My son has been attending this nursery for the last 2 years since he was 11 months old. I have peace of mind when I drop him off as I know he will be well looked after and that he will be happy. All the staff listen to any concerns/requests parents make, and it's clear that they have all the children's best interests at heart when making decisions. The place has a very family and caring atmosphere, and it is focused on learning through activities and fun. My husband and I are super happy with our choice of nursery.

Wonderful nursery with a lovely, caring team. The staff take care of every meticulous detail to ensure your child is in a fun and loving environment. The baby room is very warm and homely with lots of different sensory areas for your child to explore and play. There are many activities planned throughout the day and frequent updates with videos and pictures shared with you through their own app (so you never feel too far away :-)). My daughter is very happy here and I would highly recommend this nursery to every parent! Thank you to Chloe and your team.

As a parent of an enrolled child, Little Leaders Pre School's commitment to children's growth and development is truly commendable. The staff are highly qualified and genuinely caring individuals who create a nurturing and supportive environment for a variety of age groups. The nursery's curriculum is thoughtfully designed to Foster holistic development and engagement. As a parent, I have witnessed firsthand how my child has thrived. Further, communication between the nursery and the parents is excellent, keeping parents well-informed of their children's progress. Moreover, Little Leaders nursery strives to build a community among parents, shares regular updates and organises a number of activities around the year to bring parents and children together for wider activities, creating opportunities to engage and build relationships with other families. Infact, several of my child's present friends are current and former students at Little Leaders Nursery --- Top marks all around. Keep up the great work!

Little Leaders is a great nursery with a lovely team. I instantly felt welcomed by Chloe (manager) who was so friendly and bubbly during our whole show around. The nursery has a lovely cosy baby room that feels like a home from home with very friendly staff. The baby room has a separate sleep room which I just loved as it is cosy and dark so the little ones will feel like they are at home. Their garden space is lovely as it is under a roof which means the little ones can go out in all weathers and not have to worry about if it is raining. I am kept well informed about my little ones progress and am very happy with the nursery. I know my baby is in safe hands which is the most important thing to me. Would definitely recommend this nursery to everyone

My son has been going here for the past 2 years and we couldn't be happier with the facilities, staff and all round caring and nurturing atmosphere we've come to take for granted here. We are extremely well informed on my child's progress and the staff really went above and beyond when it came to his potty training. We are beyond grateful for the wonderful and welcoming staff here!
