My baby son goes to this nursery since he was a 9 months baby, he loved it then, and absolutely loves it now being already a 2.5 years toddler. The teachers and management are all very professional, warm and welcoming and I am glad seeing my son happy being in this place.

We've had a very positive experience with Little Muffins and I can only be grateful for the childcare they provided us with. My 3Y old son stayed with them for a period of about 3 months and I wish we stayed longer, it was just logistically getting a bit difficult. This is my second child and I have experience with nurseries - the care here was amazing . He was coming back home every day with a number of "art projects" he'd completed, he always spoke about the setting and staff with a smile on his face and the nursery helped us with potty training. Every morning he was excited when I woke him up and he asked where we'll be going, and I said Little Muffins. I certainly felt my child is in safe hands. Thank you very much to Susan, Annette, Paola and the whole team!

This Nursery Is Stunning ! I cannot recomend this nursery enough , they have the best communication because everyday we recive our “daily” update with lot’s of picture’s what the children has been learning, every friday we recive the menu for the next week also all of the classroom’s activity planing what the children will be working towards next weeek. The nursery also promotes fantastic Languge & Makaton Sign of the Month, which I have not seen other local nurseries promote this. The staff is warm- hearted and loving toward’s the children. In addition my son and I adore the garden also the opportunities that they have in the garden.
