very much loving and caring. We also find the app that tells us his routine particularly useful. We can't be more satisfied with everything here.

Small World is an excellent nursery. The main reason is the level of care, attention and interest they take in my children. They really get to know the children well.
I have always felt my kids were well cared for, the staff are excellent and the management is also! The management team are great,
they know what's happening in every room and they also know the kids just as well as the rest of the staff. They are very respectful to us as parents, how we parent our kids and how that fits into nursery life. The communication and feedback about my children and what they do at nursery are always excellent. On a practical note, they also get great healthy, varied food at the nursery!
The educational content is great and age-appropriate! My eldest often talks about things he's learnt and they clearly recognised both my boy's strengths and other areas they may need more support. Mainly my kids love going to nursery and come out beaming despite them being there for long days whilst I'm at work.

I don't know what we would have done without Small World Nursery! The staff are fantastic and the support they give to the children is amazing. My son will be leaving in July, he has been there since he was two. He absolutely loves it there and is very upset he is going. We will miss everyone at
Small World Nursery. My son has SEN (Special Educational Needs) and they have done their utmost to help his development, he has come a long way. I can not thank them enough. I highly recommend this nursery.

Wonderful staff but terrible management and run-down building.
No concept of customer service and total lack of communicational skills. Would never recommend Small World due to the management. My son attended the nursery for nearly three years and we had to move him due to the incompetence of the
nursery manager.

I have two children attending the nursery and I am extremely pleased with the care they are receiving. My children's confidence has grown, they enjoy the activities and engage with all the staff.The atmosphere is great, all the staff are welcoming and my children always look forward to going to
nursery as every day is a new learning experience.
I feel my children are safe and their individual needs are met and supported throughout this new "adventure" in their lives.

My boy has been going here for about 6 months and we are extremely happy with the care the nursery staff give him. The staff really work with you on ensuring the little ones are settled and happy. The nursery is a light, airy and welcoming place and there is always a friendly reception. It's very
professional but also very personal. I can't sing their praises enough.

I have two children who attend the nursery. One had health problems as a baby and has food aversion and the other has multiple food allergies.
Small World have been AMAZING. Both children are incredibly well looked after, happy and fed well (they all eat the same as their friends but they cook
separately for them with substitute problems).
They have themes and activities planned and teach them good skills (brushing teeth, drinking from a cup without a lid, putting their own shoes on).
Both children have great bonds with the staff.
I honestly can't fault the nursery. My eldest has been attending for a year now and would definitely recommend.
