What Families Say About Us

Rated 5★ by our families

Our daughter loves coming here. The staff are attentive and caring. The app is also a great way of keeping us up to date with our daughter's day. Thank you Ladybird team!

Ekrem H. Google review, October 2026

We love Ladybird nursery, the staff are exceptional and really care about the children. I love how happy and passionate the staff are, it makes such a difference. The nursery is always clean, management team communicate well, food is thoughtfully chosen and prepared, and most importantly my sons have enjoyed their time there.

Fallon C. Google review, October 2026

Ladybird Nursery is fantastic. Our son was there for 4 years and daughter has been there for almost 2 and both have had fantastic experiences. The staff are so nurturing and genuinely care about each individual child. The pre-school room runs a forest school provision once a week which the children adore and is great for their learning. I couldn't recommend Ladybird higher.
