Prior to coming to little owls my son (who has recently turned 2) went to a childminders where he was constantly poorly and always cried on arrival. I made the decision to move him over to a nursery for development reasons and he is thriving. Eating foods he usually wouldn’t touch, never cries on arrival and constantly seems happy. I am so pleased with this nursery. When he first started I mentioned my son’s health concerns and other concerns I had which were dealt with upmost empathy and support. This morning I spoke with my son’s key carer Amber about his speech  development and was reassured and sympathised with. Every nursery teacher handles drop offs and pick ups amazingly and answers all questions I have about his day, he really loves this nursery and in the few small months he’s been attending hasn’t been ill once (touch wood). I am always met with smiles and never judged by anyone about my concerns which makes such a huge difference in my confidence as a parent. I have seen a huge change in my son, he is striding through soft play centre’s instead of clinging by my side and more confident with other children and strangers. I cannot thank little owls enough for all their support.",

This nursery is amazing! Prior to coming to little owls my son (who has recently turned 2) went to a childminders where he was constantly poorly and always cried on arrival. I made the decision to move him over to a nursery for development reasons and he is thriving. Eating foods he usually wouldn’t touch, never cries on arrival and constantly seems happy. I am so pleased with this nursery. When he first started I mentioned my son’s health concerns and other concerns I had which were dealt with upmost empathy and support. This morning I spoke with my son’s key carer Amber about his speech development and was reassured and sympathised with. Every nursery teacher handles drop offs and pick ups amazingly and answers all questions I have about his day, he really loves this nursery and in the few small months he’s been attending hasn’t been ill once (touch wood). I am always met with smiles and never judged by anyone about my concerns which makes such a huge difference in my confidence as a parent. I have seen a huge change in my son, he is striding through soft play centre’s instead of clinging by my side and more confident with other children and strangers. I cannot thank little owls enough for all their support.

Our son loves going to Little Owls Day Nursery Scarning, he has been in Tawny Owls for 7 months and always has so much fun! He adores the staff that care for him so much. He has a fantastic relationship with not only his wonderful key person Beth but also Charlotte, Louisa and Susie! He is happy to go into nursery and likes to play with the other babies! They do so many lovely activities with them including craft, yoga, sensory play and baking! My little one loves to play outside in the amazing outdoor space what ever the weather! We always recommend the nursery to our friends and family because we know it is the best around! Thank you also to Emma, Ella, Justine and Jonny for all you do as well as a part of Stanley’s time at nursery.

We have used Little Owls for the last four years, more recently the Scarning setting has been looking after my babies, and I can’t recommend them enough, staff are more like family and both our children speak warmly of all staff. People often comment on how sociable both of them are and I attribute this to little owls, i leave my children happy and safe in the knowledge that they are cared for and are being provided with the building blocks to become successful when they join school. We love you little owls xx

Editing my review after a year, little owls are still worth the 5 stars and if I could add on another 5 they would deserve it! They are the best nursery in Dereham with the best staff, they always have a smile on there faces even through these tough times. My little girl loves going and constantly talks about going and what she’s learnt. They have taught her (and me) a lot!

My daughter has been attending Little Owls Scarning for over a year and a half, and we have never had any problems at all, we love it. She has learnt so much, and seems to be learning new things weekly. She has lots of fun, during the structured and fun activities, and is also learning so much more than I expected that she would be before school. The staff are all so approachable and friendly to us both, they make me feel as though nothing is too much bother and continually exceed my expectations. I strongly recommend this nursery for any age and am so glad my daughter has been able to grow here! Thank you Little Owls staff.
