September 17, 2024 at 4:12 pmWe couldn’t be more cheerful with the care provided. One is happily settled at primary school and the other is still at Early Birds and loving every minute. From the day they started, there has never been any issues and we would highly suggest this childcare centre. Thanks to all the team. Both our boys have gone to Early Birds Private Day Childcare centre.

October 1, 2024 at 9:34 pmThe range of activities the team offer the kids is outstanding and we adore hearing about them at pickup time and via their mobile app.
The food offered is consistently varied, and a wide range of fruit and vegetables are included in the diet. They are also highly accommodating for dietary requirements such as dairy allergies.
Team are welcoming and consistently approachable. Our little boy has been at Early Birds for 2 months now and has had an incredible journey.

October 27, 2024 at 1:54 pmMy son loves coming and I will have no worries in sending my daughter here also. Everyone is so supportive and welcoming. I look forward to the weekly photographs sent on the app. The range of activities provided is fantastic and my son loves to tell me about what he has been doing. I’m so cheerful to have found such a lovely childcare centre.

November 9, 2024 at 8:41 pmThe team are all incredible and highly supportive. In the short space of time my son has settled in well and is cheerful to go to childcare centre he gets excited when he sees the building and has made great relationships with team and his peers. I cannot fault the childcare centre and would highly suggest My son started here in January and he’s a bit delayed in his speech but he’s come on loads already since starting.

November 14, 2024 at 9:50 pmThe best childcare centre I have ever seen and I viewed tons and tons before choosing early birds. All of the team go above and beyond for both of my boys and all 3 of us have formed an incredible bond with every single member of team. Both of my kids have struggled with speech and early birds have been incredible them and catering to their needs and now they are both performing brilliantly! If your looking for a local welcoming childcare centre where you know your kids are secure and cheerful, this is the place. Both of my babies have been going here since being small and one of them is due to leave and start school!

November 26, 2024 at 7:19 pmBoth of my daughters adore the team and adore/loved going to the childcare centre.
They were phenomenal in getting my eldest ready for school and have been outstanding in helping us with our youngest.
Take it from someone who is cheerful to have both their kids attend the childcare centre. They are as outstanding as the Ofsted report suggests. My youngest daughter currently attends Early Birds Private Day Childcare centre and my eldest daughter also attended before she went to primary school.
I can safely say that the Early Birds team are not only expert but clearly adore what they do.

December 15, 2024 at 2:57 amI truly do sense that the team go above and beyond to ensure that our daughter feels secure, loved, and valued. As an ex-teacher I can assure you from my conversations with the team and watching their interactions with the kids, they are all well-trained and you can sense how much they care for the kids and their discovering as soon as you walk through the door. The team give us regular updates on our daughter’s academic development and her day-to-day activities and the pictures on the App are fab and often get me through my workday with a smile on my face. I guarantee you won’t find this level of updates, assistance and involvement elsewhere. Early Birds is a fantastic childcare centre and provides an exceptional level of care, education, and assistance to our daughter.

December 29, 2024 at 8:08 amMy little one has additional needs and has GDD. From starting they have been incredible with her, interactive, proactive and communicate with me to ensure her needs are met. Would highly suggest. Can’t fault this childcare centre.

February 1, 2025 at 9:25 amThe team engagement, consistency and assistance are demonstrated in every aspect of that care. We especially appreciate the updates via the app and how they consider her individual needs and development. A inviting and attentive setting that is helping her to thrive and we are truly grateful for everyone’s efforts and energies! My daughter has attended Early Birds Private Day Childcare centre for over a year now and we cannot fault the care she receives.

February 23, 2025 at 7:11 pmFirst impressions at Early Birds were exceptional and I felt at ease leaving my son with the lovely team while I went to work. As time has progressed, I sense that the team have an incredible bond with now both of my kids. They keep you updated with their every move throughout the day. The team understand the importance of ‘show and tell’, as they get to know the kids’s lives outside of childcare centre and encourage parents to send pictures of their kid’s weekend or special occasions to tell their friends about and to boost their self‑assurance. I adore hearing my son talk so positively about his key workers at home, as they are also important people in his life, helping him grow. He’s now more than ready for school and it’s all down to Early Birds. Thank you. I highly suggest this childcare centre. We moved our son here from a previous childcare centre that he attended.

February 26, 2025 at 5:14 amEarly Birds have provided me and my daughter with excellent assistance from the day she started knowing she has speech delay and also undergoing her diagnosis. The team in pre-school have been remarkable they also have SEN team to accommodate my daughter’s needs and anyone else who is SEN. I am currently working with the childcare centre towards an ECHP where we had a meeting to discuss my daughter’s needs and what extra help we can be given which will help when she starts primary school. Team are highly welcoming when dropping off and picking up, they also don’t hesitate to have a great chat about what your kid has been up to that day. The team at Early Birds have been incredible, patient and accommodating to my little girl. I would consistently suggest to anyone trying to find a childcare centre. My little girl has been attending Early Birds for just over a year now and is due to start school in September, my daughter who has recently been diagnosed with autism loves attending Early Birds.

