Little Owls have been amazing throughout the 3 years my son has been there. All the staff are always so nice and polite. He is going to miss them all and I'm going to miss his stories on what they get upto on a day-to-day basis.

Little Owls, Swarcliffe are always engaging, sensitive and personal to each child. They fully understand what each Child' needs and wants and teach with enthusiasm to spark a love of learning in all the children. They include parents as much as they can. From regularly updating the online portal, to
activities for parents to send with their children, to treasured arts and crafts to take home. They are very inclusive of all religious and secular holidays and events and always create fun exploring these events with the children in creative ways. It's also very handy being local to a different demographic to other nurseries in the area. It's embedded within the community and accessible for a wide range of areas. We could not ask for more from a nursery.

My child has attended Little Owls for almost two years and is currently in preschool. I count the staff there as part of our family, and transitions through our family life and nursery life and Covid. Staff are so supportive, going above and beyond, not just for children but families too. My little
one is developing so much in a safe, secure, nurturing environment and is always excited to tell me about her day. I can't say enough good things about Little Owls and each staff member there. What a team!

Staff are welcoming, always with a smile and positive energy. I haven't met a worker who doesn't get down to my daughters level to communicate effectively with her. Management are approachable and have a presence. Everything from play sessions to food menus are thought out. Staff are creative with the
limited resources they have. The nursery has a warmth about it once you look past the exterior. Would highly recommend and do recommend to friends and family. There is no better feeling than knowing your child is happy, safe and achieving her milestones.

My child has been coming to Little Owls from 2019 to 2022. All the staff are amazing friendly caring people. they gave me really good support when my child first started with detachment issues and since then my child has thrived with development. I have never had any issues. The nursery is really well
cleaned and the kitchen staff do amazing with the food as my child has never gone without a meal because of not liking it. They always have different food to offer if a child does not like what they have. The management team are brilliant and forever keeping us updated on any changes. Overall I would highly recommend Little Owls to everyone I know.

Absolutely fantastic nursery. I would recommend it to any parent. Amazing staff who understand and know every child individually. All staff know every child's name and even siblings! They worked really hard in settling my little boy into the nursery when he struggled with detachment issues, also supporting
me with my anxieties around this matter. They have also offered lots of other support in other areas and I always feel that they are they're there to help if we need anything. More than happy my boy will be progressing into pre-school here. An absolutely great place for children, cannot thank the staff enough.

The staff here are amazing, especially in preschool. They really care about the children and go above and beyond to make sure your child is happy.
My little girl started in preschool last year and she had never left me before this so it was a challenging time for her to adjust but she soon came around
thanks to the staff in the room and after a couple of weeks no more tears and has run to nursery ever since. She has a real bond with the staff in the room and management staff too which I don't think you get elsewhere. She is happy, more confident and really enjoys nursery. Everyday she comes out full of story from the day and learns so much too from numbers, letters and so many songs and stories. All 3 of my kids have attended this nursery and I would highly recommend to anyone.

Both of my children were under the care of Swarcliffe Little Owls Nursery and I can never praise them enough! Even though they're not categorised as Montessori nursery as such, I've found a lot of similarities. Child's development is at the centre, but it's not forced, carers follow child's needs and
help them build confidence in discovering new capabilities and develop independence. Children are encouraged to spend good portion of time outdoor and they get to be involved in creative activities. Carers are doing all their best to expand children interest in books, nature, art, maths etc. Everyone is very supportive and try to answer children's and parents needs. This place is definitely worth 5 star out of 5.

An amazing team of people who really have passion and our children at the heart of everything. I couldn't be happier and my little girl is so excited every time she attends. The management team are second to none as are all of the room staff, I completely recommend them to everyone.

The staff always seem to be in a happy mood which I believe reflects on to the children and I have yet to see my child come home in a bad mood. Upon collection, the staff are always informative about her day, what the day's activities are, food eaten and nap times. The nursery itself seems to always
be clean and has interactive things in the corridor area, especially when the chicks were being incubated - then hatched.. something I've not seen myself either. Very thorough with any bruising and issues to safety/health too. (Forms). Thank you to all the staff for working throughout Covid issues and restrictions, and I would happily recommend!

A lovely nursery, with lovely staff who take the time to have a chat with me. Great handovers, and use of tapestry. My child is very happy when I bring him into nursery, and happy when I collect him. I have had no issues with the nursery. Good communication with parents and involvement in planning etc.

Little Owls Nursery Swarcliffe is an amazing nursery, both of my children have attended here in the last 4 years and one child still attends. Members of staff and management are brilliant with my child who still attends Little Owls and also brilliant when it comes to liaising with me or my partner.
They show compassion towards all the children and bring them out of their shells and help them academically. I would highly recommend this nursery in the future as I have done previously.

My daughter wouldn't settle at first but the staff at Little Owls have been great with her, especially her keyworker. You really have brought our daughter out of her shell. I just want to say a really big thank you to you all.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.078)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.078) out of 10 for Little Owls Nursery Swarcliffe is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 5.000 for Little Owls Nursery Swarcliffe is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 3.078 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Owls Nursery Swarcliffe is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 = 3

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 64 number of registered child places is 12.8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.8 = 0.078

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
