Lovely nursery with very friendly and communicative staff. Daily updates via the app with photos. Varied activities. Stay and play sessions, open weekends. Soft play on-site is a brilliant addition. I had one child just in the preschool (graduated 2022) and one now in pre-school who went through the
baby and toddler groups too. They've both been brilliantly looked after and are/were always happy on pick up.

We have been so happy with the care and attention our child has received at The Little School Nursery. The staff are always very welcoming and informative and he clearly has a great time. We love seeing the daily updates and seeing the pictures of him and his friends as well as a bit about the activity.
The menu is great and varied and it's great to see you have lots of different type types of food. Highly highly recommend Little School Nursery to everyone.

We are very happy with the care our daughter receives at the nursery. They provide a wide range of activities developing various skills, they encourage independence and have a lovely team who look after her. Both key workers have been great and kind for her. The communication from the nursery is great
too, you get detailed breakdowns of the days and are kept up to date with what they are doing. They also listen to your needs and routines and happily fit them in to what they are doing. I also really like that they take them out to the park in nicer weather. This is the second child the nursery has looked after for us. Our eldest left them ready for school.

My son attended this nursery from when he was 5 months old. He is now 4 and just left a week ago as he started school. He had a fantastic time there but I have to admit the main thing that I won't ever forget is how caring and loving his carers have been. I was in tears on the last day as they were
like second mothers to him. The learning was great and my son is autistic. Because of the head of SEND, we got a quick diagnosis and now he will receive more support. They discovered very quickly what my son is mainly interested in and they focused on that also and developed his love for animals which I know will be lifelong.
The food he loved from when we started weaning and their food is delicious and healthy. He always ate all his food. They also helped me potty train my son even though it was challenging because of his autism. He is now potty trained.
He has made wonderful friends there who we will stay in contact with. The carers have planted seeds that will grow forever.

Reply from Sonny, Marketing at The Little School Daycare

Your review brought tears to our eyes -thank you for sharing such a heartfelt reflection. It's been an honour to care for your son from 5 months old through to school age. Your kind words about our team being like "second mothers" is the highest compliment we could ever receive. We're so proud to have supported his growth, including his love for animals, his diagnosis journey, and even potty training! We know the seeds planted here will grow into something wonderful. Wishing your family all the best- please stay in touch!

Amazing Nursery, my child has a brilliant time here and is well looked after.
We get learning reports and daily updates on how our child is doing and you can see the level of excellent care provided by the little school nursery.
My child has also come on leaps and bounds from being here and it’s
really noticeable. Every penny is well spent and I feel happy knowing my child is looked after and enjoying being there.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We have had both our children in this nursery over the last 6 years. How wonderful!


Food- Always varied, healthy options with occasional treats.
Observations- Always everyday feedback with an observation diary updated as per the curriculum.
CCTV- Isn't any but I'm also not a fan of having to watch

my child in nursery they do not have this facility in school!
Staff- The nursery staff are very supportive, flexible and caring.
Both children have had fun, structured, expressive and educated experiences here.


Wasn't a fan of the new company structure who have taken over and the late policy should be a bit more flexible, especially with all the work that is being carried out in and around the A4.


Will miss this establishment dearly. If you care about the safety, education and well-being of your young child...look no further!

My child is now moving onto reception and has been with the nursery since she turned 2 years old. Overall the nursery experience for my child has been good. One downside to this nursery is the lack of CCTV for parents to view their children throughout the day as an added reassurance. Feedback is always
fair and if there is any challenging behaviour or issues with my child in that session this will be discussed with me - what happened, why it may have happened and what the outcome was.


My daughter walked in shy on her first day and now is very confident with her words, her knowledge about the world, her numeric competency and her social skills. They have made efforts to nurture her personal interests and incorporate them into her learning and play.


I am not a fan of the late Policy as I think it is unfair to charge someone if they are 1 minute late and at least a 5-minute grace should be allowed.

From our initial visit to view the nursery the staff have gone out of their way to get to know my daughter. She has attended The Little School Daycare for almost a year now and loves it. She goes in happily each morning and talks about what she’s done when she comes out. The staff are lovely and the
news of the day email is a wonderful way to know what she’s been up to. My little one moves up into Reception in September and I know her time at The Little School Daycare have more than prepared her for school. Many thanks to everyone at The Little School Daycare.

Our daughter was born in December 2019 which meant her interaction skills with people outside of the home were learnt over video calls during lockdown.
It was a bit of a shock for her to see that people existed in real life. With this in mind, we knew starting daycare would be a challenge but we shouldn't
have worried. The team at the Little School were amazing at settling her into the group. Her confidence has grown each day. The team have assisted with her speech development and helped us potty train her in a matter of weeks. The updates on the app mean you can log on and see your child's progress and achievements. Our daughter enjoyed the activities and especially the soft play room. The Little School has given our daughter a perfect start and we couldn't recommend them enough.

My daughter started a few months ago and settled in really quickly. I think you can always spot a good childcare facility by a gut feeling you have within. I got this feeling before she started and I was most definitely right. It is a lovely daycare facility, the staff are caring and compassionate and
have a lot of patience. (My daughter can be a little rogue at times) She is always happy when coming home and looks forward to going, which is also a good sign. I have experienced them working with me on a few struggles like fussy eating and potty training and my daughter has improved on both early learning tasks. I am happy and my daughter is happy, which is what is important.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.227)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.227) out of 10 for The Little School Daycare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 14 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 4.737 for The Little School Daycare is calculated as follows: ( (125 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.737

  • 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 4.49 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Little School Daycare is based on 14 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 143 number of registered child places is 28.6. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 28.6 = 0.49

  • 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.
