My child has been at Little Flyers for a couple of years now and loves it. The staff are so caring and friendly. The rooms are cosy and inviting. The food provided is excellent. My child has made great progress with learning and social skills.

Overall Experience

My son is deaf and Little Flyers in West do all they can to accommodate him in the best way. I believe it was the best move I ever made to start him at a year - as his development has been fabulous. We have had bumps in the road with staff changing and management was not great for a short period of

time. As soon as change, they were back on it. My son is having some difficulty with toilet training when at nursery, however, as soon as I expressed my concerns they put in place an excellent worker who is doing all and more to meet his needs.

Overall Experience

Staff are so kind and supportive of our son. They adapt to his needs and understand what he wants or needs in the moment. He has come along so well since attending the nursery and has formed some really great bonds and relationships with key staff members. So pleased we chose Little Flyers West Calder

and have recommended to friends and family to enrol here also.

My son loves coming here, always has a great time, and the team seem to really care for him. There have been some changes in staff recently, but he doesn't seem bothered or unsettled. Anytime I've been in touch to raise an issue, it's been well received and promptly actioned.

Overall Experience

My son loves this nursery. It initially took him a while to settle; however, with the support and patience of the nursery staff, he is a happy, thriving and confident toddler. They always have lots of fun and varied activities for the children to do indoors and outdoors. The staff are welcoming and

friendly. love receiving updates and photos via the nursery portal. It's great to see their development. Management staff have been excellent and have communicated brilliantly with any of my questions or concerns. The nursery has been really proactive and invited parents to some events, the most recent was a Mother's Day afternoon tea, which was a lovely thing to do. I would highly recommend Little Flyers Broxburn.

Overall Experience

We've had a brilliant experience so far with this nursery. We feel the staff really do care about the well-being of our children. There's a lot of effort put into making sure they have a fun and educational experience. We have found that staff are great at taking on board any feedback we have, especially

in relation to our children's additional needs with their hearing, and it feels like we are all part of the same team trying to do what's best for our children.

Overall Experience

My two children have attended West Calder Little Flyers since October 2024. Management and staff were fantastic at making me feel at ease during their settle period. My eldest son has individual development needs and the team were keen to support us as a family during their time at nursery. We receive

fantastic feedback regarding both children's development and progression. I feel confident my children are safe and secure within the nursery environment and I can clearly see the positive bonds they have made with the staff team.

Overall Experience

We introduced our son to this nursery back in March last year. In the year he’s been here we’ve seen a massive difference in our son, the staff have worked with us all and helped our once shy infant with pretty strong attachment issues become this confident and full of excitement toddler who absolutely

adores the staff. Seeing how well he interacts with everyone and even hearing how well he’s getting on with his peers tells us we made the right choice in nursery setting. Now as we expect our second child the nursery has been so supportive in helping our son to understand this change that’s coming and are prepared to help however they can going forward. Lovely place with wonderful staff, we’d be lost without them

Overall Experience

We are very happy with the Little Flyers @Livingston. Our daughter started there in November after we moved to a new house and we were a bit afraid of how she would settle into the setting if she’d miss her friends from the previous nursery. The team here was very helpful and our daughter was happy

here quickly. There are plenty of activities happening every day and we especially love the little garden that’s open for kids throughout the day in all weather conditions. Also having pictures and seeing what she’s up to every day makes life easier for us knowing that she’s happy.

My child has not long started at Little Flyers and I have absolutely nothing but good words about this place, all staff are very friendly and so helpful, it's a lovely little nursery with so much for the children to do and explore, in the little weeks I have noticed a big change in my child especially

when it comes to talking.

I can not recommend this nursery enough. They go above and beyond for your child to ensure they well taken care of, loved and supported. My little one has been here since being 10 months old and is absolutely thriving! Constant updates throughout the day on how your little one is getting on. Any issues

a call is made right away in regard to accidents, concerns etc. They always provide fun new activities each week and try to incorporate each individual's interests into something fun at the nursery and the staff are all amazing and show a real interest in the care for your child 10/10 from me.

Overall Experience

Good points: my child is happy to attend and has friends there who they look forward to seeing. The food provided by little lunches has a good variety.
Bad points: It is very rare we get any kind of update on what they have been up to, there are rarely any photos or verbal updates and they don't often

bring anything home. Both Mother's Day and Father's Day this year and they didn't even make a card.
I'm not aware of my child undertaking any interesting activities in months, and observations for their learning are infrequent, and show a lack of understanding as to what level they are at. For example saying they can count to 10 and turn take, a year after they were able to do this.
The outdoor area could do with work such as putting down bark as it is just a mud bath.

Reply from Sharon Fairley, Director at Little Flyers @ Broxburn

Hello, thank you for taking the time to share your review, and I am sorry to hear of some of the negatives that you have experienced. We strive to make things right, and I know the managers have reached out to you so that this can be discussed further.
Regarding the mothers/fathers day cards, valentines etc, we are guided by the care Inspectorates to encourage child lead planning and are advised not to follow the traditions of years ago. As a mother, not just the owner, I don't always agree with new legislations, however, that is sadly the way of the early years sector at the moment, and we can where possible try and introduce children to these activities.
Regarding the garden, whilst the children love it, I do agree about the mud. We currently have an outdoor classroom in the plans for the garden, and I had hoped to be further on with this than we are, so we are considering barking the area in the short term.
Thank you again. Sharon Director

My children have been attending this nursery for over a year. It is a very good nursery allowing the children to develop in a safe and nurturing environment. Lots of activities are organised for the kids supporting their learning and development, lots of outdoor activities, and messy play.

Our boys love attending Little Flyers in Dedridge. The staff are genuine and the kids are safe in their hands. There is lots of variety for children and a good mix on offer - fun, development skills, outdoor time, independence, teamwork and more.

We are glad we chose this nursery and would recommend

it to any other local parents.

Overall Experience

We have been part of the Little Flyers family since they began operating here at Livingston. Our son attended here first from 15 months to 4 years, and we loved the nurturing smaller setting. This provided him with lots of opportunities to grow in confidence and become the confident wee boy he is today.

The garden environment was his favourite part of the nursery day and it was fantastic to see him out there in all weathers - come hail or shine! The staff were very friendly and accommodating and built a very special bond with our son and us as a family. When his wee sister joined our family she joined Little Flyers too at 14 months. Now at age 4 she is still there and going from strength to strength. We love the regular updates via the app, the photos of the fantastic activities the staff have carefully planned, along with the less interesting but pretty vital sleep, meal and nappy change updates! We have recommended the nursery to others as we do to you!

My 14 month old child has been attending Little Flyers for a few months now and all I can say is placing her there was the best decision I ever made.
She settled really well and is so happy while there, during the day updates you get with photos make you feel relaxed that she is well cared for. The

staff are amazing and professional. I’m just so glad that she can attend such an amazing place.

My son has been attending for some time. When he started he was very shy and played by himself. Since attending he has become really confident and has made loads of friends. It has been great to see him grow and have lots of different experiences. The app is brilliant and allows us to follow what he

is up to during the day. The staff are brilliant and he loves attending nursery.
