My son has been at this nursery for more than 2 years, he is very happy there, made lots of friends and learned lots of skills. Teachers work really hard to keep them busy and organise activities to nurture them. Bringing ducklings to the nursery was really a nice touch. My son will go to school fully
prepared.

Our daughter is literally running in the corridor of the nursery every morning as she can’t wait to be with her little friends and her carers. They are playing and learning so much in an extraordinary environment! We are delighted.

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

It always gives me a little bit of joy when I see an excited child skipping into the nursery, and I know that all the years of dedication and hard work are evident in your child's experience at Little People of Fulham. Thank you for taking the time to write such a kind review.

My son has attended Little People of Fulham for the past 11 months and I couldn’t be happier. The staff are so kind and work incredibly hard; it’s clear to see how much he loves them all. The meals at nursery are excellent and he is very happy going in every single day. My second child is starting there
later this year and I have no doubts that he too will be very happy at Little People of Fulham!

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you for your kind words. We are always thankful when parents appreciate all the hard work of the staff and the dedication to the children in their care. It is lovely when we have the whole family unit at the nursery and continue our relationship and partnership with our parents.

Friendly staff, caring for children. Plenty of activities promoting creativity and hands on work at young age. Limited space for the number of children, so a bit crowded inside. Outdoor activities could be increased if possible.

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you for your review. Space in the nursery is regulated and we do have other rooms such as our IT room and our Fitness Studio which is used throughout the nursery day. Although our outdoor space is limited, we have created different zones for gardening, construction and STEM activities, as well as bikes and scooters and more physical play. Our ballet, gymnastics, Fulham Football coaching, Yoga and swimming lessons are all part of our weekly physical activities, as well as forest school and daily walks to the park and markets in our special prams all ensure the children have lots of physical exercise and fresh air opportunities throughout the day.

Little People are amazing! They take great care of my child everyday and I feel very supported as a parent. I feel the staff go above and beyond with my daughter and make her feel so loved and cared for. She has developed so much with all the activities and learning she gets at Little People and I credit
this to the staff so much. I love how happy and loving the staff are, I really feel they understand my child and are actively interested in her and what she needs to develop and progress. The facilities are great and the outside space is too but I really believe it’s the people who work there that make this place the wonderful nursery that it is. Childcare is scary and expensive but since day one, Little People have eased any concerns or fears I had and have become an integral part of my early parenting life. I’m proud my daughter goes to such a joyful and caring place.

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

How lovely comments, thank you! You are spot on about the staff and their attitudes towards their work. We are so fortunate to have very special people working for us for so many years. One of our mantras at Little People is "Find the Joy " so I am delighted that you recognise this in your child's daily experiences at Little People of Fulham.

Since my son joined the Little People of Fulham Nursery in the summer of 2022, I have been truly amazed and impressed at the incredible care and pride they take every single day. The team are truly exceptional and radiate warmth, compassion and professionalism when looking after my son and all the children
within their care. I have been in awe of their ability to constantly go above and beyond at every moment, highlighting their desire to provide the best care for little ones on a daily basis. My son is always overjoyed to go to nursery and has truly flourished under the teams dedicated care and guidance. I could not recommend the nursery enough as it has been one of the best decisions we have made!

My son has been going to Little People of Fulham Nursery for over a year, and we couldn’t be happier with our nursery choice. From the very beginning, he’s been supported by amazing practitioners that have helped him throughout his transition from a domestic environment to a class full of other babies/and
then children. We are happy with his daily routine, the amount of time he spends outdoors, and all the wonderful and original activities he takes part in while at the nursery! The staff keep him and his class so busy! Also, he still naps after lunch (and does the same when at home during weekends), which helps him recharge after a busy morning! He has a good relationship with food, and the menus at the nursery are variegated and change seasonally. Overall, we are very happy with the nursery and the way the staff take care of him - you can see that the relationships he has are genuine, and the staff truly love their job!

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you for your very kind words in your review. We are looking forward to lots of lovely special events over the summer months for the children and the parents alike. A well-managed transition from home to nursery is so important for your child's well-being, as are transitions from classroom to classroom. Keeping the children happy is so important to us, and I am thankful that you appreciate the work and the time the staff take during this process.
I will be delighted to share your very kind words with the staff team.

Among the nurseries I tried for my children, this is the top one. Caring teachers, ongoing activities for kids, parents events, outside garden and play area, spacious and full of toys and characters, ongoing updates via the app, continuous communication and newsletter.

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you for your review. We certainly do love what we do each day and aim to give the children lots of wonderful and challenging learning opportunities each day. We constantly review and update our activities and extracurricular activities, as well as monitor and mentor the team. Having lots of fun, we feel is the key to a happy working and learning environment for the children and the staff.

Our 3-year-old son has had a fantastic time at Little People of Fulham. The caring staff, engaging curriculum, and clean, safe facilities have made it the perfect place for him to learn and grow. He loves going there every day, enjoys playing with his friends, and often does not want to leave at the
end of the day! We have seen noticeable improvements in his skills and social interactions. We wholeheartedly recommend Little People of Fulham for a delightful early education experience!

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you for your kind words. From the baby room up to the Montessori class, our teachers and practitioners are very special people who want to give your child the best possible nursery experience. Thank you for taking the time to appreciate all our hard work.

Both of my sons have been attending Little People of Fulham since they were 7 months old. The staff love them both, the children love being there. The staff truly care about the little ones and are caring and attentive. It is not a cheap option for a nursery but we find it worth the money.

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you for your review and kind words. We are passionate about our work and recruit and retain some exceptional staff who love their work. We have to reward our staff with competitive salaries to retain them, and this is reflected in our ability to retain our long-serving dedicated staff. I am delighted that you appreciate how much they love working with your children.

