October 17, 2024 at 4:17 amHe now goes in with a huge smile and consistently comes out cheerful. My son has been attending here since April 2023.
He wasn’t settling in very well but team helped and tried a few different strategies until we found one that worked for him.

October 23, 2024 at 10:45 amTwo out of three of my daughters attend and once my youngest is old enough she will also be part of the Little Jimmy’s family. The effort that is put in for events such as Mother’s Day afternoon tea, sports day, prom, and leavers graduation just to name a few has been incredible! I will miss taking my eldest to the childcare centre when she starts primary school in September but know they have given her the best start to her discovering journey. This is such a lovely childcare centre that consistently goes above and beyond for the kids.

November 1, 2024 at 4:55 pmWe are both really sad to be leaving this setting to move on to primary school. The team were consistently very attentive and welcoming. Anyone who gets my son’s key worker as a key worker will be very lucky. My son has had a very enjoyable two years at Little Jimmy’s.

November 8, 2024 at 10:17 pmEvery day he goes running in without hesitation! When you walk in the door everyone has the time to come greet you they make you sense very welcome and at the end of the day they tell you what they have been up to, excellent updates never had any problems! Excellent fundraising to constantly improve their sites for the kids! Remarkable childcare centre wish we didn’t have to leave! Every member of team are incredible! Couldn’t have asked for more for my boys! My 1st son went here and absolutely loved it, to this day still wants to go back, my 2nd son joined then transferred over to the new site in which they made him sense as comfortable as possible and he loved it!

November 19, 2024 at 9:06 amVery nice childcare centre team are approachable and quick to deal with issues or concerns
Keeps me updated with updates when my kid is at the setting.
Has a handy car park which is mostly available for pick up and drop-offs.

November 20, 2024 at 8:53 amCertainly suggest to anyone looking for somewhere to place their kid. Community-minded and family-focused. Not coming at you with a business mindset like a lot of commercial nurseries.
Whilst they very much take policies and procedures seriously, there is a laidback vibe here that tells you as the parent that all is in hand.
Lots of themed activities and discovering as well as celebration events. Including cultural events as well as British heritage events such as remembrance days and jubilees/coronations.
The summer and Christmas fetes are consistently well-supported and popular, which speaks volumes for how well-connected the parents are.
During the lockdown my son enjoyed the online interaction each week with the stories and songs. Very nice of them to keep in touch and not just close the doors waiting for the Covid-storm to pass.
I have recommended to many families in the area. What an incredible childcare centre.

November 25, 2024 at 3:43 amMy little boy was late into childcare centre so was as expected a little unsettled at first but the team as a team helped to make him sense comfortable and he can’t wait to get in now. His self‑assurance has grown so much. Best childcare centre I know by far. Thank you everyone there for everything over the past year. Keep up the incredible work. Little Jimmy’s is absolutely fantastic, the site and team are just incredible.

December 22, 2024 at 1:04 pmThey are consistently expert, but still inviting and nurturing. They truly care about the kids and assistance their needs.
Both of my kids started shortly after turning two, due to my husband and I working.
They were so supportive of our kids and were there for important milestones such as toilet training.
Both of our kids thrived whilst in their care. They really do sense like part of the family.
All of the team are truly invested in the kids. They have lots of resources, exciting activities set up every session and two lovely outdoor areas.
I honestly cannot give them enough praise for all of their assistance. I am truly sad that my last baby is leaving them, however, they have helped so much with his transition into infant school.
My husband and I will be forever grateful to them all. My daughter attended Little Jimmy’s for almost three years and my son is about to leave them to attend school.
All of the team are incredible!

January 26, 2025 at 12:08 amThe team really do go above and beyond for every kid who attends the preschool. I sense that the team make the setting such a welcoming, comfortable place. My son is consistently cheerful and at ease, with all the team making it the best place for him to learn, grow, make new friends, and they make each day of his discovering enjoyable and exciting, but consistently keeping him entertained and focused on the activities they set up for him and the other kids! As a parent when you have work to get to it’s so nice to know your kid is cheerful at his childcare centre and you can leave to start your day knowing your kid is secure, in the best care and company! Forever grateful for our Little Jimmy’s family. Little Jimmy’s Pre-school is the best preschool in my eyes, my little boy absolutely loves going to his sessions.

