The team are wonderful and caring and I know my daughter is in safe hands with fun activities both in and out of the nursery. The team communicate well and it's lovely to see how happy my daughter is to go into nursery each day

Our child (2yo) has attended LYN Helmsley for nearly a year now, in this time the setting feels to have undergone a real transformation with interaction full of warmth!
It's a pleasure seeing our little girl grow in confidence and we know all of the team play a huge part in that.
All of the staff
are fantastic but I would give a shout out to Lucia who seems to go above and beyond with our daughter even though not her key worker!

My child has been attending Little Years for 10 months now and is very happy there. The communication from nursery is good. They make a lot of effort to get out and about with the children and do a range of activities to support their development. I feel staff listen to me and get to know my child
well.

My child has been coming to Little Years Helmsley Nursery since he was 6 months old. He will be 3 in March. There's been a few different changes in staff along the way, as there are in many working environments.
However, he has always been happy with each member of staff and I've always been
confident in leaving him with them.
We're both particularly confident and extremely comfortable with the team which we have at the moment. I can leave him knowing 100% that he will be very well looked after. Whether it's with exciting and fun activities or love and cuddles if needed. The team do seem to understand he's needs likes /dislikes, which is very comforting to see.
Its fun to hear from both my son and the team about the relationship which they have.
Thank you to the team for all you do with him.

My daughter loves going to this nursery where the staff are so friendly and welcoming. She very quickly learnt them all by name and talks about them at home. Great that they get the kids outdoors exploring all throughout the year!

My child enjoyed every day at the nursery. All teachers are full of support. Thank you all so much for taking such good care of my child very well. I can recommend that Little Year Nursery@ Helmsley is a safe and reliable place to send your children here.

Great atmosphere to the nursery with lovely staff that my daughter loves. They feed her up and are always doing activities, messy play and little trips into town or out to the garden. My daughter always goes in without a look back and comes home happy, it's great to be sending her somewhere that I
know they take good care of her.

My little boy has been at LYN in Helmsley for over a year. He has thrived in that time. I was worried about his speech and language development but the team really reassured me and put a plan in place to help him, which was put into action not only by the team member who was leaving but was
crucially also then taken up by others so I always felt someone was across it. Really good nursery staff are so precious, and are increasingly under pressure. I want to say thank you so much to everyone at Helmsley who do so much for my little boy.

My child is very happy at Little Years Nursery. He often comes home full of stories about trips to the park, baking or arts and crafts activities related to topics in nature and the seasons, which he especially enjoys. The staff are excellent and know each child as an individual very well, and have
a lovely bond with the children.

My daughter loves going to this nursery in Helmsley. The staff are friendly, they do lots of good activities with the children and my daughter is always happy. There is an element of flexibility too if you need an extra day of care. It seems nice and personable.

Both my girls go to this nursery. Our eldest has been going for over a year and our youngest started in October. In that time I have never been concerned or worried about anything, I feel perfectly happy going to work knowing they are relaxed and happy. Our eldest is very excited on nursery mornings
and often asked if she can go on other days. They are very good at supporting her interests and hobbies and also, going on trips relevant to her interests. She has lots of friends which she often talks about and it's great being able to catch up with what she is doing on the app, knowing what she has eaten for dinner and seeing pictures. I would recommend this nursery to anyone. The staff are also very friendly and helpful! It's an extra piece of mind knowing they are well qualified too.

After returning to work myself I struggled with the thought of leaving my girls with anyone else and the thought of anyone else caring for them the way I wanted. But after a few weeks, I saw the difference when dropping them at the door and watching them run in happily and actually talking to me
about how excited they were to be going on a morning. It's a huge relief knowing that all the staff really do care about my girls along with all the other children. I could not begin to thank them enough. And I now drive to work happily knowing that they are in safe hands. I also love the daily updates while I am away from them.

Amazing little nursery - made us feel welcome from the very first initial visit. All the staff are great and my little one loves his day at nursery.
The space inside is well designed and allows lots of activities.
Great communication from the team whilst our little one is with them for the day.

My daughter started at this nursery in September and she settled so quickly, the staff were great with her. On the odd occasion since then that she has had a little wobble, communication has been brilliant, to put me at ease if I have left her a little upset. She has such fantastic days here and
babbles away about her day when I pick her up! Such a beautiful setting too!

Understanding and considerate staff. Lovely setting. Just all-round a great nursery. My child walks in happy now she has settled and always seems to have enjoyed herself. Communication is very good. Lovely, big space for play organised into exploration areas.
