Attentive staff, lovely space, great vibes - our son loves Little People. We're very lucky to have this place on our doorstep. The decoration of the nursery is ever-changing, a great sign that the kids are always doing lots of fun, artistic activities!

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you for your kind words. The staff in the nursery are always creating imaginative spaces for creative play and fun sessions. Learning through these activities is the most effective way of teaching little people.

As soon as we visited this nursery we knew it was the right place for our little one. All the staff at Little People of Fulham are incredibly kind, loving, knowledgeable and care enthusiastically about the children and the standard of care and teaching they provide. The emails and information we receive
on a regular basis from the director are much appreciated, regarding the nursery itself but also wider education on early years development. We will be so sad to reach our final day at this nursery, our little one is always so happy when I pick them up, they have lovely friendships with other children and regularly talk about what they have been doing. The nursery is busy, bright, colorful and always full of the children's artwork, which we love to see. The extra curricular activities for the children are wonderful and they have a wonderful large studio space it addition to the rooms, to be able to fully embrace it. I feel very fortunate to have had our little one there for his early years.

Amazing nursery and a very nurturing place for our little one. She has attended from the baby room to Montessori and has absolutely loved each room. The care, warmth and patience of the staff is truly amazing!

I have two children attending this nursery, one aged four and one aged one, and I have been delighted by the level of care we have received over the past three years. The staff, many of whom are long-serving, are devoted to the children and the range of activities provided is impressive - the older
children do swimming, ballet, gymnastics, football, music and Spanish alongside their normal routines. I would happily recommend this nursery as a place that truly has people at its heart.

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you for your kind words. We love our days with the children and we always strive to improve the experiences of the children in our care and our long-serving team enables us to make this happen.

Our daughter has been attending since she was 9 months. The ladies looking after her are warm and loving and I could not have been happier to leave my child with them. The creativity and fun activities and encouragement she gets on a daily basis are incredible too. We are very sad to leave Little People
due to moving out of the area. Thank you so much to all the staff of Little People, we will miss you.

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you for your kind words. You will be very much missed at Little People. I am so pleased that you had such a great impression of the level of care that all the staff provide at our nursery. Good luck with your new adventure.

I don't know where to start! My husband and I love the Little People of Fulham nursery so much that we would be lost without it! We feel incredibly lucky to be able to send our daughter there. Every single person among the staff is exceptionally kind, skilled and very clearly care about the children
a lot. We can relax knowing that not only our daughter is looked after with a lot of warmth and care, but also that she is learning and developing her social skills in a safe and supportive environment.

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you, we love caring for your child too, and I am so pleased that you are able to acknowledge the amazing staff team that we have. We invest in our team in both training and mentoring, but also we try to be a family and I am pleased to see that this is evident to you as parents.

Little People Nursery is absolutely amazing! My two kids (3.5 and 1.5 years old) have been going there since they were around 7 months old, and I couldn't be happier. The staff are so loving and caring, always going above and beyond for the kids. The activities they do are way better than anything we
could manage at home and really grow with them as they get older. Plus, the food is super healthy and nutritious! Both my kids love heading there in the morning. They've made real friends and have such a great connection with the staff. The team is also fantastic with parents and have been so supportive when we needed them. Little People is such a special place, and I can't recommend it enough!

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you for such kind comments. Every aspect of our care at Little People is carefully monitored and managed. We are delighted to make another addition to our extracurricular activities next year and are thrilled to introduce woodwork to our termly program. We have also just been awarded our new Healthy Early Years Bronze award at Little People of Fulham and will be working towards the Silver award in the Spring. Thank you for appreciating the level of love and care the staff provide at Little People, they truly are special people.

This nursery is wonderful. Our son started this year, and the care and support he has received has been amazing. The staff are all super friendly, and consistently kind. His development since going has been great to watch, and I know he looks forward to his days at nursery.

