Our son started at Little Weavers in February this year and settled in so quickly. The nursery is a real home away from home feeling and our son absolutely loves going there. The nursery have really helped him build confidence and learn lots of new skills that we get to continue to build on at home. We love that there are lots of family days to attend and that we get lots of updates on the app of our sons day, including lots of pictures of what he gets up to. We have to give a special thank you to Kayla, Kayla was our sons key worker from his first day up until recently, Kayla immediately built a lovely bond with our son and he absolutely adores her. Kayla really helped us feel reassured and less anxious that he was in the best possible hands when not with us and we are very greatful for that. Thank you to all of the team though, you are all amazing and we can’t wait to watch him continue his nursery and pre-school journey with you! ⭐️
Read on GoogleLittle weavers is a fantastic nursery! A real home from home setting with staff that truly care and go above and beyond for the children. All the staff are knowledgeable, enthusiastic and welcoming. The activities they do with the children are so creative and also educational, helping my son to thrive and learn through play. My son loves the outdoor area especially, this area is a fantastic part of the nursery. I am kept up to date with his day to day activities and any questions I have are always answered in a timely manner. The management of the nursery are exceptional and have made the transition from maternity leave to my son starting nursery seamless. This took any worry and stress away from this time. I could not recommend this nursery highly enough.
Read on GoogleOur daughter joined Little Weavers in September 2024 when she was 10 months old. We have been really happy with our nursery choice and our daughter’s development over the last year. Little Weavers is a wonderful nursery and really does have a home away from home feel. We are kept up to date each day through the Famly app which we really appreciate as well as a brief at the end of each day when we collect her. We are also able to message staff via the app which is really helpful. All the staff are lovely but a few special mentions. Kayla was brilliant at helping my daughter settle as a baby and keeping me updated as I returned to work. Natalie and Estelle are always approachable and go above and beyond. Finally, an extra special mention to Emily and Alannah in First Steps who are both fantastic. My daughter has built a lovely bond with them both and I know she will miss them when she moves up to Toddlers soon. I would highly recommend this nursery!
Read on GoogleBoth our daughters have loved their time at Little Weavers. The staff have been so supportive and cared so well for our girls. Kayla has looked after both of them as babies which has been really special. Estelle, Natalie, Lucy and Emily have all done such a fabulous job and we adore them all. In the last few months my littlest has really bonded with the lovely Leanne. Our girls have both gone into nursery happy and smiling and greeted with a big hug each morning. We’re very grateful. Highly recommend
Read on GoogleA Wonderful Nursery with a True Family Feel We couldn’t be happier with our experience at this nursery. From the very first day, it’s had such a warm and welcoming atmosphere—it really does feel like a home away from home for our little girl. The staff are absolutely lovely: approachable, caring and clearly passionate about what they do. There’s always a great range of activities planned to support the children’s development, and we’re regularly kept updated on how our daughter is doing, which we really appreciate. Since she started in January, we’ve seen her confidence and skills grow so much—it’s amazing to see how far she’s come in such a short time. One of the things we love most is how inclusive and family-oriented the nursery is. There have been so many lovely opportunities for parents to get involved, like the recent ‘sports stay and play’ session. We love that it allows us to be part of our child’s learning journey. Overall, this nursery goes above and beyond to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment. It’s been the perfect choice for our daughter. Thank you ladies!
