My son has been attending for last 18 months and he loves it there. The nursery has a massive selection of activities and toys for the children, as well as a garden which my son loves to explore. The staff and management are fantastic with the children, greeting us every morning and afternoon with a friendly smile and a morning chat. They are also brilliant at communicating with myself regarding nursery news, changes and general alerts. They keep me updated with what he is doing on a daily basis and record his development, milestones and takes lovely photos of him whilst he is playing. I am very happy with my decision to bring my son to little steps and would recommend the nursery to anyone. Thank you to everyone there, you're all fantastic

My son has attended little steps from baby room at age 14months to now leaving preschool in a few weeks! He's came on leaps and bounds and his confidence has grew so much over the last few months! All staff go above and beyond to help us as a family! The nursery is clean and tidy. The options of food and snacks daily are very good. Managment very friendly and helpful and easy to talk to. Best nursery around 100%.

What a lovely nursery!!! Honestly it's been a big game changer for me and my husband. We have recently joined this nursery and it's absolutely fantastic. My 6 months year old baby girl goes to the baby room and my 18 month year old goes to the toddler room. And I must say the staff know what they are doing, they have gone above and beyond to help my children to settle in 10/10. They are very attentive to what you tell them and are always reassuring us about how our kids have been. They offer different snack options too if my 18 month year old baby doesn't want to eat as sometimes he can be a little fussy so they give him a bottle to be honest any where else they wouldn't care as much. The nursery manager is very understanding and no matter how many times you call to check in on the kids they aren't moody about it. I'm just really impressed my son is actually starting to act a little more independent and it's only his 3rd day. Both the staff in the baby room and the toddler room are nothing but a great asset to little steps nursery. I would recommend this nursery to others. Money well spent for brighter education. A big thank you to all the staff at little steps nursery. Regards Sahar & Shoaib
