January 20, 2022 at 12:00 amI knew of the nursery from many years ago due to having come across it through one of the kids I used to look after and when I received the email we had a place for my youngest I was really happy! My son is very happy there and I’m always assured that the staff treats him well and they do their best possible. The reason why I now have also lined up my second boy to join in. All staff is very very friendly and welcoming and I couldn’t have chosen better in my opinion. Thank you

January 20, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter attends Little Tots and can’t thank them enough for how amazing they are with her. My son used to attend so I was really pleased she was able to join. No nurseries in the area compare to what Little Tots provide. Forest school is a firm favorite and their amazing garden is loved so much by my daughter. The staff are very kind, great with communication, and have always been caring towards my daughter. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending little tots to other parents.

January 20, 2022 at 12:00 amSo happy with this nursery. The staff is amazing and so friendly. The most important is that my child is happy too and that means they know how to teach them making them happy at the same time.
Thank you for the amazing job you are doing with our children!

January 24, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son started nursery one week after his second birthday. He was completely non verbal and having lots of tantrums. After some months, he has learned a lot and made so much progressed, now he is saying lots of words and seems so happy every time we pick him up. The staff are very caring and they report all the child’s progress and have great communication with you all the time.
We are very happy with this nursery and cant recommend it enough.

January 24, 2022 at 12:00 amI moved my daughter to this nursery not long ago as she wasn’t old enough to join before. We were delighted with the smooth adaptation and how excited she is every day to go, and asks for it over the weekends as well! It’s been tough to match the high bar they raised at home.. but we are slowly trying to add Montessori activities on her routine. Her independence has grown so much since and so did her confidence.

January 26, 2022 at 12:00 amI am a father of one of the children who goes to the Nursery and I have been satisfied with the school and the structure, and how they are trained to nurse the kids in the time with them. As a father of two, I will give them 5 stars and can’t wait for the other to join her siblings at the school.
Thanks and keep up the good work.

January 26, 2022 at 12:00 amAs a parent, I can’t expect anything more from a nursery. Not only the facility, toys, equipment are great, but also staff attitude, kindness, enthusiasm, patience and work ethic are all invaluable. My daughter loves the time she spends here and we are so glad to see her development as a person in all aspects since we have started last year. Very much appreciated and highly recommended!

January 26, 2022 at 12:00 amMy Daughter and now my son attends Little Tots Reading and I can’t recommend it enough. Lots of varied activities for the children, a huge focus on teaching them to be independent ready for school. The staff are warm and friendly, they genuinely care about the children and their development.

January 26, 2022 at 12:00 amHonestly the best nursery. I’ve had experiences with 5 nurseries in total with both of my children. My son is currently attending Little Tots and it is hands down the best nursery my children have been to. The staff are incredible with the children and have great energy, you can tell how much the children love them and the love that they have for the children. My son loves forest school and dancing and has come such a long way since he joined the nursery. They give regular updates on an app which is great. The facilities are amazing and they’re always doing something different. There are weekly emails to keep parents up to date on what the children have been doing. My son and I will be so sad when he leaves for school! I recommend this place to everyone and found out about it through recommendations myself.

January 28, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son loves it here. He can’t wait to get in the front door in the morning and has a lot of positive energy at pick up. Feedback from staff, about the child’s day and events, is good. Seems to be a very natural and engaging environment that staff have built. We are very happy with it.

February 3, 2022 at 12:00 amLovely nursery setting and staff. My daughter has been attending for two years after switching from another nursery, and absolutely loves it. (She could not settle at the other nursery). She has bonded very well with all of the team, the activities are great and varied, she loves being able to use the outside space throughout the day and the extra activities like dance, cooking, forest school etc are just great! Will be signing my little one up when she is old enough to join.

February 9, 2022 at 12:00 amWe love the nursery! My son who started at age three was very shy. Teachers helped him to settle in and are still very supportive.
We love that they recognise individual needs and encourage them whenever possible

March 2, 2022 at 12:00 amOur experience of Little Tots has been fantastic from the moment of first contact with the Manager and the team. They were incredibly understanding and patient when our start date at the nursery was delayed. When our daughter finally began at the nursery nine months ago, I found all the photos, videos and information on parentzone incredibly reassuring as I could see that my daughter was playing and learning and she was, most importantly, happy! She has benefitted so much from all the extra activities Little Tots offer, such as Forest School, dance classes, and cooking. She has formed good relationships with the staff, all of whom I’ve interacted with are friendly, helpful and kind. Regular news letters provide in depth information about all the topics, materials and ideas the children have been exploring which is great to know! We are so happy that we choose this nursery for our daughter and have loved seeing her independence, curiosity and empathy flourishing. Highly recommend.

March 14, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending the nursery for two years and we are so happy with her experience there. We feel that the staff really foster the children’s independence and support them in their personal areas of interest. I love that the children have access to the outside area whenever they want it and that they are free to choose whichever activities they’d like to do inside. My daughter loves Forest School and it has given her so much confidence outdoors. The staff are very easy to communicate with and I have been able to raise areas of concern with them in respect to my daughter and they have always listened and supported us. My son will start at the nursery soon and I am confident that he will also have a great experience there.

February 8, 2023 at 12:00 amAbsolutely amazing nursery for my son. We had a difficult year with a different nursery but this one has been supportive and managed to engage my little boy who had terrible experiences with his last. He’s so happy going in and always has so much to tell me when I pick him up! I feel he is safe and cared for. It makes the world of difference having staff that actually like and enjoy their work. You can see it through the children! Please never lose your ethics and maintaining staff quality.

February 9, 2023 at 12:00 amI have a very sensitive and attached boy who I thought would not manage the nursery setting well but the teachers at Little Tots have shown him so much love and support and he is thriving. He has not cried once during drop-offs and has adjusted very well to his environment. His key worker has been an absolute pleasure to work with and is always willing to work with us to address any of his dietary restrictions and other health requirements, without ever making us feel like we are a bother. Overall highly recommended for anyone looking for a slightly different approach to a typical nursery setting. We love the Montessori ethos and looking forward to seeing what he can learn there over the coming years.

February 27, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son started with Little Tots Nursery – Reading recently and from day one has absolutely loved it. The staff have been nothing but lovely and the other children have been so sweet and welcoming. Would highly recommend Little Tots as I can also see the Montessori style of learning has been really good for my son. Excited to see him grow further in this loving environment.

April 10, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter loves going to the nursery every day! Due to covid she spent her first two years at home and was only able to go to nursery after her second birthday. At Little Tots we’ve seen her development accelerate. Coming from a non-English background the level of language and communications skills she’s developed in less than 6 months is incredible. The nursery staff really nurture the kids’ skills and interests and empower them to explore the world around them. Our daughter loves going every morning and when I pick her up she’s always smiling and eager to tell me about her day.
The outdoor garden is amazing, full of fun activities and areas for children to engage in. Indoors the children are able to move from one area to the other easily and pick their activity.
