September 3, 2024 at 4:45 pmI now know 100% it was the right choice! My little boy comes out of childcare centre every night soo cheerful and tells me about his day. They do so much discovering and activities every day, and also spend a lot of time outside with the kids, which I think is excellent!
All the team are so supportive, and if I have ever been worried, they consistently manage to put my mind at rest!
Wish I started my little boy here from the beginning! I moved my little boy from another childcare centre to here, so I was unsure if I was doing the right thing!

September 13, 2024 at 8:02 amOriginally I chose it because of the proximity to my job, but I have since left my job, and work in the opposite direction. I can’t even consider moving her to another childcare centre as we all adore Little Bugs so much. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since going, and she loves all of the carers, particularly her key-worker.
She has made many little friends who she babbles about when she gets home, and she is consistently cheerful, and well looked after. We adore Little Bugs and can’t suggest it enough. My daughter started at Little Bugs when she turned 11-months-old, as I went back to work.

October 21, 2024 at 4:00 pmMy son has been going since he was 9-months-old, and they are incredible.
My son loves the childcare centre and the people so much he runs out with a smile on his face and runs in with a smile on his face (to the point I don’t even get a goodbye anymore) but that’s all I have ever wanted.
I cannot thank every single person at Little Bugs enough; what they do is incredible, and they have changed what they do to meet the new Covid19 guidelines, but not once have the kids been affected by this.
Incredible setting for any kid. If I could give this childcare centre a million out of 10 I would.

November 18, 2024 at 4:29 pmThe facilities are tremendous. Constant outdoor playtime including napping outdoors. Large forest area for nature time, use of outdoor and indoor space and well set up rooms. My two daughters are in different groups can playtime together (not in Covid times, unfortunately), and the team put on such a variety of activities. From tending to the farm animals, messy playtime, sparklers on bonfire night, baking, the list goes on and on. They do more in a week here than my eldest did in a whole year at the previous childcare centre. The team are wonderfully attentive and engaging.
My kids would rather be at childcare centre than at home! And my Year 2 daughter is still sad that she can no longer go. That to me says it all! One viewing of this childcare centre, and you’ll be sold, I was. I will rave about this childcare centre till the cows come home.

November 19, 2024 at 9:09 pmThey both have loved the team who are welcoming informative and have excellent connections with all the kids I’ve seen. The food is excellent and the activities even better. Forest school, activity park, outdoor and indoor playtime as well as the animals and craft area. New security measures put into place to keep the kids even safer and highly flexible. During these awful times, the team have consistently been pleasant and have adapted well. Would most definitely suggest this childcare centre and now my eldest is at school, as soon as the out of school club reopens – they will be staying on to attend this too. Both my kids have attended this childcare centre.

December 2, 2024 at 11:55 pmThe team are lovely and welcoming, and I sense exceptionally at ease having them care for her. She does a wide range of activities whilst there, and I particularly like that they spend lots of time outdoors. Her vocabulary, self‑assurance and physical skills have greatly improved whilst attending.
Our daughter has a food allergy, and they have dealt with this highly well.
They have been remarkable during the Covid situation, and I have felt highly cheerful for her to return to childcare centre as soon as it reopened.
Little Bugs is remarkable, and I would highly suggest it to anyone looking for a childcare centre setting. Our little girl absolutely loves coming to childcare centre.

December 8, 2024 at 10:37 pmOur daughter started in the baby room and is now in pre school. The carers and educators are fantastic, attentive and nurturing. I particularly adore that they spend a lot of time outdoors in nature or playing on bikes etc. The kids also have access to remarkable facilities. I would highly suggest. Little Bugs Childcare is a fantastic childcare centre and we have had a highly positive journey.

December 27, 2024 at 12:30 pmThey’re incredibly expert and it’s a home from home for our kids. Our little boy has severe allergies and the team have worked with us through the years to ensure his safety and our self‑assurance in them. They’re worth their weight in gold! Little bugs is an outstanding facility with a attentive team looking after our kids, we have been using them for 3 years and both of our kids attend, I couldn’t suggest them enough.
Dakota Reid
January 21, 2025 at 2:59 amThey are so informative when I collect her, telling me all about her day. She consistently has a massive grin when I drop her off. Can’t suggest this childcare centre enough! I sent my daughter to Little Bugs in July, the team were remarkable as it was truly hard not being able to go in with her.
Justice Taylor
February 23, 2025 at 8:35 pmIt is a fantastic childcare centre with outstanding team. My daughter has been attending since she was 1.5 years old, and I have complete trust in the management and team. They provide the most attentive and loving setting. Thank you! I wouldn’t suggest Little Bugs childcare centre enough.

