January 21, 2021 at 12:00 amA wonderful nursery that has taken superb care of my son for two-and-a-half years. A happy, enriching and caring environment for children with brilliant staff. I am very grateful to all at Little Learning Ladder and my son has benefitted greatly from his attendance.

January 22, 2021 at 12:00 amWe are so pleased that my child loves his time at Little Learning Ladder. The staff are so fantastic and supportive. I can be assured that he will be looked after well. It’s a place where we feel safe in leaving our child during the day. There are many educational activities for kids to learn and explore. My child has so much fun times. Cannot thank all the staff and management team enough. Really highly recommended.

January 22, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son loves it here. He settled in straight away (didn’t even look back the first day ) the staff are amazing and really know the children on an individual level. Since starting, my son has come on leaps and bounds with speaking, stopped the bottle and started potty training. As a parent, communication on the app is amazing. I love the pictures and I always feel like all the staff are approachable and have time for me no matter what. All I can say is my son wakes up on Saturday and asks to go to nursery.

January 25, 2021 at 12:00 amThe nursery management team and every member of staff truly care about the kids. They are all so friendly, approachable and professional.
They try their best to update parents throughout the day via their online portal which I absolutely to love to see.
My daughter seems so happy attending Little Learning Ladder and to me that’s all that matters.
I would highly recommend.
We appreciate you staff at Little Learning Ladder.

January 25, 2021 at 12:00 amI couldn’t wish for a warmer, more nurturing environment for my daughter. All the staff are so friendly and attentive; you feel they know their stuff and that they genuinely care. So well managed and great communication. I’m delighted my daughter has the opportunity to grow and develop in such a positive place.

January 28, 2021 at 12:00 amCannot praise the staff enough, the daily updates on the activities undertaken to help with my child’s development is second to none. The difference in my child’s abilities and confidence has increased dramatically and she is always full of smiles. I know my child is safe, and well catered for each day, and for a parent, I couldn’t wish for a better team.

January 28, 2021 at 12:00 amMy little boy has been attending Little Learning Ladder since day one and I have to say I dread the day when it’s time to say goodbye to everyone when he leaves for school. They are truly exceptional in their field and treat each child as the individual they are. I love their fun, friendly approach to things and I never feel like I can’t approach them for anything. The manager runs a tight ship, but that’s evident in how awesome her staff are. I don’t think the kitchen staff get praised enough for the amazing food they supply every day. I can’t recommend this nursery enough and as an LGBT parent, I love how inclusive and welcoming they are to all families from all backgrounds. Thank you for being incredible.

January 28, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending Little Learning Ladder since May 2019 and I can’t fault the care he receives from the staff. We appreciate all the hard work from the staff, especially during the hardest year. My son loves being at nursery he can’t wait to go every day so thank you to all the Little Learning Ladder staff for making it such a loving wonderful environment for the children.

January 28, 2021 at 12:00 amOur son started there 4 months ago and he is absolutely loving it. We are very pleased with the nursery and the development of our son (he is now 18months) since they are taking the best care of our son and at the same time they’re doing many different learning activities. Our son is bilingual and he already understands both English and his mother language, thanks to the nursery. Thank you Little Learning Ladder.

January 28, 2021 at 12:00 amCan’t recommend enough! My son has been in Little Learning Ladder since he was 10 months old and through all the years we’ve been super happy with the care and attention he’s received. This year feels like they have stepped it up even more. During the pandemic they have made sure to provide support, reassurance and a safe place for our little ones to go back to learn, develop and thrive and experience some sort of normality when there’s chaos all around. We are so grateful. Thank you for all you do.

January 28, 2021 at 12:00 amI only have good words to say about Little Learning Ladder. They have helped my 2-year-old son so much with his speech which is behind. Little Learning Ladder created a care plan for him and the staff provide us with daily updates regarding how he is getting on. Through the help of the staff, his speech is progressing so much. Our son has been at Little Learning Ladder since he was 10 months old and he loves it. Little Learning Ladder is so welcoming and culturally diverse which is the environment we wanted our son to be part of. Thank you for everything you do!

January 29, 2021 at 12:00 amMy baby had the smoothest transition to nursery thanks to Little Learning Ladder. She has a great time every day, enjoys a range of lovely activities, plays outside in the playground, and even goes on little walks now to explore the surrounding area. Staff have been nurturing her since in the first days and in particular, she’s managed to build great relationships with her key staff despite the initial language barriers. My little one has been flourishing in Little Learning Ladder and I would very much recommend it to parents looking for a nursery in the city centre.

February 4, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending Little Learning Ladder for nearly six months now and I can’t recommend this place highly enough. From the settling process to the current day every staff member at Little Learning Ladder have been excellent. The team really know their stuff and it’s very clear that they passionately care for the children that they are looking after. I feel that my son’s development has been massively enhanced by attending Little Learning Ladder and this is due to the time taken by his key worker and the Red Room team to plan engaging activities for him to try.
The updates that we receive on the Parentzone app are great, it’s so reassuring to know that my son is being so well looked after and he always looks so happy in the pics and videos that we receive. It’s so nice to see what he’s doing and great to read the observations by his key worker.
The nursery also provides well balanced and nutritious meals, which my son clearly enjoys!
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Little Learning Ladder anyone looking for a great nursery!

June 21, 2021 at 12:00 amThe settle in process for my daughter was amazing. The staff worked the number of sessions around how well my baby settled into the environment. They made sure both my baby and I were comfortable and ensured I could attend the sessions until I felt ready to leave her alone. The nursery made a difficult transition a lot more relaxed with their approach.
By personally attending some of the settle in sessions also allowed me to get to know the staff so I felt like I wasn’t leaving my baby with strangers.
The nursery staff are so enthusiastic and really show love and care with their personal approach.
We had issues with our baby refusing a bottle and being breastfed and the team were amazing at helping to try transition my baby onto a bottle with breastmilk.
Covid has obviously caused the nursery to change their usual processes but being new during the pandemic I still think everything runs smoothly and the team do everything they can to make things comfortable.

April 14, 2022 at 12:00 amSince my little boy started at this nursery when he was six months old we have all been made to feel very welcome! The team really try to help you with your individual baby’s needs and even though his original Key Worker moved to another room he already feels very at home here. I think we will be here for a long time!

April 22, 2022 at 12:00 amThe nicest nursery and people. This nursery has made any worries I had go away especially when my daughter started at three months old. I feel very comfortable leaving her. Wouldn’t change the nursery for the world.

April 27, 2022 at 12:00 amI can’t recommend Little Learning Ladder enough. All the staff are very friendly and take excellent care. Our little boy has come on leaps and bounds with his speech, walking and eating since joining. The app is great also as you can see updates throughout the day. I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

April 27, 2022 at 12:00 amMy little girl has been attending this nursery for almost 3 years, it is filled with love and laughter from the minute they enter the doors. She has grown so much since she started and has made so many friends and learnt so much. Gemma and the team make learning fun and ensure the children are taught everything from education to religion and even down to hygiene and kindness. The only thing I am sad about is that she has to leave to go to junior school as she loves the nursery so much as do I. Choosing a nursery is so daunting but I promise you will not be disappointed with this choice!

April 27, 2022 at 12:00 amSince my daughter started here when she was three months old her communication and movement have come on leaps and bounds, staff are all welcoming and make parents feel externally comfortable. Would 100% recommend it.

July 28, 2023 at 12:00 amExcellent nursery with competent and caring staff. Well run with a diverse array of daily activities for all ages up to four years, including a delicious menu prepared by a kitchen which caters to all culinary requirements. It’s a pleasure to take our son to this establishment and cannot recommend it highly enough.
