Review of

Little Years Nursery Acomb

from Ellen C (Mother of Child) published on 25 February 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our baby started at Little Years in Acomb after we removed her from her previous setting.
As a mother with disabilities and chronic health conditions, it was important for me to find a family-centred provision where integrity, understanding, and collaboration were key values.
Initially sceptical
due to past experiences, I was reassured when my baby bonded immediately with her keyworker. Seeing her reach out for a hug at their first meeting put my mind at rest.
Since then, she has continued to thrive and comes home happy, wriggling and giggling. The manager is friendly, non-judgemental, and is a credit to the nursery.
Little Years is a wonderful setting, and though no nursery is perfect, they take accountability and remedy any issues promptly. This builds trust, positive relationships, and a sense of belonging.
I would recommend Little Years and look forward to my baby staying with them until she transitions to primary school. Thank you to the team for everything you do for us.

Little Years Nursery @ Helmsley

from A H (Mother of Child) published on 17 February 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My child has been coming to Little Years Helmsley Nursery since he was 6 months old. He will be 3 in March. There's been a few different changes in staff along the way, as there are in many working environments.
However, he has always been happy with each member of staff and I've always been confident
in leaving him with them.
We're both particularly confident and extremely comfortable with the team which we have at the moment. I can leave him knowing 100% that he will be very well looked after. Whether it's with exciting and fun activities or love and cuddles if needed. The team do seem to understand he's needs likes /dislikes, which is very comforting to see.
Its fun to hear from both my son and the team about the relationship which they have.
Thank you to the team for all you do with him.

Little Years Nursery Acomb

from Kitti K (Mother of Child) published on 17 September 2024
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Little Years has been a haven for my child with special needs. Being turned away elsewhere due to his gastrostomy feedings, they embraced my son with open arms, offering empathy for our journey and excitement for his inclusion. The settling process, with its challenges like vomiting when upset, took
over two months, but the staff's unwavering support and positive attitude made all the difference. I never once felt judged, only encouraged by their big smiles and willingness to try again each day. I feel safe leaving him in their caring hands, knowing he's nurtured wholly. The nursery is clean, and the food is so fantastic that my child with severe food aversion has even started eating by mouth! As an anxious mum with past negative experiences, I initially struggled to trust any nursery setting. However, Little Years' dedication and understanding helped me gradually build that trust. They were also patient with my endless questions. I wholeheartedly recommend Little Years.

Little Years Nursery is such a lovely nursery, my daughter thoroughly enjoys her time there and is always happy to go! I love how the nursery is smaller in comparison to others as it has more of a homely environment and the children don’t get overwhelmed. The staff are lovely and I know my daughter
has bonded well with them, you can tell that they genuinely care about them and really want to help them learn as they always have different activities for them and I always look forward to hearing what they have done in the day! My daughter goes one full day a week and has all her food there, the food timetable has so much variety which is brilliant because some things she won’t have a chance to eat at home. Overall, a fantastic environment and can’t praise the staff enough for what they do.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My child has been attending the nursery since April 2023, he was given plenty of time to settle in when he first started and the staff took the time to get to know him well. Almost a year later he is happy to go in, knows his caregivers well and comes home with a smile. The nursery offers a range of
activities both within the nursery and in the local community. There is variety in the meals offered and he never comes home hungry! The nursery is small which creates a homely atmosphere. The children are looked after but also learn the importance of looking after each other too. I feel that the staff know my little boy and have a genuine affection for him and him for them. The nursery environment is always been worked upon and the improvements are evident from opening last year.

My grandson has recently started Little Years Nursery. It is normal to be apprehensive when a 2-year-old starts nursery but in our case, our grandson has significant additional needs. The manager has embraced the challenges of caring for our grandson and now, after only a few weeks, we are much less
anxious as we leave the nursery! The manager has already completed training on caring for our grandson’s peg feed, including the ability to give him his medication safely. Overall, the nursery is extremely friendly and accommodating and we feel that my daughter made the right decision when choosing this nursery for our very special little grandson.

Mr daughter has been going to this nursery for a number of months now and thoroughly enjoys herself every day. She has fun, but always learns new things every day. She’s made some great friends with the other children along with great bonds with some of the teachers there. She’s proud as punch to bring
paintings and artwork home to show us and enjoys explaining her days. Great team, very well run and managed. Thanks LYN KMS.

My son joined Little Years Nursery in Acomb in February 2024 and we are extremely happy with the service. My son is calm and happy at drop-off and pick-up times; he enjoys the food and the activities provided and all adults seem super sweet with him and other children. What I like the most about Little
Years is the chilled environment. It's peaceful, clean and a great place to play and learn.

Fantastic staff who go the extra mile to give both parents and child(ren) the best experience.
The facilities are fantastic, and the environment always seems relaxed and positive.
My little boy struggled to settle at first, but it wasn’t long before he felt comfortable. Great communication and regular
review of his settling-in phase.

Little Years has been incredibly accommodating of our little one and our schedule. She loves going to nursery, and you can tell she always has a good time as she comes home smiling and never makes a fuss when she's dropped off.
I love the updates we get about her during the day, and the team is always
willing to listen to any concerns we have no matter how big or small. I'm so thankful for everything they do and the safe environment they provide for our baby to thrive.

An absolutely amazing nursery with such wonderful staff. My son has attended this nursery for over a year and has come on so well. My son was nonverbal when he first started but now has a wide vocabulary and is able to hold conversations thanks to his key worker and the other staff. My son loves going
to nursery and asks to go even on his days at home, he has made lovely friends and always has lots to tell us at home about what he has been doing.

My son absolutely loves going to nursery and looks forward to going every week. The staff are very reassuring and friendly and carry out a wide range of activities for the children to do. The meals are exceptional and always have a healthy homemade main meal with snacks too. My son has formed a lovely
bond with the staff especially 1 or 2 in particular and has made a few friends which really puts my mind at ease when dropping him off before going to work for the day.

My little girl has been attending Little Years since Jan 2023.
The staff are fantastic, she comes home each time telling me all about what they have been doing and especially what she has had for dinner!
They do such varied activities and get involved in the local community.
A lovely nursery run
by a team that care for each child individually.

Our daughter has SEN and we had a very long search to find the right place for her to go. She was welcomed with open arms into the burrow (acomb little years) and seems to be thriving here. We haven't seen her so happy to go anywhere so this is amazing. The staff and other children have all made this
an amazing process for us and her and the care is above outstanding I would definitely recommend the nursery to other families.
