March 4, 2020 at 12:00 amCan not recommend highly enough. I was lucky enough to have a place for my daughter at Little Pines from the age of ten months to three years old. She attended full time and flourished there. It’s a small and intimate environment and one that is built on genuine love and care. She built strong and deep relationships with the staff, some that will truly last a lifetime. The staff go above and beyond each and every day and I had no doubt they were all caring for my daughter as if she was their own. It gave me absolute peace of mind working full time knowing she was in such safe and loving hands. Each day was structured with learning and development as a priority, along with the importance of being kind. Such a blessing to have found Little Pines and thank you from the bottom of my heart. Always.

March 4, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son absolutely loved Little Pines! The staff are all amazing and really care passionately. The nursery is clean and provides for children with an excellent place for fun and growth. I felt comfortable leaving my baby there while I have to work. I am grateful for all that the team has done for my son. Thank you Little Pines.

March 14, 2020 at 12:00 amI would highly recommend Little Pines Day Nursery! My daughter has attended since she was 1-year-old and she is now coming up to 4-years-old this summer. Little Pines is such a lovely nursery, the staff are so kind and attentive and always make sure that our daughter and her friends have an exciting day full of fun and learning. My family and I are so impressed with the care and nurture that our daughter receives and we are thankful for them not only looking after our little lady whilst we go to work, but helping her to develop important life skills as she learns the ways of the world. Parent feedback is excellent too. Our little one has a medical condition and the staff are all fully trained and we feel she is very safe in their care. Little Pines offers so much more than many other nurseries we visited in the area and we would highly recommend. Your little one would be in the best care at Little Pines.

March 20, 2020 at 12:00 amBoth my children went to this nursery, and I feel so lucky they could be part of the Little Pine’s family. Both of mine have left now and flourishing at school thanks to the support they had at Little Pines. Such fond memories.

April 21, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended Little Pines Day Nursery for the past 3 years. Now as she approaches her 4th birthday and a school placement we will be extremely sad when the inevitable day comes she has to leave.
The family spirit and involvement from all of the staff are incredible. A lot of care, attention and love is provided.
My daughter is a shy child that has really been championed to enhance her self confidence. She has made amazing friends and we have been connected with these young friends and their families.
We are lucky to have this nursery experience and the high level of care that is provided.
Never is a question left unanswered, a request left unfulfilled and on occasion, our little girl doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day. That in itself speaks volumes to the fun and engagement she has throughout her learning at Little Pines.
We could not recommend the nursery more. It’s absolutely superb.
Thank you all at Little Pines, we owe you so much. More than we could ever repay.

April 21, 2020 at 12:00 amMy 5-year-old attended Little Pines from age 1 right up until school and my 1 year old has attended from 6 months. Both have been very happy here and my little one is always excited when he can see we are getting close. All the staff are lovely and I would definitely recommend Little Pines to anyone.

April 21, 2020 at 12:00 amWe feel so fortunate that both of our children were able to be part of the Little Pines family over the years. Such a nurturing and wholesome environment. The staff members are without exception some of the kindest, brightest, most caring and loving people I have met in any environment. Management are fantastic… understanding, competent, compassionate. I really can’t thank them all enough for helping get my two very different children ready for the daunting world of school and life itself. Thank you for everything you’ve done for us.

April 21, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending Little Pines since he was one, as as a September baby, he’ll be there until he’s almost 5.
We loved the smaller, family atmosphere of Little Pines from our first visit. It feels truly home from home and all the staff are fantastic.
My son has felt comfortable and at home from his first day, he’s always strolled in very happily.
His key workers have been fantastic and I utterly trusted them. I also love the fact they take them out on little adventures to the park and even the fire station.
My son has food allergies and they’ve always been brilliant with his care plan and go out of their way to buy alternative snacks and ingredients for when they are cooking together.
Not only that I think it’s tremendous value compared to other local nurseries.
I’m so delighted with our choice and would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone.

April 24, 2020 at 12:00 amBoth my children have attended Little Pines Nursery, the 1st child loved it, and we wished we had found the nursery sooner after trying several that we both didn’t get along with, she left over 7-years ago and now her little sister is currently attending twice a week, and loves her days spent here. They are so caring and nurturing; they seem to have the perfect balance of free play and set activities. All the staff are lovely and so easy to get along with. I highly recommend to anyone who wants home from home feel child care.

April 24, 2020 at 12:00 amAn excellent nursery school with small numbers of children and very caring, dedicated staff.
Both my children have loved Little Pines, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
The happiness of the children always comes first, and you can have peace of mind that they are being very well looked after at all times.

April 28, 2020 at 12:00 amBoth of my children have been lucky enough to attend full time at Little Pines. The Owner and the team give nothing but the highest standard of care for all the children. My kids have developed so much and learnt so many future life skills there. The best recommendation I can give is that both children were always excited and happy to go to nursery every day, every single day.

