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.

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.

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.

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.

We are absolutely thrilled with our son's experience since starting at Little Apples Nursery School last June. The staff team is truly amazing (special shout out to two particular members of staff), and their dedication to nurturing children is evident. Their structured approach to learning is exemplary, with clear objectives that guide each child's development. We've witnessed firsthand how they gently guide him towards these goals, fostering his growth and understanding every step of the way. Moreover, the communication between the staff and us as parents is outstanding. They utilise an app that keeps us updated on our son's activities and progress and even provides insights into his daily experiences. Additionally, their commitment to regular one-on-one feedback sessions through parent evenings, ensures that we are always informed and involved. Overall, we couldn't be more pleased with Little Apples Nursery School. It's truly a place where our son is not only learning but thriving.

I have been hugely impressed since my son started at Little Apples just over a year ago. The staff have always provided him with great care, and his development is amazing to see on a day-to-day basis. I am hugely impressed also by the food menu on offer with a variety of all flavours and cuisines differing each week.

After several viewings, we chose Little Apples because we got the best feeling from the manager, she is wonderful! We also like the layout of the nursery where there are separate rooms for each age group and they are all connected to each other. They have organised woodland sessions, home kits, Spanish lessons, events such as Christmas / Summer / Easter fairs, parent events Mother’s Day afternoon tea, doughnuts with daddy, painting pumpkins, storytelling with parents. The kids have even met firefighters and sat in a fire engine and met police officers. In regards to development, our son is 3 and already doing most of the 4/5-year-old development stages so the nursery is all round excellent. In summary, our son has had the best 3.5 years learning, making friends, having fun and being taken care of by some fantastic people and we are really happy we chose Little Apples as our nursery. Thank you to all the staff at Little Apples, we highly recommend this nursery.
