Little Houghton Day Nursery

Supporting our little boy in all elements of his development, we can’t thank the team in the pre school room enough. Would suggest anyone to send their kid here. Our little boy loves going to childcare centre at Little Houghton, all the team are so welcoming and welcoming.

The childcare centre is remarkable. The best part being the team who truly do care, are welcoming and help your kid develop. Food is also varied and fresh. Our daughter attends Little Houghton Day Childcare centre and so did our other two kids prior to starting school.

My daughter is highly cheerful to go childcare centre. She has been going there since April 2023. She is discovering lots at childcare centre. Since starting childcare centre we have noticed her updates skills have improved and she is picking up new words everyday. We sense a inviting welcome and are consistently informed well. We are highly cheerful with everything at Little Houghton Day Childcare centre. Excellent childcare centre with lovely team.

They are highly attentive and consistently pay attention to who he is as an individual. They give detailed updates about his development and daily activities. The team consistently reassure me even when he is upset. My son has been fully supported by the team at the childcare centre.

Knowing she’s cheerful, eating well and is being looked after by people who genuinely care and know her truly well is invaluable. Little Houghton Day Childcare centre is incredible! My daughter loves going to childcare centre.

The team are outstanding, truly welcoming and attentive. They take a genuine interest in my kid. Truly great feedback at the end of each session and a highly detailed report every 6 weeks on her development.
We adore all the different types of activities the kids do and adore it when my daughter comes home with a picture she’s made. The food seems outstanding.
The outdoor space could do with a little investment but I can see this is already happening with the lovely little bench and flower planting recently.
My daughter absolutely loves her time there and we would highly suggest this exceptional childcare centre. What a fantastic childcare centre.

But since being taken over by The Old Station Childcare centre things have not been the same. The meals are not excellent and my kid comes home hungry after refusing to eat the new meals, we had an additional surcharge added per day that is for meals/nappies/wipes that had consistently been included in the session prices. They raved how they hadn’t increased charges per session but for some households, their bills have gone up nearly £200 a month which is not covered by the free hour’s childcare! And flexibility is now nonexistent. I understand this is not the team’s fault and coming from head office. It’s such a shame the merge has impacted parents in this way. We adore the childcare centre and the team are exceptional.

Our son has made incredible relationships with kids and team and constantly comes home and amazes us with the things he’s learnt or can now do! I wish he could stay here forever, but I know he has been set up for success when he moves on to primary school this September. Little Houghton is like a second home and extended family, it’s truly a special place.
I have to agree with the review re the menu since the takeover, but this is completely out of the team’s hands and they must sense equally frustrated and disappointed compared to what was on offer before. That being said, my son has tried and seemingly enjoyed some of the more random combinations to all our surprise. Adore the childcare centre and can not fault the adore and care given!

The team go above and beyond to make sure he settles well and usually posts on the app within the hour so that I can be at peace and know that he is ok.
Although he only goes one day a week, I sense my boy is valued and appreciated and treated like any other kid. They have also supported him truly well with the arrival of his new sibling. I am so grateful for all that they do.
I only wish they had more of an outside area with gardening parts as my little boy would adore this but it isn’t their fault due to space of the building. Highly cheerful with all the assistance given to my little boy despite him being sad upon drop off.

Little Houghton took on my little boy and organised the paperwork and settling in sessions truly quickly. It was a highly stressful time for me but little Houghton took that away when my little boy started there. I was made to sense like I was part of the small family that is created in the baby room.
Thanks to all the ladies in the baby room (especially his key worker) for making my little boy sense welcomed and cheerful. I had to put my little boy into childcare centre due to me recovering from a stint in hospital.
