Our child loves Little Birches, it's such a lovely nursery. The staff are wonderful and always helpful. They offer a huge choice of activities for the children every day, even messy play! The meals are home cooked and a wide range of food is offered. There is a huge outdoor space and every room has direct access to garden. The extra curricular sessions are great too, our child has done balett, Spanish, yoga. They also ask for indoor shoes for the children to change into which is another plus. Would definitely recommend!

I had a really good experience with Little birches. My daughter is really happy being there. The occasions I see her crying at the time of dropffs are very less. The staff and the management are really friendly. They made my daughter settle very quickly. What all the working parents expect from a nursery are in Little birches. Happy child and happy mum.

My daughter started at 9 months with 3 days and she is 20 months old as I am writing this review and on 4 days. We liked the location, space the nursery has to offer, cooking on site, sleeping areas (separate spacious area for cotes for little ones) and staff all made us feel at home. My daughter settled right away and loves going to the nursery. There is sooo mulch has changed I these few months as we saw the nursery going through upgrades under new owner and its really nice place to send our child to. Staff is amazing. Really accommodating. From admin to ladies who handle children. Communication is brilliant. Really appreciate all the messy and educational activities they do engage in daily channeling creativity and happy vibes through children. Menu is varied and my daughter is always well fed. Lots of outdoor space to enjoy and even woodlands that sometime they take children on adventure to helping them bond and explore. Their service is absolutely invaluable and we feel that everyone in the team is a perfect fit so if the key person for our child is not in for whatever reason and another staff member to step in, my daughter still going to have a good time and be well looked after.

My son loves going to nursery, playing with his friends and enjoys exploring the nursery surroundings. The staff are really great and make me feel comfortable and secure about leaving him in their capable hands. Overall my son loves his time there and would recommend anyone to this nursery
