Our 2 year old daughter is currently attending Little Hands, and our 5 year old son recently left to start school after three years here. We have found this to be an excellent nursery. Staff are welcoming and informative. We found Little Hands was great for getting our 5 year old ready for school! Their online platform is great, it is reassuring to be able to log on and see pictures of your child and see what they have been doing in their day, as well as what they have eaten etc. Highly recommend!

The nursery is very welcoming and my little boy absolutely loves going there. They put up observations on the app and do a daily diary online which is lovely to see whilst I am at work. We are really happy with Little Hands Daycare and would highly recommend xx

Excellent nursery, my twin boys absolutely love it! The staff are all really friendly and take time with my special needs son. Honestly couldn't ask for a better setting for my boys.
