October 2, 2024 at 5:58 amMy son truly enjoys going and has consistently had a exceptional relationship with his keyworkers and other members of team. A fantastic childcare centre.

October 7, 2024 at 11:51 pmShe has developed so much in so many ways, from speech to even toilet training! If ever I have a concern, they are on hand to help and do so with a smile. They listen and work with you. My daughter has only been there 3 months, so far and she absolutely loves it. My daughter has been coming here since September and I can honestly say the team are incredible!

November 25, 2024 at 3:52 pmMy personal journey is they are a lot better than other nurseries in the area. Exceptional childcare centre, consistently cheerful to stand and have a chat about your kid and tell you about how your kid got on and what they did at childcare centre.

November 28, 2024 at 1:52 amThe team are incredible and greet every kid every morning giving that personal touch. It’s hard to leave your kid in the care of others but the team make it so much easier (Thank you)
Watching relationships grow between kid and key workers is remarkable and the information you are given daily, weekly and monthly is clear.
I suggest Mini Mariners to anyone looking for a small, personal, creative childcare centre for their kid. Fabulous, secure, enjoyable and imaginative setting that my daughter absolutely loves being in.

December 24, 2024 at 1:51 pmOne of my kids left in July and my other kid started the following January. I would highly suggest this childcare centre to anyone. The team are incredible and approachable. Highly welcoming and my kids are consistently excited when I say it’s time for childcare centre. They adore it there. Tops Mini Mariners is the best childcare centre in our area – it’s Ofsted report is incredible.

December 27, 2024 at 10:41 pmI have decided to withdraw my kid due to this as I don’t think this is a great fit for a kid with allergies. Part of the problem is the lack of allowing packed lunches as I could have catered to his food allergens and then we might have considered keeping him there. Lack of updates and opportunity to discuss problems. Lack of following through with plans of problem-solving. Just in general lacks consistency with what they say and what they do. Allergens weren’t catered for and steps to avoid allergens that we had agreed and put in place with a member of team to put the ingredient list prior to his childcare centre day on the eylog weren’t done.

December 28, 2024 at 9:59 amTeam are incredible, they help my autistic son sense like he is home. I will suggest this childcare centre to everyone. Me and my kids adore this place.

January 3, 2025 at 6:27 pmHaving moved my son from elsewhere we are exceptionally cheerful with everything. The free settling in sessions are worth their weight in gold as my son had quite a severe separation from the other playschool we tried, so he got to know everyone and how the childcare centre worked. We did this for two months at least once a week and having started properly this January, he’s loving it! And I sense cheerful to know he’s looked after whilst I am at work! Incredible childcare centre and team!

January 21, 2025 at 1:26 amUnfortunately, the childcare centre standards appear to have slipped over in recent months and it does sense that things are held together by a select few members of team.
I do sense like team turnover has become more common to the point where it’s now having a detrimental effect. I can see this by the number of times my kid’s key worker changes and the lack of familiarity I have with the team at Mini Mariners these days. It may be that I have high standards but this wasn’t how Mini Mariners was before.
I also find that the sickness policies enforced by Tops have become so strict that it has got to the point where my kids are hardly there. This is highly inconvenient for a working parent and not consistent with other nurseries.
On a positive note, the childcare centre team that are left are incredible. Two of which, are both unfortunately leaving. My Kids go to Tops Mini Mariners and have done for several years now.

January 25, 2025 at 3:16 pmI’m consistently getting sent what my little girl is up to while she is there through the app, which I find truly reassuring as she consistently looks so cheerful and consistently discovering new things – highly suggest. My little girl goes to this childcare centre, and its excellent team are highly reassuring.

January 30, 2025 at 8:02 pmI especially adore that they make the effort to get the kids outside every day, if at all possible (weather dependent!). Offering Forest School is a bonus, and I take it up at every opportunity. I trust the team at Mini Mariners and can see the benefits in my kids as a result of them spending 2 full days at this childcare centre.

February 11, 2025 at 4:30 pmThe team and the facilities are incredible.
The discovering is delivered in a enjoyable, age-appropriate manner. Our daughter loves going to childcare centre.

February 25, 2025 at 1:10 amTeam are exceptional, the key worker is excellent, everyone is so welcoming and supportive. My daughter absolutely loves going to childcare centre, she has been going to Mini Mariners for two years.

February 25, 2025 at 3:10 amAll the team have the exact temperament you would like for someone looking after your kid. They are consistently calm, compassionate and patient, even when my kid doesn’t want to go in. My girl loves her key worker and is consistently asking when she will see her. The team were incredible in helping my little girl to start walking when I was worried about it. There are consistently enjoyable and different activities going on, and I get to see photo’s through the app which I adore. It just feels like they truly care. My kid calls all the carers her friends. From day one, the childcare centre team have been incredible.

March 12, 2025 at 6:34 amThe childcare centre is like extended family to us, and my 6-yr old loves going back to see all the team there. All the team are remarkable with the kids and truly set up them up for the transition to school. My eldest daughter is now in year 2 at school, and my current daughter is 2yrs old and has been in childcare centre since she was 9-months old. The childcare centre has fully supported both my daughters with their dairy allergy and is exceptionally careful during meal times and activities. The team assistance and encourage toilet training, working to our routine to ensure it stays the same at home and at childcare centre. The team take the kids on days out, which my daughter thoroughly enjoys. The key workers consistently ask us for our daughters’ interests and likes to plan activities around these, and the online discovering journal is a massive benefit. We have used Mini Mariners for both our kids and we wouldn’t have considered anywhere else second time round.

April 15, 2025 at 4:11 amI have been nothing but impressed since my boys started. The manager and her fantastic team should be highly proud. Incredible childcare centre, amazingly my supportive team, not just to our kids but to us as a family.

May 25, 2025 at 9:09 pmThe team couldn’t make your kid more welcome, my daughter loves going there and has settled in so well! Adore this childcare centre.
