Parent Testimonials

We are very thankful to be held in such high regard by our current and former families, but don’t just take our word for it. Here are just a few of the recent comments that we have had from parents in all three of our settings:

"I was really nervous sending my little boy to nursery as he has SEN needs and I was unfamiliar with the setting as I hadn't sent my older child there. Working in the teaching industry myself I have always been hyper-critical when it comes to choosing a setting for my children and for the families I work with. I have been overwhelmed by the care, love, and support both my son and myself have received. My son has settled into Little Wellies better than I could ever have hoped.
We are greeted at every session with a smile and a welcome greeting by all the staff. The senior leadership team has gone above and beyond to ensure my son is getting the right care put in place for his needs and I am assured every day when I see the big smile on his face when I see him.
They have a holistic approach to the childcare they give and personalise the learning for each child in the setting. My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting and I am truly grateful for all their continued hard work"

Current Parent at our Idle Nursery (December 2024)

"My little boy absolutely loves Little Wellies. After a negative start to nursery life in another nursery setting he was a little apprehensive to go. From the minute he did the look around he has fit perfectly into nursery. All the staff in his room are so lovely and caring. only the children's best interests at heart. They have a variety of different activities going on throughout the day and have day trips out to link with their learning. My son has a food intolerance and it is made very clear to the chef that he is not to have that food and it has always been carefully followed. The staff are fully trained and up to date with everything and keep parents up to date with any developments within the nursery as soon as possible. He is safe and can only be picked up by those on the approved list and with the correct password too. I honestly wish my son had been going here from the start of his nursery journey but I'm just so glad he'll finish his journey there. Highly recommend this setting."

Current Parent at our Wrose Nursery (December 2024)

"This nursery is amazing! My child was in a different one prior to this and I could not ask more from little wellies, my child comes home so happy telling me how much of a good day he has had! Brilliant staff too so friendly and caring."

Current Parent at our Wrose Nursery (December 2024)

"Fantastic nursery, my daughter is thriving. The provision is always well organised and I love seeing pictures of my little one engaging and having fun. The staff are lovely, my little one has a wonderful bond with her key workers. They always provide thorough feedback during pick-up. As a parent, it's comforting to have an overview of what their day has been like when they've been at nursery all day."

Current Parent at our Idle Nursery (December 2024)

"Our Daughter has attended Little Wellies in Idle since she was 9 months old. Watching her develop into a 16-month-old who walks, talks and interacts with people is amazing and none of it would have happened so fast without the amazing team at Little Wellies. They are very supportive and look after her so well, she knows all their names and buzzes with excitement at the mention of nursery. The staff are fantastic at communicating with me, they address any concerns and highlight my daughter's progress. I can't sing their praises highly enough."

Current Parent at our Idle Nursery (December 2024)

"Best nursery in Bradford! My little boy has been part of the Little Wellies family for almost a year and wow I couldn't be happier! The progress she has made across all social and personal skills has been nothing shy of incredible all thanks to the friendly and caring staff. Every single Little Wellies staff member who takes such great care of my little son has helped shape him into the kindest, funniest, clever boy. He's so well cared for I never have to worry, he runs into nursery every day and that truly says so much. He's so happy to be there and he has a great group of friends in his room. The activities they take part in every day help build basic developmental skills such as colour recognition, fine motor skills, reading, messy play, every activity is well thought about and well organised. All staff were extremely reassuring and listened to my anxieties about him first starting and put me at ease straight away. This massively helped me and my little boy transition."

Current Parent at our Idle Nursery (December 2024)

"We really couldn't think of anywhere else we'd rather send our child than Little Wellies. Our child loves going to nursery and is always excited to go to see his friends. The staff are really attentive to our child's needs and have helped to settle them in the big move out of the baby room into toddlers!"

