I would recommend this nursery to any of my friends. The team at Little Dolphins are great, they really care for the children and show so much encouragement in everything they do. Our daughter has been going through a tough phase and the support we have had from the team has been invaluable. My daughter loves the wow moments and everyone there makes a big deal of all their achievements doesn't matter how big or small. Both my children absolutely love it there!

My son has just started at little dolphins and he was made to feel very welcome and so comfortable in his new setting by the team. I am regularly updated on his progress and always welcomed to call and see how he is doing throughout the day which is comforting. The meals are nutritious and he enjoys all. The team are always active and arranging exciting day trips out with the children. I am happy with little dolphins and my son is settling very well too. Highly recommended.

I cannot speak of Little Dolphins highly enough. My son is now two and started at 9 months old and he loves all of the staff, we receive regular updates and photos on what he did each day he attends and he skips in happily every morning. We wanted a small setting with caring staff, good food, play and cuddles; all of which they have in abundance.

My son has been going to Little Dolphins for just over 2 years. He loves it there. All the staff are very friendly and they have taken great care of my son and have even embraced his tri-lingualism trying to learn some of the words we use at home to help him grow more confident in using English. The setting is lovely and bright and there are always activities and toys to be enjoyed. The garden is great for the kids to spend some energy in with a variety of toys. I would not hesitate to recommend Little Dolphins to anyone looking for a nursery in the area.

We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Little Dolphins to anyone. Our daughter has been going for over two years and we’ve seen her form close bonds with the staff and her little friends! Little Dolphins really does have a family feel to it and the staff care so much for the children. The activities are really varied and the outdoor space is fantastic.
