Our Daughter has been attending Little People of Fulham for nearly 1 year, joining when she was a year old. We are so thrilled in all aspects of the nursery. She took some time to settle to nursery care as opposed to home care, but the care, dedication, perseverance and love the staff showed her have
paid off and she loves nursery. To see pictures of her doing such a huge range of indoor, outdoor and fun activities, learning more than we could teach her and making relationships is so important. The staff go above and beyond, even more so in the current COVID environment, to make the children happy, develop them and inform us as parents so we can engage after the nursery day.
The menu of homemade meals each week shows a huge variety with carefully sourced ingredients.
I truly believe the nursery goes above and beyond to care and nurture every child, and the results of such happy children speak for themselves.

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. It has been a tough few months but the children have kept us going, and all the lovely messages from parents have given us the boost we needed. I am pleased that you enjoy the information of her day on the app, and this gives a little snap shot of all the lovely activities we do in the nursery each and every day. Staff and children eat our lovely meals together, and this helps promote healthy eating habits for all the children. Thank you for all your support, over these past few months and we appreciate the time this review has taken to write. I will be delighted to share it with the staff

I would have no hesitation in recommending Little People. Our daughter, now 3, has been going since she was 8mths. Of particular credit to the nursery are the brilliant staff, many who have been with the business for over 10yrs providing stability for children and parents alike. They are full of fun,
energy and enthusiasm for the children, and really encourage them to get involved in so many activities. The role of the nursery in the current COVID Crisis was particularly commendable providing much-needed childcare and warm meals for keyworkers. In addition, it meant that they were well placed to provide a safe return for children, and my daughter has loved being back. While several things have understandably changed her enjoyment in attending has not diminished, and this is testament to the team always wanting to put the children first.

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you very much for your lovely review of our staff and service. We do take a huge amount of pride in the work we do each and every day and your comments are very much appreciated. We wanted to be open for the key worker parents during the Covid crisis, and the staff were amazing at how they all stepped up to the challenge, focused on the needs and the welfare of the children in our care, and then looked at how we could support the parents throughout this difficult time. Our focus now is to ensure that all the children have lovely summer days, full of fun and laughter and lots of outside play, and we believe that this has been achieved following all the guidance, and some of the new changes we have made in the adaption; we now intend to keep permanently as they are working so well. Thank you again; it's lovely to have all the children back.

I am a keyworker and during these challenging times, Little People have been invaluable to us. My son was able to attend nursery when many children his age could not. He settled in quickly given that most of his friends were not there for a few weeks - and the staff went above and beyond their usual
duties to ensure that the children were safe and happy during a very scary time. As if this were not enough, Little People also provided food to keyworkers at the end of the day - a godsend after a long day at work. Amazingly thoughtful and I cannot thank them enough for their care and consideration. My son is growing in leaps and bounds and he is reaching and exceeding his milestones. He jumps out of my arms and bounces into nursery because he cannot wait to see his teachers and friends. His happiness and sense of security at Little People is beautiful to see. Thank you to all of you for your dedication and your big hearts.

Reply from David Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you for so much for your kind words and lovely comments about the care and commitment of the staff. We were very proud to be open at Fulham throughout the lockdown for the key worker staff's children and to know it was really appreciated by the parents is really rewarding.

We are really happy that we chose Little People for our son, the staff are really friendly and caring and really involved with the children. Our son is quite shy and struggled to settle in initially but now he's excited to go and talks about the staff at home. They seem to get genuinely excited as well
when he reaches a new development milestone, showing that they really do care. They also were brilliant through the coronavirus outbreak, putting people first, communicating clearly and promptly and again demonstrating a caring attitude. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you so much for your kind words. We have worked really hard to ensure that all the children transition back to the nursery with love, care and attention. Putting the children first is what we always try to do.

