Little Imp Pre-School

Our son started just before his first birthday in the baby room and is now in the 2-3 years room. He loves it there, his confidence and skills have grown thanks to their care. Any feedback is taken on board and we've been impressed with all of the lovely staff.

My son has been at this nursery for the last 10 months and I honestly cannot praise them enough. He has learnt so much while there, including some sign language and absolutely loves it. Over the last few months I have had to increase my hours at work and he has spent longer there, but I feel so much better knowing he is in the best hands I have seen people upset about the extra cost for materials when you get the free hours, but is that really nursery’s fault or the fault of lack of funding from the government for the 30 free hours?

After 18 months in nursery I feel I've been left no choice but to find an alternative provider.This is due to the owners complicated and misleading consumables charge which equates to over £1100 pounds a year for a 30 hour a week free hour placement. (You also provide nappies / wipes / and a packed lunch on top of this fee) Please ensure you request in writing,what these charges will be and what they actually cover as for example one of the things I was told the consumable was for was music / movement I thought it was free to move.Many other providers DO NOT charge anything. I have found that the facilities / toys at the nursery are not the best and the activities that are available for children aren’t full of choice. I also want to add that the reason I have kept my child there for so long is because the staff are the heart of that business, the staff in my sons room ( J & E) and office staff (J & T) genuinely have and do care about your child and have made such a positive difference to my boys life in the period he was there which I am so grateful, and this review holds no negative comment to the amazing staff! They can only work with what they are given by the owner.

My daughter has started here a few months ago and I can not praise them enough ! My daughter is going through an autism diagnosis and upon knowing this the staff have straight away made a huge impact and been a massive help . They are understanding and professional and have been nothing but good to me and my daughter . 10/10 !

Not run very well at all. Pulled my son out after being there a week. Charge £3.50 a day for what i was told sand water and paper? I took my own pack up food and nappies so didnt use anything of theirs. I then had a rude phone call from the owner asking me to take my Facebook post off asking for recommendations - calling me unkind and a liar! They certainly do charge you on top of getting my free government funding. Also, to add it isnt exactly full with activities you would think they have a full sand pit it’s literally a little box with sand in. They wouldnt waiver the notice period either so my son couldnt start anywhere else until it was over. Overall bad experience and wouldn’t recommend. Look below at other reviews!
