All staff members are very friendly, professional and supportive but we want to say special thanks to Ellie! My daughter love her and they have had a special bond with ; still talking about her . Daily feedback is great, they really care about children’s learning and development and ensure parents are involved too! We are pleased to highly recommend ELN and believe it has provided the perfect foundation for our daughter to continue her journey in life. Thank you!

Simply the best 😁. I highly recommend Early Learners Nursery. My boys love it. The staff are excellent, always professional, welcoming and helpful. This goes as far as their Customer Services Team too. Things you can’t do without: *App Activities - they have a handy app which allows me to see what activities my boys have done during the day *App Meals - they had a fantastic menu available. All meals my boys have had are logged so I know exactly what they has eaten and the approximate quantity *App Assessment - the staff carry out regular assessments which gives an indication of my boys progress *App Photo Album - they also take photos and videos during activities. It’s always a great feeling seeing your kids having fun *App Messages - this is great because you can contact the staff at the nursery at anytime during they day. Their response time is excellent so you are worry free My boys are moving on to ‘big school’. A huge thank you to Early Learners and my boys will be happy to see you at Holiday Club.

Our little boy started with Early Learners (Sutton) a few weeks ago and the difference from his old nursery is very clear, straight away they recognised the additional support he requires and put things in to place from day one. Even though our little boy can't tell us yet it's clear he loves Early Learners as he runs up to the doors each morning and is smiling and laughing all the way home after we pick him up. Big thank you to Drew and Josephine (along with all other staff who have been so friendly, warm, and welcoming) for their support so far, it's making the world of difference to our little boy and to us too. Please keep sending him home covered in dirt and tired, it shows us he's had a fun day :-)

Absolutely amazing team, I was initially worried about leaving my son anywhere with anyone when going back to work, my son has been here for three years and honestly the staff are like bonus family to my son, they are teaching the children continuosly, ensuring all the children's needs are met, it's a clean,safe, friendly environment, even when learning something at home nursery are alongside with you in nursery hours, so when potty training at home, nursery are also following the same which I think is brilliant, makes the transition from nappy to undies easier! I will be sad to leave the team behind when he starts 'big' school, they are lovely and fab at what they do...second to none, well done team early learners nursery Sutton! And many thanks! X

My daughter is learning so much and developing after spending time with the amazing staff! The Parent Admin app is updated regularly whilst she is at nursery and makes it very easy to get in touch with the staff if you have any questions. Facilities are new and always clean and tidy.
