August 11, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter loves Little Gems and is excited to go to see her friends and all the staff in the toddler room every morning that she’s there. Knowing she is happy and safe is so reassuring for us. Her speech and social skills have developed greatly and the variety of food she now eats is wonderful.

November 25, 2022 at 12:00 amWe absolutely loved the friendly, supportive environment for our daughter at Little Gems. She was always happy to go to nursery, running in the door with a big smile. The staff are brilliant. We always got a thorough update at pick up. I liked that she had space to play outside as well as lots to do inside too! We had a big folder full of all her arts and crafts and lovely photos of her when we left (moving to another country, otherwise, we’d still be there!). Thank you for everything.

February 7, 2023 at 12:00 amLove it. Have sent all 3 of our kids there. They all loved it. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Lovely staff, very engaged and helpful. A happy and caring environment. My two older children have very happy memories.

February 7, 2023 at 12:00 amIn September 2022 I went to view the nursery and could not fault it. The staff are amazing and so friendly. Looking forward to sending my son there in July. It’s a lovely nursery for him to go to when I return to work from maternity leave.

February 7, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has attended Little Gems since he was in the baby room, and he’s now in the Pre-School room. He absolutely loves it! The staff go above and beyond and it’s clear how much they care about each child. They are so friendly, approachable and kind and nothing is ever too much trouble. The managers have been so helpful and accommodating too. We have been absolutely delighted with the care he has received and we honestly only have good things to say! The facilities are great and the children enjoy lots of outside play, fun activities and trips. The staff are so gentle and encouraging and have really helped my son to develop his confidence and social skills.
My older son has also attended Little Gems after-school and loved it. He was picked up from school (always on time) and spent the afternoons having great fun with friends, doing homework or activities, or just relaxing! It really was a home from home.
We would highly recommend Little Gems to anyone!

February 7, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth my children have attended Little Gems Day Nursery since they were eleven months old and we couldn’t speak more highly of the staff and management. They have created such special relationships with my children and I know when they can’t be with me that they are in good hands. Staff make sure to contact me immediately if there are any concerns about my child’s well-being and are quick to inform me about any incidents that may have occurred during their day at nursery. They have well-balanced and home-cooked meals provided and the staff work closely in partnership with myself and my husband to ensure continuity of care between nursery and home.

February 7, 2023 at 12:00 amA home-from-home experience, my daughter has thrived under the care of the girls in Little Gems. As full-time working parents, quality childcare is gold and that is what Little Gems provides. Highly recommend!

February 7, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has settled in well and very quickly into the baby room and that is definitely down to the wonderful staff at Little Gems. The staff are friendly and positive and with the new app I am able to see what my son eats, his nap times and photos of him which puts my mind at rest. Definitely happy I chose Little Gems

February 7, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son loves going to nursery / preschool. He has been going to Little Gems for a few years now and thoroughly enjoyed each room. The attention to detail is brilliant with lots of activities going on as well as extra themed activities such as Christmas/ Easter/ Mothers Day etc. I like the addition of the app as I can see different pictures during the day and makes pick up quicker. My son has a great relationship with all the staff who are fantastic. Would recommend this nursery!

February 7, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been attending Little Gems for 18 months (daycare, preschool and afterschool), and it’s been a fantastic experience for her.
Her communication and social skills have come on in leaps and bounds, and she has loved going in every day to play with all her new friends.
The staff are super helpful and friendly, and they really care about the welfare of the children – we get a full rundown of everything we need to know when we go to collect her from the nursery.
It’s great that Little Gems is so flexible on the odd occasions when our daughter needs to use the breakfast club or get picked up from school outside the usual routine.
Highly recommended to any parent!

February 9, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter started nursery there this month and so far we’ve only had a great experience with the place – the staff are very friendly and caring, happy to help, talk to you and give you peace of mind and assurance everything is in the hands of professionals. My baby girl is still getting through her adjustment period there but it’s not long after I leave her there I found out they help her to settle well and happy to stay there for the entire day.

