Our twin boys have been coming since they were around 10 months old and they have always had a lovely and positive time. We feel confident and happy to leave our boys in the lovely care of the staff at Minnows and its nice to see them happy to be handed over on morning drop offs, reassuring us that
they enjoy coming. We love the big outdoor space here and we love that they get home cooked nutritious meals and snacks throughout the day. Thanks for all that you do! We would very much recommend this nursery to parents.

Its been over a year since we registered our son at Little Minnows. The nursery has provided a decent environment where he can learn and play. His dad and I are quite impressed with his development. We also admire how independent he has become with feeding himself. We sincerely commend the Staff for
their hardwork and dedication.

Little Minnows has been a fantastic environment for our daughter. Her speech, writing and drawing skills have all improved massively since starting nursery. Staff are lovely and nothing is too much trouble.

Little Minnows Nursery is a wonderful place. We fell in love with the setting during Hayley's tour. Hayley and Tom were welcoming and their pride in the nursery shone through.
The beautiful setting, with its large gardens, was a huge draw. The friendly and caring home-like atmosphere within the
nursery was also a big plus. Security was a top priority for me and Hayley was keen to discuss their policies and procedures.
The staff are incredibly accommodating to each child's needs. They really care about learning routines and likes and dislikes in the early stages of settling. Any concerns are shared and promptly addressed.
The app used to log daily details of your child day (food, naps, feeds and nappy schedule) is very comforting, especially since we both work away.
The staff are kind, friendly my child's face lights up when the workers welcome him in the mornings. My son loves the team and has created a strong bond with his key worker.

Little minnows is a very friendly, family based nursery. Our little one loves it and doesn't even stop to look back as she goes in! The food is homemade and healthy with a varied menu and there is a lovely balance of outdoor and indoor play. Really handy opening hours and the staff cannot do enough
for the children- thank you!

Our son has been at the nursery since he turned 10 months, two days a week. He always comes home happy and well fed, always a little more energetic and sassy than when we left him!
The staff are all friendly and very easy to get hold of whenever you need to talk to someone.
The food they serve
always seems to be lovely and healthy, which is reassuring to know.
Always get a daily diary at the end of the day to inform us how the day has gone. Always informed if he gets a little accidental bump or bruise while playing.
The only thing I would say is that we perhaps don't get enough feedback in terms of learning/insight on the nursery app (perhaps 1 every couple of months?) but I appreciate the staff are always busy and I wouldn't want them on their phones all day anyway!
Overall my experience to date is that the nursery is efficient, well run, healthy, warm and friendly.

Our little girl has been attending Little minnows since March 2024.
We are so happy with the nursery, she comes home happy everyday and is always excited to go in the see her friends and the nursery working team, who are very kind , supportive and approachable.
We get regular updates for her
development, nursery updates too of any info we need to know.

Our son has attended Little Minnows from 5 months old, and he adores his time at nursery. The staff are all incredibly attentive and friendly, really getting to know each child and their individual needs. The space is incredible, with so many opportunities for outdoor enrichment - and the regular
little trips out and about are a real plus, too.
From the top down, everything about Little Minnows is incredibly welcoming, friendly and accommodating. Our little boy is really thriving here and we couldn't be happier to recommend this fantastic setting!!!

Our daughter enjoys her days at The Little Minnows. The staff are amazing and very dedicated to what they do. They are caring, able to tailor around children's needs, so the little ones can thrive in their own time. A very supportive environment for babies and their families.

My child comes back sleeping and happy. She seems to be more alert and her cognitive abilities are far more advanced at her age than I was expecting. She also seems to enjoy the staff that take care of her. I'm delighted to have entrusted her care with Little Minnows Nursery. Happy Dad, thank you
very much.

My son has loved Little Minnows for the last almost 2 years, he literally runs in with excitement every morning and barely has time to turn around and say goodbye to me! As a mum who works almost full time it's such a good feeling knowing he is happy. All the staff are lovely, I feel confident they
know my son really well and his specific needs are met.

