We absolutely love Little Trees Day Nursery Celtic Springs, mainly because of the wonderful staff. They're so kind, friendly and approachable, my daughter is so at ease with all of them.
We recently had a parents evening which I thought was such a lovely touch. It helped inform us on how our daughter
is doing in terms of her milestones and development.
Would highly recommend this nursery.

Both of my sons go to Little Trees and they absolutely love it! Their developmental skills have definitely improved. My youngest is now the biggest explorer and loves to crawl around the room and pull himself up onto furniture. He enjoys clapping his hands and dancing along to songs provided by the
nursery staff. My eldest loves to play with the farm animals provided by the nursery and he can now name each animal and voice the noise that the animal makes. The staff are so friendly and reassuring. My eldest is often not happy about leaving my side in the mornings, but the staff quickly offer him support and he soon comes around and runs off to explore the room and play with toys.

Reply from Jessica Tate, Nursery Manager at Little Trees Day Nursery Celtic Springs

Thank you for your lovely feedback, it is great to hear that both of your children have settled in well to the nursery. They have created wonderful bonds with the staff within their base rooms. We look forward to further developing your children's skills further here at Little Trees Celtic Springs.

Both my children go to this nursery and we have never had any problems they're absolutely amazing with both of them, they help them develop so much. My son recently had his settling in back in November and they were so good with him, they gave me constant updates and reassurance with pictures via the
app. My daughter who has been with the nursery now nearly 2 years absolutely loves all of the staff and enjoys going to nursery, she's learnt so much since joining and is so confident.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We really appreciate parental feedback and it's always lovely to share such positivity with the team. It's assuring to hear that the staff provided you with such comprehensive feedback during the settling in process for your son. We are thrilled to hear that your daughter is comfortable with all of the staff and has learnt new skills since being at the nursery.

The staff at Little Trees Nursery are so good with my daughter. They always keep me up to date with any developments she makes and also arrange lovely events where you are able to stay and play or have breakfast, meet Santa or even have nursery photos. I can see that my daughter has majorly benefited
from spending time with other children in her age group and also loves her caregivers at Little Trees. I'm very pleased to be able to send her to a nursery that takes such excellent care of the children they look after.

My daughter attended Little Trees from February 2020 until July 2024.
Throughout that time she was well looked after and loved attending nursery. She made loads of friends and loved her carers.
The staff are well trained and love the children who they look after.
The nursery is always trying to
improve its facilities.
I would definitely recommend.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the care and effort Little Trees put into nurturing my son. Though only there a short while, he thrived; forming tight bonds with his key workers and showing affection for all staff. The nursery was always a warm, happy place filled with smiles; children were clearly
comfortable and enjoying themselves.
My son arrived with a speech delay and signs of special educational needs. Little Trees were incredibly supportive and accommodating, helping us start diagnosis pathways before school. His speech improved immensely over the six months he attended, and the nursery brilliantly adapted to his needs. Management were always friendly, and approachable, and kept us well-informed, often going above and beyond.
Little Trees is an incredible nursery we were sad to leave when he had to go to a big school. Even months after leaving, my son still speaks fondly of the nursery; it has left a lasting impact.

Thank you so much for a lovely review and for taking the time to complete this for us. It really was a pleasure getting to know you and your family even if it was for a short time. We very much miss seeing you all at the nursery and wish you all the very best.

We absolutely loved this nursery for our little girl. As she moved through the rooms she made such special relationships with the staff in there. It was a home from home for her and we felt safe knowing she was so well cared for. Having recently left and moved to school, we were all so sad that this
time in her life had come to an end. We are now struggling to get her to eat school dinners as 'they are not like the yummy nursery dinners'. We would highly recommend this nursery.

We couldn't have picked a better nursery for our children! Little Trees in Celtic Springs has given so much care and love and they have really helped to nurture and encourage their learning. We have been walking through the doors for 4 years now and our youngest started 9 months ago. The team are excellent
and show great care for the needs of the children, from the settling-in stage and the children meeting their new carers in each room, right through to keeping parents updated with information and development.
Our youngest has quite complicated dietary needs with several allergies and we were worried about sending her to a new environment, however, we should not have been concerned at all. Her carers take incredible steps to ensure that her allergies are catered for and go above and beyond to make sure she does not miss out on activities!
We would recommend Little Trees to anyone looking to place their children into a nursery.

