I was really shocked to look back at such awful reviews of this nursery. Although I did notice they are very old reviews... My daughter has attended little giggles great Moore for 1year now. I saw 4 nurseries in total and this one stood out above the rest. If I've ever had any concerns management and room staff have been a great support. My daughter loves going here ans has a great bond with staff and the other children. She gets excited when she knows she is going in the morning. I am very happy with the care she receives. She will soon be changing rooms due to her age. I'm a little nervous for this but hopeful that our positive experience will continue.

Amazing nursery. I came to view this nursery back in April 2018, all the rooms were so tidy and all the children looked very happy!! My daughter has now been there for nearly a year and she loves her time there. The staff are always very helpful, friendly and I always find out what my daughter has done that day. They make sure every nappy change is noted, any accidents and what they’re eating etc. I’ve never had any issues with this nursery and would highly recommend them if you’re looking for a nursery / preschool to send your children. I can always relax knowing my daughter is being looked after at their nursery!

I looked at 6 nurseries in my area and this one was better then any I had seen. My son has started at 2 years after being at home with me from birth. I thought this was going to be the hardest job ever but within 1 week he was settled. This is due to the staff they are exceptional, caring, kind and will go overboard to cater for each child’s needs. It’s such a relief knowing he is so happy and safe whilst I go to work. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Both my girls Willow (age 3) and Piper (1) go to Little Giggles Great Moor and I wouldnt have them go anywhere else. Willow joined in the recommendation from my sister and I'm so happy. The staff are wonderful, willow joined from a year old and has learnt and developed so much. Piper has just recently joined and I was nervous about having to drop her off (during this pandemic) and not being able to see her react to being left alone. But with the help of the staff at Great Moor, I was instantly settled knowing that she was good and happy, Piper loves coming to nursery and her skills have progressed so much since going. I would recommend the friendly loving staff and nursery all day. I look forward to Willow & Piper returning in september. Thank you x
