Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
I came to Little Leaps after a bad experience with another childminder where my daughter just did not settle so was very nervous however the team at Little Leaps were so welcoming and comforting that my daughter settled straight in. She's learning lots daily and I love the updates we get about their day on the app its a great way of being able to see their progress.

Thank you so much for leaving a review! She settled amazingly well! A pleasure to have!
Little Leaps have been incredibly helpful with accommodating our needs, both of us being emergency workers our shift patterns meant we needed flexibility for ourselves and our son. We went to view Little Leaps when our son was six weeks old and instantly felt comforted with Lou, we had our hearts set on Little Leaps from the get go. Our son has been going there since he was six months and has been thriving. When he has days when he becomes unsettled we know that Lou, Zac and Ellie will give cuddles and comfort he needs. He’s gained such a huge social interaction from Little Leaps and has become his own funny little character.
Without Little Leaps, we would have found it hard with me going back to work after maternity leave but Lou was very accommodating. She’s a credit to herself and supported us on a personal level when family commitments meant one of us needed to stay away for work engagements. Our son loves going to Little Leaps and it’s been such a pleasure and breathe of fresh air knowing that he’s being well looked after and well educated to his needs as a baby of his age.
We love seeing his updates from Lou, Zac and Ellie on the online journal and we are so eternally grateful to Little Leaps for their support, love and care to our son.

Such an incredible review. Thank you so much! Little man is a joy to have.
There are not enough words to even begin to say how greatful and happy we are with Little Leaps. Lou and Zack have been so good with my daughter, even though she's been on and off sick since starting with Little Leaps in August. She's become so much more confident and independent and I know it's from the time she's spent with Lou and Zack. She's always full of smiles in the photo and video updates we get each day and is learning so much! We are lucky to have found Little Leaps and couldn't even begin to recommend them enough.

She is a delight to have at Little Leaps and her bond with Zak is amazing!
My son has been attending little leaps for a month now and due to separation anxiety he has struggled to settle. Little leaps have been so great in trying to help with this and to suggest ways to help him settle. He has created such a bond with one of the staff in particular and he is really starting to enjoy his time there. We can already notice the new things he has learnt since being there. We would definitely recommend to little leaps x

He changes everyday! Such a confident and adorable little boy. Thank you for leaving us a review.
Lou and Zack have been amazing with my son. He always has a smile on his face when I drop him off and pick him up. He’s been struggling with teething and illness and she’s been patient with him, keeping me updated daily with his feeding and temperament. I was worried about how he would nap at the childminder but he has two good naps everyday. I can’t complain about the care they’re giving my son and am thankful to have found them.
