September 18, 2024 at 4:39 amThe team are so welcoming and welcoming. My son joined in September and I worried about him settling as he was moving from somewhere that he loved but I didn’t need to worry. He settled in so quickly because of the team and his key worker. He gets to learn in the way that suits him best which is generally outside and messy. He comes home talking about the things he has done and can’t wait to go back the next day. I have been singing your praises and recommending you to friends. I can’t suggest Early Birds Nursery enough.

September 28, 2024 at 10:56 pmAll the team are extremely inviting and welcoming, and the setting is very inviting with lots of lovely toys and a lovely little outdoor area. Overall I am very cheerful with Early Birds Nursery and would definitely suggest it. My little boy has only recently started at childcare centre but seems to be loving it already.

September 29, 2024 at 3:02 amOur son has settled in so well which was a real concern as he has only been with us, since being born in May which was in the middle of lockdown. The manager, another particular member of team and the team are so reassuring and have been exceptional in getting him settled into a routine and getting him down for naps. Having been only fed to sleep for eleven months that was a real worry for me but he’s been totally fine! The updates throughout the day are exceptional and even though we still have a few tears on drop off, I know that he’ll be cheerful after a cuddle and some books. One member of team in particular sends us an update in the morning and he consistently looks cheerful and we can see he’s getting more confident with every session. We honestly couldn’t be more pleased. The team are so inviting and attentive to the kids, I’d suggest Early Birds Nursery in a heartbeat. We are so grateful to have found Early Birds Nursery.

October 2, 2024 at 5:59 amThe team have been incredible over lockdown and have done a excellent job of getting back to the new normal. There is a really calm atmosphere led by the team. The outdoor discovering is excellent, even in the rain! Also, the app makes it really easy to communicate and see how they are making development. I would highly suggest to anyone. Our son loves going to Early Birds.

October 20, 2024 at 2:27 pmShe consistently bounces out of the door at the end of her session, armed with artwork! She’s not the most confident being away from us but she’s consistently put at ease, and feels close to her key workers that she can have cuddles if upset which is a huge relief! Very welcoming team, a secure and relaxed setting and I can see her self‑assurance grow. Would highly suggest! My daughter attends Early Birds Nursery and I couldn’t be more at ease.

October 29, 2024 at 2:13 pmAny questions or worries I had/have are consistently met with kindness and advice from both management and team members.
The space itself is lovely and boasts lots of exploring opportunities for the kids. I must also add how secure we have felt (with current circumstances) through this setting’s exceptional response to guidelines and requirements as well as their updates to keep us all informed.
Overall, this setting has been the perfect find for me and little one. I have and will continue to suggest to family and friends. Such an incredible team who helped my 1-year-old settle in very quickly and happily.

November 5, 2024 at 5:03 amHe has made so friends already and looks forward to his childcare centre days. All team have made him and myself so welcome and comfortable, especially one member of team in particular. The updates is remarkable with the team. My son started here a couple of months back after moving him from another setting and has settled so quickly he loves it.

November 8, 2024 at 2:12 pmShe happily goes in and happily comes out, consistently with stories to tell about her day. She has now been going for over 6 months and she is consistently eager to go to childcare centre.
The team are incredible and welcoming. Would consistently suggest Early Birds Nursery. They have especially been excellent during lockdown at looking after and protecting the kids, whilst also trying to keep things normal for the kids. My daughter absolutely loves Early Birds Nursery, and consistently states how excited she is when it’s time for her to go to childcare centre.

November 12, 2024 at 4:49 pmHe gets sad he can’t go in when it isn’t his days!
He does loads of activities outdoors, and they are cheerful to accommodate what he wants to do such as potion making! My kid loves going to Early Birds Nursery since starting there in September.