Current Parent at our Idle Nursery (December 2024)

“Both of my boys have attended Little Wellies and I can confidently say it's been a fantastic experience for our family. The nursery has been part of our lives for the past seven years and it will be truly missed when our youngest moves on next summer. The staff are absolutely brilliant, caring, professional and dedicated to creating a warm and nurturing environment for the children. The variety of activities they offer is outstanding. It's clear how much effort goes into making every day enjoyable and meaningful for the children. We've watched both our boys grow and thrive during their time here and we're grateful for everything Little Wellies has done for them.”

Current Parent at our Wrose Nursery (November 2024)

“My daughter has been attending since she was 9 months old and she's almost 4 now, she has loved every single session she has attended. All workers are fantastic and always go above and beyond. It's a home-from-home feel and we're looking forward to our youngest attending in early 2025.”

Current Parent at our Baildon Setting (November 2024)

“Little Wellies is absolutely amazing, my little girl thrives so much from going, she loves it! It's such a warm, friendly environment and I believe that's one of the most important things for parents. The activities held at nursery are amazing and things you wouldn't always do at home, it gives them so much opportunity to learn different things. So happy with our choice of nursery, the return to work felt smooth knowing my little girl was being looked after by the most amazing staff who always go above and beyond. I can't recommend Little Wellies enough. They're great.”

Current Parent at our Idle Nursery (November 2024)

“All the staff know my child very well and are always so happy to see us. They are kind, hardworking and take much care and attention in looking after my child. My child enjoys his time at nursery and always has lots to say about what he has done there, the activities organised are amazing!”

Current Parent at our Baildon Nursery (November 2024)

“On viewing Little Wellies the staff were very friendly and happy to answer all questions. Since attending nursery from February 2024 our son has grown up leaps and bounds. He is very chatty and interactive.
He loves his key worker and all the staff at Little Wellies. He does great activities inside and out. He eats healthy food and helps make it. We have already filled the paperwork out to send our baby daughter there as well.”

Current Parent at our Baildon Nursery (November 2024)

“Couldn't be happier with the progress of my little one. He currently changed rooms due to his age and the transition has been great. The staff are phenomenal and my boy is more than happy at nursery. He can't wait to get there in a morning and has so many stories to tell me when we pick up. I would highly recommend Little Wellies.”

Current Parent at our Wrose Nursery (November 2024)

“My child has settled so well into nursery. 8 months on and he's loving it! He knows all the staff & he loves it! It's really a family away from home and has given me confidence to send my second child.”

Current Parent at our Wrose Nursery (November 2024)

“Little Wellies is an amazing nursery and the staff there are so lovely. My son has been attending the nursery for the last 4 months and he absolutely loves it. Everyday I get an update on what he has been up to and if I have any struggles they try their best to support me. Honestly wish I started my little boy here when returning to work instead of childminders. Cannot fault the nursery at all.”

Current Parent at our Wrose Nursery (November 2024)

“Can't fault the nursery at all! All the staff are so kind and caring and I feel safe knowing my daughter will be well taken care of, she has gained so much confidence since starting! I can't thank the staff enough!”

Current Parent at our Wrose Nursery (November 2024)

“The staff welcome my daughter in a lovely way, every morning. I feel so happy and content when
leaving her, as I know she is in safe hands. When my daughter has a few days break in between
sessions, the staff tell me how much they’ve missed her and that they’re happy to have her back in.
She is always so happy to see the staff.”

Current Parent at our Wrose Nursery (November 2024)

“We came to look around the nursery and everyone was so welcoming. I really liked the fact
that the manager of the nursery knew the names of all of the children that we saw on the way around.
The settling in sessions were perfect and my daughter loved nursery straight away.”

Current Parent at our Wrose Nursery (November 2024)

“Mia has been brilliant with my daughter, she's settled really well, the nursery is beautiful and I don't have
to feel worried when she is there as I know she is being looked after really well. Thank you so much!”

