Friendly staff with a clean, open, healthy atmosphere allowing children to grow, develop and learn. The new investment has meant that new and exciting toys have arrived up and our daughter has greatly enjoyed the new expanded, usable outside space.
The new (electronic) learning profiles are excellent
and the way that we were informed of our child's progress during parents evening was second to none. Our daughter's key worker spent time going through the information thoroughly and advised us on various developmental milestones and ways to support our daughter at home.
The rapport my daughter has with the staff in her room is fantastic and I know that she will miss her teachers in Big Bears greatly when she goes to 'Big School' in September.

I would be more than happy to recommend Teddies Nursery to my friends and family. The staff here are not only friendly and caring, as you would expect, but form a lovely bond with your child. My son has only attended since October 2016 but he has developed immensely in confidence and independent skills.
He is happy to go to nursery in the morning and reluctant to leave at collection time, which can only reflect well on the nursery and how much he enjoys his time there each day. The sensible session times have played a large part in facilitating my return to the workplace secure in the knowledge that he is eating well, playing with children his own age and building his knowledge of numbers, shapes, colours and languages (English and Welsh). The outdoor facilities are compact but have been well considered and the children also take advantage of the local lake for nature rambles.

It's always a pleasure taking my son to Teddy's Nursery. On our first visit, I knew this was the place for my son. I could see how the little ones were having quality interactions with the staff and the other children. Since then, I could not be happier with the nursery. My son spends his time playing,
learning, and growing in so many ways. A big thumbs up from us.

My child started at Celtic Springs when he was 9 months old and has progressed through the different rooms at the nursery. It was important for me that the nursery offered a safe environment, but one where there was room for them to explore and learn. Celtic Springs offered this in abundance and the
facilities for learning through play are excellent. Staff are very attentive and my son loves nursery life. I feel confident that he is well looked after and happy at nursery.
The opportunity for him to go swimming at nursery is fantastic and something you won't get elsewhere. The themed days and events are also well thought out and great for development.
A lovely nursery which I highly recommend. It will be sad to not come here every day in September when my big bear starts big school.

My daughter has been at the nursery from the age of 7 months, she is now 2 and a half. She loves the staff and the environment that they create, she runs in every day and has developed amazingly with the teams support.
The facilities are fantastic, the range of activities is brilliant (yoga this week
has been a massive hit!) and the meals are brilliant.
I have recommended this nursery and with our second child due later this year, there is no doubt that we will be enrolling them when it's time for me to return to work.

It's an excellent nursery, I highly recommend it.
We used to use a different nursery and when we changed to Teddies we saw a huge difference in our daughter's behaviour. She was a lot happier, confident and content.
After a huge success with our eldest, we placed our youngest there too. Although
my eldest has now started reception, she still loves going to Teddies to collect her little sister and staff still make a fuss of her and she loves it there.

My son attends this nursery and has loved it from the minute he has started. The staff are very friendly and caring towards the children.
Everybody makes you feel welcome when you walk in and puts a smile on my son's face.
He is learning so much, things I didn't think he would do at his age and
the feedback at the end of the day is great.

I would highly recommend Teddies Nursery. I have been using the nursery for the last 5 years with my eldest and now youngest child.
I have visited lots of nurseries recently but only due to our house move, and I can't find one that even comes close. The staff are excellent with my son and have
been a huge help with keeping his eczema at bay. They are very friendly and informative of his day, and my son talks about the staff a lot when at home. The only suggestion I would make is to be a little bit more flexible with regards to fees/sessions, I would hugely benefit from paying per hour so that I could tailor my childcare a bit easier.
Overall this is a fantastic nursery, which is very clean throughout.

I cannot recommend Teddies nursery highly enough, they have been fantastic, always available to provide helpful advice and listen to any concerns regarding the progress of my daughter. This includes how to help her progress and manage sometimes difficult behaviour, helping her to develop.
The nursery
encourages positive behaviour and the improvement in my daughter's development since attending here from age 7 months is evident. The quality of this nursery and its staff is excellent.

My only niggle really is that I don't know the names of the girls looking after my son, would benefit I think from them all wearing name badges.
Maybe a review of the child's progress perhaps twice a year instead of yearly.

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

Name badges for staff has recently been introduced to help make it easier for parents to remember everyone's names. We also have a staff member board outside the main office with photographs.

This is a fantastic place for children to learn and develop life skills. My daughter has attended for the last 3 years and loves it. The staff are amazing and so lovely with the children. The food is always different and allows them to try different food they may not try and eat at home. My daughter
the other day came home telling me all about Chinese New Year and had made a lantern. All in all this nursery is wonderful and can't fault a thing.

When I was first shown around the nursery I was extremely impressed with the amount of space the children have, compared to other nurseries where children are cramped into small rooms. The staff are extremely friendly and give great up dates at the end of the day along with greeting the children lovely
in the morning. I will say just one minor issue is I would like to be informed of my child's key person and introduced properly. Due to my son having convulsions I was also relieved to see the nursery has CCTV so I can log on during the day and see how he is doing and put my mind at rest. I am very happy with his development and learning and have great pleasure in hearing what they have been up to every day!!

Lovely nursery, lots of exciting activities for the children with a topical theme. All staff are very caring to my son. He enjoys going to nursery and there's always a very varied menu for meal times. Very convenient location and opening hours. Would definitely use this nursery if we had another child.

My child has been coming to the nursery for almost 2 years and although he cries in the morning when leaving him, during the day he then loves it and sometimes he doesn't want to come home! All the staff, starting from the baby room upstairs, the little bears and now the big bears, is fantastic and
they do a great job. My older daughter used to come here 10 years ago when the nursery was just opened and when it was time for us to choose a nursery for the little one, we didn't have any doubt in coming back here.
The food is very good, my child loves it, the other day he even told me that he prefers the school lasagna to mine!
The only concern I have is with the outside car park, as especially during winter the lack of lights makes it very dark when collecting the children in the evening.

I love Teddies Nursery but my daughter loves it more! The staff are fantastic with her and I have total peace of mind that she's having a lovely day with her friends whilst I'm at work. They offer her lovely healthy food and if she turns her nose up at anything they always give her an alternative making
sure she's eating well. This was a big issue for me with my son's nursery (he'd often go all day without proper food) so it was something I really looked out for when I chose Teddies to look after my daughter.

We are delighted with the high level of care our son is receiving at the nursery. He has been going for 5 months and the progress he has made socially has been fantastic to witness. He is learning and absorbing a tremendous amount. The nursery provides a really caring environment asking how he is every
day and giving me a complete run through of his day. I am very happy and confident leaving him here as I know he is safe and cared for.

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.
