Both our sons went to sneakers in studley and we really rated it. The staff are super friendly, the garden is big and both boys were happy at the end of the day. The daily reports were really useful. What's really good is that you can park directly outside, they let you in to pick your child up so there's no waiting or queuing and there's no hidden fees like so many places. You either pay for food or not. Much better than the other place we now use (we moved house). Highly rated, all staff are nice and friendly particularly Jess!

My little boy has been attending little sneakers in studley for almost a year and a half and will be starting school in September. It is a lovely nursery, the staff are very caring and look after the children so well. They are so friendly and provide good activities to help my son learn and develop well and have helped him grow in making friendships with the other children too. Management lead the team so well and is so professional. Thank you for everything everyone has done for my son we will miss you when he leaves this summer to go to school in September.

Very happy with Sneakers at Studley. The management goes above and beyond to keep high standards of care and to make sure that each individual's needs are met. Meals are very healthy and nutritious. Kids spend a lot of time outdoors and do all sorts of creative activities. The staff listens to parents' requests and tries to follow up on them as closely as possible and reasonably. Overall, we're very happy with the nursery. Thank you to staff and management team for your hard work and commitment.

Little Sneakers has been incredibly caring and welcoming for our little girl. Leaving your child with strangers for the first time is a terrifying prospect, and our little girl can be extremely cautious around new faces, but we have seen first hand how she has settled with multiple members of staff who have cared for her with love and patience. She has come on leaps and bounds with her communication since starting, and she is always smiling and waving to staff as we leave at pick up. She is generally found happy and exploring in the garden at pick up, or cuddled into one of the team, it’s always so lovely to see. I can’t thank the staff enough for their work so far, a truly lovely team who all get involved in my child’s care and who contact me as a courtesy if she’s not feeling 100%. It’s a tough job but I’ve seen nothing but kindness whenever I’ve been in the nursery, thank you all!

My little girl had an absolute blast at Little Sneakers. She was really supported in her learning journey, loved the staff so much she couldn't stop talking about them and I could see the staff genuinely cared for her. Thank you Little Sneakers!
