November 16, 2021 at 12:00 amI would highly recommend this kind, caring and friendly nursery! My daughter has been there since she was twelve months old and she absolutely loves it she has really settled which is all down to the nursery nurses! The nursery is very safe and secure. All staff members are friendly and helpful and always have smiles on their faces. They make transitions when the children are moving rooms smoothly, they offer a fantastic menu during the week.

February 10, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been at the nursery for over two years now. The staff are wonderful and not only do they care about my daughter, they also check in with me when they can see things are difficult.
They really do care and they love all of the children. I saw lots of tears last September when the school age children finished and I know there will be lots of tears when my little girl leaves in September this year.
The whole team at the nursery are really fantastic. Sometimes the best part of the day is seeing their smiles when I drop off and pick up it really cheers me up.
I have never worried about my daughter because I know they are caring for her really well. And she learns so many new things there her development is excellent. I would thoroughly recommend the nursery.
Thank you to everyone at Little Houghton Day Nursery xx

February 10, 2022 at 12:00 amWhat a wonderful setting Little Houghton Day nursery is! My son goes two afternoons a week and they care for him as if he never leaves! He had some time off with an illness and the girls in the Ducks room always messaged/called to check on him! The girls are such lovely people and genuinely look after the children as their own!
I will always use this setting and would not put my son anywhere else.

February 14, 2022 at 12:00 amWe love the nursery and the staff are brilliant. But since being taken over by The Old Station Nursery things have not been the same. The meals are not great and my child 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 always 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 staff’s fault and coming from head office. It’s such a shame the merge has impacted parents in this way.

April 22, 2022 at 12:00 amLove the nursery and can not fault the love and care given! Our son has made amazing relationships with children and staff 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 staff’s hands and they must feel 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.

April 22, 2022 at 12:00 amI am blown away by how brilliant this Nursery is. Their care for my two children (one year old and a three year old) has been absolutely fantastic. The key workers they both have are absolutely amazing. The food they have, the activities that they participate in and the care and attention they receive is just wonderful. All of the staff are great with all the children and I can’t thank them all enough.

April 25, 2022 at 12:00 amOur son started nursery in January, first for only two sessions a week now he’s going four day a week and we’re so pleased with the nursery. Ladies are always helpful and they take good care of my son. He still having tears when staying there but when we’re picking him up he’s over the moon with his time there. Ladies always checking not only with him but also asking about us. We can see how he developed through these few weeks and we’re really happy with the outcome.

August 8, 2022 at 12:00 amI had to put my little boy into nursery due to me recovering from a stint in hospital. Little Houghton took on my little boy and organised the paperwork and settling in sessions really quickly. It was a very stressful time for me but little Houghton took that away when my little boy started there. I was made to feel 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 feel welcomed and happy.

August 8, 2022 at 12:00 amLittle Houghton day nursery is such a wonderful environment for my daughter to learn, play and be supported. The staff are excellent providing great activities and encouraging my daughters interests. The food is also very good and we get a lot of information about how my daughter is getting on.

November 22, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has been fully supported by the staff at the nursery. They are very caring and always pay attention to who he is as an individual. They give detailed updates about his progress and daily activities. The staff always reassure me even when he is upset.

April 18, 2023 at 12:00 amExcellent team. Very responsible for the babies. I am very happy!
My baby is happy to go to and is engaged in all activities. Developing his language and social interaction. When he comes home he is ready for a nap as all his commitments for the day has been addressed.

April 18, 2023 at 12:00 amGreat nursery, staff are really caring and helpful, my daughter loves going. Outdoor space is a shame as small but I know they take them to the park regularly. Great at accommodating extra sessions last minute.

April 18, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter loves going to nursery. Knowing she’s happy, eating well and is being looked after by people who genuinely care and know her really well is invaluable. Little Houghton Day Nursery is amazing!

July 19, 2023 at 12:00 amVery happy with all the support given to my little boy despite him being sad upon drop off. The staff 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 feel my boy is valued and appreciated and treated like any other child. They have also supported him really 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 love this but it isn’t their fault due to space of the building.

July 19, 2023 at 12:00 amOur little boy loves going to nursery at Little Houghton, all the staff are so welcoming and friendly. Supporting our little boy in all elements of his development, we can’t thank the team in the pre school room enough. Would recommend anyone to send their child here.

July 19, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been at Little Houghton Day Nursery for over a year now, and after some bad experiences from other local nurseries, this was like a breath of fresh air, the staff are so caring and attentive, no question is too big or too silly and the communication with the nursery is brilliant. My son has gone from strength to strength here and have never had any doubts or concerns leaving him there during the day. Couldn’t recommend the nursery or the staff more!

July 21, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter attends Little Houghton Day Nursery and so did our other two children prior to starting school. The nursery is fantastic. The best part being the staff who really do care, are friendly and help your child develop. Food is also varied and fresh.

July 21, 2023 at 12:00 amWhat a wonderful nursery. The staff are excellent, really friendly and caring. They take a genuine interest in my child. Really good feedback at the end of each session and a very detailed report every 6 weeks on her progress.
We love all the different types of activities the children do and love it when my daughter comes home with a picture she’s made. The food seems excellent.
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 recommend this brilliant nursery.

July 21, 2023 at 12:00 amGreat nursery with lovely staff. My daughter is very happy to go nursery. She has been going there since April 2023. She is learning lots at nursery. Since starting nursery we have noticed her communication skills have improved and she is picking up new words everyday. We feel a warm welcome and are always informed well. We are very happy with everything at Little Houghton Day Nursery.
