Our son attended little leaps for around 18 months until sadly he had to leave due to us relocating. Our son turned from a shy 18 month old who lacked confidence and hated being apart from us, into a sociable, engaging little boy who built great bonds with the staff. Every day he would come home with a huge grin on his face. The staff really supported his love for sea creatures and would always show kindness to him when he was suffering from separation anxiety. I cannot recommend them enough and we were very sad to have to leave. Thanks little leaps for being so amazing!

Thank you so much for your review! We wish you all the very best on your new adventure! We hope you all settle well and please stay in touch! We hope little baby also continues to thrive. We will miss you all, but wish you the very best! Lots of Love from Lou Lou & everyone at Little Leaps! Xx
My little baba struggled settling in at a previous care setting I had enrolled him in at 7 months. 4 months after, he was still unsettled and often came home with puffy eyes having cried a lot throughout the day. As a first time mum, I struggled with settling in at work worrying about my precious child. I then found little leaps, did a bit of research on them and took the leap of faith and entrusted them to look after my baby. It has been 3 months, the start was a bit tough but as soon as my baby settled in, I must say he is thriving! He comes home from nursery happy, jovial full of energy. Thank you Little leaps . Am a happy and Grateful mum.

He is a very happy and jolly little boy and love how he has settled! Thank you for your review. It means a lot to us. 🙏
Our twin boys have been coming here since last September and they absolutely love it! Lou, Zac and Ellie are incredibly attentive, nurturing and dedicated and have been really supportive in helping with the boys development. Our boys have flourished under their care and we can see their confidence growing every day. They are always so excited to go in the morning and are always so happy at the end of the day. This gives us great peace of mind knowing they are having a great time. We would highly recommend Little Leaps!
