We and our daughter love all the staff at Minibugs Nurseries Ltd Ovenden, they are so kind, warm, loving and professional. My daughter loves being there. English is her second language and I can see that her every step in communicating and overcoming barriers brings them so much happiness and pride. In addition, our daughter is very shy and I appreciate how much time they devote to helping her learn the language, how much patience they have and that they don't put pressure on her. Every day she talks about the delicious food, the fantastic experience of sand, painting, body painting, playing in the garden etc. She is very happy, and so are we too. I definitely recommend Minibugs Ovenden.

The girls there have always been super friendly and helpful, the handovers are my fave that's when I get an idea of what's been going on in the day. Sometimes we don't get as detailed ones from some of the girls, but that's fine as there are so many kids under their watch, the key worker for my child goes above with her and they have such a great bond. They take notes when you ask if they could help with toilet training or anything else. They are always happy to help.

Started sending my son there since November. All the staff is lovely, my son tells me they are kind and give him hugs which warms my heart to be honest. They are super professional and understanding as well. The nursery is clean & with lots of activities. Thank you so much.

My daughter has been attending minibus Ovenden since September 2024. She was a reserved, quiet and shy child. Since attending minibus, her confidence has improved immensely. She is more sociable, knowledgeable and happy. She is excited to go to nursery and has established bonds with her peers and the staff. She has learned how to make new friendships and grow as part of a group. I can't thank the staff of minibus Ovenden enough for the care and attention they have given, and continue to give to my daughter. I could recommend this nursery enough! 5-star care, 5-star staff, 5 star establishment.

The staff at Minibugs Ovenden are professional and loving. My daughter loves them all and they show genuine care and attention to her. Leaving your child with anyone is hard at first but the staff made her so welcome and always answered our regular calls. She has now been going to daycare at Minibugs Ovenden for 17 months and she is very happy. She has learnt loads and gets to experience things she otherwise wouldn't have had the chance to if she stayed at home; painting, sand play, water play, obstacle courses, many different toy setups, sensory books, trying exotic fruits, play with lots of different children. Minibugs provide great value for money and their management administration team also helps things run super smoothly so that the nursery practitioners can focus on the children. I definitely recommend Minibugs Ovenden.

My little girl started at the nursery a year ago, I was worried she'd take time adjusting to it being a big change. She loved it from the moment she started, the staff in the baby room (and other rooms when covering) were amazing with her. She loves to attend nursery and see her friends and staff. Can't thank them enough for making her transition so comfortable for her and myself. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. It's a warm and homely environment. Can't wait to see how much more she progresses as she moves through the nursery.

I honestly don't know what I would do without the staff at Mini Bugs, my son is currently being tested for (ASD) Autism spectrum disorder and does not speak but has his own little ways of communicating, me and my partner pulled him out of another nursery due to issues on their part and honestly, I'm glad we did he goes in no issues doesn't cry doesn't create he just loves being there. He started when he was just over a year old and I had come on leaps and bounds he was kept in the baby room for a few extra weeks and slowly transitioned into the toddlers but all the staff and management are absolutely brilliant with him, he doesn't like great fuss usually but soon as he sees the girls he's so loving and you can just tell without words how much he loves being there. They are polite, professional and honestly a credit to the nursery thank you for all you do!

My son has attended the nursery for many months now. It was a slow start with him transitioning from his old nursery to Minibugs because it was a quick turnaround with his old one closing down. The staff were amazing with helping him settle in and he soon became best friends with them all. He can be a handful at times too which I think the nursery have handled well and kept me in the loop about his behaviour and development. He loves the staff and nursery and I can't fault them at all.

My little girl has been attending Minibugs since she was nine months old. She’s now two and has come on amazingly well thanks to nursery - she’s happy, super confident, intelligent and learning more and more skills every week. She takes part in a variety of activities and learning opportunities and enjoys a wide range of food too, meals inspired from all around the world as well as activities on celebrations and events from different cultures. The outside space is absolutely fantastic, with plenty to do and play with. My daughter also has certain dietary requirements (no dairy) and nursery are careful to be aware of this and have always ensured she can eat the same as everyone else by making dairy-free versions of meals. My daughter is doing incredibly well at Minibugs - she’s made lots of friends, she knows and loves all of the staff and is so excited when we pull up in the car park! The staff are amazing, the best team you could ask for.

