We couldn't be happier with our experience at Mini Moos. The environment is bright, clean, and full of engaging activities that keep our children happy and stimulated. The team have an amazing focus on the outdoors and nature-based learning. The fact that the children have regular access to a farm & forest school, spending so much time outside exploring is just incredible. It’s a refreshing and enriching experience that goes beyond what you typically expect from a nursery setting. The staff are warm, nurturing, and genuinely passionate about what they do. It feels like a family environment where every child is genuinely known. You can tell they really take the time to understand our children and support them in a way that suits their personality. We’re so grateful to the Mini Moos team, and can’t recommend it highly enough for any parent.

Our little boy started attending Mini Moos when he was 18 months old and had never attended a nursery setting before this. Naturally, it took a bit of time to get him to settle but the staff at Mini Moos worked tirelessly to make the settling process as easy as possible, keeping us informed with successes and next steps along the way. It didn’t take him long to settle and he has truly flourished at Mini Moos ever since, he’s now 3 years old and sees Mini Moos as a home away from home. The staff are magic and go above and beyond for the children in all that they do. They know each child as an individual and really take the time to learn their interests, incorporating these into provision when they can. The setting itself is stunning and access to the farm and play areas creates a unique experience for the children. My son absolutely adores spending time outside and has developed a love for animals, particularly enjoying visiting the cows and feeding the lambs. I couldn’t recommend Mini Moos enough and feel so lucky that my son gets to attend such an outstanding setting.

Our daughter started in January. I was very reluctant to start her in a nursery but from the very first look around with Bianca, I knew it was the place for her. She loves the outdoors and I knew she would thrive here having the opportunities they do. They are so lucky to have Forest School, all the outdoors space and access to the Churchfields amenities. Our daughter has settled so well. She loves going and has built some brilliant relationships with the staff. We feel she is well looked after and the staff are so caring and supportive. We cannot thank them enough for welcoming her and creating an environment she loves to go to.

Our little boy started at mini moos when he was 2. He did struggle to settle initially but the team were so supportive and helpful, suggesting different tactics to help him feel more settled. He is now 3 and absolutely loves his days at nursery. I’m so proud of how he has grown in confidence and can see he is thriving there, and that is down to the care and support he is given. I love that the children get to spend lots of time outdoors and are so encouraged in their interests and learning

It was really important for us to find the perfect setting for our son, and Mini Moos really offers the best care for the kids. They offer amazing extras, and our toddler loves forest school. The staff is amazing and everyone is extremely supportive and lovely. We couldnt be any happier with them, 100% recommend them.
