The Little Shipmates Family, which has sites in Southampton, Hythe, and Basingstoke, consists of five day care centres.
Each location has its own distinct features and ambiance, delivering a completely personalised experience tailored to the requirements of the parents and kids we help.
All of our employees have first aid, health and safety, childcare, and food hygiene certifications that are nationally recognised.
We provide delicious and wholesome meals to all of our young guests thanks to the skilled on-site chefs and nursery caterers who work for us.
Additionally, we can accommodate all unique dietary needs and preferences.
Staff members have been helpful in assisting my kid to settle in, particularly during drop-off time, and are kind and understanding of my child's requirements.
When I pick up and leave off my child, I always notice a lot of smiling, happy kids at the nursery. The staff is always delighted to provide you with regular information on the daily development as well as a unique online tapestry diary for each particular child.
In the beginning, when our kid entered nursery in February 2016, I was really concerned about leaving him and going back to work.
I believe that every parent is cautious about who they let their child spend time with, but I can honestly say that I have no concerns about him spending the day here.
It's wonderful to observe that my son gets along with everyone of the Red Cabin staff members; they're all terrific.

At first, my kid refused to eat the lunch items that were provided; however, she is now willing to try small portions of something else that she will eat. However, I personally believe that the lunch menu needs to be revised; I would say it is a necessary flavour that is nutritious.
When I pick up and leave off my child, I always notice a lot of smiling, happy kids at the nursery. The staff is always delighted to provide you with regular information on the daily development as well as a unique online tapestry diary for each particular child.
There are several imaginative pursuits and enjoyable outdoor areas.
In a short period of time, my youngster has already picked up a great deal of new information.
In the beginning, when our kid entered nursery in February 2016, I was really concerned about leaving him and going back to work.
The employees did their best to make this changeover smooth as possible, though.
Everyone is so friendly and I know that when I pick him up he has had a good day which is always confirmed by the NPs.
He does so many different activities and he loves interacting with other children.
Every day I eagerly anticipate going through his journal to learn what he has accomplished and what he has consumed.
and the alerts from the tapestry are a wonderful reminder that he is having fun.
I highly recommend Little Shipmates to anyone who is looking for a nursery.
