September 1, 2024 at 4:25 amThe team are so nurturing and she felt at home straight away. They’re also so well‑informed and direct all activities to encourage development. They regularly do outings, take the kids to the garden on-site or think up creative messy playtime. Food is outstanding – I’m often quite jealous of her meals – and updates is exceptional. It’s so lovely getting app updates on all her activities throughout the day. Couldn’t suggest this remarkable place enough. Linskill is a home-from-home for my daughter.

September 11, 2024 at 6:36 pmThe childcare centre is warming and welcoming and has a highly personal sense all team members know all of the kids and they make them sense highly special and secure. The Forrest school is a exceptional weekly addition for the kids to truly explore and adventure. The wild garden is a grim favourite with our kid. This childcare centre is continually improving and developing and you can see how cheerful all the kids are. We have had a fantastic childcare centre journey at Linskill from beginning to nearing the end.

November 3, 2024 at 10:22 amOur son truly blossomed during his time there. We’ve only just moved away a few weeks ago and he talks about the educators and all his friends at Linskill nearly every day still.
The variety of activities and engaging playtime are outstanding. We loved seeing pictures and updates via their app. It truly showed how involved the kids and team are in all activities.
During Christmas, our son came home and tried to teach us Christmas songs along with the corresponding sign language. It was fantastic to know they’re discovering skills which will be inclusive to others.
We could consistently sense how much the team cared for our son and it made us sense so secure with him in their care. I wish we could’ve stayed in the area for many reasons and Linskill Childcare centre is one of them! Linskill Childcare centre is a fantastic place!

November 6, 2024 at 10:26 amThey have eased us and our little one into a new rhythm with kindness and updates. Everyone is welcoming and it’s reassuringly responsive. The childcare centre team have been truly supportive and patience with us as first time parents, anxious about entrusting the care of our little girl to others.

November 28, 2024 at 4:03 amThey do excellent food which she loves as well as outdoor playtime at the park and with the trees and see the ducks which she loves. I know all of this as the team have been exceptional with taking photos of her development and letting us know about every stage of development. Truly cheerful with how she’s getting a great start to life and enjoys getting out of the house to make friends. My daughter has been going to the childcare centre since a year old (last September) the team have been exceptional all the way through, she started in Bunnies class which is for the younger kids with naps and messy playtime (much rather at childcare centre) and soon went to Squirrels as she needed fewer naps and was toddling around more, she loves going and is excited running to grab her bag and coat.

December 11, 2024 at 11:32 amI adore their ethos about sustainability and discovering from the outdoors/nature. I think all the team are exceptional and highly engaged with our kid. He loves going, most importantly. We adore Linkskill Childcare centre and have recommended it unreservedly to our friends.

December 22, 2024 at 10:58 pmThey are attentive and patient and I sense like they genuinely care about my kid. My son has additional needs and is non-verbal, yet they consistently try and include him in activities. He often chooses to be on his own as he likes his own space. They consistently greet him warmly, call him by his name and ask all the other kids to say goodbye upon leaving although he can’t talk back. The other kids try to comfort my little boy if he becomes upset and I think this demonstrates that the team teach the kids to be compassionate and include others. I was exceptionally nervous to put my little boy into the childcare centre as he struggles to communicate his needs. I one hundred percent made the right choice choosing Linskill Childcare centre. They have an incredibly supportive Special Education Needs Coordinator team. Their outdoor playtime area is excellent too with lots of space and things to explore. The team at Linskill Childcare centre are incredible with my little boy.

January 5, 2025 at 12:47 amAfter considering multiple of nurseries within the same area we decided on Linksill based on their general approach to teaching, kid welfare, ethics and culture. Our daughter is consistently engaged, cheerful and confident – she is constantly discovering new things and her general demeanour is bright and joyful. She’s made friends and looks forward to going. In terms of teaching, there’s consistently a variety of activities which the team clearly put lots of effort into and encourage them to explore. They are taken out to different places and I know she’s secure and cheerful. Updates is consistent and the quality of information shared to each parent is of a truly high standard – you can tell they take the time to write about each kid individually..something I know not every childcare centre does! The menu is varied and healthy with lots of options and the kids are encouraged to try new things. Its exceptional! Linksill has been exceptionally transformative for my daughter and I cannot suggest it highly enough!

