Our little one absolutely loves nursery and it's so lovely to see her happy and thriving there. Little Thornton is a lovely place with a comforting, family atmosphere, all the staff are so friendly and welcoming and their love and care for the children is clear to see. The place is amazingly clean
and baby room is always set up beautifully with lovely interesting things for them to do and explore. Communication between nursery and home is excellent as well and I feel completely up to date with what our little one is up to during the day. It means the world to me as a working mummy to have somewhere that my little one can come for the day and feel confident that she will be happy, taken care of and will be supported and encouraged in her early steps of learning and development, thank you Little Thornton xx

Great nursery, staff are fantastic with my child. It took my child a bit of time to settle in and the staff have welcomed him with open arms. They provided good learning skills. They are helping to build his confidence. Overall I am very pleased with this nursery and would recommend to others.

My little boy transferred to michild Thornton after not settling in well at the different well known chain nursery nearby. The staff that Michild understood our situation and more importantly, they understood him and his previous experience. He now attends nursery two days a week and enjoys it.
Couldn't be happier with michild Thornton.

The nursery is new, modern, and exceptionally clean. It offers excellent equipment and facilities for the children, and all the staff are warm, welcoming, and friendly-especially those in the baby room. The activities are thoughtfully planned, and my little boy always has a wonderful time. I also
appreciate the regular updates on the app, which keep me informed about his day and progress. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Otis's Nursery has been absolutely amazing from day one. The staff are so kind, caring, and genuinely invested in the children you can really feel how much love and attention goes into everything they do. Otis has thrived since starting here, and it's such a comfort knowing he's in a safe,
nurturing, and happy environment. Communication is excellent, the activities are engaging and thoughtful, and it's clear the team truly understands each child as an individual. Nothing ever feels too much trouble, and every day we're greeted with warmth and reassurance. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Otis's Nursery, it's a place where children are truly cared for, not just looked after. 10/10 in every way, I can not recommend enough! & from the bottom of my heart thank you so much to all the staff in the baby room!

My daughter goes to this nursery and honestly- the staff cannot do anything more. The staff are all so lovely with my daughter and she is so happy to be going each morning, with a smile on her face. She has made friends with a few children from there already and her speech and toileting has been so
much better.
The nursery is also very clean and surrounded by fun activities.
Thanks guys x

My little boy has been going since the nursery opened in September. He loves every minute. He comes home and tells me all the exciting things that he's been up to, telling me all about his friends.
The staff are amazing and will happily take their time to provide extra comfort when is needed.
From taking my little boy out of one nursery and not trusting anyone to take of him, I can 100% say that I trust all the staff that are caring for him. He is so happy and he is learning so much.
Thankyou for everything you do for him x

My little boy loves nursery now, as a first time mum I wasn't comfortable leaving my son with just anyone. The staff have ensured a smooth transition for all of us as a family. My son attends 4.5 days a week & now gets excited to go in. All of the staff at Little Thornton are kind, caring & make
sure I'm up to date with everything developmentally.
14 January 2026
My child has really progressed since starting Thornton nursery in September. The staff are caring and skilled , it is a nurturing environment, focus on learning through play & great communication (apps, photos), and happy.
I would highly recommend this nursery.

Would highly recommend this nursery - as a first time mum I was petrified of the thought of leaving my child with anyone who wasn't family - but now the staff here have BECOME family. It was a massive step to take but manager Angela & all her staff have provided so much reassurance from the very
beginning. Every member of staff takes the time to know your child inside & out, they're patient & really help support with meeting milestones. There are clear targets for my son that are being worked towards & through their love and support he now runs happily into nursery excited for each day. The atmosphere is calm, safe & fun. The resources are high quality, beautiful play stations set up, great outdoor space, clean & hygienic toilets & changing facilities. The food is top quality and meals made by hand on site daily. We have huge sensory / food avoidance issues with my son right now but they never give up on him or make him feel left out. Overall I am so so glad we chose this nursery

Angela, Jess and Sophie have made our daughters (23mth) start at nursery a dream. We were at another nursery before this one but have switched and even added an extra day. The facilities are outstanding, large, modern, clean a huge outdoor area. The staff are amazing including the key workers, and
the nursery has also started to engage in local community putting on events and the like. Our daughter has special dietary requirements and the nursery cater for all that, the app they use keeps you up to date on everything that is happening throughout the day.
Overall a fantastic nursery.

Had my daughter in this nursery for 4 months now and the change and improvement in her speech and social skills has been amazing. Her confidence and learning have come along great. The staff are all amazing, friendly and helpful and very attentive to all the kids needs. The food is awesome they eat
better than than I did at home the menu choices are very good with lots of variety. Could not praise this nursery anymore. Very happy with the service

This is an excellent nursery. My little boy was very nervous and did not want to be left at nursery at first. We had had a bad experience at another nursery who just wanted us to leave him straight away but Michild gave us as many warm up session that we needed and we were able to break him in
gently. I'm so grateful for this. He is now making friends and his confidence has come on so much.
