They ONLY have her best interest at the core of all their interactions with a very close second being their secondary care of me. Anything I've asked of them - they have done without hesitation.

My Mum has been in Little Croft since August. The care home provides exceptional care in a warm, welcoming environment. The staff are compassionate, attentive, and always go above and beyond to make residents feel valued and comfortable. The home is beautifully maintained, with lovely gardens and excellent food. There's a real sense of community, and families are kept fully informed. It's reassuring to know our loved one is in such capable, caring hands-truly a home from home.
Thank you so much for your extremely kind words. All of us at little Croft truly love looking after your mother, she is an absolute delight to care for. We take great pride in our home and are deeply committed to ensuring that our residents choices, opinions and wellbeing always come first.

Thank you, Gill, for this lovely review. It's a pleasure to look after your father - he is such a kind and caring gentleman. We truly enjoy hearing the wonderful stories he shares with us about his childhood. I will be sharing your very kind words with the care staff. Thanks again
Nice care home and staff very friendly and helpful. The care home is very well decorated to give it a home feeling. The only downfall is there is nothing around to take the residents out like for a coffee etc.

Thank you for this kind and lovely review, I look forward to sharing this with the care staff. There is a railway station which has a nice cafe and it is walking distance from the home, if you ask the care staff they will help with directions with the easiest route. Best wishes

My mother first went into the Little Croft Care Home in February 2022 for respite care. However, it quickly became apparent that it would be impossible for my mother to live on her own again, so her stay became permanent.
In total my mother spent three years in the home, she died earlier this month aged 95. During that period she at all times received the most outstanding care. The manager and her team provided the most caring and considerate environment possible. To say my mother was well looked after would be a huge understatement. Often when we visisted she would be sitting in the communal lounge and staff walking by would wave to her to say hello. One important aspect of her care was the quality of the food. My mother always looked forward to her meals and had nothing but the highest praise for the food provided.
We could not have picked a better care home.
Thank you so much for this lovely review, it is very much appreciated and I look forward to sharing this with the staff. Looking after your mother was a great pleasure and she already is missed by all. Again thank you for the kind words you have shared. Best wishes

My mother moved into Little Croft in December 2024. From day one the care and love she received was exceptional. The team supported my mother for nearly one and half years which gave the family the confidence that mum was safe and cared for. The team at Little Croft supported mum with all her needs, food and medication and with love they accepted if she was difficult from time to time. Mum loved her time in Little Croft. Mum passed away in early March and the family are very grateful to everyone in Little Croft for their support and care.
My Mum has settled in very well at Little Croft Care Home in her comfortable room. The staff are all really friendly and do a great job looking after the residents. The food looks good and activities help to keep up morale. I would definitely recommend the home.

I am proud to say I am the Registered Manager for Little Croft Care Home and I have been in this position for the past 13 years.
I started my career working as a staff trainer in retail and then completely changed my role to follow my passion of working in care. I began working in a hospital specialising in Mental Health and Dementia. I then progressed my career through further training and began working for a housing association as a Senior Manager for extra care housing.
Since taking up my role at Little Croft Care Home, I have gained many qualifications, including the Registered Managers Award, as well as a vast amount of experience. My focus is to provide a comfortable and welcoming home that enables residents to feel safe, calm and at ease, with laughter and fun along the way.
Outside of work, I am a wife, mother, grandmother and I adore spending quality time with my family, especially my young grandchildren. I enjoy social evenings, music, reading and walking my 2 dogs Poppy and Rosie.

I came to Little Croft in 2018 as the Deputy Manager and since then I have worked up to becoming the Care Manager. I have worked in care for over fifteen years and have extensive qualifications which include NVQ Level 2 & NVQ Level 3, End of Life, Equality and Diversity and recently completed my NVQ Level 5 which is a great achievement. I have also taken a course in Dementia and I am a qualified Dementia Link Worker. I really enjoy my role and overseeing the care home, alongside the Registered Manager Carol. I recently got married in 2021 and my husband and I enjoy walking with our new addition to the family, Bear. He is a Bear Coated Shar-pei and is only one year old. He will sometimes come to work with me and spends time with the residents, who really enjoy seeing him, with residents sometimes asking where he is, as they miss him when he is not around. In my spare time at home, I enjoy looking after my tropical fish tanks, reading, and going for walks with Bear.
