We couldn’t recommend Donna and Little Pips highly enough. Our daughter absolutely flourished during her time there, and it was so lovely to see her grow in confidence, become more independent and build such wonderful relationships.
The thing I loved most about Little Pips was how much our daughter could always just be herself. Donna created such a warm, nurturing and homely environment where she felt completely comfortable being her own little person. She was always encouraged to explore, learn and have fun at her own pace, while being given so much love and reassurance along the way.
It was clear from day one how much Donna genuinely cares about the children in her setting, and we always felt that our daughter was truly known, understood and cherished.
We will always be incredibly grateful to Donna for everything she has done for her and would wholeheartedly recommend Little Pips to any parent looking for a wonderful, caring and nurturing setting.

We feel so lucky to have found Little Pips!! As a first-time tummy mummy, leaving my little one was something I felt really anxious about, but Donna has been nothing but kind, caring and incredibly gentle throughout the whole process.
She has such a calm and reassuring nature, and it’s made such a difference to both me and RJ.
You can really see how much thought and effort goes into the setting. They are constantly making improvements, building and introducing new equipment for the children, which is amazing to see. There’s such a lovely range of toys and activities, and everything feels so well considered for the little ones.
Their passion for child development really doesn’t go unnoticed, and it’s clear in everything they do.
The garden is absolutely beautiful too — such a peaceful space — and RJ especially loves watching the birds, which is just so special.
It honestly warms my heart to see the photos of my baby smiling in the diary updates we get — it’s so reassuring to know he’s happy and already thriving.
I honestly couldn’t ask for a more nurturing and supportive environment for my child. I would highly recommend Little Pips to any parent 🌱💚

I cannot describe how grateful I am that we found Donna. She has been amazing in every aspect while we got our little girl established at Little Pips. Our daughter has settled in so well and has developed lots of new skills already! I was incredibly anxious about starting our daughter in a childcare setting but Donna has understood and eased all my anxieties along the way. Her communication is excellent, she keeps us updated and is so attentive to our daughters needs. The set up at Little Pips is excellent as well and you can see just how much effort has and is going in to creating the perfect safe space for little ones!