Our son has been attending Little People of Fulham for the last 2.5 years and our daughter also went to Little People (for 3.5 years). We couldn't be happier. Our children love all of the staff. And it is obvious why. In every age group, both our children loved their key workers as well as all the other
staff, who are very loving and caring. Last week, when our son started going back to nursery after the lockdown, he loved it instantly again. No tears, no drama, despite a 3-month break. He simply loves this place and keeps talking about the teachers and all the activities at home. Our daughter, who is very happy at "big school", even asked us recently if she can go back to nursery during the summer.

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

We loved having all the children back and can't wait to see more come back very soon. Through these difficult weeks, the children have kept us all grounded and we were able to join in all the fun too.

Our son started attending the nursery last June, having to move him from his last nursery. He has flourished here! All staff are extremely attentive and super engaged with all children focusing on each child's needs. Our son also suffers from multiple food allergies and the nursey has been able to cater
for him very professionally without excluding him from group activities. We would recommend the nursery without any hesitation.

We are very happy with the nursery. Our main objective is for our child to be attended by professional staff who have a long experience with children. The staff are very accessible as well as the management and that is one of the advantages of a local nursery. It is a difficult job to do and we are
very happy with the current staffing.
There are many opportunities and activities offered to the children and they really seem to love it. We never had one day where our child was crying after we left.
Also, we have not noticed any new nonsense gender-free methods that are introduced in some nurseries. We would immediately remove our child if that was to be introduced.

Deeply human and genuinely caring nursery staff.


I feel rest assured every day that my girl is taken good care of. While Little People of Fulham may seem a bit small, the teachers more than make up for it and the outdoor area is super nice.


I'm amazed by my 3-year-old daughter telling me about

all the bones in the human body, continents, seasons, numbers, showing me her ballet and yoga skills and talking to me in Spanish.


I'm very happy my little one goes to Little People Nursery.

We love Little People of Fulham! The practitioners are all kind and warm and our 11 month old daughter loves spending the day with them. The nursery is well managed and has great facilities. We love getting regular updates from the practitioners that let us know what our daughter has been doing, whether
she has slept and what she has had for lunch. The nursery organises well thought out programmes of activity and sends excellent communications and newsletters. We are so glad that our daughter goes to this nursery!

My son has been with Little People since he was 14 months and he is now nearly 3. The staff at Little People are incredible and have given my son the best loving care I could have hoped for. We, unfortunately, are relocating out of London, otherwise, we would stay with Little People until he reaches
school age. His time with Little People has helped make him into the awesome little person he is growing up to be. They helped me through a difficult settling in process, have encouraged him to flourish throughout his development and recently assisted with potty training. They are very collaborative about the children's care and keep parents as up-to-date as possible, especially with the new app. Would absolutely recommend this nursery to anyone in the Hammersmith/Fulham area. Will very much miss it!

The staff are very friendly, helpful and I'm sure all the children past and present will never forget them. My daughter has a particularly good relationship with many of the staff members from across the board and always comes home with stories about all the fun stuff she got up to in the day. The girls
are very good role models for her and I absolutely love them and all too pieces. They not only care for the children but I can see their genuine interest in the children's well being is at their core. This makes me feel at ease dropping her off as I know she will be treated equally and fairly at all times. My daughter has a very specific diet and when requested, the staff were happy to facilitate her dietary needs which I found to be amazing as not every establishment would be so accommodating.


Thank you, Little People of Fulham!

Both my Daughters aged 18 months and 3 1/2 have settled really well in the nursery thanks to the loving and caring staff. I always found everyone to be very friendly and welcoming. I know my daughters are well looked after and kept busy with lots of activities. My 3 year old particularly enjoys ballet,
forest school and soft play. She has really thrived here and learnt to count to 20 and recognises a few letters. Very happy with the nursery overall and would highly recommend it.

We have been so happy with the love and care that our son has had at Little People of Fulham. Starting him at one, we were nervous he was too young but soon our fears were allayed and he settled well. We have seen him grow in confidence and he has benefitted from spending time with other children his
age. The staff are dedicated and clearly also love our son as much as us!

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.
