I honestly cannot recommend Nippertime enough. My daughter started attending two days a week, and we quickly increased it to five because she loves it so much. The atmosphere is incredible — warm, welcoming, and full of care. You can truly see how much the team love the children and how dedicated they are to supporting their development. Since starting, my two-year-old has come on leaps and bounds. She can now confidently string full sentences together that anyone can understand, which amazes us every day. She’s always so happy to go in the mornings and never wants to leave at the end of the day. Thank you so much, ladies, for everything you do — we’re so grateful.

We love Nippertime and can’t recommend it enough! Our daughter started just over a year ago, and from the very first visit, we knew it was the perfect place for her. She used to struggle with major separation anxiety, and finding the right environment was a challenge. From day one, the teachers made her feel welcomed, supported, and safe. They gave her the time and space she needed to settle in at her own pace — and the progress we’ve seen since then has been incredible. She now loves going to school and would happily go every day if she could! Her social skills have blossomed, and she’s become very confident and outgoing. The daily schedule strikes the perfect balance between free play, sensory and creative activities, and outdoor time. We love that the teachers encourage independence — our little girl takes so much pride in doing things on her own. She has also built such a special bond with all her teachers. They are caring, patient, and professional, and it’s clear how much they love what they do. We recently welcomed a new baby, and there’s no doubt in our minds that she’ll be joining Nippertime too when she’s old enough!

My daughter has been at Nippertime for a year and a half and she absolutely loves it. She always skips in without a backward glance. They have a good structure and always do great activities. They have a nice outdoor play area, some of which is covered so they can still play outside when it’s raining. My son is only one but I have signed him up to start nippertime as soon as he turns two as I know he will have a wonderful time there too. All the ladies are so kind and genuine, we trust them entirely.

Simply put, the women who run Nippertime are the best in the Warlingham area. I wouldn’t entrust my children with anyone else and they have become like family because they really do take pride and care in being that extended family for the children who attend. Both my son and daughter have attended and what I particularly like about Nippertime is that they don’t run it like a playgroup, the day is structured, and the kids get involved in activities and learning projects, even yoga! My son was set up for that next stage into Reception and I really believe it was because of the dedicated time and effort from the Nippertime staff. Can’t recommend highly enough.

I currently have both my children at Nippertime and could not be happier. My daughter is 4 and a "school leaver" now - and I can tell she's going to be very ready for "big school" later this year. We get comments a lot on how good her grasp is on language... maths... shapes... colours... it's obviously it's the influence from Nippertime - though we've never felt she was overly "pushed" which is really important to us! My son is 2 and has just started, and, as they were with my daughter in the early days, they staff are SO lovely and accommodating. He's a confident kid but it's still a big adjustment, and the environment and support he (and I!) get at Nippertime is making it look easy! Thank you for all you do for our family!

We recently entrusted our daughter into NipperTime’s care following our experience with our son whom went there for 2 years. It’s like dropping your child off with extended family, we couldn’t think more highly of the wonderful, talented and heartfelt ladies that run the show whom have developed a culture of excellence over their years working there. Our son LOVED his time there and still often reminisces. Their contribution to your child’s overall development is immeasurable. If you can make it work for you don’t even think twice about choosing NipperTime.

Nippertime is a brilliant nursery. I have sent both my girls here since they were 2. Both of them love going to nursery and talk about the staff and children so fondly. All staff are extremely experienced and always support my children. I feel very confident in the nursery setting and the variety of activities they do. The communication with staff is excellent. Overall, a lovely place for children to grow and develop.
