My child has only been attending for 2 weeks but honestly we are so impressed by the standard of care for the children, the feedback we get and the updates through the day are fantastic! The activities are very well planned out and are great for the kids learning which I’ve noticed they take great pride in! Our minds are completely at ease and we are really excited for the journey it takes our little girl on!🫶

Lovely staff and the app system is amazing! It's updated regularly by the staff and it's good to see what your child is doing at the nursery.

Our little girl who is nearly one started here around two weeks ago. She is a very clingy, sensitive soul, however I am amazed at how well she is doing. The staff are so lovely and approachable and I believe this is what is making our little girl feel at ease. The updates we get are detailed, honest and reassuring. I look forward to getting the photos and updates when she is there. The app they use for communication is brilliant, being able to message anytime and get a response very quickly (often within 10/20 mins) is excellent. I don't doubt our baby with thrive here. Thank you to all the staff at Little Latham House!

We have felt incredibly welcomed at Latham House Nursery from the very start. The staff are always so friendly at morning drop-off, greeting us with warm smiles—it’s genuinely a pleasure to see. Our girls, aged 2.5 and 4, had previously been in a childminder setting, so I was a little nervous about the transition. However, they have settled in beautifully, and I truly believe this is thanks to the supportive and caring staff who made the transition so smooth and reassuring for our family. Thankyou to all of you. I look forward to the girls creating many lovely memories at the nursery.

Our little girl started at the beginning of this year and I cannot express how much she has absolutely adored her time here so far. She came to Little Latham House very unsure of herself, she had little to no confidence and was reluctant to try anything new. In the last 6 weeks she has become the happiest most confident little girl. She cannot wait to go to nursery every morning and often gets upset that the weekends mean she can’t see her teachers. Vicki and Nicole are just amazing, what they have done for our little girl in such a short space of time is incredible. I cannot even begin to explain how absolutely blown away we have been by this nursery, I am just so sad we don’t find it sooner. I would recommend this setting to absolutely everyone. Just incredible!

Our little guy has only been at Little Latham for 1 week but I already know we've chosen well. Ive spent the last year with my babba and it was difficult to let him go 😭 but they have made me feel secure, happy and comfortable in just 1 week. From how unbelievably organised they are to how immaculate the updates have been, I know every single thing hes up to in the day and always with a huge smile on his face.The activities are really geared towards variety and development which was important. A cuddle is always on hand if he needs it too 😊.Thankyou for making this difficult transition back to work a little easier.
