Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Ovenden)

Staff are very friendly and very welcoming. My child loves going. Little slow at opening the door but when they do still very welcoming for my child to go straight in. My child has made some lovely friends and is very close to a couple of the staff there. One happy child = happy mummy.

They were great with my little girl when she started and I haven’t had one bad day from my little girl, she loves going to Minibugs and has grown so much. They are very professional and are great with the children. I would highly recommend this nursery, they’re great.

My son loves this nursery and really enjoys going there. I find all the staff really polite and caring toward us. Also, I hoping for his little brother to join Minibugs soon too.

I was extremely nervous about my children starting nursery, like any parent would be, but when I visit I was instantly at ease with every single member of staff I met. It’s extremely clean with fantastic equipment to stimulate all ages. My children, daughter 8 months and son 3 years old settled instantly with no issues. Now they are there 3 days a week, communication is amazing and in 3 days my children have already started forming bonds with the staff. I am so happy that my children are happy. The variety of food is impressive and I am just so happy all-round. My only regret is not putting my 3-year-old in this nursery sooner as I have always been too anxious to put him into a nursery, so I have struggled to work from home whilst looking after him. Honestly, if you are looking for a nursery to put your child in, you need to go take a look for yourself. Thank you everyone at Minibugs Nurseries Ltd, but the member of staff who has been my main point of contact from our first visit is an amazing lady. Amazing team.

My son loves Minibugs! Being born in 1st lockdown I was apprehensive about sending him to a nursery but also about him socially. He started at 18 months old (January 2022). The staff from the start were very reassuring, they answered all my questions and concerns (and continue to do so). I love their setup and especially the outdoor areas as I really believe in kids being able to run and have fun. Every other nursery were just concrete yards, but Minibugs has the meadow which I love. My son is always sad to leave. His development has flourished and he is learning a lot. Highly recommend.

We absolutely love Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Ovenden). Due to shift patterns being in the mix, we really struggled to find a nursery for our little babs until we found Minibugs. From the initial phone call, the staff were flexible, supportive and welcoming. The first view was amazing; my very cuddly and clingy baby was quite happy to be left in a room of children and smiley staff that gave her so much love and attention so that I could have a proper tour around the building and learn about the exciting things happening in the nursery. The meals are fantastic and varied – I don’t think there’s a meal yet that my baby hasn’t liked! Since being at Minibugs, my baby has grown in confidence; she’s much more independent with her finger food and exploration. She’s become an absolute conversationalist and will blabber away her gibberish to anyone who’ll listen. Minibugs really put our babe at the centre of her care and work around her needs. Go team, Minibugs!

My little girl has been attending Minibugs since she was nine months old. She’s now two and has come on amazingly well thanks to nursery – she’s happy, super confident, intelligent and learning more and more skills every week. She takes part in a variety of activities and learning opportunities and enjoys a wide range of food too, meals inspired from all around the world as well as activities on celebrations and events from different cultures. The outside space is absolutely fantastic, with plenty to do and play with.
My daughter also has certain dietary requirements (no dairy) and nursery are careful to be aware of this and have always ensured she can eat the same as everyone else by making dairy-free versions of meals.
My daughter is doing incredibly well at Minibugs – she’s made lots of friends, she knows and loves all of the staff and is so excited when we pull up in the car park! The staff are amazing, the best team you could ask for.

I can not thank Minibugs enough for the time, effort and support they are giving me and my son.
My son’s development has improved tenfold while being here and the staff are incredible!
I love how parents are invited for parent evenings to inform of the developments within the nursery and educational structure with our children.
We are well informed of what our children are getting up to during the day and the app provides pictures of activities and achievements.
I am more than pleased with the meal choices that are available and with the diverse menu. Our children have the option to try lots of foods that would not necessarily be on menus at home.
I especially love the school readiness program that the nursery has on offer. This has really taught my son to prepare for the transition and he now cannot wait to attend ‘big school’. I am confident that he will transition well due to the school readiness programme getting him used to the challenges he may face.

Outstanding care received for my child, especially while he is having a bit of a tough time with home life. The staff are aware and keeping an eye on him. They keep me updated on his meals and how he is getting on.

Amazing nursery my little girl loves it! The staff are fabulous and wouldn’t take her anywhere else. She has come on leaps and bounds since starting in September 2021. And will be very sad when she has to leave to go to school.
