LaDel’s Day Nursery: A Place to Learn, Play & Grow

At LaDel’s Day Nursery, the team provide a warm, nurturing environment for up to 62 children, from three months to five years old. These early years are a crucial stage of development, where children learn best through play—absorbing knowledge from everything they see, hear, and experience. The nursery is dedicated to fostering curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning through enriching experiences.

The LaDel's Story: A Dream Realised

LaDel’s Day Nursery was founded in 2003, born from the vision of a dedicated mother and early childhood educator. With a degree in Early Childhood Education and a passion for nurturing young minds, she dreamed of creating a space where children feel as safe, loved, and inspired as they do at home. Today, that dream continues to thrive, shaping the lives of countless little learners with joy, exploration, and growth at its heart.

The Space: Designed for Little Explorers

At LaDel’s, every child steps into a world built just for them—spanning 2,000 square metres of inviting indoor spaces and exciting outdoor areas designed to spark creativity.

Indoor Spaces: Soft sensory areas provide comfort for the littlest learners (3 months to 2 years), while older children (2-5 years) enjoy bright, open spaces with imaginative play zones, art stations, and construction areas, encouraging creativity and independence.

Outdoor Adventures: With over 2,000 sqm of nature to explore, children can run, climb, and discover the world around them. From splashing in puddles to digging in the sandpit and enjoying picnics under the sun, they believe outdoor play is just as important as classroom learning, offering endless opportunities for discovery and growth.

At LaDel’s Day Nursery, they are more than just a childcare provider— they are a home away from home, where young minds flourish, friendships blossom, and every day is filled with wonder.

My daughter has been going to this nursery since October 2021, she was 1-years old when she started she is now 2-years old and there have been drastic improvements in her speech, development and overall understanding. I can easily notice changes in my child's behaviour. My daughter always comes home
with smiles and does lots of artwork and cooking when she’s at nursery. The staff and management have excellent communication, LaDel's Day Nursery Ltd is great value for money. I would happily recommend family and friends to this nursery.

Reply from Maizie Bolt, Manager at LaDel's Day Nursery Ltd

Thank you, Ieshia. Your review means a lot to us.
Every child deserves the best possible start in life and we are pleased to be able to provide an enabling environment that has and will continue to support every child's learning and development.

My daughter has been going to the LaDel's Day Nursery for about one year. Since attending I have seen my child's development improve to the point where she is becoming more articulate and during play at home, she has adopted the habits from daycare she has picked up while there by even coming home,
taking off her jacket she starts to pack her toys away without being prompted! This is obviously behaviour my daughter has picked up from being in an environment like LaDel's. The staff are excellent and I would highly recommend any parent consider choosing this facility to send their little ones too. I like to call it a home away from home as my daughter can't wait to leave me once I drop her off. This fills me with confidence every time I leave her for work, that peace of mind is priceless. On that note, I would like to thank all the staff for helping me raise a child.

Absolutely brilliant staff and such a friendly environment. My little man enjoyed LaDel’s and is already missing all the kids and the staff. He is always singing and sharing his knowledge with so much confidence. Thank you all for the wonderful experience you have given us even through the pandemic.
We didn’t miss Christmas, Easter or graduation as it was all done through Zoom. Very very well organisation.

The manager is an amazing nursery manager and her caring skills are second to none. When my children are at the nursery it feels like a home away from home. They are so comfortable and relaxed whilst with the staff. She has put in place substantial COVID safe measures reassuring me of my children's
safety. My baby loves one of the staff in the baby room. It is amazing how accommodating they have been throughout my children's nursery and pre-school journey. My youngest started from 16 weeks and the effort of the staff was impeccable, helping me wean her off breastfeeding. I have recommended the nursery to other family members and would not take my children elsewhere.

I am extremely pleased with LaDel's nursery; this is my second child at the institution.
My son, who currently attends the nursery, was very clingy to me prior to him starting, and I was also clingy to him.
He adjusted to the nursery straight away on day one and now looks forward to going each day.
I
was comforted on the first day as the nursery provider Maize, rang me to give me an update, that my son was OK and settling well, and this comforted me.
The nursery is very clean, spacious and inviting.
The environment is well kept and visually pleasing, the property is safe and secure.
The staff are well trained, polite and well experienced.
I am also happy that the nursery has a uniform.
My son has shown progress with each day of attendance, his speech is becoming more fluent, and he has started to sing his ABC.
I am thankful for this nursery as I am not sure what I would do without them, and would happily recommend it to any parent needing a nursery for their child/children.

This is a lovely nursery run by friendly staff. My nephew has grown and developed so much over the past year and I see the difference in his progress when he is not attending nursery. His speech and number counting impress me every day and I can tell he enjoys being there. The outdoor grounds of the
nursery are lovely and the nursery is adjacent to a park which is a bonus. I would definitely recommend this nursery and I am happy that my nephew is in great hands.

Our son was at LaDels from 6-months until 3 and a half years old. He was extremely happy and well taken care of. His development and skills were amazing, his confidence skyrocketed through his time there. To date, he misses his friends and the staff. If we had not moved he would have stayed at LaDel's.
We will forever be grateful to everyone at LaDel's for the love, kindness and caring for our son and our family. He had turned out to be a super little man and is very much ready for big boy school - thanks to you all.

As a first time mother, I was very nervous to leave my son and return back to work. I searched and viewed over 20+ nurseries before LaDel's. I was recommended LaDel's Nursery by my Godson’s mother as I was struggling to find a nursery that I was satisfied with. The manager gave me a tour around the
nursery and walked me through their daily routine and procedure, I felt at peace and very safe. The large outdoor field. The set up of the nursery and the hygiene - brilliant!
My son absolutely loves the nursery, the staff, the kids and all the outdoor cars/slides. The staff started potty training him from 18 months and he has done amazing! I’m so proud and pleased with all the work and effort they have put in. He has just turned 2 years old and he’s talking very clearly, singing all day long, counting to 20, dressing himself, putting his shoes on and so much more! The staff are very friendly and engaging. You can tell they are passionate about their role. I would highly recommend!

My daughter spent over two years at LaDel's, and those years have been a good foundation for my daughter. She can identify letters, numbers, objects, colours etc as well as being able to sing, engage in light exercises, which gladden my heart lots. Their staff are friendly whenever I have a conversation
with them. Also, the school environment is encouraging with lots of modern equipment to engage with.
Importantly, my daughter improvement is really encouraging, and I’m happy about this.

Since joining the nursery a few years ago, our eldest who is now in primary school and her 2 younger sisters (4 and 2 years) have all attended LaDel's Day Nursery. We were so impressed with the nursery that we had our 2-year-old start at one. The girls have all benefitted from continuous and effective
learning mixed with lots of fun in a bright environment. We love the fact that the nursery has a very large outdoor play area for daily activities but for us, the extra mile the staff go to to create a very safe and conducive environment to learn and develop is a strong reason why we will recommend the nursery to everyone, including our friends and family.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.981)

Review Score Change Log

Please note changes are only recorded per day, so if 2 or more changes occur in the same day, it will only show the result from all the changes, not an individual breakdown of all the changes

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.981) out of 10 for LaDel's Day Nursery Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.981 for LaDel's Day Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (152 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.981

  • 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 LaDel's Day Nursery Ltd is based on 13 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, which has been reached with 13 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.
