My 2 children attend this nursery, and our eldest has been for some time. The team are fantastic, Juliet is a superstar in respect to how she interacts with the children, so welcoming, encouraging, enthusiastic and wants to see them grow and develop. They focus on different learning topics, and everyday spend time outside which helps with their development. Would 100% recommend this nursery to other parents.

Lovely nursery, my girl seems very happy there, she always looks forward to going and loves the staff. They are always doing activities and my little girl has come on leaps and bounds with confidence and her speech and it is forever getting better. Never personally had any issues, and I would 100% recommend.

Our toddler joined on january of 2024. Ever since this nursery has helped him in being able to communicate his needs , articulate his words and talk legibly ( still a working progress) , his become more interactive and started sharing his toys with kids his age. A few suggestions would be: It would be great if you can include daily routine topic teachings like how to dress up , wear socks and shoes independently, how to properly brush teeth, comb hair, etc as they learn better when in their peer group than home, and it has come to my notice that sone nurseries do practice bed time routine drills as well, which if you could include as well would be great 😊

Both our boys attend Little Learners. Very welcoming and caring for the children. Always have lots of fun and I feel it's a hidden gem of a little nursery where everyone knows each other.