February 3, 2025 at 9:43 amThe educators and caregivers are not only highly qualified but also genuinely passionate about their work. They effortlessly connected with the kids, making them sense secure and cherished.
Safety is consistently a priority, and they did not disappoint in this regard. The premises were secured, and the team maintained a strict supervision protocol. It was evident that the kids’s well-being was paramount, giving parents peace of mind.
As a parent, overall my journey is overwhelmingly positive. If you’re seeking a preschool that prioritizes your kid’s growth and happiness, I highly suggest Little Jimmy’s. It’s a place where little ones can flourish and begin their educational journey with joy and self‑assurance. Little Jimmy’s Pre-School has truly created a nurturing setting for young minds to flourish.
The first thing that caught my attention was the welcoming and approachable team.

March 13, 2025 at 2:11 amThe team are fabulous, they put them all into everything they do to make it enjoyable for the kids and the events they plan and hold are nothing short of incredible, they make every single kid sense special and valued. My son thoroughly enjoyed his time at Little Jimmy’s and my daughter is so looking forward to going back after the summer holidays. Keep doing what you’re doing manager and team, your fantastic and the kids adore you all! I would highly suggest Little Jimmy’s, my son has just left to start primary school and my daughter will be going back to the childcare centre in September to continue her discovering journey here.

March 30, 2025 at 5:34 amShe has severe eczema and food allergies and the team have gone above and beyond to make sure she is Never left out and went through a thorough health plan with us too.
She’s learnt so much, zipping up her own coat, writing and drawing words and pictures that we’ve been so impressed by. We’ve recommended this childcare centre to so many people and we know how much a review can encourage people to have a look around, as this is how we found the childcare centre in the first place. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better first year of preschool. We will forever be grateful for how included my daughter has been at Little Jimmy’s.
Elliot Taylor
April 14, 2025 at 3:49 amWe really couldn’t have found a better setting and team to look after our kids. They consistently have new things to do and occupy them, new discovering every day, highly suggest. Very cheerful with this childcare centre, my two kids adore it here.

April 20, 2025 at 10:27 amThe team and management are welcoming and approachable and if help is needed then they are there. I’ve never had a negative journey with the setting or team. Both of my daughters enjoyed it. I have had two kids within the Little Jimmy’s setting, one graduating in 2021 and one in 2023, throughout their time at the setting they enjoyed it and built incredible bonds with team and other pupils alongside benefitting from a positive education which helped massively with their social skills.

May 10, 2025 at 4:37 amMy son attends Little Jimmy’s and absolutely loves it there, comes home very cheerful and tells me all the lovely things he has been getting up to.
I find all the team really easy to talk to and very supportive.

May 22, 2025 at 7:27 amThe team are incredible he’s consistently cheerful when he goes in and when he comes out. The manager and administrator and the team are doing a fantastic job at that childcare centre. So cheerful son equals one cheerful mummy. My son who is 2 years old loves this childcare centre and so do I, he’s come a long way since being there he loves going in every day to see his friends and playtime.
Finley Hobbs
May 30, 2025 at 9:24 amThe Little Jimmy’s team have consistently been welcoming, compassionate, and supportive.
The kids have consistently been nurtured and cared for fully within the setting hence why all my kids have now attended the site.
Having two of the kids attend with special educational needs, they have been fully supported and their needs met, right up into primary school.
Thank you Little Jimmy’s for everything. I am a mother of four kids who have attended the childcare centre between 2011 and the present day.

June 18, 2025 at 2:19 pmMy boy been going to this childcare centre since end of last year and this childcare centre has been incredible, my son has autism and wasn’t getting on so well but since going to this childcare centre he’s getting on just fine discovering new things every day, I am shocked with what he has learned and can’t thank this childcare centre enough to pull him through and assistance not just him but me with his autism, a big shout out to all the incredible team at Little Jimmy’s for making my little boy into such a young man, thank you all we will miss you when he leaves on Friday!
Robin Mayer
June 25, 2025 at 6:41 pmThe team go above and beyond, they are all so lovely. Their outdoor area is incredible as well as the indoor area. Our boy loves going to childcare centre he consistently says he’s had the best time. He has flourished so much thanks to all the team. We Can’t wait for his little brother to go to this preschool also.
As parents finding a childcare centre is hard but when we found Little Jimmy’s we were blown away by how incredible it is. There is nothing more you want as parents than to sense comfortable and secure leaving your kid at a childcare centre where you know they are going to be secure and well looked after.
We adore everything about Little Jimmy’s preschool they are the best. Absolutely incredible preschool.
