Little Miracles Day Nursery is a 50 place setting located in Chingford on the 212 bus route. The nursery (formerly a library) is spread over 3 floors and has spacious outside play areas across three sides of the building allowing children lots of outside play opportunities for all age groups.

There is also a large outside play area designed for babies and toddlers separate from the preschool garden.   What is unique about Little Miracles is that it has a 'home from home' feel to it.   It's a very family friendly and welcoming setting, which parents can relate to and have confirmed during many surveys.

The teachers are qualified and experienced and have the children's learning and development at the heart of everything they do. To get more information about Little Miracles, please call the nursery or email to arrange a visit or to request a parents information brochure.

My son joined the nursery in the baby room in April. He had a brilliant experience there, became much more confident, his vocabulary improved massively and he was looked after so well. All of the time we are surprised by how much he knows. The staff had a real and genuine care for him and he developed
a close bond with them and his friends in that room.
In October he moved up to the toddler room. He has continued to progress with his speaking, understanding of the world, and his counting. He has been taught to be polite, to treat others with care, and to enjoy a brilliant range of activities. He is excited to go to nursery every day and leaves every evening with a smile. Throughout the day we are kept well updated and staff are very responsive to messages.

All staff at nursery are kind and compassionate. My little one is happy to go into nursery and settled in very quickly and has formed a bond with her key person and teachers. Teachers are very attentive to her needs and nursery management is quick to respond to queries and concerns. The nursery hosted
an event for Halloween which was very nice. The nursery is spacious and bright. I would recommend this to others who are considering sending a child into a nursery setting. My little girl has made a few strides in her communication since starting at Little Miracles Chingford. They often go on nature walks and outings (weather permitting) and we receive photos regularly. We are very happy with the establishment.

My daughter's face lights up when I tell her she is going to nursery, so that says a lot. I really like it, there is a lot of one-on-one attention, the outdoor space is safe and clean and they make the most of it. Her key worker is lovely and all the staff know my daughter well. It has a real family,
homely feel to it. So glad I found it.

My child has been attending since May and 2024, I am very pleased with the nursery. The amount of effort they put in, they are always updating the parents through the app which helps me understand everything from what she has eaten to her naps and nappy changes etc.
They also pay attention to detail
so if my daughter is not herself they will let me know and keep me updated on how her day has been.
The staff are all so friendly and lovely and I have seen how well they take care of the children and as a working parent, I feel confident that my child's needs are being met.

Our daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 6 months old. She was then exclusively breastfed and it took some time to get her used to bottles of pumped breast milk. The nursery has been very supportive with this process which helped the transition for both of us. Our daughter also had
some physical challenges and the nursery staff have been very supportive in helping us implement strategies recommended by her physio. Our daughter has always been happy to go to the nursery and now as she is almost 2 she tells us little stories about what she did in the nursery, about her friends and practitioners. Communication and responsiveness to the needs of the child and parents’ requests has been second to none. We couldn’t be happier with our nursery choice.

What an amazing nursery to send my child to! My son started there at two years old and was a shy child and now is a loud and confident child. He is always so happy to go to nursery he is learning so much as his journey continues with them. The most amazing staff and management team, I wouldn’t trust
anyone else with him.
Thank you so much Little Miracles!

Little Miracles is a great nursery with a real family feel to it. My son started at sixteen months and is now two and a half. He has made huge progress in all areas of his development. In particular, his speech has developed at a rapid pace since moving into the toddler room.


My son has built strong

and loving relationships with all of the staff, but especially his key worker- he talks about the staff and wants to see them when he is not at nursery. The nursery staff have been consistent since my son started, and this has allowed him to build strong relationships, whilst feeling secure and supported.


The children go on regular outings to the library, forest and park which my son always comes home excited to tell me about. The food is amazing, with a good selection of healthy meals and snacks.


The only minor issue has been the change in managers, but this hasn't had a direct effect on my child, there just seems to be a lack of continuity in managing staff.

My daughter is in the baby room and has been attending the nursery for eight months now. We couldn't be happier with the nursery, she always runs in with a big smile and is so happy to see all of the staff, she has built an amazing bond with her key person who is very attentive to all of her needs and
communicates well with us about her development and progress and gives detailed feedback at the end of the day. My daughter's language development is developing rapidly as a result of all the stimulation and encouragement from the activities provided within the nursery. All of the staff are very friendly and reassuring and not only support my daughter but also us as parents, as I was originally very worried about bringing her to a nursery but they soon settled all of those anxieties. The outdoor space is amazing as they have individual gardens for the babies, the toddlers, and the preschoolers so they all have age-appropriate space to explore outdoors. We are overall very happy with the nursery.

My three kids all attend the Little Miracle Day Nursery, with the eldest one started in 2017 and left last year, while two younger children still currently attending.


They go to the nursery in the morning with big smiles and they are very happy there. They learn a lot as they are getting great support,

with lots of stimulation and lots of attention from staff.


The nursery provides a homely environment, with freshly cooked meal on site. The garden is big and cosy with lots of outdoor activity equipment and offers enough space for my kids to play with their friends. Part of the outdoor space is also a roofed veranda, where children can play outside even on rainy days.


In the early years, there were some changes on the management level, but since the arrival of the current management, I have the utmost confidence in this place and I highly recommend this nursery to anyone.


Reply from Shyamalie Ranasinghe, Owner/Director at Little Miracles Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your positive feedback. It is lovely to hear that your children are enjoying their time in our setting which, hopefully, will leave a lasting memory when they look back on their early childhood. We are glad to be providing a positive impact on their learning and development.

The environment is very safe, my daughter was always well looked after, well-fed, and always leaving the nursery with

I am a mother of a 2.5-year-old boy, my child has attended the nursery for a while. As a first time mum, you can be very anxious leaving your child in the new setting, however, the excellent staff working with my son and the safe environment has made me feel stress-free. The nursery is very clean and
they have a great garden area for babies as well as for the older group of children with lots of great resources to explore. My child is learning new things every day which makes me very happy. I would highly recommend this nursery to all new mummies as it’s a great setting for young children.

My 4-year-old son attended Little Miracles Day Nursery when he was three years old. During his time there, he progressed greatly in his social skills and eating habits being a fussy eater. The staff are loving, caring, helpful and professional as they could provide information as and when requested.
There is enough space/garden for activities which my son enjoyed. He has now progressed to reception. I would use the nursery again if there was a need as I feel that my child is safe while there.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.743)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.743) out of 10 for Little Miracles Day Nursery 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 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 4.943 for Little Miracles Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (101 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 106 Ratings = 4.943

  • 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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Miracles Day Nursery is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 50 number of registered child places is 10. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.9

  • 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.
