March 16, 2018 at 12:00 amWhen I first thought about looking for a nursery a friend told me about Little Faces and I am so thankful that she did. I had a visit to Little Faces after viewing another nursery and everything about that first visit set my mind at ease and I felt my daughter would be well looked after by staff who appeared to love 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 staff, 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 staff are passionate about childcare.

June 21, 2018 at 12:00 amLittle Faces was recommended to us by a teacher of a primary school and has met/exceeded our expectations. Having sent our other child to another local nursery, we can see such a difference in the care Little Faces provides. It is intimate enough for the staff to know and care for my child yet big enough to offer amazing opportunities such as trips and outsourced lessons such as Spanish.

January 30, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been at this nursery since she was 7 months and is now just over two. I couldn’t have asked for more from a nursery, the staff are always kind and nurturing. My daughter has made great progress and I trust that my daughter is cared for and looked after well 100%. The activities she is part of are fantastic, the food she is offered is always yummy. My daughter always comes home with a smile on her face and runs in every morning to see the staff, children and loves the environment. Thank you Little Faces.

March 5, 2021 at 12:00 amMy youngest daughter is in her last 6 months of attending Little Faces and has attended since just before her 1st birthday.
I feel so lucky that, like her sister, she had the opportunity to experience the highest level of care and developmental opportunities whilst attending Little Faces.
The nursery oozes love, fun and kindness in all that they do, going above and beyond to put all their little people first.
If you have a child with any form of allergy or medical needs which is stopping you from putting them into nursery, then this is the nursery for you. They have been so amazing since my daughter’s diagnosis of Coeliacs’s disease not only with the food they give her but in play activities which may contain gluten as well.
I will be very sad not to be visiting this wonderful place when she leaves in the summer term.

December 16, 2021 at 12:00 amThe staff at Little Faces have gone above and beyond with their care for my child who has extra care needs. We started at Little Faces at eleven months old and my child loved it from day one. Always goes in with a smile and comes out with one too. The food is excellent and I’ve often heard my child has had more than one helping! The staff have all done extra training to help care for my child and everyone in the setting knows the children and how to care for them. The rooms and facilities are fantastic with great all weather outdoor space for each age room which was important to us as the children get a good amount of fresh air every time they go. The support my child gets, as well as us as a family, exceeds our expectations, and the help we have had from staff to access charities and services to help us has been amazing. Nothing is any trouble for them to deal with. Going to Little Faces means you’re part of a family. We’re so happy we chose this nursery for our child.

July 22, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth of my boys have attended Little Faces Childcare over the last 6 years and I have nothing but praise for this nursery. I’ll be so sad when my youngest starts school and has to leave!
The staff here go above and beyond every day. Games and activities are so fun and engaging (camping in the garden is always a particular highlight!) and educational too. Phonics, Spanish, meeting animals, they do it all. Beautiful crafts for special occasions, funny photos and just really exciting projects that teach so much in a fun 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 brilliant progress 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 love the children they care for, it’s plain to see, and makes leaving your child so much easier knowing they’re loved, nourished, nurtured and having fun!

July 22, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth of my children have attended Little Faces Childcare from the age of around 6 months old until 4 when they start school. Both children have been cared for in such a way you are comfortable to leave your children here, the staff are lovely, the food is good the children eat well and are well looked after in my opinion. They are constantly entertained and both of my girls have loved attending this nursery and always look forward to attending. It’s such a nice environment 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 amazing and thought goes into everything they do, be it Mother’s Day/Father’s Day it really is made so special, keep up the great work!

July 22, 2023 at 12:00 amLittle Faces Childcare is a lovely little nursery and the team are all wonderful. It’s a small and intimate setting in a beautiful rural location surrounded by fields, which gives lots of opportunities for the children to learn about wildlife and nature.
The team are so friendly and nurturing. They create wonderful bonds with the children. They constantly strive to improve and are passionate about what they do.
I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for childcare in the Chelmsford area.

July 26, 2023 at 12:00 amWe cannot thank Little Faces Childcare for all they have done for both our children. We have been attending Little Faces since 2017 and my children have loved it. They have both thrived since attending. Their vocabulary is excellent and they have become confident little individuals.
We always get a warm welcome, a full update of their days and a happy send off. Would openly recommend Little Faces to anyone.
I am sad that our children’s time has come to an end at pre-school but know that Little Faces have prepared them for big school and their futures.

July 27, 2023 at 12:00 amWe have had a truly amazing time at Little Faces. Both our daughter and now our son have attended the nursery and I would like to thank all the staff 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 always talking about the fun 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 feel very blessed that Little Faces gave both my children a fantastic start to lifelong learning. Thank you Little Faces so much.
