    My daughter loves her nursery. the staff are truly wonderful! It is an environment where she can flourish in her own little ‘world’. The children are surrounded by excellent carers who nurture, guide and teach them through this vital early stage of their little lives. I want to take this opportunity to thank all the brilliant staff, you all do an awesome job! the Ofsted says it all!

    We have had a fantastic experience at Small World Kindergarten. It is a lovely environment where my daughter has flourished and gained confidence in all areas. This has been down to the wonderful staff who are very caring, dedicated and skilled.
    The team communicate really well so that any information is shared appropriately and enables a great working relationship with parents.
    My daughter starts school in September and her time at Small World has prepared her really well emotionally, socially, practically and academically.
    Thank you all!

    Our daughter found it difficult to settle at nursery when she initially started. We had a lot of tears and reluctance to attend. Throughout this time, the staff at Smallworld Kindergarten were very supportive, helping us with strategies and helping us to manage this difficult time.

    It is such a pleasure to see that after such a rocky start, our daughter absolutely loves going to nursery and is bubbling with all of the things she is learning. We are extremely pleased with the provision and would recommend it highly.

    Small World is quite simply exceptional. It is everything you would ever want for your children from a daycare setting.
    As soon as you walk through the door, your heart lifts seeing the happy children and friendly staff. Not only are they happy but they are well looked after, well educated and full of fun.
    To hear my daughter chatting excitedly about her day and the staff is so lovely to hear. For all the times you can’t be with your children, this is exactly where you would want them to be.

    Small World Kindergarten and Montessori is a wonderful learning environment with happy caring staff.
    It encourages all the best aspects of being a child, inquisitiveness, creativity and overall fun!

    Small World have been fantastic for our child, they are always very welcoming and attentive. They tailor activities during the day for his ‘likes’. At the end of the day, there is handover and feedback. He enjoys all the activities and loves the bunnies and all the other insects that come in over the year. The teaching style suits our child perfectly, he loves practical learning and is already able to read which is a credit to the nursery. We have been so pleased with Small World and all the staff would and do thoroughly recommend them.

    Everyone at Small World is so invested in the running of the nursery and making sure the children are cared for. I am so impressed with the commitment and understanding they have of encouraging independent play, confidence and individual learning. My daughter loves her nursery!

    My son loves attending Small World. There is a lot of opportunity for playing and being active as well as learning. I have really noticed how independent he is becoming, tidying up his toys and getting dressed by himself and taking pride in being able to do things himself which I think he is learning from the nursery. My older daughter also attended Small World and I’ve been really happy with the care provided.

    My daughter joined Small World in Jan 2019 and I couldn’t be happier. The transition was seamless and she is learning and developing so much. The staff have been lovely and always understanding. The ratios are comfortable and I feel my daughter also gets some one-to-one time with the staff on activities. This nursery, I feel, also gives a nice balance in getting the children ready for their school transition. I would 100% recommend this nursery, I have no negative points at all!

    We had very informative parents evening our children’s key workers have got to know our children so well and totally understand their needs, along with all the other members of staff. They all genuinely have the children’s best interests at heart.

    Our daughter attended Small World for two years and loved every minute of her time there.
    It is a happy, friendly environment and we cannot fault the staff’s dedication and care to the children.
    Our daughter thrived during her time there, she gained confidence and valuable reading and writing skills that have made her transition into school much easier.
    The facilities and activities are fantastic and the daily communication with us from the staff has been exceptional. The manager and her dedicated team have created a wonderful environment for children to learn in which is why we would highly recommend Small World to any parent considering putting their child into daycare.

    Choosing a nursery for our children was not an easy task. I was worried about them being away from me and wanted to find somewhere that ticked every single one of my boxes. After viewing several and nearly losing heart, we walked into Small Worlds. We knew from the moment we were greeted by the owner and spent our first few minutes there, this was the nursery for us. The team of staff has created a haven for the children attending. The children have so much fun, running, playing, making friends and of course learning. I feel totally at ease and have done from day one. We are always kept incredibly well informed about everything. The staff are always on hand when you need a quick chat, and the owner has always been incredibly accommodating around days/hours needed for the children. I can without hesitation highly recommend Small Worlds. It has been the perfect start for my children, who I know will start school confident, happy and well equipped.

    My children have been attending this nursery for 3-years now. It is a small setting, and this is really its strength, all the staff know every child, and it really gives the nursery a family feel.
    The last year has been difficult circumstances for childcare settings, but the measures put in place last summer on reopening were extremely thorough to ensure the safety of all children and staff. The purchase of equipment to sterilise the nursery daily is an example of the extra care taken to make the environment a safe one.
    Although little was provided in the way of home learning during the first lockdown, this month, the nursery has issued packs for the children who are at home. This was greatly appreciated.
    Finally, my eldest started school in September – the preparation Small World do to ensure the children are school ready is exemplary – my child has breezed through the school transition, and I have no doubt this is partly due to the brilliant work at Small World.

    I believe Small World Kindergarten did a fantastic job with my daughter; she loved it there. I would recommend it to other parents looking for a nursery for their children.

    Both my children attended Smallworld; my last is finishing now. Both have been very happy in the environment, and have flourished above and beyond what I expected and are been very well prepared for school. They have definitely both been treated as individuals, and the lovely nursery staff have given them tailored support to suit their development needs. It’s a very happy place where you are greeted with smiles by both the staff and the happy children. Would definitely recommend this nursery.

    I have nothing but positive feedback, in every aspect of my daughters care that Small World Kindergarten provides. She loves her nursery days, her friends, her teachers and all activities especially forest school on a Friday. My daughter is a fairly fussy eater, they have encouraged new foods. These foods are extremely varied and of top quality. Fabulous Kindergarten.

    Small World Kindergarten is fantastic – my son absolutely loves going and has thrived in the two years that he’s been there. I’m so sad that he will be leaving to go to school soon, but have no worries about the transition, as I know that he’s learnt so much at Small World, and they have done a huge amount to encourage his confidence and independence. The staff are all lovely and develop really strong bonds with the children – my son is so excited to arrive there that they have to prompt him to say goodbye to me! He particularly loves some of the extra activities they do, such as dancing, yoga and forest school, and the Montessori way of learning seems to really help them do develop their own individual skills and personalities. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Small World to other parents; it’s a really caring and nurturing place. I am very much hoping to send my baby girl there too when she is old enough!

    We’ve loved attending Small World. The facilities are fantastic, and the staff are all wonderful. My son attended for 2-years, and I’m quite sad that he has to leave to go to school, though I know he has been well prepared. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Small World to anybody.

    Small World is a fantastic nursery. Our son has been very happy there for the last year. We lovely all the amazing activities that take place. The staff are all great and work very hard. We are sad that it is time for our son to leave and start school as we have always felt he was safe and happy here. We would definitely pick Small World Kindergarten again and regularly recommend it to our friends and family. Keep up the amazing work.
