April 20, 2022 at 12:00 amMinibugs has been amazing with my little girl. I was nervous that she wouldn’t settle in due to covid she hadn’t had much chance to be around other people and children. However, they did a great job of settling her in and keeping me up to date with how she was getting on.

The facilities and communication is great. Minibugs is a great place for children and I would recommend to anyone. The staff are very professional and provide excellent service,

April 26, 2022 at 12:00 amMy child has settled in well since starting at Minibugs in September.
She has gained confidence and is aided in her progress.
All staff members have been very helpful, kind and approachable at all times and I always feel comfortable speaking to them.

April 26, 2022 at 12:00 amI have found Minibugs to be a fantastic nursery. My son has additional needs, which are all catered to. The staff are very attentive, obviously as a parent at first I had really bad anxiety leaving him as this was the first time I have left him in the care of anyone other than myself or family. The nursery has really taken my son under their wings. I could not be more impressed with the development and social skills he has gained in such a short period of time. And they are fed really healthy meals.

He has been really enjoying coming to nursery and all the staff here are very friendly and supportive. They are very approachable and are available when we need them. Overall, very happy with our experience in the nursery.

August 3, 2022 at 12:00 amWincobank Minibugs is my son’s current nursery (second year) and the teachers and nursery staff all are excellent at their job. Very friendly, nice people work there. Son is very happy going there. Teachers help him with his delayed speech, every day I can hear him to speak better and better. Because he
doesn´t speak and his behaviour is a bit hyperactive I needed to get a short appointment in Minibugs to know something more about my son. I got 45 minutes with my son´s key workers who answered all my questions and gave my many information about my son’s behaviour in the nursery. I am very thankful for these two years – Minibugs is for us very good choice.

August 24, 2022 at 12:00 amExcellent nursery, my son enjoys attending nursery and has made some good developments in his learning. He started nursery from baby room and now he is 3 years old and speaking alot. He is very confident now. All the staff is very friendly and pay close attention on kids. I must mention they are very good in toilet training as well. Soon my little daughter starting in baby room as well.

September 9, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son is now 3 and attending the 3-5 side of the nursery. I’m over the moon with the practice I receive, there are a lot of events parents can attend, to keep parents informed and involved in the current goings on of the nursery such as fun days, parents evenings, meet the key worker nights, Mother’s Day tea etc. This means I get regular access to his key worker and talk about any concerns I have, and how they address them. Thank you Minibugs.

February 23, 2023 at 12:00 amAbsolutely brilliant nursery with great outstanding facilities and also really friendly staff. The nursery manager is really accommodating and will go above and beyond for us. Really happy our little one has settled in so well and he really enjoys his days here. Staff document activities, updates and photos on the app which is great and gives us peace of mind throughout the day. I would definitely recommend this nursery to others thinking of sending their children here.

March 2, 2023 at 12:00 amDoes not offer flexibility for the working family. Timing sessions are structured towards the setting that paying parents cannot afford. Could not offer a flexible approach due to lack of staff and no compromise.
Security concerns in a morning, where staff are not present downstairs and babies have to be carried upstairs to be mixed with the older children. One access door outside allows anyone to walk in as a parent leaves.
App detailing the child’s day has had full records missing. Late accessing the door on the collection and dropping off times, where the collection time being logged from when the child is passed over and not when the buzzer is pressed.
Too much of the food is meat substitute based.
Finally after being left from the nursery a month ago, fully paid up and notice given. I’ve been sent another invoice for February! This has caused a lot of stress and shouldn’t have been allowed to happen! Concerns over data protection.
Better nurseries locally. Give this one a miss!

March 3, 2023 at 12:00 amAbsolutely brilliant nursery so supportive and clean. All the staff are lovely, management is perfect there isn’t anything that they won’t do.
My daughter came from a different nursery that she hated she settled in amazingly here at Minibugs she loves all the staff, always happy to go I’m more than comfortable leaving her and know she is well looked after and happy. The playroom is lovely, the outside garden is too I don’t think there is actually anything that I’m unhappy with. The meals are all freshly prepared on-site. She is always clean after her session. I’d definitely recommend Minibugs.

March 7, 2023 at 12:00 amMy grandson started Minibugs in September 2022. Since being at the nursery his development has really come on more, the staff are so friendly and polite and always have a smile when you see them, they are always there to listen to me and to my grandson. I’m so happy I chose this nursery for my grandson I would recommend it to everyone if you want your child to learn and enjoy playing. Minibugs is definitely the best nursery to go to take your child/grandchild.

April 5, 2023 at 12:00 amThe nursery has been so helpful over the last couple of months with the birth of my newborn and my eldest child’s change in behaviour. I cannot thank all the staff for all they have done and are continuing to do. They have been amazing, my child started when she was 11 months old and she has created such an amazing bond with the staff! No matter what is going on they are ready to welcome you with a smile. I am so thankful I have sent my child here and I will also be sending my second when I return to work. They all go above and beyond to communicate with parents so we don’t miss anything.
Thank you all for your hard work! It’s very much appreciated.

April 5, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending this nursery since 2021 and I must say she has settled there very well. She has additional needs and I have been amazed at how this nursery has taken its time to help her and get the help she needs.
I have now enrolled my little boy in this nursery and I have full confidence he will strive the same as my daughter. Definitely recommend this nursery to everyone!

April 13, 2023 at 12:00 amI like the Wincobank nursery.
My daughter likes to go there from the beginning.
In the beginning, she did not speak English but the nursery staff were teaching her a lot. They ask me every day how is she and if she needs special attention, they care for her.
I always get information about her day, how was she, what she has eaten, what she did etc.
I definitely recommend them.

April 24, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter started here in January, and the staff are so warm and welcoming! She’s taken time to settle, but they’ve helped her so much, and she’s thriving! She adores the girls who are alongside her daily. It’s such a lovely, clean nursery that has everything possible for the children, and also, the food they offer sounds amazing from the menus! Lots of options, and it changes week by week.