All the girls are lovely, it's one of the best nurseries I've ever been in, all the girls are accommodating to your situation and are really flexible, the atmosphere is lovely the kids all seem happy and fueled with fun, the staff are also willing to put the extra manpower in for kids with extra needs and spend lots of time getting to know the kids one to one and what makes each and everyone happy etc.

I can not thank Minibugs enough for the time, effort and support they are giving me and my son. My son’s development has improved tenfold while being here and the staff are incredible! I love how parents are invited for parent evenings to inform of the developments within the nursery and educational structure with our children. We are well informed of what our children are getting up to during the day and the app provides pictures of activities and achievements. I am more than pleased with the meal choices that are available and with the diverse menu. Our children have the option to try lots of foods that would not necessarily be on menus at home. I especially love the school readiness program that the nursery has on offer. This has really taught my son to prepare for the transition and he now cannot wait to attend ‘big school’. I am confident that he will transition well due to the school readiness programme getting him used to the challenges he may face.

I can not fault this nursery in any way shape or form. They have been amazing with my little boy and ensuring he gets the care he needs. He loves being at the nursery and loves all the practitioners. I can’t recommend this nursery enough. You are always kept up to date with the ongoing at nursery daily and future events. They also do great family days giving parents and siblings the opportunity to come into the nursery and get to know everyone better. Lots of different facilities are available for the children to develop upon their development/learning in different ways. The management are very understanding and helpful with all circumstances if you ever need help as a parent or have general enquiries always happy to help. Amazing nursery with a fantastic team of practitioners.

Outstanding care received for my child, especially while he is having a bit of a tough time with home life. The staff are aware and keeping an eye on him. They keep me updated on his meals and how he is getting on.

The nursery looks after and teaches the children very well. My son has come on loads since being at nursery I have been told by a health visitor that he is advanced with his speech and everything else. All I can say is they are brilliant.

Amazing nursery my little girl loves it! The staff are fabulous and wouldn’t take her anywhere else. She has come on leaps and bounds since starting in September 2021. And will be very sad when she has to leave to go to school.

Minibugs Nursery is a very good establishment that has helped massively with progression of my two-year-old son. His talking has come on massively since he started towards the beginning of the year. The staff are always on hand with any questions and issues we may have and will help with guidance. My son loves this nursery and seems very happy and settles down here. 10/10 would recommend.

We absolutely love Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Ovenden). Due to shift patterns being in the mix, we really struggled to find a nursery for our little babs until we found Minibugs. From the initial phone call, the staff were flexible, supportive and welcoming. The first view was amazing; my very cuddly and clingy baby was quite happy to be left in a room of children and smiley staff that gave her so much love and attention so that I could have a proper tour around the building and learn about the exciting things happening in the nursery. The meals are fantastic and varied - I don't think there's a meal yet that my baby hasn't liked! Since being at Minibugs, my baby has grown in confidence; she's much more independent with her finger food and exploration. She's become an absolute conversationalist and will blabber away her gibberish to anyone who'll listen. Minibugs really put our babe at the centre of her care and work around her needs. Go team, Minibugs!

My son has settled in very well, the staff are great. A second choice warm meal menu for fussy eaters would be nice. Would recommend to friends and family.

My son loves Minibugs! Being born in 1st lockdown I was apprehensive about sending him to a nursery but also about him socially. He started at 18 months old (January 2022). The staff from the start were very reassuring, they answered all my questions and concerns (and continue to do so). I love their setup and especially the outdoor areas as I really believe in kids being able to run and have fun. Every other nursery were just concrete yards, but Minibugs has the meadow which I love. My son is always sad to leave. His development has flourished and he is learning a lot. Highly recommend.

My daughter started nursery here in January 2022, she has settled in really well and is really happy being here. The staff are really helpful and inform me how my daughter has done every time I collect her. I know I can approach staff should I have any concerns.