March 9, 2025 at 3:58 pmOur first son has grown through the ranks and is now at primary school, we have no doubts that he settled so well due to the massive part the Little Bugs team played in preparing him! We have his younger brother in the toddler room, and he loves it just as much.
The whole set up is exceptional, with plenty of outdoor space! Our son loves being outside in the forest school and going to visit the animals. The kids have free run of the adventure park on a morning before opening, which was a massive hit.
More than anything, the team at Little Bugs are outstanding! They have a excellent team who are all so loving and attentive, leaving us with no doubts that we’ve left the boys in great hands! The attention to detail in tweaking ways of discovering tailored to the kids is exceptional!
We couldn’t suggest Little Bugs enough! We first started our son at Little Bugs in July 2017 after being unhappy with his first childcare setting, and it wasn’t long before we all began to adore Little Bugs.

March 20, 2025 at 5:56 pmTeam are incredible and truly show that they care about each individual kid. Would highly suggest. Everything from the meals to the indoor and outdoor activities is constantly engaging with kids and is enjoyable and exciting. Remarkable childcare centre.
Gray Keane
March 22, 2025 at 1:55 amThe team are highly welcoming, excellent updates throughout, and my daughter has an incredible time there. They do lots of activities, and I can tell she is discovering so much. My daughter loves going to this childcare centre!
Harper Keller
April 26, 2025 at 5:54 pmThe on-site facilities including the use of the activities park site, variety of activities and huge amounts of outdoor space are above anything I have seen elsewhere, and I can’t imagine him going anywhere else. He first started coming at 10 months old and is now 2 and a half. There were a few tears at the beginning (mine and his!), but they did a excellent job of settling him in, and before I knew it, he was eating double or triple portions of their varied food menu. I also truly like how they tailor the activities to match the kids’s interests, so they are more engaged. My son has unusual interests (pigs, activity park and numbers are his favourite things) but his carer finds creative ways to make activities that all the other kids will delight in too. They are currently having weekly forest school days for no extra charge where they are outside all day which my son loves. Little Bugs has been absolutely remarkable at looking after my little boy.
Spencer Ferguson
April 30, 2025 at 6:17 pmThe setting put me at ease with everything they have put in place and have worked hard at making the most of situation with the kids. The facilities are incredible from farm animals to outdoor facilities to the arts and crafts, cosmic yoga and forest schools is another level! Such a remarkable journey for my son so far who has come along in self‑assurance, numeracy and phonic skills. They obviously have to bring kids out of the setting to meet parents at the moment but a full handover of the day is given in detail and answering questions. Thank you Little Bugs for a excellent first educational journey for my son! This is the first childcare setting my son has ever been to and to be introduced in an setting which is following such strict guidelines for Covid-19 was a new journey for me as a parent (with 2 older kids).
Alex Turner
May 31, 2025 at 8:44 pmHe is highly well cared for and greeted with a smile each morning. We adore hearing what he has been up to and have seen a huge difference in his development since starting childcare centre. His keyworker knows him well, and all the team are so welcoming and attentive. We know he’ll consistently get a cuddle if he needs one! He joins in with activities to work towards his next steps, but above all, he’s cheerful. We’re glad we chose Little Bugs! Our kid has settled so well into the baby room at Little Bugs.
Quinn Lang
June 7, 2025 at 11:35 amWe receive detailed feedback on how she is progressing and what they have been doing/working on. The team all remember her name when arriving and give her a highly welcoming welcome, which helps settle her. Would suggest to anyone! Highly cheerful with the care my daughter receives; she clearly loves spending time at Little Bugs, consistently comes out with a huge smiler on her face!
Sidney Hobbs
June 17, 2025 at 5:22 pmOur journey throughout this time has been outstanding.
My daughter has developed lovely relationships with both her peers and carers. She has been exposed to many different activities and discovering opportunities by the team of team, who have consistently been personable and supportive.
I think the outside space the kids have to playtime and explore at Little Bugs is remarkable, and I like that outdoor playtime is truly encouraged.
Our second kid will be starting at Little Bugs next year, and we are looking forward to her having a excellent journey too. My daughter has attended Little Bugs since she was 15 months old.
Reese Parker
June 29, 2025 at 2:19 amMade our daughter sense highly welcome and settled, and now our little girl is excited to get there on a morning. Such a great variety of activities, never two sessions the same. Lovely day childcare centre with excellent team!
Justice Griffin
July 7, 2025 at 3:20 pmThe variety of activities and facilities are incredible, and the team are all exceptional.
We’ve recently moved, but still, travel 40minutes each way just so we can keep our son here until he goes to school. Worth every minute!
Our son also had an emergency at childcare centre, a while ago, due to medical conditions he has and the way the team handled this was beyond incredible! Another reason I’ll keep him here until school age. Absolutely incredible childcare centre!
