September 15, 2024 at 12:23 pmThey truly care about the kids and go above and beyond to make sure your kid is cheerful.
My little girl started in preschool last year and she had never left me before this so it was a challenging time for her to adjust but she soon came around thanks to the team in the room and after a couple of weeks no more tears and has run to childcare centre ever since. She has a real bond with the team in the room and management team too which I don’t think you get elsewhere. She is cheerful, more confident and truly enjoys childcare centre. Everyday she comes out full of story from the day and learns so much too from numbers, letters and so many songs and stories. All 3 of my kids have attended this childcare centre and I would highly suggest to anyone. The team here are incredible, especially in preschool.

December 23, 2024 at 11:00 amMembers of team and management are exceptional with my kid who still attends Little Owls and also exceptional when it comes to liaising with me or my partner. They show compassion towards all the kids and bring them out of their shells and help them academically. I would highly suggest this childcare centre in the future as I have done previously. Little Owls Childcare centre Swarcliffe is an incredible childcare centre, both of my kids have attended here in the last 4 years and one kid still attends.

December 24, 2024 at 3:52 pmUpon collection, the team are consistently informative about her day, what the day’s activities are, food eaten and nap times. The childcare centre itself seems to consistently be spotless and has interactive things in the corridor area, especially when the chicks were being incubated – then hatched.. something I’ve not seen myself either. Highly thorough with any bruising and issues to safety/health too. (Forms). Thank you to all the team for working throughout Covid issues and restrictions, and I would happily suggest! The team consistently seem to be in a cheerful mood which I believe reflects on to the kids and I have yet to see my kid come home in a bad mood.

February 3, 2025 at 11:29 pmI couldn’t be happier and my little girl is so excited every time she attends. The management team are second to none as are all of the room team, I completely suggest them to everyone. An incredible team of people who truly have passion and our kids at the heart of everything.

February 6, 2025 at 6:13 amExcellent handovers, and use of tapestry. My kid is highly cheerful when I bring him into childcare centre, and cheerful when I collect him. I have had no issues with the childcare centre. Great updates with parents and involvement in planning etc. A lovely childcare centre, with lovely team who take the time to have a chat with me.

March 9, 2025 at 2:15 amI would suggest it to any parent. Incredible team who understand and know every kid individually. All team know every kid’s name and even siblings! They worked truly hard in settling my little boy into the childcare centre when he struggled with detachment issues, also supporting me with my anxieties around this matter. They have also offered lots of other assistance in other areas and I consistently sense that they are they’re there to help if we need anything. More than cheerful my boy will be progressing into pre-school here. An absolutely excellent place for kids, cannot thank the team enough. Absolutely remarkable childcare centre.

March 17, 2025 at 8:27 amEven though they’re not categorised as Montessori childcare centre as such, I’ve found a lot of similarities. Kid’s development is at the centre, but it’s not forced, carers follow kid’s needs and help them build self‑assurance in discovering new capabilities and develop independence. Kids are encouraged to spend great portion of time outdoor and they get to be involved in creative activities. Carers are doing all their best to expand kids interest in books, nature, art, maths etc. Everyone is highly supportive and try to answer kids’s and parents needs. This place is definitely worth 5 star out of 5. Both of my kids were under the care of Swarcliffe Little Owls Childcare centre and I can never praise them enough!

March 19, 2025 at 8:36 pmAll the team are incredible welcoming attentive people. they gave me truly great assistance when my kid first started with detachment issues and since then my kid has thrived with development. I have never had any issues. The childcare centre is truly well cleaned and the kitchen team do incredible with the food as my kid has never gone without a meal because of not liking it. They consistently have different food to offer if a kid does not like what they have. The management team are exceptional and forever keeping us updated on any changes. Overall I would highly suggest Little Owls to everyone I know. My kid has been coming to Little Owls from 2019 to 2022.

April 8, 2025 at 1:44 pmI count the team there as part of our family, and transitions through our family life and childcare centre life and Covid. Team are so supportive, going above and beyond, not just for kids but families too. My little one is developing so much in a secure, secure, nurturing setting and is consistently excited to tell me about her day. I can’t say enough great things about Little Owls and each team member there. What a team! My kid has attended Little Owls for almost two years and is currently in preschool.

April 15, 2025 at 9:27 amAll the team are consistently so nice and polite. He is going to miss them all and I’m going to miss his stories on what they get upto on a day-to-day basis. Little Owls have been incredible throughout the 3 years my son has been there.

April 21, 2025 at 5:55 pmI haven’t met a worker who doesn’t get down to my daughters level to communicate effectively with her. Management are approachable and have a presence. Everything from playtime sessions to food menus are thought out. Team are creative with the limited resources they have. The childcare centre has a warmth about it once you look past the exterior. Would highly suggest and do suggest to friends and family. There is no better feeling than knowing your kid is cheerful, secure and achieving her milestones. Team are welcoming, consistently with a smile and positive energy.

June 14, 2025 at 5:14 pmThey fully understand what each Kid’ needs and wants and teach with enthusiasm to spark a adore of discovering in all the kids. They include parents as much as they can. From regularly updating the online portal, to activities for parents to send with their kids, to treasured arts and crafts to take home. They are highly inclusive of all religious and secular holidays and events and consistently create enjoyable exploring these events with the kids in creative ways. It’s also highly handy being local to a different demographic to other nurseries in the area. It’s embedded within the community and accessible for a wide range of areas. We could not ask for more from a childcare centre. Little Owls, Swarcliffe are consistently engaging, sensitive and personal to each kid.

June 29, 2025 at 4:21 pmYou truly have brought our daughter out of her shell. I just want to say a truly big thank you to you all. My daughter wouldn’t settle at first but the team at Little Owls have been excellent with her, especially her keyworker.
