Testimonials
“Our daughter’s experience at Little Sweethearts was phenomenal! Although she entered the school mid-year, the teachers instantly made her feel welcome and helped her quickly become part of the class. Little Sweethearts offered a developmentally appropriate curriculum that was tailored to each child. Our daughter absolutely loved Little Sweethearts and couldn’t wait to go to school each day!”

“Dear Mrs Eaton, Little Sweethearts Montessori has really proved to us how much power a teacher has to shape young learners. Our son joined in the late summer term, and this was his first experience of formal education. Mrs A. and Miss A. are outstanding teachers who really took him under their wing, nurtured him, and continued to support him in his learning journey. We will be eternally grateful for how much our son excelled and was passionate about going to school. We cannot thank the school enough.”

“We have had our two children attending Little Sweethearts over a period of 4 years. We cannot praise the entire team highly enough! The care, attention and warmth the nursery have shown to our two children is simply outstanding! Every day we dropped off our child, we felt confident and happy that they would have a wonderful day and receive the best care possible!! The staff plan so many brilliant activities for the children and it is amazing how much they learn all the time! The nursery itself is beautiful, very clean and tidy! By sending our children to Little Sweethearts we were 100% confident that we were furnishing them with the best possible start in terms of the education, confidence and all round social skills! “

“Little Sweethearts is an amazing nursery school. Our daughter went to Little Sweethearts for two years. The teachers are truly caring, extremely knowledgeable and they teach according to the child's individual needs and interests. The teachers knew our daughter very well and provided us with regular detailed updates on how she was doing and how to support her best. The environment at the nursery is calm, peaceful, organised and promotes learning. The nursery has a very gentle approach to settling in, which for us was very reassuring and comforting. Our daughter loved school, looked forward to going to school every day and even asked us to enrol her full days (instead of just mornings). We are looking forward to our second daughter starting nursery at Little Sweethearts!”

“My child started nursery right after he turned two. I can see he really blossomed and learned new things every day. I especially looked forward to the arts and craft that he got back every Friday. He really bonded with his teacher and I was pleasantly surprised when pointed them out and said their names. He had clearly bonded with them. He settled into the new environment and responded to the nurturing environment and teachers.”

“Dear Mrs Eaton, I want to thank you so much for providing our son with the best possible start in life that we could have wished for. Little Sweethearts has transformed our shy withdrawn little boy into a confident and increasingly sociable child. Down to the loving care and devotion of your wonderfully skilled staff. He is so happy and just cannot wait to get there each day. We would love our third child, due to be born this October, to start with you.”

“My daughter had her first school experience at Little Sweethearts. Miss K and Ms F. nurtured her love for learning and reading! All teachers are very caring and patient educators who embodied their passion in every day learning. M. barely spoke English when she started in September and she became a confident speaker by the summer. We were amazed with her development and progress.”
