Our daughter started here over 6 months ago and we couldn't be happier with the baby room staff, management and everything really. Everyone is really approachable and helpful, they've been flexible with us too when needed. Most importantly we love how our little girl has come along and she's so happy at this nursery! They do lovely activities, it's clean, light, and the whole vibe is just really warm and nice and welcoming. Looking forward to our next baby starting next year❤️ Thanks Little Seedlings you guys do a wonderful job and run a super duper little nursery Xx

My daughter has been attending Little Seedlings for the past few months and I honestly could not fault the nursery. From the moment we visited the nursery for a show around, I knew it was the right place for us. There's a warm, welcoming and homely atmosphere as soon as you enter the nursery. The management and staff are so warm, friendly and professional and are always so helpful. They genuinely care about each child. The nursery is not particularly close to our house, but we happily travel here because we love it so much. My daughter settled straight away here, thanks to the lovely staff and I feel comfortable and confident leaving her here. We can't thank the management and staff enough for everything they do and always going above and beyond. All of the activities are presented to the children in fun, exciting ways, my daughter loves attending and telling me about her day! Parents are provided with regular photos, videos, observations and updates. We honestly wouldn't go anywhere else.

I can't praise this nursery enough! My little boy has started here the past few months and all the staff here are so experienced and friendly. They have really put my mind at ease. JAN and Zara are fantastic making sure you have all the information you need they update you on everything and really care about the children's education and wellbeing, they really put alot into the facilities and creative play for the children. Nia who is in the baby room communicates with me all the time on how my little boy is doing and I get updates with pictures and videos on what he's been up to through tapestry app which I am so happy to see! I also get a daily log so I can see how much he's drank and what he's ate throughout the day. The other girls in the baby room are brilliant too my little boys face lights up when he goes there no matter who greets us you can tell he loves all the staff and can't wait for his days at nursery because they keep the children so entertained which has been hard for me to do through lockdown especially being a ftm but I am so happy my little boy enjoys his nursery so much. Thanks to all the staff for your hard work you are all amazing 👏
