"I wanted to write to thank everyone at Little Learners for everything they do for our little boy. Little Learners has transformed our son from someone who did not want to be left in a nursery environment to one who will happily skip in every day, a huge gift for him and for me! Any parent will empathise with how hard it is when their little one dreads nursery, cries at drop off or on the way... we had this at a previous nursery every day for over a year but since his first day at Little Learners this had never once been the case.
Sylwia and her term create a warm nurturing atmosphere that is, above all, positive and caring. There is a fantastic balance between nurture and kindness but with clear boundaries and I feel our son benefits enormously from this. His participation in 'sitting and doing' activities has really improved with this mixture of enthusiasm and encouragement alongside high expectations. He has fun but also seems to absorb an incredible amount... from knowing words to all sorts of songs to telling me the missing planet in our solar system chart!
The feedback we receive is invaluable, every day our key worker, will let us know how our son has got on and we get weekly updates on what the children are doing and encouragement to support and build on this at home. We had some concerns about behaviour previously and these have been handled incredibly sensitively, with gentle and non-judgemental advice given on how we can back up the huge improvements they have made within the nursery environment. I feel our son has also really benefited from the smaller group sizes Little Learners can offer and the personal approach to learning. Not only does he know his teachers well but also the other children; it is so lovely to hear them all calling 'bye' to each other by name as they leave and I feel the more intimate setting really helps them to learn social skills and foster relationships. Indeed, our son has recently been for his settling in day at Prep School and they commented on his confidence, friendliness and 'traditional manners', all of which I would pass the credit on to Sylwia and her team for.
My husband and I really could not be happier with Little Learners and we are incredibly grateful to them for their patience, positivity and personal approach. They have re-framed our son's education for him but also for us - we have gone from feeling somewhat nervous about how our little boy would cope with school to feeling excited for him. I could not recommend Little Learners more highly as a happy, structured, personal and positive place to begin your child's school, social and learning life.
Thank you all!"