November 14, 2024 at 1:53 pmThe assistance all the team at Early Birds have shown has been incredible and the self‑assurance our little one is gaining whilst there is down to all their hard work.
Thank you. I have been really impressed with the childcare centre we choose for our little one, from the start we have been really cheerful and since the manager has started the childcare centre has gone from strength to strength.
Our little one has got so much out of her time here and continues to grow.
Logan Steele
November 20, 2024 at 4:33 amShe has made so much development with playing with others and becoming more confident in herself. She gets so excited to be going to childcare centre, which is a lovely feeling – definitely suggest to any parent. My little one loves going to this childcare centre.

November 27, 2024 at 6:16 amMy kid runs in happily and doesn’t even stop to say goodbye to me, what more could I want! Staff keep me updated on anything I need to know daily and any questions from me are consistently answered promptly. A lovely childcare centre, welcoming and enjoyable!

December 18, 2024 at 12:10 pmMy daughter was especially nervous about leaving me at first but they really worked with her so well. Now she runs in without a second thought. The friendships made here last forever, we meet up and playtime outside of childcare centre too. It’s lovely to hear about all the different activities they get up to! We adore Early Birds!
Reese Holland
December 27, 2024 at 4:27 pmFriendly and compassionate team – who are informative and easy to chat to. My little boy has made some excellent friends, he absolutely loves going to childcare centre and has settled in brilliantly with the team and kids. Early Birds is a remarkable childcare centre.
Lane Walker
December 30, 2024 at 12:42 pmThey consistently go above and beyond for her and all the other kids to make sure they are cheerful and well looked after. I would 100% suggest. I’m very lucky to have such excellent women looking after my daughter at childcare centre.

March 6, 2025 at 5:05 amHis speech, social interaction and discovering has been fabulous. So cheerful and glad we have chosen Early Birds for our son as we adore the close interaction with us as parents and his fondness for all the ladies and other kids there is fantastic to see. Our kid has been attending Early birds for 4 months now and seen a hugely positive development in him.

April 8, 2025 at 1:28 amMy 20-month-old little boy started at Early Birds in April and although it took him a little while to settle, the team have been so incredible at calming him down at drop off and helping to settle him.
He is very attached to his primary carer and it’s lovely to see the bond they have formed in such a small amount of time.
I adore the updates I get about his day, he is consistently doing so many different activities and when I pick him up I can tell he’s had a excellent enjoyable-filled day!
The team are so excellent, I would suggest Early Birds to everyone.
Riley Sutton
May 22, 2025 at 2:09 pmHowever, she is so cheerful to go in at Early Birds consistently runs in and doesn’t look back.
The team are really nurturing and accommodating, and she has already formed excellent relationships with them.
Highly recommended! We were really worried about putting our 18-month-year-old in the childcare centre as she is usually not excellent at leaving us for any amount of time.
Robin Clarke
May 30, 2025 at 5:13 amHe gets a excellent mix of free outdoor and indoor playtime, as well as adult-led activities tailored to his age. We receive regular communications with photos showing what he’s been doing and how it ties in with developmental expectations – he doesn’t consistently tell us what he’s been up to so it’s nice to have this insight from his keyworker. Recent examples include using different tools to break ice sheets, driving a remote-controlled car over a bridge, playing a number recognition game, constructing a ball run out of pipes and getting messy with cornflour gloop. Teamwork with peers is encouraged, and it is lovely to hear him talk about friendships he’s starting to build.
I have also been impressed with how the team has handled the changes and requirements throughout the pandemic, all of which were communicated clearly to parents and implemented quickly within the childcare centre. My 3.5-year-old son has been attending Early Birds for over a year now, and loves every minute.
Lennon Sharpe
July 8, 2025 at 1:44 pmHe settled in incredibly well and seemed to find his feet and settle very quickly. I’m sure this has been due to the team welcoming him in and making him sense secure and at home in this fantastic setting. The team have been, and are remarkable. Very welcoming, nurturing, compassionate, attentive and welcoming. Communication between team and me or my daughter who picks him up is exceptional, letting us know important information, how his session has been and how he is getting on. Also, the online connection is stellar keeping us up to date on vital information. Would highly suggest this setting to anyone who has a preschool kid and is looking for a preschool. My grandson came to this setting in September last year (2022) his transition from a previous childcare centre to this one was remarkable.
