My daughter attended this nursery for four years and when leaving for school she was ready both independently and with pockets of knowledge already. Myself and partner couldn't of thanked all the hardworking staff that took the time to get her ready for her next big step in life, right from helping her to take her first steps all the way to learning how to write her name. The staff were always so caring and knew my daughter so well. My daughter often speaks about her time nursery and often wants to go back to see everyone!

Both my children have attended Little Memories day nursery and everyone has always been so supportive over the years, the learning and development opportunities that they have been given has always been outstanding. Both of my children were cared for by the most amazing nursery nurses who always went above and beyond, I cannot thank them enough for the care and love they have always shown . My daughter continues to grow at school having the best start possible and my son goes off to school in September already full of confidence and prepared for his next adventure. If I had to pick a nursery out of 100 outstanding nurseries this one would be the top one for me Thank you 🤩

We couldn’t be happier with this nursery. From day one, the staff have been so kind, patient, and genuinely caring. Our child has grown so much in confidence, independence, and happiness since starting here, and it’s obvious how much thought goes into the activities and learning each day. The team communicate really well with parents, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing our child is safe, supported, and having fun. The environment is warm, welcoming, and well-organised, and you can tell the children are truly cared for, not just looked after. We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing, positive place for their child. Thank you for everything you do

My son has been at Little Memories Day Nursery since he was just 8 months old and is now 4, and it’s hard to put into words what this place has meant to us. What started as a nursery quickly became his second home and a huge part of our lives. Leaving your baby at such a young age is one of the hardest things, but from day one, the love and reassurance from the staff made it feel right. I’ve travelled from far just to bring him here, and I would do it a hundred times over. The care, patience, and genuine love they’ve shown my son goes far beyond a job — they have helped raise him. They’ve supported him through every stage, celebrated his milestones, wiped his tears, and helped him grow into the confident, kind, happy little boy he is today. As he prepares to start school this September, it’s incredibly emotional knowing this chapter is coming to an end. I will always be grateful for the role Little Memories has played in shaping my son’s early years. They will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you for all you do xx