Our son had 4 fabulous years at Little Trees Newport.
Lovely events were put on at Christmas time for the older children, and the graduation and the summer sports day were spectacular. He made great friends there and the carers and all staff were second to none- the teaching, playing, creative and
story times were talked about on the journey home every day. Food was amazing, he was regularly known to have second helpings! And we were kept updated regularly on his progress with reports, photographs, observations and videos.
We will be forever in debt to the staff in the nursery and the structures in place. He was so well looked after by all the carers/teachers there, he's now headed into school a confident, playful, knowledgeable and creative little boy. A superb experience!

Our daughters thrived at Little Trees, with our eldest leaving well-prepared to start school and our youngest moving to a more local nursery. It felt like such a caring and nurturing big family and we were all so sad to say goodbye. We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful, dedicated staff. They
knew our girls inside out and their bond was beautiful to watch. It helped us feel secure and confident that they were always safe and happy. Thank you, team! We miss you.

We had two children go through Little Trees in Celtic Springs, and it was a joyful experience for them. We knew they were in great hands when we dropped them off, and would invariably be in a happy mood and full of lively descriptions of what they'd done that day upon picking them up. Doing the nursery
pick-up for the last time was a bittersweet moment because of how formative and enjoyable Little Trees had been for our children - not to mention how personable and kind the staff there are - albeit knowing that it had prepared them well for their next step on the education ladder. A wonderful nursery and we can only thank the staff for all their hard work in creating such a positive, caring environment.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the wonderful experience my two children had at Little Trees Celtic Springs from 2018 until 2024. As a parent, finding a nurturing and stimulating environment for my children was my priority, and this nursery exceeded all my expectations.
From the very first visit,
it was clear that Little Trees is a safe and comforting place for my children to flourish. The staff are incredibly welcoming, and they genuinely care about each child's development and well-being. My children formed strong bonds with their caregivers, which made transitioning into the nursery a smooth and enjoyable experience for all of us.
I am so grateful to the entire team for their dedication and for making our experience so positive.
If you are looking for a nurturing, stimulating, and community-oriented nursery, I wholeheartedly recommend Little Trees, Celtic Springs. It has been an invaluable part of our family's journey, and I will always cherish the memories we made there!

This nursery was an excellent choice for my children. They were happy, safe, active and learning each day. The staff are all wonderful and kept our children in safe hands. Great communication from the staff and the ability to check in during the day was a great positive. It was a sad day when we had

I can’t recommend the nursery enough, they take time to settle in the children when they’re new to the environment and update you on the food they have, sleep, and nappy changes and let you know how they have been for the day. The carers take time to send you photos so you can see what your child has
been up to during the week, telling you the areas they have explored and developments. All the carers take time to build a bond with your child and they are kept very busy throughout the day doing lots of different activities, walks and time outside in the summer. They help build confidence and encourage them to interact with other children in group settings encouraging sensory play and physical development. Quick to let you know when they feel unwell, and safeguarding is important to the nursery. My daughter enjoys her time in the nursery and I cannot thank the carers enough, they are all amazing.

We have been taking our little one to Little Trees Day Nursery for around six months now, and he always comes home very happy from the nursery.
We are always given a full breakdown of everything he has done during the day, including meals eaten, nappy changes, activities and nap times, along with
photos. We can also direct message the carers on an app to check in at any time to see how his day has been so far.
The carers are absolutely fantastic, have great communication and keep us posted on daily events. Our little one often comes home with arts/crafts that he has been making at nursery, which I think is fantastic! Overall, we think the nursery is fantastic and want to thank all the staff for the work they do.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.874)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.874) out of 10 for Little Trees Day Nursery Celtic Springs is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.874 for Little Trees Day Nursery Celtic Springs is calculated as follows: ( (370 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 396 Ratings = 4.874

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Trees Day Nursery Celtic Springs is based on 31 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 115 number of registered child places is 23, which has been reached with 31 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
