Little Oaks Heywood

What this school does well: It’s hard to put into words just how much this nursery has meant to our family over the past few years. As our daughter prepares to leave for primary school, we’ve been reflecting on what an incredible journey it has been and how much of that is thanks to the amazing team here.
From the very beginning, they took the time to truly get to know her as an individual. Her personality, her interests, and her little quirks. She has grown so much in confidence and independence, and it’s clear every day how much care, patience, and genuine affection the staff have for the children.
The support they’ve given her (and us as parents) has been outstanding. Whether helping her through new challenges, celebrating her achievements, or simply being there with encouragement and understanding, they’ve been a constant source of reassurance and support.
She had loves the staff and the nursery setting, including the outdoor play area. She has learnt and thrived so much being in the setting.
We will forever be grateful for the role this nursery has played in such an important stage of her life and support they have given us as a family.
