My little boy has been at Little Teddies for over a year. He absolutely loves all the staff and that for a mum to see is just 10/10, knowing he is loved and cared for by all staff members makes me feel he is in safe hands. The nursery always looks clean and tidy and I would 1000% recommend Little Teddies
to anyone!

My little one only attended two days in March and on the third day, they terminated him from their nursery with the reason that he was not drinking water independently. They asked me to visit and promised me both verbally and written that they would refund my 100% money with registration fees as well.
But they only refunded me 30% of my money and refused to refund the registration fees now even though they have terminated him. Initially, they were very nice and sweet. I simply don't agree that if the child is not drinking water independently then you will going to be terminate him? I can't digest this reason at all.
I have got so much mental pressure to claim my hard-earned money back from them.
I don't think I will ever get my hard-earned money back now. I gave up. What I can only say is if you love your child don't choose this nursery.

We absolutely loved Little Teddies Nursery! The staff were all so friendly and willing to help. The management was very easy to talk to about any situation, and always took the time to listen and help in anyway they could. They were very comforting to my son when he first started as he was very shy
and nervous. He started when he was 2 and left when he was 4, they prepared him so well for big school where he is now thriving! Sending him to Little Teddies was the best decision I highly recommend their Nurseries!

My daughter has attended Little Teddies since she was 11 months old.
She is now 3 and although we have days where she is reluctant to go into nursery, once she is there she has the best time and always comes out smiling and keen to tell me about her day!
She has a few favourite teachers and talks
about them a lot at home too. She is always singing and playing games that she has learned at nursery.
Her confidence has grown and she has made friends and enjoys the things she does at nursery especially painting, going in the sensory room, and playing outside.
Little Teddies also provides a good variety of foods, my daughter eats more at nursery than anywhere else, even things she wouldn't eat anywhere else.
The staff are all lovely, very friendly and chatty, and always ready to help. Emails are answered quickly and all the day's updates are made on the app.
Overall I am very pleased with Little Teddies and look forward to the next year there with my daughter going into preschool.

I absolutely love the staff here, My baby started January last year at 4 months old, the team treated her like her own and made me feel so comfortable and happy. The staff would update me by an app or over the phone as I would get quite nervous.

My little girl started at Little Teddies Nursery in September 2022. She was very shy and didn’t want to leave me, because of the staff at Little Teddies she is now more confident and walks straight into school and loves going! The staff at Little Teddies are so patient and very caring.

My little one loves this nursery and the staff. They all treat the children like family and have a good relationship with parents.
He is always very happy when I go to collect him and the staff always allow me to pop in and have a little watch of him interacting with the other children when I collect
him which is lovely to see.
Staff are very good at keeping parents updated with events and special activities and my son often comes home with bits he has made. He has been attending since he was 8 months old and is now 2 and a half years, he is very familiar with the staff and they always greet him in such a lovely way and know him well. The staff are very down to earth and approachable and make the daunting situation of leaving your child so much easier! Thank you all for your continued love and hard work!

My son attends little teddies and I’ve seen him blossom under their care. They cater for his vegan diet, support him with his speech struggles and he loves attending nursery. Couldn’t have chosen a better nursery. Hope to send my youngest there next spring!

The staff are all so welcoming and friendly. My son has being going for nearly one year and he was eased In and welcomed every day by the friendly staff. They also cater for his dietary needs as the company they use for their lunches serves halal food.
They have many activities set out for the children
and they also have additional clubs like forest school, dance and more.
I will recommend this nursery to friends and family.

Such a heart warming nursery. Always feel so reassured by the friendly staff. Every time I pick my child up she comes out so happy and cheerful. My child’s confidence has gone through the roof and this was something we always thought we would struggle with considering having a lockdown baby. If your
looking for that home to home nursery then look no further!

Would recommend this nursery to anyone. Staff are second to none. So friendly and helpful. My little boy loved it and often asks when he is going back. During his two and a half years here, he learnt so much and it’s down to the amount of time and effort that the teachers actually spend with the children.
The interaction and educational side are outstanding. He settled in straight away and never had a day where he didn’t want to go, he was always so happy to go there.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.697)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.697) out of 10 for Little Teddies Nursery 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.697 for Little Teddies Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (138 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.697

  • 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 Teddies Nursery is based on 12 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 12 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.