March 2, 2025 at 9:49 pmThe team have consistently been accommodating and even if my kid has certain issues the team do work with my son to help him development and take out of my kid as an individual. We will not move him purely because he has a truly great bond with this childcare centre and the team. This is the best childcare centre I have experienced and we will continue to use Early Birds until my kid goes to school in 2025. My son loves it here we travel for over 40min to let him attend Early Birds.
Parker Rowe
March 5, 2025 at 5:28 pmHer development is second to none which I think is purely down to Early Birds and the team. Highly recommended. My daughter has been coming to Early Birds since she was 3 months old and they consistently go above and beyond.
Charlie Cross
April 7, 2025 at 12:56 pmHe started at Early Birds aged 2 having spent most of his time in the home before that due to lockdown, so it was a big change. We were also slightly of our little one as he spent the first two weeks of his life in special care.
Our little one has truly thrived over the past two years. I have consistently found the team fully supported and keen to deliver outstanding care. Several of the team have degrees and higher qualifications in Early Birds and many have been there for many years.
I would 100% suggest this childcare centre. My little boy is now in his final months at Early Birds Private Day Childcare centre.

April 27, 2025 at 12:06 amMy granddaughter has been attending there for nearly three years. It is due to the professionalism of all the team that she will be more than ready for school when she will just be four years old.
The teaching/activities etc that are undertaken with the kids are incredible, they truly thrive and become confident.
I speak to other parents/grandparents constantly and have done over the years. Without exception, all of us cannot praise Early Birds high enough.
They have a highly low turnover of team which enables the kids to sense content, cheerful and secure.
It is highly obvious that all the team care highly deeply about the kids by the way that the little ones react when arriving or saying goodbye.
Also, all meals are cooked on the premises and are outstanding.
I have highly recommended Early Birds to others when they were looking for a childcare centre. Early Birds Private Day Childcare centre is a remarkable childcare centre with a fantastic highly attentive team.

May 6, 2025 at 2:23 pmOur daughter has been here for a year now and I cannot suggest Early Birds enough! From the moment we walked through their doors, I knew she would be in excellent hands.
For me what truly makes Early Birds Childcare centre so special is the adore and care that the team show to each and every kid. They go above and beyond to make sure that our kids sense secure, loved, and valued, and they work closely with parents to ensure that each kid’s unique needs are met. Anyone who’s had their kid in attendance for more than a day will know the work they put in every day to assistance the kids and keep us updated. They even have an App where we get photos of our daughter’s day and updates on her development and activities which help us sense involved in her discovering and mean we can extend the discovering to our home.
If you’re looking for a nurturing, supportive, and educational setting for your kid, I cannot suggest them highly enough. It’s no wonder this place is so well regarded locally.

May 26, 2025 at 1:28 amMy son will also be starting later this year. As a parent especially with your first kid it can be so scary leaving your kid in someone else’s care but from the highly first day all the team have gone out of their way to put my mind at ease and gone above and beyond to help my daughter learn and grow. My daughter loves this childcare centre it’s like a home away from home. There isn’t a single aspect of the childcare centre that I can fault from the meals they provide up to the level of care and compassion. I cannot suggest Early Birds enough! My daughter has attended the childcare centre for 2 years now and will be there right up to school.

May 30, 2025 at 3:49 amShe was 13 months old and had no interest in eating solid foods and had shown no signs of pulling herself up to stand or walk. The team have been absolutely incredible, working with her week after week and coming up with new ideas to help her develop. She absolutely loves going to childcare centre and you can truly see that this isn’t just a job to the team. They truly do care about the kids and look after them as if they were their own! My daughter started at Early Birds in September last year.
Casey Quincy
June 25, 2025 at 1:16 amShe is consistently so cheerful to see the team in a morning and gets to access so many different activities including outdoor playtime. We adore Early Birds! My little girl has come on so much since joining childcare centre in October 2022.

July 9, 2025 at 12:45 amMy eldest kid was still at childcare centre when we found out our baby would be born with a heart problem, the team supported us then (even offering extra help for my eldest when he was born and in hospital) and supported us with our youngest kid eventually joining childcare centre. I placed him there because I knew he would be cared for the way he needed to be and I could be assured that he was secure. Since attending he has caught up on all his milestones and is becoming a confident little man. I would suggest Early Birds to anyone, they are like a family to us now. Both of my kids have attended Early Birds, I knew it was the right place as soon as we viewed, it felt homely and the team seemed mature and experienced.
