Little Owls Day Nursery

He has grown so much under their care. He loves every minute of his days there.
The team go above and beyond in their care and updates.
He gets so excited when he knows he’s going.
The activities are varied and allow for his development.
The food is outstanding (he’s a foodie) and offers so much variety.
I cannot suggest Little Owls enough. They are incredible! My little boy has been with Little Owls since he was 7 months old and is a very clingy baby.

He is so settled there and all the team are lovely, and you can tell they genuinely care about the kids. We can see the positive impact the childcare centre has had on his development. He has grown in self‑assurance and his speech is coming on wonderfully. Thank you to you all! It’s not an easy job that you do it is one of the hardest..you do a remarkable job! We are lucky to have you all. Our son has attended little owls Childcare centre since October 2022.
He loves going to childcare centre and is consistently so excited to see everyone when we say “are we going to see the ladies” he gets so excited!

He will turn 4 in July and absolutely loves it! I was so nervous when he first started childcare centre but he settled in so well. All the team are attentive and get to know the kids. My son talks about them all the time. They cannot do enough for the kid and parent. Their app is incredible and helps you track what your kid has done throughout the day as well as what they’ve eaten. I will be sad when he leaves to go to school as I’m sure he will be. Would suggest to everyone! My son has been going to this childcare centre since he turned 2.

She absolutely adores the team and is consistently excited to go in each day. I’m really pleased with the range of activities she gets to do, including swimming and dancing, but what makes this place extra special are the extra little touches that make parents and our kids sense valued. The management are very welcoming, approachable and welcoming and has consistently accommodated us and our needs. I will be sorry when it is time for us to move on! My daughter has been attending Little Owls Day Childcare centre for over two years and, in that time, she has consistently been very cheerful and well looked after.

This was to advise that my daughter’s childcare offer from Little Owls would be reduced by 50% from the following week due to team shortages.
There had been no forewarning that this may be the case; no indication from the team at any point that the situation had become this severe.
Furthermore, how is this sort of timescale allowed, considering if I wanted to remove my daughter from their childcare centre I was expected to give 4 weeks’ notice?
The childcare centre continued to take on new kids, despite being aware of the national staffing shortages and had absolutely no contingency plan were team to leave.
Moreover, I received no fair and transparent explanation as to how my daughter had been chosen to cut her hours.
My daughter has been extremely unsettled at her sudden change in setting and it has had a significantly detrimental impact on her. On Monday 16th May at 2pm in the afternoon (whilst I was at work).

We spoke to the manager, so said a lot of team had left. I had a few questions:
1. Is the notice period so short you’d allow all your team to be able to leave?
2. Why as an organisation do you not have business continuity plans for this happening?
Little Owls provided a social media statement blaming the government although if you speak to all the other local nurseries in Standish they are not struggling.
The ladies who work in the rooms are nice although in my opinion the management there are showing they do not have the best interest of the kids who attend. The unacceptable timescale to find replacement childcare.
If you are thinking of sending your kid to Little Owls ask yourself how would you sort long-term childcare with less than a week’s notice? Little Owls Standish cancelled 50% of our kid care with less than a week’s notice and we’re not able to explain how kids were selected.

I’m very cheerful with both management and team both are consistently smiling , welcoming and expert at all times. The team provide so much adore and care to each kid and the kids are consistently engaged with new and exiting activity’s my daughter loves it. My son will be joining in September and I cannot wait for him to have and learn new experiences with the little owls gang this childcare centre is absolutely exceptional and I’m one cheerful mummy knowing that they care for my baby’s 100% the way I do , as a nervous mummy returning to work I sense 1 million percent reassurance from both management and team they are passionate about the kids in there care and it shows and I’m proud that my kids attend , thank you little owls day childcare centre I would be completely at a loss without you all xxx My daughter has been attending little owls day childcare centre since she was 7 months old she is now due to leave to attend school in September.

The childcare centre has a very homely sense about it. They have a great variety of activities. The outdoor playtime is remarkable. The meal plans are over a 3-week period and again is a great variety. The online app is excellent for talking to my kid about what she has done in childcare centre. When they turn 3 they are able to go swimming with childcare centre, which again is a excellent advantage.
Both my girls are summer babies and Little Owls gave my eldest the best start to the education system.
The team are inviting and welcoming. Both my girls have attended Little Owls Day Childcare centre and both have enjoyed attending.
