The nursery is fantastic, all the girls are very welcoming, I'm so grateful to you for your patience, enthusiasm, and passion. I really appreciate the hard work that is put into looking after my daughter. I want to express my sincere gratitude to all the teachers who have contributed to my child's growth.
I feel that my daughter is in really safe hands, she's learnt so much and that's all thanks to the girls who work here. I can't remember all the girl's names but they are all so lovely and have made me feel at ease knowing my daughter is looked after and her key worker really makes a fuss of my daughter which she loves, lovely little bond they have got that's so nice to see.

All the staff at Little Trees are wonderful. My son loves his time at nursery and has grown in confidence whilst attending. We are very happy with the level of service, and the mix of activities, we love the updates and photos. We would recommend it to anyone looking for a safe and clean environment
where children can learn and play with genuinely lovely staff who take an interest in your children.

Fantastic nursery and the staff have been amazing with both my children. My children have thrived in the nursery setting. They do so many different activities each day which are all age-appropriate and educational. It is hard handing your children over to be looked after by people you don't really know
but my children absolutely adore their nursery teachers. My eldest who is now in reception still regularly asks to go and see her teachers as she misses them.


Keep doing an amazing job Little Trees Newport.

My daughter has been going to Little Trees from 10 months old (November 2021) She loves nursery and in the last two years her confidence has grown massively, shes intelligent, funny, very bossy lol and is so independent, Throughout all the classes the staff have been amazing, so welcoming and absolutely
wonderful with all the children in the class. I have recommended friends to bring their small children to this fantastic nursery

Our daughter is currently at Little Trees, with our eldest having attended the nursery. The leadership team and caring staff at the nursery are excellent, understand the worries of parents and the needs of children, and they are always there to answer any queries and provide find depth feedback daily.
The nursery has a lovely atmosphere that nurtures the growth and development of the children. I have always felt comfortable and safe leaving my children in their care. I would recommend the nursery without reservation.

I am so pleased I have finally found a nursery my one year absolutely loves. From having a negative experience previously to now having such a positive impact on my one year old and myself, it's such a great feeling to have. The attention to detail of the staff and interaction is amazing. I have seen
such an improvement in my son's development already. I couldn't have done it without the support from the ladies from explorers 2. They are fantastic!

To put our first baby into a nursery was a scary and nerve wracking experience especially when we were not allowed to step foot into a nursery to have a look during lockdown but we trusted the videos and reviews, now I couldn’t be happier that we picked Little Trees Day Nursery Celtic Springs! I love
the family app to get updates throughout the day and all the staff are lovely but some individuals definitely stand out above others. I feel like they are always trying to improve and go above and beyond to be the best nursery in the area, which I truly believe they are. I would highly recommend it to anyone!

A corporate-owned nursery with a very corporate feel. Staff are inexperienced and do not always have the child’s best interest at heart. Activities are very limited and staff are not proactive what so ever. Very cold and impersonal feel to the place.

Reply from Charlene Burgess, Area Manager at Little Trees Day Nursery Celtic Springs

We take all feedback very seriously. I am sorry you feel this way.
We strive to provide an outstanding quality of care and improve our service user's experience wherever possible, and we feel this is reflected in the feedback and reviews we typically receive.

Teddies have been fantastic with our girls. My eldest has been attending the last 18 months and my youngest almost a year. They both look forward to nursery and have a great bond with the key workers looking after them. The lay out is spacious with lots of activities and they always enjoy their meals
too. With the use of the app, communication is so quick and easy. Really can’t fault the nursery. My daughter will be upset when she leaves to go to school in September! Thank you Teddies!

Teddies Nursery has helped my daughter come on leaps and bounds. The staff are incredibly dedicated and have been amazing and kept us up to date the entire time through the coronavirus crisis.
Nothing is ever too much trouble for the team. I feel 100% that I made the correct decision choosing Teddies
as our childcare provider.

I can't compare to other settings but for us, this is an amazing nursery. Friendly staff, great with kids. Going above and beyond the standard of care (like preparing different food for a child that does not want to eat a standard meal). My son loves going in. An extra thank you for your work during
lockdown.

I’ve used the nursery for 5 years and found the nursery excellent! The staff were amazing, very friendly just like your friends. My baby boy left there in September for school and we were very sad not to be going there again! Both of my children were very well prepared for school thanks to the nursery
and I’d score them 9/10, only losing 1 point due to poor aircon in the summer otherwise it would be a 10.

Such a brilliant nursery! We changed my daughter’s nursery after moving house and the difference in her is incredible. She loves her nursery days. The staff are excellent and everyone seems to know every child, even those in other rooms. I know my daughter’s getting individual attention and that she’s
in the safest hands every time she goes. She learns loads and has so much to say about her day when we collect her.


The facilities are great also. Lots of bright and airy spaces to run around in, good toys and activities, separate crafting areas and nice outdoor spaces they make great use of. It’s nice there are specific dining areas too and the food the children get makes me envious when I’m taking a boring sandwich to work! Lots of variety and everything prepared fresh on the day.


I can’t recommend Teddies enough. The staff do a brilliant job and I can’t thank them enough for the care and love they give not only my daughter but every child there.

A highly professional, well run and warm-hearted nursery. Our child has recently started at Teddies and settled in far quicker than we expected. This was due in no small part to the outstanding playroom staff who took the time to question me fully about my child and his habits. They showed a thorough
understanding of legislation around the child as well as the daily events that make up a toddlers routine. I felt fully informed and listened to at all times.


My child beams with delight on arrival in the mornings and the staff always greet us with enthusiasm and warmth despite the early hour!


An example of Teddies staff innate catering side was recently demonstrated when my child was ill. His key worker noted he was cold over a period of time and put an extra jumper on him. To me, this showed what notice and attention each individual child receives at Teddies and how safe they are.


An excellent nursery and we are fortunate to have found it!

My baby boy started at the nursery at a very young age in March 2018. All the staff at the nursery made every effort to settle him into nursery life with ease and comfort, which made it easier for my wife to return to work. The baby's routine was mirrored in the nursery to what it was at home. The nursery
staff and cook were able to help guide us through the weaning process. Nothing was too much trouble. Each morning we are greeted and the atmosphere feels very welcoming. A genuine interest is shown towards my child. I am kept well informed regarding his day in nursery, through notifications on Tapestry. I am able to see his care diary as well as any lovely activities and observations they have completed. The nursery is well kept, presented and resourced. My baby is now 13 months old, enjoys his time there. I thoroughly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for an outstanding nursery who genuinely care about each and every child who attends.

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.