Little Minnows has set such an incredible standard as to what you can receive from a nursery setting. Be that as parents or children, we have all been supported and cared for in ways we didn't realise we needed with patience and kindness you can expect from your own family.
A 'home away from home'
is truly something that Little Minnows strives for and achieves, and our little one is always benefitting from their time at nursery. We always feel that our child's interests are incorporated into the daily activities that are offered with the scope he needs to broaden those interests and develop a truly lovely appreciation for the world around him.
Little Minnows staff are attentive and supportive of our parenting decisions and have always encouraged contact from us to develop a close relationship for the benefit of our child. They demonstrate how well they know our child through each interaction and we could not be more comfortable leaving our little one in their care.
15 January 2025
The staff are truly amazing and it shows how much they care about the safety, education and nutrition of every child. It has been a joy to see our children thrive in such a nurturing environment and they are loving their experience.
We have enrolled all of our children and we couldn't be happier
with the decision. Thank you Little Minnows for all that you do!

My son has absolutely loved attending Little Minnows. He first started there in January 2023 when he was 9 months old, and I'll admit I was a little nervous about how he'd settle in at first. But the team made it such an easy transition for both him and I and we've never looked back. He's made such
progress there, always coming home very happy and telling me all about the fun things they do and how much he likes spending time with both the staff and other children. We're so happy with Little Minnows that we've already reserved a spot for my second child, who isn't even born yet!

I don't tend to take the time to leave reviews but for Little Minnows, I make an exception. The team have been amazing with my son. He's been going there since September 2022 when he was 10 months old and he'll remain there until he starts school.
My son used to be extremely shy and nervous and we
found it difficult to leave him with anyone other than ourselves. However, being at Little Minnows has helped to benefit him to be such a happy, chatty and friendly child. He adores going to nursery 2 days a week and spends the time he's not there telling us all about his friends (this includes the amazing grown-ups who look after him). There are staff members there that I will remember for years to come and that I genuinely wish I had someone like them when I was a child because the difference they make is like nothing I've ever experienced before. They all go above and beyond and I honestly cannot praise them all enough. Every single person there has a heart of gold.

My child loved every moment at Little Minnows, the staff was incredible and she loved the food, she grew so much being there, helped her come out of the bubble for sure. If my child could stay she sure would. I am very grateful for the wonderful staff they have. She loved the garden space and the
various activities they did. Thank you so much to all the staff.

Little Minnows is a warm, caring and professional nursery and our daughter is so happy there. She has been attending 3 days a week from the age of 8 months (she's now nearly 3) and she's always loved it. The day is filled with a fun routine, amazing food and a wide range of activities with plenty of
learning. Our daughter comes home fully stimulated and happily exhausted. She sleeps better when she's been at nursery all day and she loves the staff and other children. The outside space is really fantastic - a huge garden with a wide range of areas and learning spaces. The inside spaces are also really engaging!
Communication from staff is excellent - always a phone call and plenty of messages (which we like!) and I feel I can pick up the phone and talk to any of the staff about anything. They are supportive, friendly and so accommodating. I can't praise this place enough. I have recommended this nursery to many friends already, who are likewise as happy as we are!

I couldn't imagine a better place for my child to attend nursery. The staff are incredible and are clearly very passionate about their work, they care for the children and go above and beyond for them and make sure they are eating healthy but yummy foods. The atmosphere of the nursery is incredible
also and is very homely as well as a great environment for little ones to explore and be engaged with learning. I am very grateful to Little Minnows Nursery for everything they have done and my child will forever hold the memories of this nursery as will I.
24 July 2024
My son started at Little Minnows in May when he was 9 months old. I returned to work full time which was a challenge, but the kindness, support, and communication from the Minnows team were exceptional and they created a bespoke settling-in programme to enable a successful transition into a nursery
full-time. This made such a difference to my son and to us as parents. He goes in happy every morning, and comes out full of chatter, smiling and having had a great day. The photos and daily updates we get are lovely and the communication on the door is excellent.
The key workers work hard to get to know your child personally and quickly get to grips with my son's routine and personality.
The team have been so helpful in supporting my son with his eating and managing his eczema flare-ups.
We couldn't have wished for a better setting for our son and would wholeheartedly recommend Little Minnows to anyone looking for a nurturing, fun, and engaging nursery with a strong child-centred ethos and an amazing outside space for outdoor fun.
