“Happy Holiday”

★★★★★

written by kyRomero358 on 21/08/2015

Having arrived in Spain on holiday, my husband and I dropped our 11month old son off for his first day at LittleBrains with some trepidation. The welcome we received from the lovely staff and the clear care and affection with which they look after their children put our fears to rest. The facilities are clean and spacious and packed with fun things for kids of all ages to do. Little Brains were flexible enough to enable us to leave our son with them for just a few days during our holiday.

“Little Brians”

★★★★★

written by harrk on 28/04/2015

Great little day care! My son seems to be very happy there and it is clear that the staff who work there genuinely care about the well-being, happiness and progression of the children they are looking after. Recently some new positive polices have been introduced which shows the team are constantly seeking to improve and are open to constructive feedback. I often see pictures of my little boy that the staff have taken during they day which is nice to see whilst I am at work as it reassures me that he is having a great time :) Each parent also gets a nice little update on their child when they go to collect their child at the end of the session.

“Absolutely Amazing - Fantastic!”

★★★★★

written by ClaireAlex on 27/04/2015

I was nervous at first about sending my little boy to nursery - as he was so little, 4 months when he started but Little Brains could not have made it easier. As soon as we walked through the door we knew our little boy would be happy here. The staff are friendly and always smiling and the management of the facilities and children is first class. My little boy has been there for 4 months now and is thriving! The entertainment and attention he gets whilst he's there gives him much more than i could by being at home with him, he absolutely loves it and it makes me feel comfortable knowing he's being looked after at such a great place whilst i'm at work. Since he's been at Little Brains his social skills have improved and i put this down to his early interaction with the staff and other children and he is now comfortable playing and being left with others. Going back to work full time when he was only 4 months old was daunting but i could not be happier with the service at Little Brains and would not hesitate to recommend this to any of my friends as a great place to leave your little one!

“Fun and dependable”

★★★★★

written by Nissan2 on 26/04/2015

We moved from France and were nervous about our son settling in. In no time he was loving it. He has made great friends and looks forward to going. They are friendly and flexible there. Now my biggest worry is how he will cope leaving to go to big school. I would recommend this day care to anyone.

“Wonderful little big nursery ”

★★★★★

written by McKennaii343 on 16/03/2015

So many pros for this lovely bilingual nursery. the staff are warm, welcoming, caring, loving, clean, and happy. The space is vast, it's so bright and airy. The children are not mixed and bundled all together all different ages in one small room (like other nurseries I have visited on the coast), but in their own age ranges in their own rooms. The soft play area is brilliant and I think one of my daughters favourites. The owners are very hands on, and are always available should you ever need them. They care for each child individually and cater for their needs whatever they could be. My daughter did struggle to settle at first just as any child would. The team soon found what made her happy and at ease and they still use this now when I drop her off of a morning. My daughter now tells me to go away of a morning :-) my only negative is that no lunches are provided, for me I would happily pay extra for a hot meal onsite - but for me this nursery is well above all the others I have visited. the nursery and it's team are worth their weight in gold

“Lovely family atmosphere!”

★★★★★

written by Jenna2612 on 03/03/2015

What I love most about Little Brains is that they treat my son like he is one of the family. He's so happy and comfortable with the wonderful staff, I couldn't ask for anything more! He looks forward to going to nursery and talks about it even over the weekend! Knowing he is happy is all I could ask for when I'm at work. I'm dreading September when he has to leave to go to school, it will be very emotional!

“A happy baby equals a happy mummy :)”

★★★★★

written by AlanaMac on 28/02/2015

Overall I am extremely happy with the care and services provided by Little Brains nursery. My little girl is happy being left there and happy when I collect her (if she's had a sleep ;) ) and that speaks volumes to a parent. I love to see her pictures on the website to let me see the activities she has been doing while there and she always looks very content in them. The staff are always friendly and helpful and I can see how content my girl is with them all. This is very reassuring and definitely puts my mind at ease when leaving her in their care. My little girl can become very clingy and needy when she's tired - and refusing to sleep, however anytime I've called to collect her and she's having a 'moment' I always see the nursery staff cuddling her and trying to settle her as best they can, this is so nice to see as I appreciate there are many toddlers and babies in the nursery... But to know that your child's needs are still met and the staff so caring towards her is very much appreciated. Thank you Little Brains for everything. A happy mum :)

“Exceeding Expectations”

