Little Learners Nursery & Preschool (Ambleside Avenue)

My daughter (14 months) was one of the first babies at Little Learners Ambleside so it felt fitting that I leave their first review.
The nursery setting itself is amazing, there’s a lovely homely feel as soon as you’re greeted at the door. It’s clean, bright and they have an amazing selection of food each day – which is needed when your baby is a foodie.
The staff at the nursery are all amazing, they each ooze love and passion for their jobs and it really shows. Although little one is in the baby room we are often greeted/updated by the other girls so I feel like we have really gotten to know the whole team and it feels like one big family. I feel so relaxed leaving her here as the communication/updates are brilliant and no matter how many times you call (which was a lot in the first few weeks!) it never feels like too much bother.
I could not ask for anything more from the nursery and the staff and very highly recommend!

Our son (21 months) started at Ambleside a couple of months ago, and he absolutely loves it. It’s his first experience of nursery (or even being away from me), but he’s grown so much in confidence and now happily waves me goodbye at the door.

The staff have made a huge effort to get the nursery up and running, and everything is top quality. The team are all really friendly and we get regular photos and updates during the day, which is lovely. The meal plans are amazing and he seems to take part in a wide range of activities that he wouldn’t normally do at home – including petting the nursery tortoise! His speech is also really developing and we’ve noticed him coming home with lots of new words.

The location is brilliant, being close to the station. Would absolutely recommend it.

All three of my children have been attending Little Learners Nursery & Preschool since aged 9 months. The youngest has been at the Ambleside setting since December. The setting is fresh, bright and new – my son loves it there and has never cried at separation. The staff have become like family members who have built bonds with my children, two of which are now at school. I have always felt very comfortable with leaving my children in their care.

Very good nursery with good personnel. My daughter really enjoys the time she is there. I’m very happy that the personnel is always keeping us up to date on what’s happening during the day with our daughter. I can see what she ate, and how long she slept. I really recommend this nursery to others.

The staff at the nursery are doing a fantastic job. I could not have asked for a better environment for our son to be in. Our son has hearing difficulties, the staff have been attentive from day one and always have his best interest at heart. He goes five days a week and loves it there, we’re able to keep track of his progression online and the staff always give us detailed updates everyday.
There’s a wide variety of learning activities, the meal plans are great and our son is more than happy. His development since starting has been wonderful to see.

Both my children have attended Little Learners (St Nicholas) with my youngest moving over to the Ambleside setting in January 2023 to make the school run a little easier! The staff at both settings are absolutely brilliant and the transfer was such a smooth process.
It’s a testament to the staff that my little one has settled in so well at Ambleside. She absolutely loves it there and has built such a good bond with the staff, who are so caring. They really go above and beyond and have been very proactive in trying different techniques to encourage our little fussy eater. Communication from the staff is great and I love getting updates on what my little one has been up to.
The nursery itself is spacious and secure, with a lovely little garden area. As parents we have absolutely no hesitation in leaving our child here knowing how well cared for she is!
