A lovely nursery which both my children adore. Really great staff and management. The outdoor space out back is regularly used to give the children exercise and there are regular activities in arts and crafts. There is also an excellent onsite soft play.

So happy with Little Treasures Academy. They are a fantastic childcare provider and I would recommend to anyone feeling a bit anxious about leaving their child, they have been wonderful with my son. They are kind, welcoming and the children come first.

I could not recommend this nursery more... I have spoken very highly of Little Treasures to all my friends and family. All the staff are extremely friendly and caring and the level of planning that goes into their activities day to day is second to none. They have freshly cooked nutritious meals daily
and during the lockdown, they provided great support and a real community on a private social media group. I couldn’t imagine any of my children going to another nursery. They treat my son like family and he loves every minute of it.

We arrived in Witney in January and we had no idea about the nurseries in general. We visited some nurseries but when we talked with the manager, she was able to find a solution in one hour. In fact, the next week our children started to enjoy the nursery. The language was not a problem and is not a
problem because they are so patient with us and of course, with our children. They are professional, lovely, patient, clean and most importantly the staff love their work. We have no doubts and our other children will go to Little Treasures Academy.

Both my children attend Little Treasures Academy and have since they were both nine months old. I find the communication from the nursery excellent, and they continually strive to improve anywhere they can. The two senior members of staff I find to be exceptional. I always feel satisfied and happy knowing
my children are in good hands. Particularly in recent months, I have found the support, honesty and processes put in place, extremely reassuring.

Little Treasures Academy are always happy to talk on the phone and give you regular updates. My daughter is always happy to go into nursery and the staff are friendly whilst also being very approachable and sensible (when it comes to child illnesses, etc). I have no complaints and know when dropping
off my daughter she will be well looked after and have lots of fun.

Been brilliant during lockdown as I’m an essential worker, I cannot fault the care received. My daughter was very shy but had come on leaps and bounds with confidence. She loves the music sessions the best and I hope that they will start again soon.

Our son, in no time, has been completely integrated into the new nursery. We came from Spain, worried about the different language, but have no worries now.
Now, he runs to the main gate waiting to go inside, to us this is the evidence that he enjoys every day.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough! The staff are extremely helpful, approachable and friendly. The personalization my child got and the understanding the staff had of him made me feel like he was truly his own individual and he developed so well with their guidance. He enjoyed going to nursery
each day and I felt content that he was safe, happy and learning. The extra-curricular activities are such a bonus and the soft play area is amazing for them. The staff were always available to talk and I feel although the classrooms and outdoor space is spacious and colourful the staff is what makes it here! I felt everyone knew the children from each room. Great place!

The staff of Little Treasures Academy are what make the nursery so special. Whether I am dropping my daughter off at 7.30am or collecting her at 5.30pm, each and every member of the team makes both me and my daughter feel incredibly welcomed. There is genuine warmth and interest shown in the wellbeing
and development of the children under their care. The nursery also provides wonderfully enriching and different experiences for the children - fun adventures can be found in the most 'ordinary' of trips out, including to the local DIY store! My daughter is very happy at this nursery.

The staff are very friendly and supportive of my son. We have had two children in the nursery and can not fault anything the nursery or the staff do. There is a range of activities that the children partake in and the meals are varied. Outside activities are organised and the balance between play and
learning is also varied. We would highly recommend.

I had to find childcare quickly for my daughter due to change of circumstances and was offered a place at Little Treasures which was such a relief. Having known the nursery from when my eldest went many years ago it was nice to see some familiar faces still working there. The nursery is such a good
nursery I was nervous for my daughter to go from being with a childminder she loved to going into a completely different environment and lots more children.
It did take her a while to settle in but the staff always made her feel welcome when dropping off and I felt happy that eventually she would settle in. Which she did and now loves nursery. She loves her key worker and other room teachers. She enjoys all the different activities the nursery offer, dance session she gets very excited about and loves the big garden where there are loads of bikes and things to do. I am very happy with the nursery and would definitely recommend it to anyone. Thanks for taking great care of my daughter.

Little Treasures Academy, Witney is a warm and welcoming nursery. My clingy son was made to feel at ease and settled in a lot faster than I anticipated. I attribute this to the family feel of the nursery, all staff are friendly, chatty and clearly enjoy the environment that they work in. Children are
always busy and happy at drop off and pick up. I feel at ease leaving him there as I know he has a great time!

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.470)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.470) out of 10 for Kids Planet Witney 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 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 4.689 for Kids Planet Witney is calculated as follows: ( (129 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.689

  • 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 4.781 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Witney is based on 15 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.781

  • 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.
