My little one absolutely loves going to The Little Angels Nursery, simply because the staff makes sure she is really well looked after, with tasty healthy meals and a great variety of fun activities. She has settled in really well and I am very thankful to the staff for making sure she feels comfortable and happy every time she is in. Also the feedback that we as parents receive is fantastic! I love getting little pictures of her playing through the day and also the written feedback on how she's been developing her skills, as well as what she's eaten, how much she's eaten and nappy changing times. Absolutely amazing team work, best nursery for my little one ☺️

Both my daughter and 10 month old son (currently in the baby-room) have been happy attendants of Little Angels, through from infancy to graduation age. The team are personal, caring, and both listen to you, but also inform you of your child's progress and experiences. Communication is really good, via email, and the online app is great for seeing updates through the day on what your child has got up to and what they have eaten etc (the food is good!). Any queries financial or child-related are answered promptly, politely and informatively. Best of all is the team of caring staff, who I trust completely and who took/take such good care of my of my kids. I would highly recommend this nursery, as although it may not look so flashy on the outside, the facilities and the people on the inside make it brilliant.

My little girl has been attending Little Angels for 15 months and she loves it. The staff are so attentive and professional. She always goes in happy and comes home happy. They have been wonderful in helping her develop and grow. It’s so lovely to see how far she’s come in the past 15 months and how confident she is. Thank you to all the staff.

Our son started with Little Angels just before he turned 11 months and we are sad to be leaving now he's just over 2 due to moving house. In the whole time he has been with Little Angels we've never had any concerns about how he is getting on due to regular updates, and really quick responses to any questions we have either in person at drop off/pick up or by email. In terms of development our son came on leaps and bounds from being at the nursery, both in physical and academic development. He comes home saying new words every week, and the staff at nursery recognised early signs of him being ready to transition to using a potty and gave us advice on how to support at home! All the staff that have worked with our son during his time clearly have got to know him as an individual and are always able to tell us about his day and how he's been on pickup! I cannot recommend Little Angels enough, if we weren't relocating we would have seen our son go from first steps all the way up to pre-school. We're sad to say good bye!

What an amazing nursery. My little girl absolutely loves it here. We get regular pictures and updates at least once a week through 'Tapestry' online which is a great way to record her progress and see what she gets up to. Every week she's doing something fun and different like water play, food tasting or trips to the garden centre to see the fish. The staff and management are so caring and personable. It's like a second family for her. I wish I could rate it 10 stars!