April 28, 2020 at 12:00 amOver 15 years our 3 daughters have been fortunate to have the truly exceptional start Little Pines brings to a child’s life. The genuine care for every individual growing personality, the exemplary start to education, the endless fun experiences and the caring friendships etched in hearts for a lifetime. Little Pines give children the very best foundations to begin their onward journey to school with confidence and a head start into learning. Can’t recommend highly enough.

May 18, 2021 at 12:00 amI can’t praise Little Pines and their staff highly enough. It is a wonderful, family-run nursery that genuinely feels like a home from home. I have never met a group of staff who love their job more and this shows in everything they do. My daughter started here having recently moved to the area and the team put my mind at ease when she had a tough first day and within a week my daughter was running into nursery without a backwards glance! Thank you for providing such a wonderful, nurturing and fun environment for all the children.

May 20, 2021 at 12:00 amOutstanding nursery. The whole team are amazing carers who I trust completely with my daughter who joined at 14 months. I have seen our daughter’s social, play and speech skills improve dramatically after a day at Little Pines and her keenness to learn. I have just had a son and he will be joining his sister there. I cannot thank them enough, it is very clear to see they all love their job.

May 23, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son had been going to Little Pines Day Nursery since he was eighteen months old and he is four now. I viewed over eight nurseries and for me, Little Pines Day Nursery had the best vibe and felt the most secure. Also, I knew a friend of a friend that sent her little one there. The staff are very chilled which I love, not highly strung and have so much time for the kids. They are easy to approach if you have questions or want advice, one member of staff, in particular, has written out advice for me in her own time. I love the amount of outdoor time they have and the fantastically different activities they do. Also on many occasions, they have done things above and beyond such as, my son loves Michael Jackson and one member of staff bought in one of her Michael Jackson books which went down amazingly well.
My son has learnt so much in his time there. Love the family feeling and I know my son feels the same I can tell by the way he talks so fondly of them.
I will also be sending my daughter when it’s time.

May 26, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been going to Little Pines Day Nursery for around two years now. Every time I tell her it’s nursery today, she jumps up excitedly and quickly getting dressed! She has never had a bad day there. The nursery staff are so kind and caring, they have really helped her development and supported her needs. When I am going to work, I am calm as I know my little one is in good and safe hands, and she is very happy every time she is there, and that makes me a happy parent. So, I can highly recommend this nursery to everyone who loves the small home atmosphere, and kids love it too! Before Little Pines, we have tried a few different nurseries and childminder, and trust me, Little Pines was the only one that is excited to go every day with no problem. Every day they do different things with kids, you see this on your child online account so you can check their progress, and they do a lot of adventures trips too! Just can’t recommend it enough!

June 24, 2021 at 12:00 amWhen looking for a nursery we chose Little Pines as soon as we stepped through the front door.
The care is second to none, the atmosphere feels safe, homely, warm and friendly.
You have a sense that they are truly invested in the care and development of your child.
Over the 2 years that our daughter has been at Little Pines, we have gotten to know each of the staff well and that is down to their time dedicated to speaking to you at the beginning and end of each nursery day.
Our daughter has skipped into nursery since she started, it’s reassuring knowing she is happy there and has a strong bond with the staff.
I couldn’t imagine our daughter or her sister going anywhere else, it really is a gem of a nursery.

June 25, 2021 at 12:00 amI can’t recommend Little Pines enough! It has become our extended family. They raised my first son whilst I worked, so very well. They’re caring, kind, go more than the extra mile for your child, welcoming with kind-hearted souls. My son still misses it there and he’s 6. My other son started this year and loves it. Seeing them both thrive and love it only makes me happy. The staff are so lovely to get to know and a joy to surround yourself with on a daily basis and what more can you wish for your children. More than just a nursery/childcare provider for me. An extended family providing a journey to start and grow your child’s life and development. One of my reasons to have another child!

July 15, 2021 at 12:00 amI’ve always been a little skeptical about putting my children into nursery, I just felt they were safer and better off at home. However, life changed (building works) and lockdown happened and I soon felt I wasn’t doing right by them. Being distracted dealing with builders and with them not being allowed to do much of the stuff they did before lockdown. A friend recommended Little Pines, so I called and went for a visit. I knew from the moment I met the manager my boys were in safe hands. She’s calm and assertive and has clearly been doing it for years. The rest of the team are just a delight! Not to mention very very patient (what is it they say about the second born?). It melts me when they go running in shouting “BYE MUMMY!” And just confirms how much fun they have. Both boy’s speech has come on leaps and bounds (22 months and 3 and a half years) and my eldest surprises me with new things he’s learnt most days. If it’s not clear already, I highly recommend Little Pines.

January 20, 2023 at 12:00 amLittle Pines has been great for our son. He loves going to nursery and every time we talk about nursery day his eyes brighten with excitement. Staff communicate well regarding my son’s day, and they maintain a close relationship with him and us in regard to his development. Little Pine truly are an amazing team. I highly recommend it. Thank you so much for everything.