Current Parent at our Baildon Nursery (October 2024)

“My child loves all the songs and messy play. He’s learnt loads of new words and does loads of stuff we don’t do at home which he enjoys.”

Current Parent at our Baildon Nursery (October 2024)

“Staff were gentle and great at interacting with my little boy (during settling in visits). They encouraged him to play with them without pushing anything. Any questions I had, the staff were more than happy to answer and discuss. They were friendly, positive and professional.”

Current Parent at our Idle Nursery (October 2024)

“Staff are very welcoming to the children at the start of each session. Particularly in the baby room, where it is clear each child receives lots of love and attention!”

Current Parent at our Idle Nursery (October 2024)

“My child loves having opportunities to listen to music, read stories, have sensory play and messy play. Staff have been so dedicated at meeting his needs when it comes to sleep. He really fights his naps but they have been very flexible at figuring out what works for him at nursery, and patiently rock him to sleep with his bunny.”

Current Parent at our Idle Nursery (October 2024)

“We have been so happy with how our boys have settled into nursery. Staff are dedicated to meeting each child’s needs, noticing details about their day that stand out, and going out of their way to help each child in ways that are most helpful to them. We really like that updates of their days are regularly shared in the private Facebook group. We also love the fun experiences they get at Little Wellies, from going to the woods, a picnic in the park, toasting marshmallows, to playing in the sensory cabin, and lots of general messy play! Our boys are well-loved at nursery and it is so lovely to see their bonds forming with both staff and other children. All staff have been outstanding!”

Current Parent at our Idle Nursery (October 2024)

“I can’t recommend Little Wellies Day Nursery at Baildon highly enough. It’s my first experience of nursery with my firstborn and they have been wonderful. Made my return to work so easy. The staff are great and my little one loves them. It’s so reassuring to know that he enjoys going to nursery and all the activities they do but that they will contact me if needed.”

Current Parent at our Baildon Nursery (March 2024)

“Lovely place for my kids. Love the fact that parents can attend at any time and have access to the rooms. Always happy to see my kids playing, happy and carefree when I pick them up. I appreciate the folder they keep on children, activities and their development. Gives me peace of mind that they have the right care.”

Current Parent at our Idle Nursery (March 2024)

“My child is so happy arriving at nursery. He really enjoys all the activities provided and has strong bonds with the members of staff. They are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. Highly recommend!”

Current Parent at our Baildon Nursery (March 2024)

“Little Wellies Day Nursery Wrose is, without a doubt, the best nursery I’ve sent any of my children to. My daughter loves going and loves all the staff! She is very advanced for her age and I put it down to nursery. All the staff are lovely, including the management team. I cannot recommend Little Wellies enough! I’ll be sad when my daughter leaves here.”

Current Parent at our Wrose Nursery (March 2024)

“Little Wellies Day Nursery has been, and hopefully will continue to be, a lovely place for our daughter to grow in the last year. She has been in the Raindrops and Rainbows groups and her key workers and all staff are so caring and devoted and she talks about all of them. Her development is definitely positive as a result of her time here.”

Current Parent at our Baildon Nursery (March 2024)

“My son loves attending Little Wellies. The staff are always welcoming and they do a lot of varied activities. The children are regularly encouraged to play, they often do baking and bring home various art creations. I am pleased with the care he receives.”

Current Parent at our Baildon Nursery

“Little Wellies Nursery is an amazing place for children to play, learn and have fun. My two children have been going here for almost three years. They have learnt a lot and their confidence has grown massively. The staff and management are fantastic and have got to know my children very well. My children used to be very shy and would often get very upset leaving their parents (us) but the nursery has ensured they are welcomed each time they arrive and made them feel at ease. I especially like the outdoor facilities and the fact they get fresh air every day. The nursery are always exploring options to continuously improve in both facilities and learning, even taking the children on outdoor trips which my children have been very excited about. I would highly recommend this nursery to others and have full confidence in the staff and care of my children here.”

