July 9, 2021 at 12:00 amSuch a lovely nursery, the staff are very caring and our daughter loves it here. Fabulous, clean building with a huge garden for the children to play in, a vegetable patch and reading under a magnolia tree – it’s such a lovely environment for her to be in.

July 12, 2021 at 12:00 amOf all the nurseries we looked at for our 18-month-old son Little Minnows was head and shoulders above the rest (and we looked everywhere)! It’s got a feel of home from home where all the staff are wonderful and look after our son so well. The nursery and gardens are stunning. Being in the centre of Truro is also a real bonus. I could not recommend Little Minnows enough. 10/10!

July 20, 2021 at 12:00 amSuch a wonderful place for my little minnow to go for pre-school! The building is gorgeous and all the rooms are so well equipped, I wish I could play in there all day! The garden is enormous and really accessible for the children with lots of outdoor activities to keep them busy. The management are brilliant – really responsive to queries and emails, nothing is too much trouble. They get involved with the children too which is rare to see – my little one raves about them when they play with her. The staff in the rooms are equally wonderful, warm, caring, fun and provide lots of entertainment for the children all day long. There’s parking, it’s close to town, it’s perfect!

July 30, 2021 at 12:00 amSo pleased to find Little Minnows. With lockdown restrictions in place for the majority of my son’s life, we thought it was crucial to find the best place we could as our son hadn’t done any socialising or been left with anyone else before. We feel so lucky to find Minnows. Their child-centred approach to settling has been outstanding. The staff seem so experienced and go above and beyond with their daily updates. I feel that this nursery is truly nurturing as the staff are so good and the beautiful building, rooms and gardens are an absolute bonus. The location is also great for drop-offs and pickups. We have had experiences of other child care provisions and this really is the best. Thank you.

August 12, 2021 at 12:00 amI feel so happy that I found Little Minnows Nursery for my son. The staff are amazing and they look after him so well. I was worried that he might get upset the first time I dropped him off, but he ran in with the biggest smile on his face. I cannot recommend them enough.

September 10, 2021 at 12:00 amWe love Little Minnows! We had to find a new nursery and we were over the moon we found Little Minnows. The staff are wonderful, friendly and take great care of our daughter. She is really thriving there. I love the constant updates on her day and her development. We couldn’t ask for a better nursery.

October 29, 2021 at 12:00 amAs a mother of two, I know it’s the best nursery my kids have been to so far. We were there from day one and the commitment and devotion of the owners and staff is incredible. The setting itself being right in the city centre yet with a massive garden and parking is extremely rewarding. And with the expertise and family values oriented approach it makes it full overall perfect. Small groups fully equipped for age needs provide an amazingly naturing environment and kids are progressing and thriving there. Thank you.

February 1, 2022 at 12:00 amLittle Minnows is such a nurturing setting. The staff are always warm and friendly. It is plain to see they truly care about what they do and lots of thought and attention goes into the activities and provision provided for the children. Communication is really good and they are very understanding and considerate of additional additional requests or needs of individual children. I cannot recommend them enough.

July 4, 2022 at 12:00 amLittle Minnows Nursery is a fabulous nursery. All the staff are kind, caring and helpful. My little boy absolutely loves going to nursery so much so he even wanted to go on his birthday! We recently moved to Truro and had to move nursery which I was really worried about but I never thought we’d find somewhere as lovely as Little Minnows Nursery who made me feel so much better about the moving nursery experience because of their kindness and my little boy slotted right in despite being incredibly shy and nervous he’s come along in leaps and bounds since being at Little Minnows Nursery.

July 4, 2022 at 12:00 amLittle Minnows Nursery is a stunning nursery provision. My husband and I fell in love with the setting when the owners had just secured the premises and were still decorating. The owners were so welcoming and their vision for the nursery just shone through and despite viewing other nurseries, this was the only place we could see our baby attending. The staff are kind, friendly and brilliant with children – my child’s face lights up when the workers welcome him in the mornings. The nursery goes the extra mile. Our child, for example, has food allergies and health needs and they are fantastic at reassuring us that he is well cared for. Also, they put on some many wonderful extras, such as a baby lamb visiting at Easter and Santa visiting at Christmas… such a lovely place. Like most parents, our child is our most precious thing and we trust Little Minnows Nursery to provide him with superb care.

July 5, 2022 at 12:00 amExcellent nursery. My daughter has been there from age 7 months to now at 15 months. She absolutely loves going, which makes it a joy taking her! She goes one day a week, purely for the social element, so I was initially worried it wouldn’t be enough time for her to settle, but even when she’s had a week off, she returns happy to see all of the staff. The setting is absolutely beautiful, with the gardens which are used often by all of the children, which is a massive bonus to a nursery in the centre of town. I also love the home-like atmosphere of the nursery, especially for when my daughter was a lot younger. The sleeping arrangements are excellent, with staff being very accommodating to what you would like for your child, eg options of pram sleeping, as well as in the dark crib room and nap times. The app used to log details on your child makes it very comforting when you’re away from them for a long time, especially the photos that get uploaded throughout the day.

September 22, 2022 at 12:00 amAbsolutely amazing nursery, my little boy has been coming here since they opened. The staff are so, so lovely and kind. Couldn’t recommend this nursery more. My son has come on leaps and bounds in confidence since starting. Can’t thank you enough!

December 16, 2022 at 12:00 amMy little boy loves going to nursery, the staff are helpful, friendly and informative using the system to communicate what our son has done throughout the day.
The staff also let our little girl view the property as she was desperate to see where her little brother was going. Thank you so much for looking after my son.

April 4, 2023 at 12:00 amOutstanding nursery. The staff, the house, the grounds and the level of care are brilliant, and my children always look forward to going. The manager kindly showed us around, and you can see the pride she has for such a lovely nursery that she runs so well. Also, the whole team provide over and above support for my eldest, going through the SENCO process, and the support as a mum has been so great too. They have pushed for his referrals and met me to discuss ILPs and developments, and I am so grateful for their professionalism and dedication to my son. He is coming on so well, and it’s with so many thanks to the whole team! My littlest loves his key workers, and you can tell with every new development and milestone, they are excited, right alongside us! I trust the nursery, and nothing is ever too much of an ask of them. I’m so grateful my kids go here.

April 21, 2023 at 12:00 amLittle Minnows Nursery is a truly wonderful nursery. My son has been attending since he was 10 months so we have been able to experience various ‘rooms’ and I can honestly say the experience has been faultless. The staff are kind, enthusiastic and thoughtful. They completely live up to their “home from home” mantra. Nothing is too much trouble and as I’m a very routine driven mum I’m sure I must cause some headaches (!) they are hugely helpful and willing to be flexible to my (and my sons needs) needs. Choosing a nursery was a difficult decision but I am so glad to have chosen Little Minnows and would (and have) recommend this fantastic childcare setting without any hesitation.

June 16, 2023 at 12:00 amMy children just love going to Little Minnows Nursery and are provided with a wide range of activities to aid with development and exploration of the world around them. They are always excited to go in and even ask during the holidays if they can go in! All the staff are lovely and helpful and the facilities are amazing especially the lovely garden. Communication through EY Log is great and I love reading and seeing what the children have been up to during the day. Also the meals are always varied and nutritious.