Little People of Fulham is a little gem. It’s a warm and welcoming nursery where the children are cared for and nurtured to an exceptional standard. All the practitioners are outstanding with the children and create amazing bonds with their key children. The management make a real effort to keep the
parents up to date with all activities and put on socials and celebrate events which brings staff and parents together. I feel so happy and comfortable that my daughter attends Little People. Her people and social skills has come on leaps and bounds and she is turning into a polite, well mannered, caring and beautiful little girl which I think I have a lot to thank Little People for.

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

We love working in partnership with our parents and enjoy hosting events where parents and children can enjoy shared experiences.

Thank you for appreciating our lovely team at Little People of Fulham who are so dedicated to this very important work.

Little People is a really warm, nurturing nursery. My daughter is very happy here. Her teachers are kind and attentive and she’s very fond of them. They take a genuine interest in the family of the child too. Activities seem to be well thought out. My daughter constantly brings home the most lovely
artwork and thoughtful cards. All cultures and events are celebrated here. It’s wonderful!

I viewed a small amount of nurseries before Little People of Fulham but as soon as I stepped into the baby room and toured the nursery I knew it would the one for our daughter. Our daughter has been at the nursery for nearly a year and a half and we don't regret the decision one bit. All of the staff
are extremely caring and loving to the children. Our daughter has made great connections with the staff. In terms of general progression we have no concerns at all and she is thriving. She is always singing a new song or talking about her friends and teachers at the nursery.

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you for your lovely review. The staff are vital to delivering high-quality childcare and relationships and we are so fortunate to have so many exceptional members of staff who work so well together as a team. Although our outdoor space is small we do plan for lots of extracurricular activities for the children such as weekly ballet, gymnastics, swimming lessons, yoga, forest school and walks to the parks and local market in our special buggies.

Our son recently began attending Little People of Fulham, and we are already very impressed with the caring atmosphere and outstanding staff. In line with the saying, "It takes a village" Little People Fulham is a small community promoting happiness, education, and development.
The inviting environment
eased our concerns, and the dedicated staff has been instrumental in our son's early progress in reaching developmental milestones. In addition, the team communicates openly with parents, ensuring we stay updated on our child's growth.
In short, Little People of Fulham has swiftly become our go-to childcare community. We wholeheartedly endorse it for any family seeking a nurturing and supportive setting for their young child.

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you for your kind words and we are delighted that you have found your transition from home to nursery such a positive experience. Staff do have such love for their work and I am delighted to know that this is so obvious to you as a parent.

My child was very happy at Little People of Fulham and learnt a lot. The staff have always been so helpful, smiling and super professional. The only thing we were not happy about was the way the heat wave was handled as we were asked to pick up our kids at the hottest moment of the journey, which we
never really understood, and when we emailed their management, we never got any answer.
Thanks for helping her spend some of her, most important, years in such a safe and caring environment.

Reply from David Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you for your review and for praising our dedicated staff and that your child had such a happy time at our nursery. I am sorry there was an issue with communication when we had a heatwave. I know we immediately installed air conditioning units and made the environment as comfortable as possible for the children, but it appears we missed responding to you about your concerns at the time, for which I apologize. Thank you again for taking the time to make a review, it really is appreciated by the staff.

Our boy arrives at nursery every morning literally kicking his legs with excitement and shrieking with joy as we carry him through the front gate! He lurches into his key worker's arms every morning and doesn't even look back as we walk out of the door. We cannot believe how much he has learnt and how
he has grown over this last term with you all.


In August, we dropped off a little boy still using a dummy, so small and sensitive, who didn't like loud noises and needed lots of one on one time. We are now inundated with photos of him gallivanting around the garden, banging on drums, going wild in the ball pit, playing happily and independently and even feeding himself his own lunch. We are blown away by the love and care that he receives every day at school.


Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you so much for your very kind review. We are very proud of our long-serving team who dedicate their day to giving the children all the love and care they can, especially so in the baby room. The staff appreciate the time taken to write your review.

Our son who is now almost two years old has attended Little People of Fulham since he was only seven months old. The lovely staff in the baby room were able to soothe him to sleep even though he used to fall asleep while breastfeeding at home. I was also able to give the nursery bottles with pumped
breast milk which was very important to me. He loves all his teachers which are caring, loving and attentive and he goes to nursery every morning with a big smile.
I can't recommend them enough

Reply from David Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you so much for your lovely comments which are so appreciated by the baby room staff, we are very proud of the caring and dedicated team we have at the nursery and feedback like this is very rewarding to us all.

We would like to thank Little People of Fulham hugely for our time with them, both our children have thrived in the environment there and it is with a heavy heart that our time has now come to an end. The staff have all been incredibly supportive and in particular the Manager and her team who have played
pivotal roles in our children's time with them so we would like to extend extremely warm praise to them all and are very grateful for everything during all the good times and in particular the difficult ones!


We will miss the nursery greatly but will continue to recommend them to our friends as they have been wonderful and constant for us over the past five years or so and have always gone above and beyond the call of duty in all circumstances.


Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you for such kind and warm comments. It has been a pleasure caring for your children and supporting the family as a whole. Our Manager and her team delighted in welcoming your children each day and we hope that they have a wonderful time in their new schools.

Our son has attended Little People of Fulham since he was 1 year old. He is now 3 and we could not be happier with his development and the care he has received since the very first day. As a parent, I think we all value peace of mind and that is exactly what we have found at Little People: we leave
our son with complete peace of mind because we know he is as happy as he can be, well-fed and educated. What else can you ask for? Probably the fact that a) there are not many changes in staff and b) the communication between practitioners/teachers and parents is very good, at least in our experience.

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.