★★★★★

written by KatLF on 13/02/2015

My son has been attending the nursery for over a year now, initially just two days a week but it soon became clear he much preferred spending time with his little friends than at home with me and within two months he was full time, he really does love it that much! I initially came across this nursery after attending a baby and toddler group there and was so impressed with the nursery and the staff and inturn the local area that we moved to the village from another area to make it easier to get to and from the nursery when the time came for our little one to start. The nursery itself is bright and clean with lots to keep the children occupied, whatever their age. Because the staff are both Spanish and English and teach in both languages it helps no end in preparing children for starting school when they aren't native Spanish speakers. The staff are all fantastic with children and my son absolutely adores them all. It's much more like a big family than just a nursery/parent/child relationship and you can tell the staff genuinely care about each of the children and go out of their way to ensure that parents get the opportunity to get to know each other if they so wish and celebrate their childs development and achievements throughout their time at nursery. If I have another baby I wouldn't hesitate to send them to this nursery and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

“First experiences with nursery”

★★★★★

written by tishytash on 12/02/2015

My son started Little Brains at 5 months. I originally started him at another local nursery but didnt feel totally comfortable each time we went and put it down to being a new mum. A week before i started work id had enough.He wasnt his happy normal self and promptly pulled him out and put him in Little Brains. The change in him from literally one day was amazing!On collecting him he was sat on one of the supervisors lap reading stories together and giggling and everyday got better and better. I love they do activities at the nursery that i dont do at home.Its clear the close relationship the babies and toddlers have with the each other,the staff and vice versa in and out of the nursery. I love the feedback of what hes been doing during the day,whether hes been good or naughty,seeing photos of them all playing together,the little booklets we get of their artwork during the year and so much more. Im dreading when its time to move on as the staff at Little Brains have made us feel like family and set the standard! Thank you all at nursery from the bottom of my heart for the first 2yrs of your love and care of my monkey and me ; ) the next school has some very big shoes to fill!!xxx

“review”

★★★★★

written by Meyerit157 on 10/02/2015

Little Brains I registered my daughter when she was ten months old. First time mother, feeling lots of different emotions and not knowing if I had made the right decision in leaving my baby in the hands of strangers. Till this day, I have had absolutely no regrets and constantly have conversations with my husband where we both agree we made the right choice. The staff and directors are extremely friendly and easy to speak to in both languages (english and spanish), and have positively contributed in my baby´s development (crawling, walking, eating habbits, talking, etc), there are always different daily activities planned, the place is spacious with their own children´s gym, always looks and smells clean, my child´s belongings do not go missing, and she is always happy with a huge smile on her face when we drop her off in the mornings and pick her up after lunch. Staff keeps you updated daily on her eating, drinking, nappy changing, mood, etc), some are mothers too so they can advise you on any doubts or situations you may encounter for the first time. You can always follow them on facebook to see pictures of what your child did that day.

“Toddler loves it ”

★★★★★

written by DevonOrion on 28/01/2015

Our 15 month-old recently started going to Little Brains and after getting past the usual initial separation problems when dropping him off, we now have the opposite problem that he doesn't want to leave when we pick him up ! So he runs off and we have to chase him down, at which point he expresses his displeasure that its time to go home. At weekends when there is no school he now gets antsy as he doesn't know why he isn't going to "that fun place". So a thumbs up as all can ask is that the kids enjoy it, and he clearly does !

“The best care on the coast!”

★★★★★

written by Nmcgrath on 14/01/2015

Being a first time mum, the hardest thing to do is leave your baby in the care of others. The staff at Little Brains make this massive step so much easier with their friendly, professional and caring manner. Our son couldn't be happier, and neither could we. We know when we leave him, he will be cared for and have so much fun while also learning so much (in 2 languages!) and taking important steps in his personal development. There is always so much going on, and the children are never left without something to do, whether they're painting, singing or playing in the gym, there is never a dull moment. There is always friendy, helpful advice given when asked for, and reassurance when I have any concerns. I cannot speak highly enough about them and would recommend the centre to anybody looking for top quality childcare!

“Daycare at its best”

★★★★★

written by Ortega326 on 29/12/2014

Being working parents without a family network to hand here in Spain can be very worrying,stressful and challenging at times.little Brains nursery have provided us with professional, caring,attentive and engaging childcare since our daughter was 6.5 months old, she is now nearly 2! They have gone above and beyond the call of duty to help and support my husband and I in caring for our daughter.Parents are encouraged to work with the nursery to support your little one through their little steps through childhood which we believe is something that money can not buy. If you are looking for the following for your little one: A safe, fun and friendly environment A bilingual education Varied and though through activities on a daily basis Then this is the place for your VIP I could not ask more from a nursery.... Thank you All.....
