The Little Den Day Nursery - Basford

My daughter has been going to Little Den Day nursery in Basford since she was 10 months old. As a nervous first time Mum, I wanted to make sure I’d chosen the right place for my baby. The manager gave us a tour and I immediately felt at ease with the environment, it was full of inviting play ideas, lots of natural wooden toys and an amazing outdoor play area that ensures the smaller babies are safe but the older children have space to play together too. My daughter got more comfortable with each taster session and the staff were amazing. Each of their skills are matched to the rooms they are looking after which enables the children to form bonds with them like a little family in themselves. She’s now almost two and runs into nursery, she loves it so much. We use an app to see pictures and updates from the nursery which lets me see what my daughter has had to eat etc throughout the day. I really couldn’t recommend this nursery enough,. The manager puts her heart and soul into it and it shows!

The Little Den is such a good nursery, my daughter loves it and I love taking her there. They regularly update you on their parents’ app which I love as it keeps me at ease, and no matter what time in the day I walk in to collect my child, I always see each room doing fun, yet educational activities. My daughter gets excited as we get to the nursery and puts her arms out to her key worker when she collects her in the morning. The manager and her staff are doing such a good job I couldn’t be happier with sending my daughter to this nursery.

The Little Den is such an amazing setting – it’s home from home. The staff are very dedicated and it shows, my little one has been attending The Little Den since February 2021. My little one has come on in leaps and absolutely loves going to nursery. The girls always go above and beyond for the child and always have fun activities planned. The food is very nutritious and the menu is very varied. We are extremely lucky to have found such a fantastic nursery.

Great nursery, overall.
Staff are informative, friendly and efficient.
The nursery is homely and exactly what my child needed. If you have any worries, straight away, they are addressed.
Amazing nursery with lovely, friendly, warming staff, and I could not recommend it more.
My child has come on so much and has been attending since October 2021.

Currently, our twin sons attend the Little Den in Basford; our elder daughter was a member of the initial group when the nursery first opened. We have been really pleased with our experience with the team throughout all of the children’s time there. It has been a pleasure to see each child progress and develop with the expert assistance of the dedicated, professional, and knowledgeable staff. Regular feedback is provided throughout each day the child attends, and any milestones are immediately reported, as are any concerns. The facilities are excellent and well-maintained and are constantly being upgraded to create an ideal environment for learning. Activities are engaging, well thought out and tailored to each individual. All staff are caring and approachable, so we have never had any cause for worry at any point. Our daughter was sad to leave but really well prepared to start school. We definitely recommend the Little Den.

I have twins in the Little Den Nursery and I love that they love it. They love the staff and have such a good time. The staff keep me informed of everything and I wouldn’t trust them to go anywhere else. My son also recently left this nursery to go to school and he still says he misses going there!

Our baby girl has attended this nursery since she turned seven months old (currently 14 months) and she absolutely loves it! She has progressed massively in every development area since starting at The Little Den and the team have helped her little personality to shine through as she becomes the ever growing cheeky and clever little girl that we all love. We have developed lovely relationships with the nursery staff, especially those in the baby room who look after our little girl and put our full trust into leaving her in their care whilst we work. They are extremely attentive and ensure to update us as much as possibly throughout the day to ease our minds and to also address any issues that may arise within the nursery such as illnesses. We have already spoken about how much we dread the day that she leaves for school in a few years time as we absolutely adore this nursery and the team!

Since starting nursery, my child has progressed hugely in many areas. My child loves coming to The Little Den and has a good relationship with the staff, who have worked alongside her. The activities you post are always themed and relevant to the time of year or what is going on in the world. Communication is also excellent through the parent app. Thanks for your hard work, day in and day out.

The staff go above and beyond, especially the ladies in the bear’s room who have supported and been so wonderful with both my daughters. It’s very difficult to find a decent nursery these days but thank you because I have never for one second been worried about them in your supervision. They have loved coming in every single day.
