About this day nursery

Little Angels Day Care, situated in Bury St. Edmunds, offers childcare on non-domestic premises for children aged 1 to 10 years old. 30pm, the nursery provides a stimulating setting where children are warmly greeted by friendly, kind, caring, and nurturing staff.

These close bonds help children feel safe and secure, fostering confidence as they explore a rich environment with abundant activities. The nursery, which received a 'Good' rating in its latest Ofsted inspection on 14th December 2022, creates an ambitious curriculum tailored to follow children's interests and build on their existing knowledge and abilities.

The environment is notably language-rich, with staff narrating play, introducing new words, and enthusiastically reading stories, cultivating a strong love for literature. Outdoor learning is a particular delight; children are captivated by examining ice in the garden, using small hammers to chip away at it, and sharing their thoughts on where ice originates, recognising their warm hands cause it to melt.

Furthermore, the setting effectively supports all children, including those with English as an additional language, and maintains strong partnerships with parents, who describe the setting and staff as 'amazing'. The nursery also places a strong emphasis on mathematical development, weaving concepts of weight, measure, number recognition, and counting into daily activities, such as baking.

We thank you very much for your efforts on behalf of our children. However, I hope that you will provide some educational materials such as letters and words, especially for children who have school next year, because my daughter speaks Arabic and I want her to have learned something before the next school year. Thank you.

Our son has loved his time at Little Angels since starting earlier this year. The staff are friendly, caring and approachable and rapidly established great relationships with him. There is a wide range of toys and activities laid on inside the nursery and a wonderfully resourced outdoor area with lots of fun things to do (if you're under five!). All staff are communicative, reliable and skilled; we feel that they are excellent childcare providers for our little whirlwind, keeping us updated about each day. We cannot praise Little Angels enough and thank them for everything they continue to do. Our son's review: 'bubble, yes, ball, wohoo'.

My son has just started attending this nursery and I can't fault them in any way. He loves going and enjoys every moment with the staff. Great communication when picking up and dropping off. It's also lovely and reassuring to get updates on how he is doing during his time at nursery. Thankyou for making me feel reassured that my son is having a good time at nursery 🙂

I don’t have enough good things to say about Little Angels - my daughter has absolutely thrived since starting here. She is always happy to attend, and comes home cheerful, clean and clearly well taken care of. The staff are incredible, excellent at communicating any events or issues to me, and so welcoming to my daughter. They were so patient and understanding when she was upset at the first few handovers when she initially started, now she runs in to greet them, having developed strong relationships with each member. Additionally, when I was arranging care here, I was in another country and unable to physically visit. Abbie and Joan were so helpful and worked with me to make enrollment easy and clear, going above and beyond what I expected. Safeguarding is also strongly adhered to. The facilities are incredibly clean internally, with slippers being worn inside and external shoes being taken off in the cloakroom. The garden has a huge variety of toys and play features. There is also ample pram storage, which I really appreciated having a large and bulky double wagon. The ability to book creche sessions on an ad hoc basis is also incredibly helpful for me as someone who often has to travel for work at a last minute basis, and also very reasonably priced. The app is also really handy to see how my daughter’s day went, and it’s lovely getting photos of her day with staff observations. I can’t wait to watch her continue to go from strength to strength as she continues her time here; I would strongly recommend Little Angels to any parents looking for a nursery for their little ones.

My little boy has been attending her just over half a year. He's gone from strength to strength and had developed so much whilst attending here. He seems to enjoy his time there and always has alot to say at pick up. I've recommended the nursery to several local friend's and family. Cant wait to see where the rest of his time here takes him. Thank you for all your hard work and care x