Current Parent at our Idle Nursery (March 2024)

“Little Wellies Day Nursery is an amazing nursery. Since my daughter started there a year ago, she has developed so much. The staff always go the extra mile for you and children are always happy. I always get a full handover when I collect my child and the staff are so approachable if I have any concerns. I know my little girl will miss nursery when she leaves in September but I would highly recommend this nursery to friends and family as it is the best, in my opinion.”

Current Parent at our Idle Nursery (March 2024)

“My little boy started in January and for months, I was so anxious about him starting. I felt like I was doing the wrong thing by him being so young, felt guilty and really worried whether he’d be okay while there. After his first settling-in session, I knew I’d picked the right nursery. I wanted somewhere that looked after their kids just like their own and I can, hand on heart, say that each staff member, that has worked closely with my son, does just that! Every day when I drop him off, he’s the happiest most excited boy ever to see all staff members, whether they work with him in his room or downstairs rooms! He’s always so happy to see them. My son is thriving under their care. He’s now crawling, talking, waving, clapping, pointing, independently playing and playing with others and he’s only just gone 9 months old! I’ve never felt happier knowing my son is being looked after by lots of aunties who he cares for so dearly and vice versa. Huge thanks and hugs to staff in raindrop room upstairs!”

Current Parent at our Idle Nursery (March 2024)

“All the staff are so lovely and make even myself feel welcome. My son has multiple allergies and are always doing the best for him and catering to his needs. My son has come on so much since being at Little Wellies Day Nursery. I would recommend it to anyone!”

Current Parent at our Idle Nursery (March 2024)

“My little one always has the best time at nursery, he always comes back so excited about what he's done that day and he loves all the staff there. They've worked wonders with him and he loves being there.”

Current Parent at our Idle Nursery (March 2024)

“We did various different nursery visits and Little Wellies stood out from others, it was a lovely nursery but all the staff were just exceptional. They were very welcoming, every staff member acknowledged XXX even when we weren’t in the baby room looking around. It made us feel very welcome straight away and we just knew that we wanted to send XXX here, you just get a good feeling from some places.”

New Parent at our Idle Nursery (February 2024)

“We chose Little Wellies after visiting a few nurseries. The way the staff engaged with our little one on the day made us feel at ease and he wanted to go back straight away.”

New Parent at our Idle Nursery (February 2024)

“Registration was thorough with the staff wanting to know as much information as possible to help our little one settle in. Settling in sessions were a great way to introduce the nursery team and environment to our little one and the way the team handled the transition made us feel at ease.”

New Parent at our Idle Nursery (February 2024)

“We feel very welcomed, all the staff are very welcoming even early on a morning!! XXX smiles as soon as she sees the girls in the baby room.”

New parent at our Idle Nursery (February 2024)

“We wanted our child to start socialising more and we have seen significant improvements in his home behaviour. We can see the progress he has made since starting at Little Wellies and we can’t wait to see how he develops further.”

New Parent at our Idle Nursery (February 2024)

“Our little boy absolutely adores coming to nursery. Every member of staff is fabulous and welcoming on a morning. Every night when we pick him up he’s thoroughly happy. Every interaction, every activity, every mealtime our little boy just loves. His development and speech are coming on great and that’s also because of the way he is interacted with at nursery. Our little one could not be happier.”

Current Parent at our Baildon Nursery (February 2024)

“Little Wellies is absolutely fantastic. My son has just transitioned rooms smoothly with the care and professionalism shown by the staff. He loves all the activities he gets to take part in, especially water play, and he is excited to go to nursery in the morning. Since attending the nursery he has developed in confidence and is thriving in the safe nurturing environment which all staff help create. Thank you all.”

