I'm definitely that hard to please parent.......BUT Little Apples is definitely a Excellent nursery. My daughter loves it there. She is happy and thriving and nothing gives you that inner peace knowing that I'm leaving her in a happy nurturing and loving environment.

When my husband passed away, it was one of the most difficult times in my life, and I was deeply worried about how my son would cope with such a painful loss at such a young age. During that period of grief and uncertainty, the support we received from Little Apples Day Nursery meant more to our
family than words can fully express.
The staff showed genuine compassion, patience, and understanding towards my son and me. They created a safe and nurturing environment where he felt supported, cared for, and able to express his emotions. The team took the time to check in with him, comfort him when he was upset, and ensure that he felt secure throughout the day. Their kindness and attentiveness helped him gradually adjust during an incredibly difficult time.
What stood out most was the empathy shown by the staff. They did not treat my son as just another child in the nursery; they truly cared about his wellbeing and made every effort to support him emotionally. Thank you again

This nursery provides an outstanding level of care and education in a warm, welcoming environment where children truly thrive. From the moment you enter, it is clear how much thought and care has gone into creating a safe, stimulating space that supports learning through play. The staff are
exceptional-kind, professional, and genuinely passionate about supporting each child's individual development. They build strong relationships with both children and parents, ensuring everyone feels valued and informed. Activities are engaging, age-appropriate, and carefully planned to support social, emotional, and cognitive growth. Communication with parents is excellent, offering regular updates and reassurance. Mealtimes are well managed, with nutritious food that encourages healthy habits. Overall, this nursery offers far more than childcare; it provides a nurturing foundation for confident, happy learners. I would highly recommend it to any family.

Both of my girls have been to Little apples since they were 14months. It is daunting leaving your child with anyone but from day 1 the staff made us all feel comfortable and welcome.
Its a lovely community with many staff having been there for many years and some fun PTA events.
Our eldest has
just started school and has settled incredibly quickly which I think is a huge credit to the experience at Little Apples. Little Apples also dealt with her allergies so well.
My younger daughter still attends the nursery and looks forward to seeing her friends and teachers on her nursery days!

September was my daughter's last month in the Little Apples baby room before moving up. She's really flourished there thanks to the wonderful care, support and attention she received. It was clear she mattered to all the staff, not just her key worker (who was amazing and so attentive to her needs).
I'd highly recommend Little Apples to any parent who wants to feel confident their baby is being truly cared for while they're at work.

Amazing nursery, with lovely staff and great facilities ! My daughter currently attends and my son was there from 2 years old and now has just started primary school. He is so confident with going to school because of his time and development at little apples!

Really happy with the service the team have provided for my child. They are very attentive and helpful and genuinely care about the wellbeing of all the kids. There is a good range of activities throughout the day and lots of outdoor play when weather is suitable.

Our always has such a great time at Little Apples. All the staff are clearly incredibly dedicated and it's been amazing to see how our daughter has developed even just over the six months she's been there.

We started attending Little Apples Day Nursery in September, and I am very happy with our experience so far. My daughter settled in much quicker than I expected thanks to the warm and caring staff. The team are always welcoming, attentive, and supportive, which makes me feel confident that my child
is in good hands.

My daughter attended Little Apples from 16 months to age 4, and I'm so grateful for the incredible experience she had. From day one, it was clear this was more than just childcare - it was a nurturing, joyful space where children are truly loved, supported, and inspired to grow.
She came home daily
with stories, songs, and new things she'd learned. Her development - academically, socially, and emotionally - was phenomenal. She built lasting friendships and strong bonds with the staff.
Drop-offs and pick-ups were always met with smiles. She felt safe, valued, and confident. Activities like Spanish, cooking, and forest school kept her engaged and expanded her world.
The staff create a rich, supportive environment, treating each child as an individual. They nurtured her strengths, encouraged her challenges, and kept me involved every step of the way.
Little Apples gave her a strong foundation for school and a happy start to life. Thank you for everything.

Incredible nursery, my daughter barely says goodbye to me because she adores the staff and her peers so much! The staff are so warm and friendly and I always feel so happy that we found it. Thank you for looking after and loving her so much x

Little Apples Day Nursery is such a warm and welcoming place. From the moment you walk in, it's clear they truly care not only for the children but also for the well-being of their staff. The team create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow.
What
really stood out was how well organised they are and how keen they are to keep improving, always looking for ways to raise their standards even further. A special thanks to two members of staff for the time, effort, and genuine care they show; it really makes a difference

Both of my sons have gone to little apples and have had very positive experiences. My eldest was always happy going in and came out full of energy and happy. He was there from 18 months to age 4. When my second child joined at only 6 months old, the staff in baby room went out of their way to make
sure I felt comfortable leaving him with them and that he was safe and happy. The main thing that stands out for me is the staff. They put so much effort it and genuinely love and care for the children and that shows. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend little apples!

Both of my children have attended Little Apples, from ten months old. They received great care all the way from Baby Pips through to PreSchool. Their graduation day was a memorable moment before my son left; having been well prepared by the teachers he is now in primary school where he is thriving.
My youngest is now in PreSchool and loves choosing the learning themes, woodland sessions and Spanish. We will be very sad to say goodbye to Little Apples when he starts school in 2025.

My baby has been extremely happy since attending from September. All the staff in every room are always so friendly and welcoming when you walk in. Staff in my baby's room always respond to queries quickly and have great communication regarding progress or anything that needs addressing promptly. We
feel we are always well informed and that nothing is ever too much trouble for them.
All the activities look amazing and we are so pleased that our baby has a place here where she can begin her early education. I highly recommend this nursery!
Thank you to everyone who looks after her.

Great nursery with fantastic staff who genuinely care about the children. My daughter loves going here every day and has made some wonderful friends. The staff are superstars, always engaging with the kids in such a positive and nurturing way. I completely trust them with my daughter's care and
development. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a safe and enjoyable environment for children to thrive. Highly recommend this nursery for any parent looking for a place that feels like a second home for their child.

Both of my children have been at this nursery for 4 years and have loved in particular the care and concern from the staff to the children. Both have really enjoyed their time spent at the nursery they have learnt so much and have made friends that they have taken into the school. The outdoor space
is also very good, lots for the kids to do and enough equipment for to stretch their imaginations. I would definitely recommend.
28 March 2024
I Feel happy that my daughter has settled so well into red apples class. I can leave her with no tears and know that she is being well looked after.
I can also check on the app for the activities they are up to, what she has had to eat and drink etc.
My daughter's speech has improved a lot since
attending here.
I also love the fact that the same staff have been there from ten years ago when my twin boys went there, happy staff, happy children.
28 March 2024
My son has been going to Little Apples since he was nine months old (April 2022), and we couldn't be happier. He has been learning a lot, and I'm really proud of his work shared every day, but for me, the most important thing is how they make him feel and how well he is looked after; the staff are
brilliant, so kind and caring. When he is at home, he calls out for them and constantly chats about them. He is always excited to go in and spend time there. It is wonderful to know he is in a place where he is happy and really cared for.
