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.

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.

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.

My daughter has attended Little Minnows since 9 months (she's now nearly 2) and all I can say is it has been a fantastic journey. The staff are so caring and kind and made settling in easy, and every day a wonderful experience. The meals, time outside and trips all make this a fantastic place to be and learn. The nursery itself has been very good in accommodating our changing schedule and always adapting to our needs. I am so glad I picked Little Minnows!
22 July 2024
My daughter has been attending Little Minnows from the very start and has got to enjoy all of the different stage rooms. The staff have been very kind and nurturing with encouraging her shy character to become more confident. She loves to play outside in the lovely big garden come rain or shine and always comes home with a big smile on her face. One of the most important things, is that the chef cooks the children's meals from scratch and never leaves the children with food allergies, go without. Thank you again to the team at Little Minnows!

I’m not one for reviews but I feel the need to recommend Little Minnows as highly as possible. My two children are part of the Little Minnows family and from day one they have been nothing but amazing. They both absolutely love it and not a day has gone past where they weren’t super excited to be handed over at the door. When my youngest had meningitis, they went above and beyond what anyone would expect to help support us through a very difficult time. They truly believe in a home-from-home ethos. We recently looked to move home but when we realised it would involve moving the kids from Little Minnows we just couldn’t do it. The building and resources are incredible, the outside space is unrivaled and the staff are like family, what more could you want?!

The directors and all staff at Little Minnows are all so professional, calm, friendly and very knowledgeable. Each time we drop and pick up our child at Little Minnows, every staff member always gives clear and professional feedback on how your child has been, on their day's activities like how they have been, what they have eaten, what they have been learning. Overall fantastic team. My child always comes out at the end of the day smiling and being happy, which is proof of how well the directors and staff members look after all of their client's children and care for their children's welfare. The building has amazing security with ample CCTV, which rests my mind knowing that safeguarding is Little Minnow's number 1 priority as well as childcare.

Amazing staff, lovely facilities. Couldn’t wish for a better place to send my little boy. He has additional SENCO needs and the nursery are fantastic at accommodating him in helping me and my partner navigate the complicated world of how to get my third the support he needs.

My children just love going to Little Minnows Nursery and are provided with a wide range of activities to aid with development and exploration of the world around them. They are always excited to go in and even ask during the holidays if they can go in! All the staff are lovely and helpful and the facilities are amazing especially the lovely garden. Communication through EY Log is great and I love reading and seeing what the children have been up to during the day. Also the meals are always varied and nutritious.

Little Minnows Nursery is a truly wonderful nursery. My son has been attending since he was 10 months so we have been able to experience various ‘rooms’ and I can honestly say the experience has been faultless. The staff are kind, enthusiastic and thoughtful. They completely live up to their “home from home” mantra. Nothing is too much trouble and as I’m a very routine driven mum I’m sure I must cause some headaches (!) they are hugely helpful and willing to be flexible to my (and my sons needs) needs. Choosing a nursery was a difficult decision but I am so glad to have chosen Little Minnows and would (and have) recommend this fantastic childcare setting without any hesitation.

Outstanding nursery. The staff, the house, the grounds and the level of care are brilliant, and my children always look forward to going. The manager kindly showed us around, and you can see the pride she has for such a lovely nursery that she runs so well. Also, the whole team provide over and above support for my eldest, going through the SENCO process, and the support as a mum has been so great too. They have pushed for his referrals and met me to discuss ILPs and developments, and I am so grateful for their professionalism and dedication to my son. He is coming on so well, and it's with so many thanks to the whole team! My littlest loves his key workers, and you can tell with every new development and milestone, they are excited, right alongside us! I trust the nursery, and nothing is ever too much of an ask of them. I'm so grateful my kids go here.
