My son has attended Little Oaks from the moment he turned 2 and has now just left for Primary School. To say I have been impressed with Little Oaks would be an understatement. The staff are incredible; the kind of staff that you can tell actually enjoy their job, care immensely about the children and will always go above and beyond to listen to… your’s and your child’s needs. From the moment I went to view Little Oaks, I knew it was the place for my son. I didn’t know much about Montessori before I saw Little Oaks and my only knowledge was that Montessori was a little bit

My daughter loves coming to Little Oaks. The manager and staff are absolutely amazing and make each day special. I feel my daughter has learnt so much at little oaks and in such a short space of time. My… daughter is always coming home talking about her day and mentions the teachers and all the little friends that she has made. I looked at 4 different pre school in my area and within 5 minutes knew this was the pre school for my daughter it’s such a safe, warm friendly and fun environment and the outdoor play area is even more awesome. Thank you ladies for doings a wonderful job xx

Very clean and tidy the staff are extremely experienced, compassionate, loving and encouraging. They have helped my son settle in so well . He feels safe and confident and cared for. There is a structured routine at the nusery which my son demonstrates at home. He talks highly of all the staff he is always positive when he returns home. The staff… have done a great job at identifying his strenghts , likes and dislikes. They always keep us updated with his learning. 1st impression was that it was a warm , loving and safe environment for children , it was very evident when we were there by
