Little Squirrels Childcare Ltd's Reviews

Avoid

Having put my trust in sharon williams and peter Lynas we were left devastated to find they would close overnight without warning. Owing us (and other parents) hundreds of pounds.
We have since discovered that ofsted had in fact visited after complaints were made many weeks before. Specifically the fact that the ratio of staff to children was significantly under along with other areas of risk that are available to view on Ofsted's reporting site.
They knew this and continued to take our money whilst putting our children at risk.
We had to fight to try and get some money back meanwhile having to explain to our children why they would not see there friends again. Some parents are still owed money - and they are ignoring all emails / phone calls.
We have since discovered that Peter Lynas is notorious for this kind of behaviour and truly feel we may have been victim of fraud.
A word of warning - I would strongly advise you not to leave your children with these people. They clearly care about nothing more than lining there pockets. We have learned a valuable lesson. If you dig a little deeper on this family it is all there. Trusting them to look after my children was the biggest mistake we ever made.

Outstanding professional childcare in a homely env

Little Squirrels is ideal because provides professional childcare in a homely environment. My
little girl is now almost two and a half and has been in full time care at Little Squirrels since
she was one year old. She absolutely loves it and is progressing and learning so much thanks to Sharon. The settings is great with a lot of outdoor space in large grounds, a vegetable patch, a barn that allows the children to have some outdoor time even when it rains. There is also a sunny conservatory full of toys and books with outstanding view of the river Severn. The children are regularly taken for outings to see the horses at the nearby stables, the ducks at the park, to collect books at the library, so see animals at the pet
shop etc.. I like the fact that my little girl is not stuck in a nursery all day and can see a little of the big outside world also when she is not with me. Sharon provides healthy meals and plenty of snacks: my daughter is growing strong and healthy and hasn’t been sick for almost a year now!
