About this day nursery
Little Robins Day Nursery, part of a privately owned group of childcare settings, offers exceptional care for children aged 0 to 5 years. They focus on providing a nurturing and stimulating environment where children feel secure and confident to develop their full potential.
The nursery follows the latest Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, implementing an "in the moment planning" approach to learning, which prioritises hands-on observation and support for children's interests over extensive paperwork. This approach ensures that staff spend more quality time interacting with and understanding each child.
Little Robins provides dedicated rooms for different age groups: a Baby Room with a 1:3 staff-to-child ratio, a Toddler Room with a 1:4 ratio, and a Pre-school Room with a 1:8 ratio. The pre-school curriculum combines focused adult-led sessions with opportunities for children to practice literacy and numeracy and engage in self-chosen activities.
The nursery also facilitates shared learning journeys, allowing parents to stay connected with their child's progress. They emphasise a partnership with parents and offer various funding options, including government-backed schemes.

This nursery has been incredible for my son. The staff are kind, patient, and truly dedicated to helping each child thrive. They create such a warm and nurturing environment, and the difference we’ve seen in his learning and development has been huge. He’s gained confidence, made friends, and learned so many new skills. The team are always professional and organised, with excellent communication and care. They’re very on top of everything, which gives us complete trust in them. Choosing this nursery was one of the best decisions we made. I can’t thank them enough and would highly recommend to any family.

We couldn’t be happier with this nursery. Both of my children have attended, and one still does, and the kindness, care, and support shown by the staff have been outstanding. They are incredibly nurturing, patient, and always willing to help—not just the children, but parents too. My children have loved going each day, which says everything. They’ve thrived here, growing in confidence, skills, and happiness. It’s clear the children are genuinely cared for and encouraged to be their best. We’re so grateful for the positive impact this nursery has had on our family and would highly recommend it.

My son moved to the nursery under exceptional circumstances with his previous one, the staff were incredibly understanding about the situation and my anxieties and helped with the transition. Since that point, my son has developed a lovely bond with the team, and his development is very positive. The rooms are warm, educational and well staffed. The communication via the app is all done well. Would recommend to anyone considering.

Our daughter has attended since she was 8 months old, progressing through baby room, nursery and now preschool. The setting is absolutely great for the kids and they’re taken care of by excellent staff. Couldn’t have chosen a better care provided than little robins!
