We are so thrilled that we moved our son to Little Peeps. He is thriving there. The staff genuinely care about the children and the handover at the end of the day is so thorough, it’s obvious he’s had great care. They do loads of messy play and have new activities all the time, targeted towards aiding the individual child’s development. Thank you Stacey and your team. We are so happy to be a part of your nursery.

I cannot recommend Little Peeps highly enough. Our little one had an upsetting start to his nursey experience and so we made the difficult decision to uproot him and start again with Stacey and her team at Little Peeps. From our perspective as parents we feel confident that our little boy is in a safe and caring environment with every team member having a genuine interest in his welfare and happiness. The little guy now comes home so happy and content in himself, often covered in some craft material or another meaning he's has another fun-filled day. It's a big decision deciding who to leave your baby with when you return to work, particularly at this unusual time and I only wish we'd found Little Peeps sooner
