View Full Details of Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (St Austell)Losing stars sadly. The issue of space not dealt with. Car park space for pick up at 12.30pm is a nightmare,. Won't keep strollers in 2s room & foyer in 2s room is so tiny for parents to wait. The unit next door should make these extra spaces, maybe they themselves should relocate which gives nursery that additional space. The status quo is not viable, must not be ignored any longer as it will put off future parents sending their children there. Its a shame as all staff & chef are amazing and my children love going there. But please can all afternoon staff in 3s have a proper plan for children using 'bathroom'. I thought the issue with my daughter got better but gone backwards & when query it, some staff, not all, answer back in a way that gives impression of 'that's the way it is' or 'its not the end of the world if not dry all day' & makes me feel bad for asking which shouldn't happen. Not too much to ask for to double down on making sure my child is dry all day.
My daughter absolutely loves Minibugs. She has made so many friends, including the carers as she speaks about them like they are her friends too! She comes home so excited to tell us about her day, playing outside, reading books, drawing and making, imaginary play and songs they have sung! She comes home and imitates things like "bucket time" that they do there. Any issues we may have had are always dealt with quickly and professionally. We really get the sense the staff genuinely care about our little girls well-being and the huge presence that she has there. Handovers are always detailed and positive. I cannot wait for my baby to start there later this year!
My daughter has been attending minibugs since she was 2, she will be turning 4 this year and is in the pre-school room. The change that we have noticed in her is wonderful and we truly have the staff to thank for that. She has become confident, more imaginative and she speaks so fondly of her time at minibugs. I feel so confident in her being there 3 days a week because I just know how much fun she is having. They also encourage her to eat foods that she often will not entertain at home and over the last 6 months she has been enjoying more of a variety of healthier foods both in nursery and at home and again we really do have minibugs to thank for this! I will recommend this nursery 1000%
My son has been at mini bugs for the last two years and he absolutely loves it. He is a fussy eater and the staff are going above and beyond to make sure he eats something and encourage him to explore other foods. The activities are so varied and every day my son has been he has always had a smile on his face. The ladies are so supportive and really do care and take the time to update you on daily activities and with what's coming up. I would 100% recommend this nursery.
My son has not long started and I have been very happy with how well he's doing. They have helped a lot to settle him. They have been so supportive of his speech and the difficulties he's going threw. The staff are lovely and the senco worker has been amazing too. I'm so glad I chose this nursery for my son's journey.
My son has come on in leaps and bounds since starting here, happily eating his food now and enjoying new toys and making friends the staff are amazing in the baby room always giving you a handover and always praising the children.
My son joined the nursery in September. He loves it. The staff are very calm and welcoming. Always smiley and make my son feel very relaxed. He was very nervous about starting a new nursery with new children but it's like he's been there for years now.
All staff are absolutely amazing they are all so welcoming not only to the children who are attending but to the parents as well. All the staff are so understanding and patient and take the time to listen to not only your child but to you as a parent.
My daughter started at Minibugs in January 2025 and has blossomed, she loves the time she has there and is getting so confident. The staff there are so welcoming, would recommend Minibugs to others, can not wait to see how she progresses with them.
My little one loves nursery days. She is always excited to get in and play. Her days are jam-packed with fun activities and she always has a great day. The staff are friendly and caring. I always leave feeling at ease that she will be happy and well looked after.
My child has been attending Minubugs since she was 9 months old. She has enjoyed each room, had brilliant transitions and is now in the SR room. The staff are approachable and come up with amazing activities. My little one loves coming to nursery, especially getting involved in messy activites. It's been brilliant for my little one to explore, learn and build relationships with other children and adults.
Minibugs St Austell is a fantastic nursery and did wonders for my little boy's confidence who is now in school. My daughter is now also at Minibugs and loves it, the ladies are so great with her and she enjoys going in. Would highly recommend Minibugs to anyone.
Absolutely wonderful! Variety and healthy food, lovely updates, and connections between the staff and my boy are lovely to watch progress! Communication is great and I fully trust his development and care at Minibugs is second to none!
Every time I have taken my son in and pick my son up, I have found all the staff to be friendly. They also tell me how my son's day has been which I find helpful in knowing he's had a great day. I also love the app as you get all the information about your child's day. I love seeing the pictures of my son, the activities he's done during the day, also good as a keepsake. My son has been enjoying nursery so far since he's started.
My two children attended here, sadly our house move meant we’d have to look for a new setting. Clean, well-equipped and modern setting. Staff are very friendly and welcoming towards my children, which when looking for nursery spaces I felt others lacked. My children truly flourished here, before they started I had slight concerns about some milestones they hadn’t quite hit yet, due to being children of the lockdown, but the staff are very proactive and supportive which now means they are well ahead of what is expected in their new setting. They always keep you well updated during the day using the app. They were able to accommodate for my son’s dietary needs and he was always given a good variety of foods. Massive thank you to all at Minibugs for being such a massive part of giving my children the best possible start.
They are very good and keep you posted we have raised things and they have been addressed promptly. Overall our child has always loved attending and has flourished during his time here. If your not sure meet the team.
I moved my son to this nursery as the one he was in at the time was not suitable for him as he had a broken leg and could not get around. I was recommended this nursery by a few people and can not recommend it enough. Not had one problem since moving him here.
I honestly cannot fault this nursery. My son has been going here for 2 years and even though he is non-verbal they have gone above and beyond to support my son and me. I find that their communication is great and I feel so comfortable that he is going to have a great day and be safe every time he goes.
Both of my boys love going to nursery, they walk straight in or jump up for cuddles off the staff. They are developing all the time and learning new things, there is a great emphasis on the learning and crafting being current (Valentines, St. Pirans Day, Christmas, Mother's Day etc)
My son has been going to Mini Bugs St Austell since he was nine months old and he absolutely loves it. His progress in development since joining has come on so much which is brilliant to see. The staff are brilliant, they keep me well updated throughout the day and on collection. Really can't praise them enough and would highly recommend them to anyone.