March 3, 2023 at 12:00 amMy 1-year-old cries when we drive past Little Gems Private Day Nursery as he’s disappointed not to be going! Brilliant care from the team and first-class facilities and excellent communication. Great variety of food too.

March 3, 2023 at 12:00 amOur little girl has been attending Little Gems Private Day Nursery since October 2020 and we cannot fault the dedication, commitment and support the staff have shown us throughout this time. Our little girl has thrived in the nurturing environment provided by everyone involved in her care and is more than ready for preschool next year. Cannot recommend Little Gems enough!

March 14, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter is currently in the Cubs room, and I cannot praise the staff enough. She enjoys going to Little Gems every day and participates in a vast range of learning activities, such as music and dancing, art, outdoor learning, baking, and so much more. After being born with various medical conditions, my daughter was behind with her development but has fully caught up and is doing great with her speech and social skills, thanks to Little Gems.

March 20, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth my son and daughter attend Little Gems and love it. Our son moved from the baby room to the toddler recently, and the move was smooth – he loves the activities, and we enjoy seeing the photos of what he gets up to. Similarly, with our older daughter – she really enjoys all the fun and learning new things. Attending Littel Gems has definitely helped with both their development in terms of speech and conversations. Both my son and daughter have had food allergies, and not only were Little Gems great about alternative meals but snacks and food in activities such as king buns and making top hats were separate, so we had no concerns or worries.

March 20, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth my girls have attended Little Gems Private Day Nursery since they were 9 months and they are now in Afterschool and about to move to Pre-School. Through the ups and downs as they have grown up, the staff have always supported them and provided a warm and caring environment which has made any transitions easier for the girls to make. The staff are all very friendly to both us as parents and most importantly to the kids, and with the activities they put on to teach and entertain – they make it a fun place to go!

March 20, 2023 at 12:00 amI have two daughters who have been with Little Gems Private Day Nursery since Wobblers and Babies respectively; they are currently in the after school wraparound now they are at school. We have had a positive experience through all the rooms though covid caused a lot of disruption which staff/management did their best to minimise. Staff are helpful and patient in working through different developmental stages with the children and parents. They are friendly and speak to my girls when we see them out and about as well as at nursery. The girls are always quite happy to go in and enjoy their Little Gems days. There is a good range of activities for them to choose from in after school and a great outdoor area. The staff do their best to get the kids outside when the weather is suitable, which I appreciate as I think it’s important. They both attended the preschool which was fantastic and my children learned a lot of very useful skills and information. The care is excellent and I recommend Little Gems.

March 24, 2023 at 12:00 amWe have been very impressed with Little Gems, having sent our eldest son and now our daughter. The staff are friendly and really go the extra mile to help our daughter meet her full potential. We are always greeted with a smile each day and as parents, we couldn’t ask for more. It is clear they really care for the children throughout the various stages of the nursery. The introduction of the app has been a lovely new addition as it enables us to see the fun daily activities and also tracks our daughter’s development through observations.

March 24, 2023 at 12:00 amThe staff are absolutely fantastic. So welcoming to parents and it makes such a difference when your child runs into little gems. It makes being a working parent.
There is a great variety of activities for the children

July 31, 2023 at 12:00 amWe had a disappointing experience here. Our daughter attended from age 2.5-4. We were told initially that they would have tv for about 15-20 min a day whilst staff cleared up from lunch. We discovered indirectly that this isn’t true – they keep the tv on for an hour. When we expressed concern that we weren’t told this, they said they make other toys available during screen time. A couple of visits revealed that while toys may be available, the curtains are drawn and lights are out whilst the tv is on. Upon entering the after-school program, my four-year-old was playing video games and watching movies for well over an hour every day – we were never even informed that she would be introduced to video games in her daycare setting. The content is not educational – lots of trolls and videos of racing games.
I wish I had full visibility of their policies on screens and video games. The upside of Little Gems is the in room staff are very friendly and kind.
