    I’ll be so sad when my youngest starts school and has to leave!
    The team here go above and beyond every day. Games and activities are so enjoyable and engaging (camping in the garden is consistently a particular highlight!) and educational too. Phonics, Spanish, meeting animals, they do it all. Lovely crafts for special occasions, funny photos and just really exciting projects that teach so much in a enjoyable way! They learn about other cultures and try new meals. Every element of their development is considered at Little Faces and both of my boys have made exceptional development here. My eldest strode into school, confident, social, capable and independent and I know my youngest will be the same, thanks largely to Little Faces. They adore the kids they care for, it’s plain to see, and makes leaving your kid so much easier knowing they’re loved, nourished, nurtured and having enjoyable! Both of my boys have attended Little Faces Childcare over the last 6 years and I have nothing but praise for this childcare centre.

    I couldn’t have asked for more from a childcare centre, the team are consistently compassionate and nurturing. My daughter has made excellent development and I trust that my daughter is cared for and looked after well 100%. The activities she is part of are remarkable, the food she is offered is consistently yummy. My daughter consistently comes home with a smile on her face and runs in every morning to see the team, kids and loves the setting. Thank you Little Faces. My daughter has been at this childcare centre since she was 7 months and is now just over two.

    We started at Little Faces at eleven months old and my kid loved it from day one. Consistently goes in with a smile and comes out with one too. The food is outstanding and I’ve often heard my kid has had more than one helping! The team have all done extra training to help care for my kid and everyone in the setting knows the kids and how to care for them. The rooms and facilities are remarkable with excellent all weather outdoor space for each age room which was important to us as the kids get a great amount of fresh air every time they go. The assistance my kid gets, as well as us as a family, exceeds our expectations, and the help we have had from team to access charities and services to help us has been incredible. Nothing is any trouble for them to deal with. Going to Little Faces means you’re part of a family. We’re so cheerful we chose this childcare centre for our kid. The team at Little Faces have gone above and beyond with their care for my kid who has extra care needs.

    Both our daughter and now our son have attended the childcare centre and I would like to thank all the team for their exceptional care over the last 6 years! They have been patient, encouraging, engaging and loving – we appreciate it beyond measure.

    Our son is consistently talking about the enjoyable activities he does at Little Faces and will happily sing all the songs he has learned. He loves phonic songs! His experiences are so rich and interesting and he has flourished at Little Faces.

    I am already feeling sad about moving on to ‘big school’ but sense very blessed that Little Faces gave both my kids a remarkable start to lifelong discovering. Thank you Little Faces so much. We have had a truly incredible time at Little Faces.

    I sense so lucky that, like her sister, she had the opportunity to journey the highest level of care and developmental opportunities whilst attending Little Faces.
    The childcare centre oozes adore, enjoyable and kindness in all that they do, going above and beyond to put all their little people first.
    If you have a kid with any form of allergy or medical needs which is stopping you from putting them into childcare centre, then this is the childcare centre for you. They have been so incredible since my daughter’s diagnosis of Coeliacs’s disease not only with the food they give her but in playtime activities which may contain gluten as well.
    I will be very sad not to be visiting this fantastic place when she leaves in the summer term. My youngest daughter is in her last 6 months of attending Little Faces and has attended since just before her 1st birthday.

    I had a visit to Little Faces after viewing another childcare centre and everything about that first visit set my mind at ease and I felt my daughter would be well looked after by team who appeared to adore their jobs.

    My eldest daughter has now started school but my youngest is still at Little Faces.

    They have both been exceptionally well looked after by not just their key workers but all the team, who genuinely seem to care about them. I have never felt rushed when dropping off or picking up – I get a thorough handover every evening.

    I have been overwhelmed with how much they have learnt, both academically and socially – the amount and variety of activities that they do each day amaze me!

    The setting is lovely and very secure. I would not hesitate in recommending Little Faces to anyone – this isn’t just a business, the owner and team are passionate about childcare. When I first thought about looking for a childcare centre a friend told me about Little Faces and I am so thankful that she did.

    Both kids have been cared for in such a way you are comfortable to leave your kids here, the team are lovely, the food is great the kids eat well and are well looked after in my opinion. They are constantly entertained and both of my girls have loved attending this childcare centre and consistently look forward to attending. It’s such a nice setting I almost wish it could be a school! Little Faces has been a big part of our journey and we really will miss them, everyone is incredible and thought goes into everything they do, be it Mother’s Day/Father’s Day it really is made so special, keep up the excellent work! Both of my kids have attended Little Faces Childcare from the age of around 6 months old until 4 when they start school.

    Having sent our other kid to another local childcare centre, we can see such a difference in the care Little Faces provides. It is intimate enough for the team to know and care for my kid yet big enough to offer incredible opportunities such as trips and outsourced lessons such as Spanish. Little Faces was recommended to us by a teacher of a primary school and has met/exceeded our expectations.

    We have been attending Little Faces since 2017 and my kids have loved it. They have both thrived since attending. Their vocabulary is outstanding and they have become confident little individuals.
    We consistently get a inviting welcome, a full update of their days and a cheerful send off. Would openly suggest Little Faces to anyone.
    I am sad that our kids’s time has come to an end at pre-school but know that Little Faces have prepared them for big school and their futures. We cannot thank Little Faces Childcare for all they have done for both our kids.

    It’s a small and intimate setting in a lovely rural location surrounded by fields, which gives lots of opportunities for the kids to learn about wildlife and nature.
    The team are so welcoming and nurturing. They create fantastic bonds with the kids. They constantly strive to improve and are passionate about what they do.
    I’d highly suggest them to anyone looking for childcare in the Chelmsford area. Little Faces Childcare is a lovely little childcare centre and the team are all fantastic.
