Little Agnes Nursery has been a wonderful part of our child’s early years. Our kid loved going in every day—she still talks about her teachers, her key person, and all the lovely friends she made there. We want to give a heartfelt thank you to Pati, Venetia, Kayla, Paula, Natalia, and Liliane—our kid was lucky to be looked after and supported by such a kind, professional, and nurturing group. It was sad to say goodbye as we moved out of the area. Highly recommended to any parent.

The team at Little Agnes have really supported my little boy and our family with his development. They are very attentive, keep little ones stimulated with such an amazing and diverse range of activities. We have never regretted our nursery choice once (same can't be said for other parents in the locale sadly). I would wholeheartedly recommend Little Agnes and will definitely send any future siblings there.

Our daughter started at Little Agnes just after her first birthday and we immediately felt at ease. From the moment we first entered the nursery, we were deeply impressed. The facility offers a wonderful space to learn and grow. The staff are fantastic! It's apparent that both staff and management truly care about the children: they are attentive to the needs of the children, are innovative in learning instruction and design, and are so very receptive to children and parents alike. Although originally anxious about sending our daughter to nursery, Little Agnes made the transition so smooth. The staff allowed us the space to ease our daughter into full-time care (a settling-in period), and we experienced our daughter build trust in her key practitioner. Communication is excellent - we receive regular updates from staff and an online app. Our daughter is thriving at Little Agnes, and we highly recommend the nursery to any parents.

We love Little Agnes! Absolutely amazing carers and staff, very affectionate and reliable. Everyone in the nursery is caring and friendly, the kind of environment you'd want for your child as the first place to be outside of your home. The nursery doesn't have their own private garden but that doesn't stop them to take kids for multiple outings every single day. In a way it works out well as the kids explore so many parks around the area. The nursery was very patient in grooming the personality of our little one in early years. I'd highly recommend if you are considering it. Well done Paty and staff!

Absolutely delighted with Little Agnes Nursery! My daughter has been attending for the past year, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. The staff is incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's development. They create a warm and welcoming environment where kids feel safe and loved. The curriculum is engaging and diverse, filled with activities that stimulate creativity, curiosity, and learning. My daughter comes home every day excited to share what she learned, from arts and crafts to early literacy and numeracy skills. Communication with parents is excellent. We receive regular updates and photos, which keep us informed about our daughter's progress and daily activities. The nursery also prioritizes safety and hygiene, giving us peace of mind, especially during these times.
