"When your 20 month old daughter waits at the front door in the morning with her coat & shoes, you know you have been lucky enough to find the perfect childcare solution. The care & attention provided by Karen and her team is outstanding & makes Littluns a wonderful home away from home for Hannah. Karen & the girls have huge amounts of energy & enthusiasm which means all the children have a wonderful time. Hannah has been extremely happy from day one and can't wait to wave bye bye & rush off to play each morning. Seeing how Hannah is at Littluns and how she has thrived since starting in April 2008 confirms that Littluns is a special place and not just somewhere she has to go to allow us to work. If you're lucky enough that they have a space for your little one - grab it with both hands!"  Richard & Helen - Hannah's Parents.

"Littluns was recommended to us by a close friend who's little boy attended. She couldn't praise it enough & when we started our search for childcare for Emma, she took us straight here! Having visited a few nurseries I couldn't imagine leaving Emma at any of them. Our first impression of Littluns was fantastic - spotless big bright rooms full of beautiful toys (plus a closet full of additional ones) with a separate dining room, miniscule toilet for the little ones & a spacious garden with lots of outside play toys. A group of very happy children were playing in the garden & being looked after by warm & caring staff - we immediately decided this was the right place for Emma! The setting is amazing, Karen & the girls really care about each child individually, the children are not merely babysat & there are age appropriate curriculum's in place. There are supervised activities that take place daily - music, singing, arts, crafts & the carers put a lot of effort into preparing these. The small numbers of children ensure they receive a lot of personal attention together with nutritious, tasty, home cooked meals (Emma eats better here than at home!) Our Daughter is truly happy at Littluns & adores everyone there. Each morning she can't wait to go to nursery, see her friends & have fun - at the weekends she seems disappointed not to be going! Karen puts in a lot of effort arranging extra activities such as charity events, trips to panto, parties & children's performances as well as mums nights out & monthly newsletters. All of these make this place so very special."  Liliana & Charles - Emma's Parents

 "We consider ourselves very lucky to have found such excellent childcare facilities for our little one & are amazed that we found somewhere where the children are treated as individuals thus accomodating sleep routines, eating habits etc to ensure a smooth settling in. The small numbers of children together with the staff create a loving family like environment, with all the staff getting to know your child's preferences and habits. When you go to collect your child and the girls are bubbling with excitement to tell you the funny things they've been up to, you know they have developed a genuine affection for each child they look after. The facilities are homely, spotlessly clean & provide a huge range of toys, puzzles & books as well as activities such as creative & messy play, circle time & singing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Littluns to a parent looking for a warm loving homely setting for their childcare needs." Sarah & Oliver - Leo's Parents.

"As new parents, we were confused & bewildered by childcare options (& lack of) available to us. We feel so very lucky to have found Littluns which has more than fulfilled our expectations. Max was 7 months when I returned to work & Karen made a stressful & anxious time so much easier with regular communication about his progress. It was clear from the very start that he gets so much out of his time here. The girls are great & its obvious that they love what they do - a real difference from other nurseries we visited! They take a genuine interest in Max's development & helped with weaning & introduction of finger foods. Karen has created a real family feel to the setting & we have been made very welcome. The 'Mum's Nights Out' are a lovely touch & all the extra details over the christmas period really made our first family christmas even more special. Littluns is a very professional childcare setting but what sets it apart is the warm atmosphere Karen & the team create. Its home from home for us and we know Max is receiving the highest standards of care."  Brian & Sophie - Max's Parents.

" I returned to work when Izzy was 5 and a half months old, 18 months ago, and we have not looked back. Littluns was our first (and only) nursery we looked at. We knew instantly it was the right one for our daughter. It is totally unique, providing reliable childcare in a lovely homelike nursery setting. From day one Karen's attitude was caring, loving and supportive (to both us and Izzy). She worked with us to maintain Izzy's sleep routine, adjust from breast to bottle feeding and later to wean. Littluns is now Izzy's second home. When we pull into the drive she starts cheering and we have never had any tears leaving her. She loves all the team and they really bring out the best in her. The range of activities and events on offer never ceases to amaze me. Karen and the team have endless energy organising sponsored toddles, a christmas nativity play, pantomime visit, halloween party, harvest festival event, red nose day cake bake - the list goes on. We are lucky that we can go to work with the peace of mind that Izzy will be well cared for. Littluns has become an extension of our family and we cannot recommend it highly enough". Nick & Sharon - Izzy's Parents.                                           

"My husband and I shortlisted a few nurseries for our first born, Imanee. Upon visiting Littluns, we both made knew instantly - this was where we wanted our daughter to be. The whole setting is filled with warmth, is clean, bright & very spacious and it's clear that the whole team at Littluns care greatly for the children in their care. Imanee settled in after only 2 days; 15 months on, she can't wait to run through the doors and play with her friends. There are so many activities - painting, singing, dressing up, soft play equipment & she has made wonderful gifts for mummy & daddy! We are so happy to have found Karen & the girls and are very appreciative of all the care and attention Imanee has received since she started. Thanks to all at Littluns!" Joe & Dimple - Imanee's Parents

 "Littluns Day Care is wonderful!! Many years ago I faced the prospect of returning to work & seeking childcare for Liam who was just 9 months old, it was a necessity I wasn't looking forward to but I needn't have worried. The whole team are knowledgeable, professional & really do genuinely care about the children! Littluns is an extension of our home & they are always there to offer help & support with all aspects of 'growing up' from potty training to teaching children nice manners & behaviour. Liam is now at big school but happily returns during the school holidays and my second son Joseph, 21 months has been in attendance since he too was 9 months old. We are so happy that we found Littluns all those years ago. Each week is filled with singing, storytime, learning & messy play & very importantly, building relationships with other children. Each child is treated individually enabling their confidence to grow - friends often comment how sociable they are with others. The Daily Care Sheets are invaluable and give a detailed account of their day at Littluns which allows us not to feel we're missing out too much on the new things they have learnt. There is no other setting that comes remotely close to what is being offered at Littluns. Thank you so much for giving both Liam & Joseph the best possible starts." Jennie & Brian - Liam & Joseph's Parents.

 "We would never have heard of Littluns if it were not for a friend of ours who lives nearby & who's daughter attends. It really is a hidden gem! The setting is bright, airy, clean & a very happy environment for any child. Before we started, like any new parents, we were worried about food, sleeping, Alicia's routines, likes & dislikes etc., but everyone at Littluns have been great in meeting the needs of our little girl & continually adapting to her ever changing needs. The whole team play an important part in enforcing some of the things we would like Alicia to learn - at the end of each day we see a happy toddler, learning so many beautiful things & embracing play with her friends. Alicia loves being at Littluns!!  Marcin & Preeya - Alicia's Parents.

 

"Littluns is an extended family to us. Our 18month old son starts saying goodbye as we pull up on the drive & he toddles in to his friends genuinely happy to see them. Karen & the whole team are caring & kind & go the extra mile to support us in any way they can. There is always a warm welcome & transparency about the place that ensures a safe, happy & caring environment for all the children. Most of all, there is a sense of fun - from the staff to the range of toys & activities the children do. Whenever I arrive, at drop off or pick up, I hear laughter & the individual feedback we get about our son is always detailed, sensitive and humourous. Nanny Mags makes delicious healthy food & together with the social events it's as good for the parents as it is for children. Returning to work has been made so much easier knowing our son is in the very best of hands."   Clare & Martin - Finlay's Parents.
