Overall Experience

We are so grateful for our experience at Small People Nursery and we can't recommend it enough! We knew we had found the right setting for our children when our oldest started at Small People at 1 year old. The caring, outdoor-focused environment was exactly what we were looking for and it gave us complete

peace of mind. When it was time for our youngest, we didn't hesitate to send her at just 3 months old. From the start, Small People has been a place where they could grow, explore and thrive in such a supportive, nature-filled space. We feel that Small People set our older child up for success at school by fostering independence, social skills and a love of learning, making her transition to school easy. The food at Small People is truly outstanding. It's so reassuring to see the nursery prioritise good nutrition while introducing the children to a variety of flavours. The fact that the food is homemade with love really adds to the overall wonderful experience at Small People.

Reply from Gemma Craig, PLT Manager at Small People Ltd

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that both of your children have thrived at Small People Nursery. It's wonderful to know that our caring, outdoor-focused environment has made such a positive impact on their growth and development. We're also so happy that the homemade, nutritious meals have been a highlight. Thank you for recommending us, it means a lot.

Overall Experience

Since starting at Grosvenor House Day Nursery, we have had a very good experience. The staff in the baby room are kind, caring and do lots of lovely activities with my children. The staff are warm and friendly. I appreciate seeing familiar faces most days who are all very kind. I have been impressed

with the new management. This seems to have created a more stable environment at the nursery and I have confidence that the new manager has the best interests of the children at heart. Little things have had a great impact - such as repairing the gate and using a key fob to access the nursery. Having a receptionist as a friendly face in the morning is also appreciated.

The staff are incredibly caring, patient, and dedicated, always going above and beyond to create a nurturing environment for the children. Our little one absolutely loves attending

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at this nursery since she was 9 months old, and overall, we've had a very positive experience. She loves going and the room staff are fantastic, very caring and dedicated, building great relationships with the children. She thrives in their care, and they work hard to create a nurturing

environment. However, communication needs improvement and staff retention has been a serious issue, affecting consistency. In the preschool room, there are usually just two staff members (sometimes only one) with a large group. Adding a third staff member, even part-time, would allow smaller groups and more individual attention. We really enjoy the community days, but outings like trips to parks, which were a highlight in the past, haven't happened in over a year. The promised forest school has also not materialised even with several promises. Despite these challenges, we deeply appreciate the care the staff provides, and my daughter's happiness at nursery speaks volumes.

Reply from Jennifer OShea, Customer Experience Team Leader at Grosvenor House Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you for your thoughtful and constructive feedback! We're so happy to hear that your daughter loves attending the nursery and that the room staff have built such positive relationships with her. It's wonderful to know she thrives in the nurturing environment we've worked hard to create. We also deeply appreciate your honest comments regarding communication, staff retention and the need for more staff support in the preschool room. We understand how these factors impact the consistency of care and we're committed to addressing these concerns.

Overall Experience

My 1 Year old has been attending Grosvenor House Day Nursery & Pre-school for 5 months. We loved the nursery from our very first visit and over the last few months have come to love it even more. The staff are incredible and I have felt comfortable leaving my baby with people who care and love her too.

The food, activities and care given are exceptional.
Special mention to Tammy, Emma Lou and Ellie thank you for being the best!

Overall Experience

My daughter has been going to The Grosvenor House Day Nursery and Preschool since she was 9 months old now she is two. I felt welcome since I had my first visit to the nursery something told me that this was the right one for my daughter and time showed me that I was right. My daughter settled in so

fast and the staff did a great job making this happen. They have been so caring toward her and they are still the same. The transition from room to room was so smooth and it wasn't a problem at all for her. Again this is thanks to the staff that works there. They made her hit her milestone so early and her development in all areas is wonderful and this melts my heart. The management also is so helpful and always they help me in different situations as a working parent such as booking extra sessions; they communicate every change that happens to the nursery. The nursery it's super clean and the food is great. My daughter is going to be in this nursery until she starts school.

Small People is a great outdoor nursery that has helped my little girl flourish from her starting at 5 months old. The staff are so caring and we are viewed as a second family by my little one who gets so excited to attend every day she is in. Thanks to the nursery, she also loves lots of different

foods due to the great meals that are prepared for her daily. Would definitely recommend the setting to anyone for their little ones too.

I have now had all 3 of my children attend Small People (one of them who is now is 7), and honestly could not think of a better place or group of people to entrust my little ones to.
The care, attention, activities, setting, management, parent communication can not be faulted.
Love it!

My child has settled in well. She enjoys all of the activities she joins in with.
Communication with Small People is great, I get lots of information through the website. This includes her meals, toilet and photos throughout the day. In addition to this, we get a weekly run down of activities. There

are loads of fun activities for my child, including country theme days. She has learnt loads about numbers and the alphabet.
The fact all of this is outside is wonderful.
