My 2 year old daughter was attending this nursery from middle of September to 23 of October.In that short time of period she had 4 accidents with one ended up in a&e. Official complaints about safety of my child didn't really helped as even after the complaint the accidents keep happening. My daughter was attending other nursery prior to little oaks and a childminder at the weekends with no issues not even single accident. Unfortunately with little oaks that wasn't the case. Every week I got accidents reports that my daughter was injured.I heard only excuses that unfortunate accidents can happen and from her first key person quoting " I can't look after your child all the time". The setting is lovely and I hoped to send my daughter to school there however I had to immediately withdraw her from the little oaks nursery due to lack of safeguarding. I received a refund of remaining days and withdrawal went smoothly. Hopefully they will improve keeping the children safe

Our 2 yr old son has been attending this nursery for nearly 3 months now, and we couldn't be happier with the care, support and nurturing environment. The staff are welcoming, attentive, and invested in the children's wellbeing and development. A special thanks to his key worker, who has been absolutely fantastic from the start. She takes the time to truly understand his personality, interests, and needs, and it's clear how much he has grown in confidence since being under her care. Her communication is always thoughtful and reassuring. She goes above and beyond to make sure he feels safe, included, and encouraged. We are grateful for the positive impact the staff have had on his nursery experience. They are happy to answer questions and address concerns. Overall, this nursery provides a loving, stimulating environment. The activities are creative and engaging. Thanks to dedicated staff my son has settled in well and comes home with a smile. We would recommend this nursery.

Little Oaks has been the best decision we've made for our 30-month-old's nursery transition. He started in September after spending a year at a previous nursery, and within just four days we noticed a dramatic change in his personality. His speech has improved tremendously, his interests have expanded, and his confidence and independence have grown so much. The care he receives is truly exemplary. The practitioners are amazing, they give thoughtful attention to each child, which I believe really supports their individual development. I've been recommending Little Oaks to anyone who will listen! We're so happy we made this choice for our little boy, and I feel completely confident that he's in great hands and will be well prepared for school.

In the short time my little girl has been attending the nursery it is clear to see the care and attention the staff have towards the individual needs of the children. My 2 year old is going through the natural stage of separation anxiety so drop off can be a little teary, however a huge thank you to her key worker, practitioners and nursery manager who have made this transition so much easier for both me and my daughter. Regular updates and photos throughout the day are reassuring for us as parents and reinforces the personalised care my daughter receives. The photos show my daughter being given an abundance of exciting opportunities to learn through play and exploring the wonderful outdoor provision the nursery has to offer. I am excited for her journey to continue and see her independence grow. I would absolutely recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a kind, family feel setting with very experienced and dedicated staff. We couldn't ask for a better setting! Thank you again.

My little girl started nursery in July, and it has been an absolutely wonderful journey so far. In just a short time, we've seen such beautiful progress in her confidence, independence, and overall development. One of the things I especially love is the emphasis on outdoor exploration and nature-based learning, which gives a sense of curiosity and adventure. The individual attention and genuine care she receives each day make us feel so reassured as parents. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring, personalised setting that also encourages children to explore, imagine, and grow. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for their dedication and kindness - you are making a lifelong impact.
