My second granddaughter has attended Little Hands for just under two years. Everytime I pick her up she doesn't want to come home! The care she receives is second to none, both my grandchildren have attended here. The staff genuinely care for the children, I love how passionate the staff are when discussing little L's day with me. I honestly can't recommend this nursery enough. As you can imagine it was such a big decision for my Daughter to bring L and M to nursery, but it was the best decision she ever made. They are so content and they have thrived since attending. Thank you so much for all you have done, special shout out to NS for her support during L's transition from Babies to Toddlers.

As a mom to four I can not reccomend this nursery enough. The passion this team have for the children is outstanding! My daughters confidence blossomed. The staff are very approachable and went above and beyond to help my child and myself. Little Hands is the only nursery for us!

My child went here and I can’t recommend it enough! The staff are amazing, my child learnt so much by being here, definitely an outstanding nursery. My child built up some amazing relationships with the staff, and what is nice is that there doesn’t seem to be a high turnover of staff that you seem to get at other nurseries. They were always trying to improve and actually listened to parents feedback and made changes. Probably the best nursery in Stourbridge and Hagley area!

My child has been attending this nursery three. Days a week for the past 18 months and seeing how her speech and development has came along has amazed me, the range of activities and help my child has received has made me so happy. Just seeing how happy my child is after attending really pleased me and puts my confidence with the nursery to a really high level.

After reading reviews and seeing the recent outstanding rating from Ofsted we thought that the nursery was just what we were looking for. And this was backed up after visiting. How wrong we were! The lack of care and complete neglect was devastating. Incompetent staff and management only fully investigated our complaints and implemented safeguarding and disciplinary procedures when Ofsted were contacted. Lost all confidence in the nursery to the point we could not risk sending our child in again. This was within 3 weeks of starting at the nursery!