Both of my children have attended Little People, and I cannot express enough gratitude to the nursery and its wonderful staff for their exceptional care, attention, and commitment to education. The staff consistently go above and beyond, creating a nurturing environment where children thrive. My older
daughter, now in school, still enjoys visiting her former nursery teachers, who remain genuinely interested in her ongoing development. My youngest daughter absolutely loves her time there-she runs in every morning with a big smile on her face, eager to start her day. The facilities are outstanding, offering a perfect blend of indoor and outdoor learning opportunities. For children aged 3 and above, the additional activities such as trips, swimming, and ballet are fantastic enhancements that enrich their experience. I honestly cannot recommend Little People of Fulham more highly- it's an incredible nursery that fosters a love of learning and a strong sense of community.

Wonderful nursery designed to support children's developmental needs and prepare them for subsequent primary education. We enrolled our three-year-old child in the Early Years Foundation Stage (Montessori) in September 2023. Little People had been warmly recommended to us by a friend whose child already
attended the nursery. The experience was highly beneficial for our child's holistic development thanks to individual attendance afforded by the carers/educators and management staff and the variety of outdoor and indoor educational and cultural activities which stimulated our child's growth. We are grateful for the time our child spent at Little People, and will gladly recommend it to others.

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you so much for your very kind words. We are so pleased to be recognised in this way, especially all the extracurricular activities and cultural trips and events that we access each year. We highly value these enrichment events which are in addition to all of our weekly classes in the nursery.

Our son absolutely loves going to nursery thanks to the incredible team at Little People of Fulham! This is our second child going there and we cannot recommend it enough. Being a teacher myself, I have been impressed by the dedication, care and professionalism of the staff at all levels. The plethora
of activities organised on a daily basis is great and really helps our little one flourish in a safe and happy environment.

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you very much for your kind review. Our wide range of not only Montessori education but our extracurricular activities of Ballet, Yoga, Gymnastics, Swimming, Forest School, Music and Spanish lessons all add to an enriched education our children receive at Little People of Fulham but nothing is more important than the love and care each child receives each day.

Our son has been at Little People since 2021 and started when he was 5 months old. We've always been extremely happy with this nursery, where the staff is very supportive and caring. The different rooms are well organised and each child is transitioning to the next room/age group in a very smooth way.
You get updated on your kid's activities via daily updates on an app, which is great. There are lots of activities throughout the year and our son has become passionate about the baby yoga sessions!
Fees are in the same range as similar nurseries in the area. The illness policy is also standard. The nursery is only closed 2 weeks per year, which is great when parents are both working. We highly recommend Little People of Fulham!

Our son has been going to this nursery for about a year now and we couldn’t be happier. The staff is fantastic, they have more than once gone out of their way to care for him and make sure we are up to date with everything that’s happening.
Communication is excellent and the other children and parents,
very welcoming.

Having just recently moved to the area, we were worried about our child settling into a new school, but the love and care shown by the staff have made the transition seamless. Never before has my son had such individualised attention in a school/daycare setting. We’ve seen him blossom and he’s so happy
to go to school every day. I can’t say enough about his wonderful carers.

Our little girl has been enjoying Little People since she was just 4 months old. Two years on, she has grown into a little character full of energy, happiness and curiosity. The team at Little People really give her the best care and has helped so much in the journey of her personal development - growing
from a little baby to a confident toddler. The team has a good busy schedule to keep the babies engaged, and active and really encourage their creativity development by including lots of art, music and yoga sessions in the week. They also have a good chef and an amazing food menu each week. The team uses an app to notify me what she has eaten and how long she napped etc - which is handy. She has made so many friends there and looks forward to going to the nursery every morning. Every time I drop her off or pick her up she is always happy. I give Little People a 5-star review because I know my little one enjoys going there each day!

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you for your kind words. Every child is special and we at Little People recognise that and aim to give them all the fun and laughter we can throughout the day.

Our 3 year old is incredibly happy at Little People. The staff are so caring and we witness her progress and advancement with things we would not think to teach her at home. The other children and parents are lovely and Little People facilitate gatherings so we meet. Little People have a clear curriculum
and make local and global events and themed days a big deal which adds to the excitement. We love this community.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.873)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.873) out of 10 for Little People of Fulham 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 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.873 for Little People of Fulham is calculated as follows: ( (368 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 417 Ratings = 4.873

  • 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 People of Fulham is based on 35 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 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 35 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.
