    The building is gorgeous and all the rooms are so well equipped, I wish I could playtime in there all day! The garden is enormous and really accessible for the kids with lots of outdoor activities to keep them busy. The management are exceptional – really responsive to queries and emails, nothing is too much trouble. They get involved with the kids too which is rare to see – my little one raves about them when they playtime with her. The team in the rooms are equally fantastic, inviting, attentive, enjoyable and provide lots of entertainment for the kids all day long. There’s parking, it’s close to town, it’s perfect! Such a fantastic place for my little minnow to go for pre-school!

    Thank you so much for looking after my son. My little boy loves going to childcare centre, the team are supportive, welcoming and informative using the system to communicate what our son has done throughout the day.
    The team also let our little girl view the property as she was desperate to see where her little brother was going.

    We were there from day one and the commitment and devotion of the owners and team is incredible. The setting itself being right in the city centre yet with a massive garden and parking is extremely rewarding. And with the expertise and family values oriented approach it makes it full overall perfect. Small groups fully equipped for age needs provide an amazingly naturing setting and kids are progressing and thriving there. Thank you. As a mother of two, I know it’s the best childcare centre my kids have been to so far.

    All the team are compassionate, attentive and supportive. My little boy absolutely loves going to childcare centre so much so he even wanted to go on his birthday! We recently moved to Truro and had to move childcare centre which I was really worried about but I never thought we’d find somewhere as lovely as Little Minnows Nursery who made me sense so much better about the moving childcare centre journey because of their kindness and my little boy slotted right in despite being incredibly shy and nervous he’s come along in leaps and bounds since being at Little Minnows Nursery. Little Minnows Nursery is a fabulous childcare centre.

    They are consistently excited to go in and even ask during the holidays if they can go in! All the team are lovely and supportive and the facilities are incredible especially the lovely garden. Communication through EY Log is excellent and I adore reading and seeing what the kids have been up to during the day. Also the meals are consistently varied and nutritious. My kids just adore going to Little Minnows Nursery and are provided with a wide range of activities to aid with development and exploration of the world around them.

    The team are so, so lovely and compassionate. Couldn’t suggest this childcare centre more. My son has come on leaps and bounds in self‑assurance since starting. Can’t thank you enough! Absolutely incredible childcare centre, my little boy has been coming here since they opened.

    The team are incredible and they look after him so well. I was worried that he might get upset the first time I dropped him off, but he ran in with the biggest smile on his face. I cannot suggest them enough. I sense so cheerful that I found Little Minnows Nursery for my son.

    My son has been attending since he was 10 months so we have been able to journey various ‘rooms’ and I can honestly say the journey has been faultless. The team are compassionate, enthusiastic and thoughtful. They completely live up to their “home from home” mantra. Nothing is too much trouble and as I’m a very routine driven mum I’m sure I must cause some headaches (!) they are hugely supportive and willing to be flexible to my (and my sons needs) needs. Choosing a childcare centre was a difficult decision but I am so glad to have chosen Little Minnows and would (and have) suggest this remarkable childcare setting without any hesitation. Little Minnows Nursery is a truly fantastic childcare centre.

    We had to find a new childcare centre and we were over the moon we found Little Minnows. The team are fantastic, welcoming and take excellent care of our daughter. She is really thriving there. I adore the constant updates on her day and her development. We couldn’t ask for a better childcare centre. We adore Little Minnows!

    My daughter has been there from age 7 months to now at 15 months. She absolutely loves going, which makes it a joy taking her! She goes one day a week, purely for the social element, so I was initially worried it wouldn’t be enough time for her to settle, but even when she’s had a week off, she returns cheerful to see all of the team. The setting is absolutely lovely, with the gardens which are used often by all of the kids, which is a massive bonus to a childcare centre in the centre of town. I also adore the home-like atmosphere of the childcare centre, especially for when my daughter was a lot younger. The sleeping arrangements are outstanding, with team being very accommodating to what you would like for your kid, eg options of pram sleeping, as well as in the dark crib room and nap times. The app used to log details on your kid makes it very comforting when you’re away from them for a long time, especially the photos that get uploaded throughout the day. Excellent childcare centre.

    Little Minnows is a remarkable setting, providing high-quality care for our little one. Their updates is remarkable and they provide excellent opportunities for our little one on a daily basis. We would suggest Little Minnows to anyone looking for a attentive, setting that feels like a second home for your kid. All of the team at Little Minnows are so welcoming.

    It’s got a sense of home from home where all the team are fantastic and look after our son so well. The childcare centre and gardens are stunning. Being in the centre of Truro is also a real bonus. I could not suggest Little Minnows enough. 10/10! Of all the nurseries we looked at for our 18-month-old son Little Minnows was head and shoulders above the rest (and we looked everywhere)!

    The team are consistently inviting and welcoming. It is plain to see they truly care about what they do and lots of thought and attention goes into the activities and provision provided for the kids. Communication is really great and they are very understanding and considerate of additional additional requests or needs of individual kids. I cannot suggest them enough. Little Minnows is such a nurturing setting.

    The team, the house, the grounds and the level of care are exceptional, and my kids consistently look forward to going. The manager kindly showed us around, and you can see the pride she has for such a lovely childcare centre that she runs so well. Also, the whole team provide over and above assistance for my eldest, going through the SENCO process, and the assistance as a mum has been so excellent too. They have pushed for his referrals and met me to discuss ILPs and developments, and I am so grateful for their professionalism and dedication to my son. He is coming on so well, and it’s with so many thanks to the whole team! My littlest loves his key workers, and you can tell with every new development and milestone, they are excited, right alongside us! I trust the childcare centre, and nothing is ever too much of an ask of them. I’m so grateful my kids go here. Outstanding childcare centre.

    Fabulous, spotless building with a huge garden for the kids to playtime in, a vegetable patch and reading under a magnolia tree – it’s such a lovely setting for her to be in. Such a lovely childcare centre, the team are very attentive and our daughter loves it here.

    My husband and I fell in adore with the setting when the owners had just secured the premises and were still decorating. The owners were so welcoming and their vision for the childcare centre just shone through and despite viewing other nurseries, this was the only place we could see our baby attending. The team are compassionate, welcoming and exceptional with kids – my kid’s face lights up when the workers welcome him in the mornings. The childcare centre goes the extra mile. Our kid, for example, has food allergies and health needs and they are remarkable at reassuring us that he is well cared for. Also, they put on some many fantastic extras, such as a baby lamb visiting at Easter and Santa visiting at Christmas… such a lovely place. Like most parents, our kid is our most precious thing and we trust Little Minnows Nursery to provide him with stellar care. Little Minnows Nursery is a stunning childcare centre provision.

    With lockdown restrictions in place for the majority of my son’s life, we thought it was crucial to find the best place we could as our son hadn’t done any socialising or been left with anyone else before. We sense so lucky to find Minnows. Their kid-centred approach to settling has been outstanding. The team seem so experienced and go above and beyond with their daily updates. I sense that this childcare centre is truly nurturing as the team are so great and the lovely building, rooms and gardens are an absolute bonus. The location is also excellent for drop-offs and pickups. We have had experiences of other kid care provisions and this really is the best. Thank you. So pleased to find Little Minnows.
