My little girl (just turned 1) has been going here for a few months now and absolutely loves it. Goes in happy. Comes out happy. There is always a different activity happening and the staff go above and beyond with this. I love that all the staff already know my little girls name. They will have a chat about how her day has been. You’re kept updated through the app all day so can see meals / nappy changes / sleep etc. They’ve just done the outdoor area up and it looks lovely. The staff are really nice and really do go above and beyond for the kids. I’m so so so happy I chose this nursery!!!

A lovely nursery with really friendly staff, lots of updates through the date and brilliant communication. They’ve been really helpful when necessary and are quick to respond to any queries. My little boy has settled in so well, he goes in with a smile every morning and leaves with one too! I couldn’t be happier with the care he is receiving and I feel very secure that he is well cared for. Wonderful so far, thank you!

My 4 year old has attended little treasures since he was 15 months old and my 2 year old also now attends. Little treasures is a wonderful and attentive setting that have always gone above and beyond for my children. From the beginning both my children have been paired with the key worker that suits them and their needs best. As my eldest son started to present some additional needs, all the staff went to great lengths to accommodate him, support him and us as a family and guide us through the process with ease and providing all the support he needs. We have a great relationship with the staff at the nursery and I am so thankful to have found this setting. My children run into every session excited and happy to see the lovely ladies that make their time at nursery so enjoyable. It’s so important for a parent to feel happy and satisfied when dropping your children off to be cared for and we certainly are with little treasures. I will be so sad when my eldest goes to school and I wish all the ladies could go with him! Thank you all

My children attend Little Treasures and it honestly is the best nursery in the area. The staff are great and have offered a great deal of support to my family and really have gone above and beyond to care for the children. We were told by others how good the nursery is when we first sent our eldest and they were not wrong. I’ve got nothing but positive things to say about this place and all of its staff.
