November 4, 2020 at 12:00 amBoth my children attended Little Apples Day Nursery from the age of 1 year old.
The staff there helped from the very beginning with me finding it hard to leave them and them leaving me. They made this transition as easy as possible for all of us, and I felt comfortable leaving them every time knowing they would be very well looked after and safe.
As the years went on and grow relationships with each member of staff and never had any issues.
The Little Apples team are brilliant and I would definitely recommend their services. My children went into school with great communication skills, table manners and a great advantage to education. I can not thank them enough for helping me raise my two children.

November 6, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son has been at Little Apples from the baby room, over a year later we’re still very happy there. The staff are all very friendly and he comes home telling me all about the friends he has played with each day. He seems to get on really well with his key worker and has learnt so much in his time there, they’re always looking to help him progress. I really like the new app that is updated throughout the day to see how your child is doing. We have also really enjoyed some of the extra events they usually put on throughout the year – eg. Halloween and Christmas parties, plus the dress-up weeks and present donations for charity. It has been tough throughout lockdown but the nursery put on Zoom calls and classes throughout, it was a great help to me and helped my son remember his friends when he couldn’t see them in person.

November 11, 2020 at 12:00 amThe nursery is in a great location, good pricing, absolutely wonderful, friendly and kind staff, professional atmosphere, highly trained staff and management, superb communication, great daily updates (including images) via a specialised phone app. Great educational plans and games for children, suitable “class” numbers, varied activities. It is a fabulous nursery, and I would recommend it to everyone – we have had a wonderful experience in the last 10-months.

December 18, 2020 at 12:00 amGreat Nursery, my son loves going and am always kept up to date with his day, his activities and what he eats through the app. After coming home I can see he has had a lot of stimulation and will always come out with new words.

March 9, 2021 at 12:00 amAmazing staff, super friendly. Really love the thorough care that it provided for my son. His speech has improved immensely and he loves going into nursery. I always get a warm welcome from the staff members which always brightens up my day.

November 18, 2021 at 12:00 amI love this nursery for my 14 month old daughter. She seems to have developed a great bond with the staff and has a great time at nursery. I really like and trust the staff and feel they take a genuine interest in my little one. The premise is nice, clean and lots of fun activities. I also feel like it’s well run, I get plenty of communication. The only down side for me is the garden is quite small – not an issue for my baby daughter but perhaps less great for pre schoolers who need to run around. Also I really hope we don’t have to keep queuing outside for pick up as can end up waiting quite a long time!

November 18, 2021 at 12:00 amOur daughter joined Little Apples in September and we are amazed at the difference it has made already! She is now more confident and sociable and this has been most noticeable in her interactions with family and friends (previously stifled by lockdown restrictions). Little Apples staff are polite and reliable, and have been extremely understanding with our daughter’s slow and nervous start to nursery.

November 18, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been at Little Apples for almost 2 years now and she absolutely loves it! She has learnt so much during her time there and has gained so much confidence. She goes in so excited and comes out smiling every day she is there. The staff are amazing, so caring and helpful. I highly recommend Little Apples!

November 22, 2021 at 12:00 amMy two year old started at Little Apples following us moving to the area in July. She had previously attended nursery so we were a bit anxious about her starting all over again. The team were fantastic at Little Apples in settling her in. She was very hesitant of all the new faces and the new environment, but after a few weeks the nursery was pretty much second nature to her. The staff are amazing here and they communicate so well to us parents. Through their app we can see a breakdown of what’s happened through the day. I love their focused approach to learning and I can tell what my daughter has been up to because she comes home telling us new exciting things which we know we haven’t taught her. She’s matured so much in four months and I know the nursery has something to do with it. The nursery itself is very clean and the staff are presentable. They also give a great handover at the end of the day!

November 22, 2021 at 12:00 amWell what can I say except Little Apples is fantastic. From the very first phone call to enquire for my son to a year on, we are so happy with everything. All the staff are always happy and so positive. We love the fact that there is a mixture of male and female staff. My son was an extremely clingy baby and I just needed a break, I was very nervous leaving him even though he was my 3rd child. They were absolutely great very reassuring from the word go and he has just thrived in confidence. He has Spanish classes and really enjoys the food. Even on a weekend he asks to go to nursery. They except nursery vouchers so inclusive for all. He has made lots of friends and I really feel they have set him up for starting school next September. The staff are always there to answer questions either on the phone or face to face. I wish I had found this nursery when I had my first child.

November 22, 2021 at 12:00 amLittle Apples is such a great nursery. My little boy started in August after we felt he needed to develop more and be around his peers. I was so nervous putting him in nursery and for the first few weeks he cried every time and after that well he hasn’t looked back. The nursery has been great for him and we have noticed such a change. The communication is fab and they offer advice and my little boy can’t wait to go every week!