Current Parent at our Baildon Nursery (December 2023)

“Our son has recently moved up from the toddler to pre-school room and although he initially missed the staff from his old room (whom he loved!), the staff in Sunbeams have helped him settle in. We're really impressed with the range of activities Little Wellies offers, including forest school sessions, vegetable growing and bike classes as well as the usual arts, crafts and other activities most nurseries offer. They really go above and beyond to offer the children opportunities they might not get elsewhere and take them outside the setting. I also really appreciated their flexible approach earlier this year when I had to change our son's regular day due to recurrent hospital appointments.”

Current Parent at our Baildon Nursery (December 2023)

“Little Wellies is in a wonderful place filled with warmth and care. The carers at the nursery have been incredible, creating a safe haven that's as comforting as home. They always come across as smiley and friendly even after a long day looking after the children. The homemade food, prepared fresh is one of the reasons I chose this nursery at the same place. It's fantastic that they offer flexibility during long holidays, making it easier for us to manage schedules. A big thanks to the amazing staff for their dedication and the loving environment they create for our little one.”

Current Parent at our Baildon Nursery (December 2023)

“Lovely nursery with caring staff who provide the best care. Very happy with the care my little boy receives, he loves it at Little Wellies. You can tell it’s a good nursery as lots of the staff members have been there for years and always seem so happy at work.”

Current Parent at our Baildon Nursery (December 2023)

“My daughter has attended Little Wellies in Idle for a number of years now, and we are extremely pleased that we chose this setting for her. Not only do they provide a safe, secure and caring environment for my child to thrive socially and emotionally, but they also plan and prepare a fantastic range of fun and engaging play-based experiences which have enabled my child to develop academically too. The staff at Little Wellies are just wonderful. They show so much care for my daughter, and they all do their best to make her smile each and every day - what more could you possibly want?”

Current Parent at our Idle Nursery (December 2023)

“My daughter loves nursery. She has built up so many lovely relationships with both children and adults, which has been wonderful to see! Thank you to everyone at Little Wellies for looking after my daughter so well!”

Current Parent at our Idle Nursery (December 2023)

“My child has been attending Little Wellies for 8 months now. Thankfully he had no issues settling in, this is hugely down to the warm, welcoming and nurturing staff. He’s always in his spare clothes as he’s getting messy and stuck in with the amazing activities that are planned. He also eats so well at nursery, even has two portions. The management team are very approachable and resolve any queries or concerns promptly. It’s so reassuring knowing your child is happy, learning, has a full stomach and being cared for to the highest standard. Thank you!”

Current Parent at our Wrose Nursery (December 2023)

“All staff are so welcoming, friendly and helpful they really do go above and beyond in every part of their job. The daily activities are fantastic, my daughter has an amazing time and has settled in fantastic. At the end of every session, I receive a detailed handover which I think is fabulous to know absolutely everything about their day.”

Current Parent at our Wrose Nursery (November 2023)

“This nursery is the 5 star example of child centred. My child has been in every room and has flourished. Staff are nurturing and attuned, provide tons of different activities and experiences and take the children on frequent outings. Any concerns or queries are addressed in a compassionate and open door manor. To all the staff for going above and beyond: Thank you!”

Current Parent at our Wrose Nursery (November 2023)

“Fantastic nursery, my niece and nephew have both attended this nursery, my niece is currently still there, and they both absolutely love it, they have really come on leaps and bounds. They both really enjoyed going, they love the staff and have made so many friends, it's like from home to home. Absolutely love the meals, and they have opened their palette to various food types, and always waiting for a second helping. 10 out of 10.”

Current Parent at our Wrose Nursery (November 2023)

"Excellent nursery. The staff are all so wonderful and caring. The management are so accommodating and very flexible with our needs as I work shifts. My child really enjoys going to nursery and has so much fun."

Current Parent at our Baildon Nursery (November 2023)

"My little one started at Little Wellies in October and has been welcomed so warmly into the nursery. Each and every member of staff who has come into contact with my child has made an effort to help him settle in. I look forward to seeing him develop during his time at Little Wellies with the help of the amazing staff."

