March 10, 2020 at 12:00 amLike any parent, I was so worried about sending my kids off to nursery when I returned to work. But this nursery really alleviated my fears. They clearly adore working with infants and small children, and our twins love attending. One of our twins has some additional needs, and they’ve gone out of their way to be supportive – which means so much to us in many ways – it really has made a difference.

December 15, 2020 at 12:00 amI can only be honest with reviews. I must admit that in the beginning, I had my complaints, but after speaking to the staff members about my queries, I realised that everything could be solved with communication. My oldest child attended this nursery, I don’t think I would want to change that fact. My youngest now attends, and he absolutely loves it. The staff members know him by ear mostly, and by sight. He adores each and every one of them. He can be very visual when he dislikes a person and I have never been witness to that since he has been attending. I’d just like to let the staff know that they are doing a great job, improvements could be made, but nothing major. Keep up the good work everyone.

November 15, 2021 at 12:00 amVery friendly nursery. My child loves attending every morning. He enjoys the food and is always happy to be there. Place is a bit crowded and outside space could be bigger but I guess I am looking at it from the adult’s perspective. Good communication with management and the loveliest staff you can imagine.

December 19, 2022 at 12:00 amGreat Nursery, my little one has been going since she was ten months and you can see how much she has developed. Everyone always greets her by name and also any family members who collect her. I would definitely recommend it for peace of mind when going to work

December 19, 2022 at 12:00 amMy child has attended Little Elms, Shirley since he was eight months old and is due to continue into pre-school with them this month. He has always been happy there and loves the staff, knows their names. Communication is good and prompt and when I’ve had concerns they have been immediately addressed.
He loves the garden. He has also taught me lots of songs!
Happy mum, happy child!

December 19, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter loves this nursery, she settled In really well (went to a different nursery before this one). The staff are really friendly, kind and caring towards the children. My daughter has made friends and always talks about her day and what she has done. She has loads of allergies and the staff have been amazing with catering to all her needs.
My only issue is the way the fees are worked out with the funding. The fees can change from month to month, which is a problem. I think they should work it out where the fees and funding are divided by the 12 months so the fees are exactly the same each month. This is what my daughter’s previous nursery did and it’s so much better because you are not caught out in a month where the fees can be £100 more than a previous month. Apart from that the nursery, staff and facilities are amazing.

December 19, 2022 at 12:00 amOur son has been in nursery since one year old. Initially a very anxious parent. Staff always take time to offer reassurance, support and advice. Our son is now in pre-school thriving. We are in awe at his knowledge at such a young age. They offer a broad and wide curriculum based around current affairs. Our son is happy, confident and well-loved!

April 3, 2023 at 12:00 amWe have had a really good experience so far with Little Elms Daycare Nursery. Our toddler loves her key worker so much, some days she doesn’t want to come home! The nursery is clean and spacious with lots of engaging toys, a nice garden and friendly staff.

April 3, 2023 at 12:00 amStaff are polite and very accommodating. Very child centered. My son loves it there, always happy to go, comes home and tells me all about his day and is always excited at the end of the day. Nursery is very convenient for commute and the opening times is good for getting to work.

April 3, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been going there since she was a year old. She has grown so much, she learnt so much. She looks forward to going to nursery. We love it as the staff are friendly, lovely and very accommodating and important they care and look after her. Would highly recommend them. Keep up the good work Little Elms Daycare Nursery.

April 3, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter used to attend Little Elms Daycare Nursery a few years ago and now my son also does and they have always loved it! I love how the staff are so approachable and so willing to help at all times. A great nursery, never afraid to give the kids cuddles when needed!

April 11, 2023 at 12:00 amMy granddaughter was very clingy and we were sure the transition would take forever. We were correct, but only in regard to the clinginess. After her settling-in sessions, she was still very clingy but not tearful. She just transferred her clinginess to her keyworker! Who was with her during the transition and gets on with her very well. But the tears and upset didn’t last half as long as we thought.
The staff are very good with her and I am astounded at her progress and how confident she is. When she speaks, I know she is soaking up lots at nursery. Spontaneously singing songs and having conversations about her friends. She loves telling what they did.
It is a really nice place, the staff are friendly, and the security is good. Outside play space is OK. Reporting what she has done during the day is good. Not just “oh a good day”. The family app is a great addition when you are in a rush. She seems to like the food. Tells me she eats stuff she won’t try at home. She is happy.

April 11, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has attended for the last two years. The staff are fantastic and always ready to help. The learning environments accommodate different activities for each child to learn through play and develop independent skills, socialise and communicate. There is a lovely outdoor area always being used no matter the weather. My 3-year-old son said I like the bike in the garden, I like the nursery food and he really enjoys the arts and crafts and I love seeing his creations.

April 11, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended Little Elms since I went back to work last October and she loves it. I feel nothing but secure when I leave her alone during the day. Her key worker is so attentive to her and the bond they have made is beautiful. The nursery has an app to keep you updated all day on your child’s activities (this is such a highlight for me so I don’t feel like I’m missing out on what she’s getting up to) food is made in-house and is perfect to keep her on a good but very varied diet, I would highly recommend the team here.

April 13, 2023 at 12:00 amAmazing nursery. Staff are attentive, always keeping the parents in the loop, test the children on all aspects of cognitive, mental and education elements and provide an in-depth reporting system, continously for all parents. Kids love it here!

June 7, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been there for 2 years and they are fantastic. They are attentive and creative with the children. They take on feedback well and ensure parents are involved and aware of everything happening within the nursery. From class pets, getting In football coaches my son has really enjoyed his time there and has grown and learnt so much. Would highly recommend

June 8, 2023 at 12:00 amOur son has been attending since September and loves his days at Little Elms Daycare Nursery. He goes in with a smile and leaves with a smile, and that’s a testament to the great staff. Each day is filled with so many activities. We love to receive the photo/video updates and the app has been a great addition. Being able to login from work and check in on him is really reassuring.
Our son has a number of allergies and the support we have received from all the staff has been great. Thank you Little Elms!

June 11, 2023 at 12:00 amA brilliant nursery. Amazing staff who are very attentive. Our son loves spending time there and is fond of all the staff. Our son has learnt so much from the team. Food is plentiful and balanced. The team at Little Elms Shirley always go out of their way to organise fun activities and mark special events. Everything is logged through an app where you can also privately email the team which is a useful tool. Highly recommend.
