Little Latham House is such a lovely and welcoming nursery with caring and attentive staff. All of the activities for the children are interesting and engaging, with something new every day and it's clear how much thought and effort goes into them. Communication with parents is excellent, we are regularly informed about our child's day and any messages are always responded to very quickly. Our child has settled in quickly and is so excited each morning at drop off. Thank you to everyone at Little Latham House for all that you do, we feel very grateful to have found such a wonderful nursery and would highly recommend to any parent.

Our little girl who is nearly one started here around two weeks ago. She is a very clingy, sensitive soul, however I am amazed at how well she is doing. The staff are so lovely and approachable and I believe this is what is making our little girl feel at ease. The updates we get are detailed, honest and reassuring. I look forward to getting the photos and updates when she is there. The app they use for communication is brilliant, being able to message anytime and get a response very quickly (often within 10/20 mins) is excellent. I don't doubt our baby with thrive here. Thank you to all the staff at Little Latham House!

Our little guy has only been at Little Latham for 1 week but I already know we've chosen well. Ive spent the last year with my babba and it was difficult to let him go 😭 but they have made me feel secure, happy and comfortable in just 1 week. From how unbelievably organised they are to how immaculate the updates have been, I know every single thing hes up to in the day and always with a huge smile on his face. The activities are really geared towards variety and development which was important. A cuddle is always on hand if he needs it too 😊. Thankyou for making this difficult transition back to work a little easier.

We have felt incredibly welcomed at Latham House Nursery from the very start. The staff are always so friendly at morning drop-off, greeting us with warm smiles—it’s genuinely a pleasure to see. Our girls, aged 2.5 and 4, had previously been in a childminder setting, so I was a little nervous about the transition. However, they have settled in beautifully, and I truly believe this is thanks to the supportive and caring staff who made the transition so smooth and reassuring for our family. Thankyou to all of you. I look forward to the girls creating many lovely memories at the nursery.

My child has only been attending for 2 weeks but honestly we are so impressed by the standard of care for the children, the feedback we get and the updates through the day are fantastic! The activities are very well planned out and are great for the kids learning which I’ve noticed they take great pride in! Our minds are completely at ease and we are really excited for the journey it takes our little girl on!🫶