Current Parent at our Idle Nursery (November 2023)

"It is such a pleasure to see how happy my little boy is at Little Wellies. You can see that the staff adore all the children and that shows how eager my child is to go to nursery each day. I know my son is in such good hands, and it’s the perfect environment for him to grow in confidence whilst having so much fun. Thank you to everyone at Little Wellies!"

Current Parent at our Baildon Nursery (November 2023)

"I am absolutely over the moon with how my little boy has settled in at Little Wellies Idle. The staff have been amazing at welcoming all of us. Communication is excellent at the end of the day between the staff and I. My little boy always has a smile on his face when telling me about his day. Thank you!"

Current Parent at our Idle Nursery (November 2023)

"I know (my daughter) has the most amazing time at nursery, and that is all down to the outstanding staff that have taken the time to truly get to know her and make her time there so enjoyable. We wouldn't even consider looking anywhere else!"


Current Parent at our Idle Nursery (November 2023)

"My daughter is settling into nursery so well, she loves going and the staff are so understanding and always greet you with a smile! Her development has come on so much and she loves going, the facilities are fantastic! Thank you!"

Current Parent at our Wrose Nursery (October 2023)

"My son was at a previous nursery since he was 9 months. He is 2 now, I believed it was right for him to start somewhere else. A few of my friends’ children go here and I’ve heard nothing but great things. My son started here the beginning of September, he has honestly flourished, my son really does love it once he’s there, and a few times he’s not wanted to come home!"

Current Parent at our Wrose Nursery (September 2023)

"My little boy started at Little Wellies Day Nursery two months ago in the baby room. As a first time mum this was my biggest worry as he’d spent every day with me and struggled and resisted going to people he’d never met but that was not the case at Little Wellies, my little boy settled in straight away and I have never left him crying or walked into him crying. He has come on so much in two months and I thank the girls that look after him for that as they are always interacting with the babies. They go on fun trips out. Speaking on the full nursery, the environment is always so lovely, to walk into children so happy and content because that’s all we want for our children. I couldn’t of imagined sending my little boy anywhere else and I am so glad we decided on Little Wellies. Management of the nursery are so helpful too! I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough! There’s nothing better than knowing your child is safe, well, happy, fed and content."

Current Parent at our Wrose Nursery (July 2023)

"My little one initially struggled to settle but all the nursery staff made me feel at ease and I was allowed to call and check on her without it feeling like I was a burden. Any parent will know that when they leave their child upset they need that reassurance that all is ok or else you can't function in your job as their upset is at the forefront of your mind. My daughter settled eventually but still has the odd day, but the staff know exactly how to be with her and she adores all of them. The nursery is spoken about a lot in our house as she is extremely happy there. Management are easily approachable, friendly and supportive. Activities are always well thought about and my little one gets excited to do something new. She has many friends and attending Little Wellies has bought out her confidence, speech, manners and how to interact well with others."

Current Parent at our Wrose Nursery (May 2023)

"I honestly couldn't have asked for a better nursery for my little boy, he's come on in leaps and bounds, constantly talks about the staff members when he's at home and tells me who his friends are. He's been here nearly 2 years now and he absolutely loves it."

Current Parent at our Idle Nursery (April 2023)

"Sending my daughter to Little Wellies Day Nursery Idle was hands down one of the best decisions we have ever made! She absolutely loves it there. All the team are friendly, so caring and will do anything and everything in their power to make sure your little one has the best time and learns through play! My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting with the team and loves her days in nursery!
She loves playing outside and is so adventurous and has made such strong bonds with all the team and the other kids there, it’s beautiful to see!
Thank you so much Little Wellies Idle! You guys are amazing!"

Current Parent at our Idle Nursery (April 2023)

"Excellent place for my child, every part of the nursery is set up and run brilliantly. The staff interaction with the children and parents is great, they are always seeking to do something different and making the environment as engaging as possible."
