Our daughter loves going to nursery at the Little School! She joined 1 year ago when she was only 9 months old and she has been looked after amazingly by the staff. She has improved and developed in so many areas as they follow each child and help them to grow their skills and reach milestones according
to the child’s own lead. Lots of fun activities and my daughter loves her carers so much! We are really happy with our experience and would definitely recommend it!

Both my children have attended The Little School - my youngest just left to go to reception. They both had so much fun and love while they were there, from the staff. They have been nurtured into little independent people. The staff were informed and caring and I couldn't have been happier with the
level of education and love they received. The communication was great, the accounts department was efficient. They were also flexible where possible, to accommodate my family's schedule (shift working parent). I couldn't recommend them enough and we are sorry that this is the end of our journey with them.

My little girl started Little School when she was 10 months old and left to go to primary school. I also have a son who has been at the Little School since he was 10 months old and he still attends. I’ve been very happy with the care both children received. My experience with the nursery has been exceptional
and I would recommend the nursery to anyone who is looking for a caring, nurturing environment for their child.

My son joined the Little School Daycare in summer 2018 and I cannot express enough how lovely and caring this nursery is. All staff are nice. They go above and beyond to help and accommodate your needs/requests. My son is due to start primary school and it is a bittersweet experience not having to pick
him up from nursery anymore. A huge thank you to The Little School staff.

I would like to say a huge thank you to the Little School Daycare Team. My daughter has attended since she was 11 months. She has recently left to embark on reception. The team have always been responsive to any feedback and very efficient. My daughter cried at drop-offs for almost two years and the
staff were always reassuring. A huge thank you.

The Little school nursery is the best. My twins attended from 14 months old until they left to go to reception. The Little School gave the best preparation for school. The staff genuinely care about my children and treat them very much as individuals, taking great care to support their particular needs
and interests. My twins flourished very well during the time spent at the nursery. All the departments at the nursery were flexible, understanding and supportive of our family life. They have managed the re-opening of the nursery following the Covid-19 pandemic: every detail has been carefully thought through in a bid to ensure a safe return for the children and staff members. The twins were very sad when they left the nursery. I have taken them back since for a visit.

I cannot recommend The Little School enough, they have been amazing these past 2.5 years. The level of care and interest they show each individual child was so reassuring, and I always felt totally confident leaving my little one there, knowing that not only will he be cared for, but that his days were
enriching and fun!

My son attended from 1-5-years-old and has the best memories of this wonderful family nursery. The staff are caring, the space and facilities are amazing, and the children learn so much and have a great time there. Highly recommended.

My son has attended this setting since he was 6 months old. He has been welcomed and cared for by staff beautifully. During COVID the nursery had to close but I was so happy that they decided to re-open in July with sound safety measures. It meant so much to him to be able to go back to nursery, albeit
a different one (set-up/covid-19 precautionary procedures). He formed bonds with his key workers throughout.

Reply from Vanessa Gyasi, Marketing at The Little School Daycare

Hello Lisa,
I just wanted to say thank you very much for this great review. We work very hard behind the scenes to try and make the nursery as safe as possible so we really appreciate it when parents see our efforts.


Thank you for taking the time out to write this review.

Lovely, nurturing nursery that I cannot recommend highly enough. We have had 2 children attend, and each has had a fantastic experience, forming close bounds with key workers who are amazing. Several years after my first child left many of the staff are the same and remember and talk to her at pick-up/drop
off. Also great facilities especially outside spaces for London and also the soft play. Very impressed with level of detail and planning in activities around development.

My child has been at The Little School since she was two years old, she is now almost five and has graduated to Reception. The staff there are incredible and became like family to us, I always felt that she was so safe and happy with them. My daughter was also very well prepared for school and could
not wait to start. The staff turnover is very low, they are flexible with their sessions and the preschool site has been consistently rated outstanding by OFSTED in all areas. This is the best nursery in the area by far, we even moved further away but kept her place at the nursery as we were so happy with it. Would recommend to all.

I cannot recommend The Little School highly enough. Our son attended from a year old until he left to go to the reception, and I really do feel The Little School has given him the best possible start and preparation for school. The staff genuinely care about the children and treat them very much as
individuals, taking great care to support their particular needs and interests (including dealing with dietary requirements). They also deal with discipline exceptionally well - nothing gets missed, and any issues are managed calmly and in a measured way. I also commend them for the way in which they have managed the re-opening of the nursery following the Covid-19 pandemic: every detail has been carefully thought through in a bid to ensure the safe return for the children and staff members. I only wish they ran a primary school too!

Our son has been going to the nursery since he was one year old, I can't really add to the other reviews except totally agree. The nursery is superb, friendly staff, organised, structured playing through learning, just overall amazing. I would highly recommend this nursery.
However, I want to highlight
how good their SENCO support is. Our son had learning difficulties (due to hearing issues) and the SENCO team went way above what would normally be expected to support him with his SEN needs. The nursery has continually surprised us by investing in teaching aids (wobble cushions, social stories, key cards etc), helped liaise with the local authority for funding and throughout his time there they ensured that he is totally integrated with the rest of his cohort - inclusion at its best. The outcome has been amazing, our son has flourished and now needs very little support and is totally ready for school!
We cannot thank the Little School, and its staff, enough.

Very caring staff who listen to individual needs. It's a very calm and light environment with plenty of indoor and outdoor space that's appropriate for the children's age. The longevity of the staff is great, they always stay for long periods and we used this nursery for our first child.

The Little School Daycare is an excellent nursery. For the last 14 months my daughter has flourished under their care. Across 3 different rooms (ages) all the staff have put her needs first while also being understanding and flexible to family life. We are happy with our decision to attend Little School
and it makes our lives so much easier knowing she is so happy when she isn't with us.

The Little School Daycare has provided a great start for our son. He's developed his communication and social skills greatly and has been encour\aged to pursue
his interests in music and stories. The staff are wonderful and genuinely care about the children and the facilities are great.

Our daughter has attended the nursery since summer. We could not be happier with the care, organisation and staff at The Little School Daycare. Our daughter is known by all of the staff and the positive relationships between staff and the children are a tribute to the success of this institution. The
communication between key staff and ourselves are exceptional. The dialogue between the daycare and parents is second to none and because of this, we feel secure for our daughter's well-being, safety and development. I could not be happier.

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.