November 22, 2021 at 12:00 amSo pleased with this amazing Nursery for my three children. The staff are all so caring and genuine. I feel they take a genuine interest in my children and always take the time to tell me how their day was and give me an insight to what they have been doing. They have their best interests at heart always!
The nursery staff feel likes one big family which makes me feel so reassured and happy leaving my little ones there. My eldest son has now left and the pre school prepared him so much for school, he had the best start to his journey on to reception as they taught him the basics such as how to hold a pencil correctly, taught him how to write his name, basic maths and even phonics. My children are very happy there and love going in. They have made lovely friends and most importantly I know they are in the best hands.

November 26, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son started Little Apples in January 2021 when he was 7 months old. I researched every possible nursery in the area (hadn’t found Little Apples at this point) and none of the nurseries that I looked at felt right. My neighbour had a child at another nursery which they weren’t happy with and moved them to Little Apples and they came highly recommended. I noticed it was Ofsted outstanding so booked to meet the Manager for a tour and it felt right (parents instinct). My son has been there for eleven months now and I like the app updates about what and when he eats, sleeps, and photo updates of the activities they carry out. We have even done a sports day over zoom this year and a parent’s evening. Special mention to the two members of staff who work in the baby room who have been great.

November 26, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son settled into Little Apples quickly largely down to the friendly and caring staff. As soon as he was walking he would run in each morning, without even looking back to wave goodbye. We are always greeted with a warm smile and at pick up we are told what he did that day and what his response was to that activity.
Throughout the day we can see what he is up to using the Blossoms app, where his general progress is recorded and well as developmental milestone tracking and praise.
My son is now two and half years old and when I collect him at the end of the day he chats away telling me what he did that day and who he played with (naming both staff and classmates).
There is a sense of community amongst the staff and parents.
We genuinely feel relaxed when our son is at Little Apples and therefore made the easy decision to enrol our youngest child there too.
We feel very lucky to have found such a great nursery which is aligned to our parenting values.

November 26, 2021 at 12:00 amLittle Apples is a wonderful nursery with a fantastic team. My daughter started at ten months and is now eighteen months and she has really blossomed in the nursery environment.
The team are all enthusiastic, caring, and have a genuine passion for the children.
The settling in sessions were brilliant and took into the factor of my daughter being a covid baby and therefore not as socialised as others. It went down really well.
My daughter is always happy to be dropped off at nursery and is comfortable with all team members including those from the older groups/classes.
The office team are also brilliant and prompt and efficient with requests etc. All staff have been friendly and lovely from the start.
The building and setting is great with really lovely facilities, clean and a comfortable friendly environment.
I’ve recommended Little Apples to several people since my daughter started.

November 26, 2021 at 12:00 amI’ve been lucky enough to send both my children to this nursery right from baby room all the way up to preschool. And I have only great things to say about them. And the proof is in the child I notice such a difference in the new things the children have learnt from one week to the next. The staff are all wonderful, friendly, professional and would do anything to accommodate us. They have an app so you can see what your child has done that day. And my two absolutely love the days that they go in to nursery. Highly recommend.

December 1, 2021 at 12:00 amI visited several nurseries in the area before choosing Little Apples. The staff were so engaged and I liked the class sizes/age ranges for each class. My daughter started going at 18 months. I was still quite anxious about leaving her (in any nursery), but the staff were so nurturing and caring, that not only did she settle quickly they also made me feel at peace about leaving her there. She is now 3.5 and has learned so much there. She absolutely loves going to nursery and always talks about the staff and how much she loves them. I have, on occasion, asked who her fav is. She always proceeds to reel off all the staff names 1 by 1, even those from previous years, as she cannot pick just one. Little Apples has helped me out loads too. When I was training and needed to rejig my hours, they were so helpful, accommodating, and flexible. Recommend 100%.

February 24, 2022 at 12:00 amOur son has been attending Little Apples since June 2020 during lockdown when he was eight and a half months old. He has has the most amazing time there and has bonded with the fantastic staff. He often talks about the staff on the way to nursery, excited to see them. All the staff make the effort to know him, even if they are not directly in his room. I have no doubt he has learnt so much in the last year and a half and is absolutely thriving and a lot is credit to the experience he’s had at little apples. The management themselves, have been brilliant with helping with short notice changes or extra days due to emergencies. As shift workers, we have found the flexibility to be a lifeline and we are so grateful

May 31, 2022 at 12:00 amWe first sent our daughter to Little Apples when she was one and a half. From the first settling in session, we felt welcome and comfortable sending her there. We now have our second daughter there and again couldn’t ask for more. The care, setting and all the staff are wonderful. I would recommend Little Apples to anyone.

July 12, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been going to Little Apples Day Nursery for 1 and a half years and I couldn’t rate it highly enough. The staff are extremely caring and tentative, my daughter always leaves smiling and happy at the end of the day. Couldn’t ask for anything else! Keep up the great work!