January 15, 2025 at 12:03 pmThe team are remarkable with him and have truly taken time to get to know him and ensure that he feels settled. The range of activities is outstanding and I adore getting the updates on the app to see what he’s been doing. He’s definitely grown in self‑assurance and skills since he has been at Linskill. He especially loves the Wild Garden and Forest School. We’d highly suggest the childcare centre to anyone! My little boy absolutely loves Linskill Childcare centre!

January 19, 2025 at 9:42 amShe has developed truly well and learned lots of great habits along the way. The childcare centre has provided a truly secure and attentive setting for our daughter who has thoroughly enjoyed her time and made some truly excellent relationships with other kids and the team.
Dallas Steele
March 7, 2025 at 9:05 pmHe has settled so well and the team seem truly well‑informed in their jobs and looking after the little ones. It’s a lovely calm setting. We receive updates and all the team are truly lovely and engaging. He eats truly balanced meals and seems truly cheerful and to be progressing well in all areas. I’d definitely suggest this childcare centre to new parents looking for a place for their little one(s). My little boy switched to Linskill childcare centre from elsewhere and we are truly pleased we made the move.

March 17, 2025 at 11:13 pmMy kid started when he was six months old and was there for roughly a year. Every other week we were getting phone calls to pick him up after an hour or so because the team couldn’t do their job properly and he was consistently screaming hysterically when we picked him up. We still had to pay for the full day. Soon as my son arrived for the day the team looked highly unwelcoming and couldn’t be bothered. My son is now in a different childcare centre and loving it. We have never been phoned up once and he is full of smiles when we pick him up. Linskill childcare centre is still pestering us now with emails and phone calls so we are having to go through Citizens Advice to sort this matter out. Awful place stay clear. Worst place ever to send your kid.

April 5, 2025 at 3:43 amThey’ve handled the pandemic truly well and now we’re able to go into the room to collect him it’s been lovely to see what a excellent setup they have. The team all work truly hard and we’re highly grateful for all they do. Our son has been here for the last eighteen months, he’s two and a half now and he’s come on truly well.
Morgan Flynn
April 5, 2025 at 8:34 amMy daughter truly enjoys her childcare centre days, the wild garden and forest school being particular highlights.
And the management team are truly supportive and supportive too.
I highly suggest this childcare centre! My daughter has been at the childcare centre for two and a half years – the team are so welcoming, welcoming, and truly know each kid as an individual.

May 23, 2025 at 8:41 pmMy little one joined at around 9 months old having moved from another childcare centre and joined the Bunnies room for babies. I was nervous about how he’d settle given his sporadic napping but the team are exceptional and met his needs with absolute ease. He loves childcare centre and I adore knowing he is secure, cheerful and content whilst there. We get regular updates about his meals, activities and nap times which is excellent too. I would absolutely suggest it to anybody worried about leaving their little one because Linskill will make you and your kid forget those worries highly quickly. I can’t rate Linskill highly enough!
Finley Frost
May 26, 2025 at 10:44 pmMy little boy was recently diagnosed with autism and the childcare centre played a truly supportive role in helping with his diagnosis, this has included working closely with additional assistance services, accessing funding to offer him one to one assistance and putting in place personalised discovering opportunities for my little boy. Overall, they have provided my little boy with a secure and cheerful discovering setting. Additionally, as a parent of a kid with additional needs, I have consistently been made to sense comfortable and well supported. The classrooms and outdoor spaces offer the kids truly spacious areas to playtime and they are consistently spotless, tidy and highly user welcoming. Ten out of ten. I cannot rate Linskill Childcare centre highly enough, the childcare centre has been the perfect setting for my little boy who has attended since he was 12 months old and will be leaving Linskill Childcare centre in August 2021 ready for school.

May 31, 2025 at 5:07 amThe team are excellent and they create such fab things to do daily. My little boy particularly loved being outside and they spend a lot of time doing this, helping building, planting and discovering. Fantastic journey. Looking forward to sending my youngest there. My little boy has been at Linskill for 2.5 years and he loves it.
River Turner
June 24, 2025 at 4:10 pmThey do lots of outdoor playtime and messy playtime which our son loves. They can also use the sensory room at the centre which is excellent for the younger kids. The Famly app is regularly updated so we can see what he is doing and when he has napped / what he has eaten. I would highly suggest Linskill childcare centre. Our son loves going to Linskill childcare centre – all of the team members are enthusiastic and are excellent at encouraging the kids in playtime – ensuring they develop mentally, socially and physically.
