Our children have had a truly wonderful experience at Little Chicks. Both my son and daughter thoroughly enjoy their time there and have developed excellent relationships with their teachers. My son, who joined at the age of two with a speech delay, has shown remarkable improvement in his speech after just one year at Little Chicks. He was initially unable to articulate basic words, and the team has provided exceptional support in this area. My daughter began attending in September, shortly after her first birthday, and has settled in beautifully, thanks to the support of the lovely team. She genuinely enjoys her time at Little Chicks and is very fond of all the activities they engage in with her. We feel incredibly fortunate to have Little Chicks. The environment is consistently clean, and the entire team exudes positive and friendly energy.

Our daughter started with Little Chicks when she was just 5 months old, and she’s now almost 15 months. We have watched her grow in confidence and happiness as she has become her own little character. From the very beginning, the staff have all been amazing going above and beyond in every way. The baby room staff are so nurturing and genuinely care for each child as if they were their own💕 We have had the best experience with both Heather and Louise as key staff as they’ve taken time get to know her personality and build the best bonds. The rest of the team are equally as amazing and we are so grateful to them.

Fantastic nursery! We moved our daughter here to be closer to home after having a career change. Lots of extra curricular trips and opportunities at no extra cost. The team were all amazing at helping her settle in. The App is great to stay up to date with what she’s eaten throughout the day, and an easy way to send messages to the team. Our daughter loved her time there, even if it was short as she just started school. She always waves when we drive past 🥰

An amazing setting with a beyond incredible team !! My little boy started at Little Chicks in February this year at 13 months old and they have been nothing short of amazing! He has come on leaps and bounds since being with Little Chicks and they have been detrimental to how well he has developed over the last 10 months. Their continuous nurturing, support and care has helped my son become the thriving, happy and confident little boy that he now is. They have become like family and my little boy loves and adores them all and not a day goes by where he doesn’t fondly speak of them all . They have always been a great support when needed. I cannot thank them enough for all they have done for us and cannot wait to see my little boy continue to thrive with them by his side !!
