Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (St Austell)

The nursery is great, my kids love going and the staff are amazing. The staff are very helpful and always happy to answer any questions you have. They support the parents and will happily work with parents. They can play outside when they want it is an open room where the children can flow between different areas.

My little minibug has been a member since June 2019.

Over the last 12 months, the nursery has been great at adapting to the changes that covid has presented, they have continued to keep parents updated, provide accurate details and offer practical advice.

As my minibug has entered the school readiness programme she has loved all of the activities, the school readiness staff have kept the parent app updated with the activity types and the little one has loved bringing activities home to further her learning.

The new manager has been a great addition to the Minibugs team and taken to the mangers role covering all aspects you would expect.

It has been great being able to get back into the nursery recently and see the children and staff interact and bring back that connection with the key workers.

My son joined Minibugs in July of 2020 due to Covid delaying his start in the April. From day one, they have been amazing. My little boy at the time was showing signs of being non-verbal and having sensory problems believed to be autism. They allowed him to start in the July when restrictions should have had him starting in the September. They have been amazing in helping me get the help and support I needed to get him a diagnosis as well as getting his support workers on board and doing what was needed, from his SALT worker to Senco to even the paediatrician. They have done wonders in getting him a much needed EHCP, which we are still in the process of doing, but without their help, I wouldn’t be as far along with it as I am. They are amazing with him, but especially two members of staff in the room. They are great with using visuals to help him communicate in his own little way. My daughter also started in January of this year, and she has had an amazing start to nursery life.

Minibugs is a fantastic nursery! My son has been going there since he was 10-months-old, and now as a 2.5-year-old. We have noticed such a huge boost in his confidence. He’s come on so quickly in his speech and is always repeating things he’s learnt that day. The staff and management are all lovely. Can’t recommend minibugs enough!

My little boy started at the nursery almost a year ago and absolutely loves it and has developed amazingly, same as my eldest daughter, who attended when the nursery first opened until she left for school she’s now eight and remembers her time there, and our youngest will start this year too. This nursery is absolutely amazing at enabling the children to develop their full potential and thrive.

Since joining the nursery last month my daughter has come on so much and we can’t praise the nursery enough for getting her to where she is now, she is thriving and loves the nursery. She has become such a happy little girl who just loves to make friends and is thriving with her toilet training too.

My daughter always arrives at nursery happy and is happy when I collect her, which says a lot. I enjoy getting updates each day of what she’s been eating, nappy changes and activities although I feel these aren’t always consistent and some get missed. What she’s eating is particularly important to us currently while we are weaning. The girls are very friendly and approachable and clearly take good care of all of the children in their care. I love that they merge the baby room and 2s room so that different ages can mix together. The activities are mixed and varied and often things I don’t do at home. Overall I’m very glad we picked Minibugs.

My son has been going to Mini Bugs St Austell since he was nine months old and he absolutely loves it. His progress in development since joining has come on so much which is brilliant to see. The staff are brilliant, they keep me well updated throughout the day and on collection. Really can’t praise them enough and would highly recommend them to anyone.

I honestly cannot fault this nursery. My son has been going here for 2 years and even though he is non-verbal they have gone above and beyond to support my son and me. I find that their communication is great and I feel so comfortable that he is going to have a great day and be safe every time he goes.

I moved my son to this nursery as the one he was in at the time was not suitable for him as he had a broken leg and could not get around. I was recommended this nursery by a few people and can not recommend it enough. Not had one problem since moving him here.
