  • Little Garden The Beaconsfield Day Nursery & Pre-School (Previously The Kiddies Academy), Beaconsfield
The Beaconsfield Day Nursery & Pre-School (Previously Kiddies Academy Day Nursery), aims to provide the foundations needed to give children the confidence to reach their full potential.

They firmly believe that in order to do this, their role as an early years’ provider is to facilitate and encourage independence through the philosophy of ‘opportunities without limits’, and continually being responsive to the inquisitive and instinctive needs of the children.

The nursery provides a range of age-appropriate activities which are carefully planned by qualified practitioners, introducing new experiences by encouraging the children to learn and discover through play. Part of this is building children’s social and cultural capital so that they develop a love of learning and confidence in their place in the world.

I love the variety of activities available at Kiddies Academy. My little boy seems to do something different each week. I especially like that they place particular emphasis on outdoor play.
My little boy loves playing outside and I love that he gets plenty of fresh air!
His speech and social skills
have come in leaps and bounds and Kiddies Academy definitely help with this.

I have two boys who have both been attending Kiddies Academy in Beaconsfield and they both enjoy it very much. Both of my children run into their rooms and are very happy to wave me off. The staff at Kiddies are both kind and professional. Activities are planned in advance and often coincide with special
events around the world and religions. I have particularly impressed with their Duwali celebrations and the Christmas concert. Thank you for your care and consideration of my two boys, Kiddies. Both boys have made progress and new friends with you.

Kiddies provides a welcome and 'real world' environment for my child as he prepares himself for big school. I am delighted that although he is cared for, encouraged and inspired, he is not cossetted or fussed over unnecessarily. The team actively encourage independence, and address discipline issues
with integrity and respect.


Previous nurseries that my other children attended have been most charming, but have been more likely to spend a long time detailing daily menus, or sending home charming artwork with limited child input, or creating detailed logs of every milestone and goal. I am quite certain that every piece of art my son brings home is his own creation. I do not need Kiddies to scrapbook his life for me.


I am very happy to know that he loves the staff, and they give every appearance of loving him.


The senior management team work extremely hard and are very committed to the kids.


My son loves it, and looks forward to going back every time.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.881)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.881) out of 10 for Little Garden The Beaconsfield Day Nursery & Pre-School (Previously The Kiddies Academy) 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.881 for Little Garden The Beaconsfield Day Nursery & Pre-School (Previously The Kiddies Academy) is calculated as follows: ( (149 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.881

  • 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 Garden The Beaconsfield Day Nursery & Pre-School (Previously The Kiddies Academy) 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 53 number of registered child places is 10.6, which has been reached with 14 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.
