Inclusion & environment
Staff work hard to ensure that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities have their needs met. The special educational needs coordinator is knowledgeable in her role. Staff support families and work with other professionals to implement strategies, to help children to make the best progress they can.
Children develop their physical skills through a range of stimulating experiences. They spend time in the outdoor area, where they develop their large-muscle skills, negotiating obstacle courses with confidence and enthusiastically jumping over low hurdles.
My son has attended Little Impressions since September 2024 and he has thrived! His confidence has grown so much and it is all down to the wonderful staff. They are so kind and caring and really care about the children’s development and have a genuine interest in each child’s development. I always get wonderful feedback at the end of the day and the staff really take the time to chat through their day and how they have been. My son is always provided with stimulating activities and outdoor play. He has also been on several walks/outings in to the local community. The staff and managers communicate very well with the parents and let us know of any changes, upcoming events, policy updates etc. I am so glad I chose this nursery for my son. I would highly recommend.
Read on GoogleMy daughter first starting nursery back in 2018 when she was 9 months old. She really enjoyed her days going into nursery and taking part in all the learning activities. We then went on to have our son, who joined the nursery in 2022. He also loved going into nursery!! The staff were always so happy and helpful. My children, and myself, developed great relationships with the staff. If ever I needed to change times due to my own work commitments, or if one of the children was poorly, the staff team and management were always accommodating and helpful for us. Nothing was ever too much trouble!! The nursery also made some wonderful, healthy meals and my children always came home happy and telling me of all the fun they had at nursery that day. When the time came to our son to leave in the summer of 2025, it was such an emotional day leaving the ladies at the nursery!!! They were a massive part of my children’s development and both children are thriving at school, and I strongly believe that’s down to such a great start they had at Little Impressions ❤️ thank you ladies xx
Read on GoogleAbsolutely fantastic nursery. My son was very shy and a bit hesitant leaving me when he first started. This didnt last very long, he then asked most days if he was at nursery today. The activities they provide are great and so engaging. Every member of staff are so polite with me telling me about his day, the photos are such a nice touch throughout the day while at work knowing he was being well looked after and having lots of fun. All the members of staff are friendly and always make time to say hello to me. Would always recommend this nursery. Great staff great nursery!!
Read on GoogleAbsolutely amazing nursery. I’ve had two children attend over the last four years and they have both loved it. The manager, Kerry, is incredibly supportive and accommodating, nothing is ever too much trouble. The staff are all so kind and caring, and they’ve built such lovely bonds with my children. There’s a fantastic range of activities and trips, which gives the children plenty of variety and stimulation, and they are extremely supportive with potty training too. I would 100% recommend Little Impressions to any parent!
Read on GoogleMy twins are nearly a year and a half now and have been going since they turned 1 - They love nursery and we as parents, see how much they have both come on since attending. The staff are all super lovely and really accommodating. I love that we get photo updates each day on WhatsApp and a detailed summary of what they’ve been up to throughout the day on paper when collecting them (inc. activities they’ve enjoyed, food eaten, wet/soiled nappies etc). We are super happy with the nursery and I am so relieved and grateful I chose this one as our twins are fully thriving there. All credit to the managers and fantastic staff!
