Little Echoes Day Nursery offers an independent childcare service, registered as a non profit-making charity, which has recently moved into a refurbished and innovative facility intended to make the most of each child’s early years learning potential.

The nursery offers a bright and stimulating interior, of Scandinavian design, with its own sensory room, a sleep room and three separate childcare areas that allow staff to pursue learning goals suitable for different age ranges. Little Echoes also has three separate outdoor play areas and is located in great natural surroundings, where supervised outings can take in the large playing field and woodland walks.

Little Echoes is a truly wonderful nursery. My daughter has been at Little Echoes since she was 10 months old, they have really cared for her and she has really thrived. The settling-in process was fantastic, solely building up her stay until she was fully attending which was a welcome surprise. All
the staff genuinely care and nurture the children. My daughter has made some wonderful relationships with the staff and other children. I feel so happy sending my daughter to Little Echoes and highly recommend it!

We could not be happier with Little Echoes. They have been welcoming and helpful since our child started and I have always felt they offer the best care and support. The staff are wonderful and always go above and beyond.
Thank you.

I have now had two children attend Little Echoes and I continue to be impressed with how they nurture and develop the children and support the parents. Both children have loved going to the nursery and my nearly 6-year-old asks to go back!

Lovely nursery, our little boy loves it. Never any tears, he is so happy and excited. His development is amazing. At 18 months he can count to twenty, identify different numbers and is beginning now to recognise some letters too. The staff are so friendly and treat him as an individual. I would highly
recommend Little Echoes.

My daughter has settled into Little Echoes Day Nursery fantastically during these difficult times. The staff have created a fantastic, safe learning environment for her which she loves. As a first time mum, I couldn't be happier in finding such a lovely nursery where my daughter is well looked after.

I have had a positive experience of settling my child into Little Echoes. They spent time showing me around the nursery (pre-lockdown) and then sat down with both of us to find out more about my child's needs, along with her likes/dislikes. Although it took my child a few days to settle in, the staff
were very gentle and kind to help her settle in. She loves going to nursery now and I can see how much she has developed since starting here. I get regular updates about the activities and how she is getting on.

for their support. We highly recommend Little Echoes, soon our newborn will be joining them.

We have been using Little Echoes for about 2 years and both our children have come on so well. They have made great friends, learnt and developed greatly. We cannot fault the staff, they treat the children as though they were their own. The building and facilities are designed well for the purpose.
Great healthy variety of food.

Since starting both my boys at Little Echoes in February this year, I have been really impressed with the service they provide to both the children and their parents. The staff are simply brilliant. They all work extremely hard and we are met every day with a welcoming smile. The boys, particularly
my 3-year-old, has come on more in his short time at Little Echoes than he did in 2 years at his previous nursery, while my one-year-old is always happy to be dropped off and responds so well to everyone there. The day to day routine put in place offers structure and reassurance and certainly works for us. I can't recommend them enough.

My son has been at Little Echoes for over a year now and comes home a happy child. He often says "Mummy I love school" My son has flourished and become a confident, independent child. The staff are so hands-on and attentive, every day you get comprehensive feedback on how their day was. The acre and
interest are outstanding. Thank you so much Little Echoes for taking brilliant care of my child while I have to work.

My son has been in the care of Little Echoes 2 days a week for 1 year now. The team are consistently happy, full of energy and hugely in touch with his needs - this care extends outside of the wonderful staff in his room to the management and admin team. I feel assured there is always a great standard
of different activities and this has been beneficial to my son's overall development. The nursery is very well organised, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I am very happy to know Oliver is in such good care and hope the staff feel appreciated.

I cannot recommend Little Echoes Nursery enough. They are a wonderful team who care, dearly about every single child. My little boy absolutely loves going and they made him feel very welcome when he joined just over a year ago. The facilities are great and the food always varied. I am so happy we found
this nursery and I would highly recommend this place to all.

My son has been going to Little Echoes for nearly a year now. He loves it and I am so pleased we decided to send him there. The rooms are big and light and they are always doing fun and creative activities. The staff are very professional and clearly love their job. I have looked at many nurseries but
this was by far the best.

I can't say enough positive things about Little Echoes. My little one started in the baby room last April at 11 months and loves every second he spends here. He gets excited as soon as we pull into the car park. The facilities are great - large, bright rooms with lovely equipment and decorations made
by the children, as well as good outdoor space. The staff are all fantastic - they all know my little one and always say hello, even those from different rooms. It's clear that the nursery places great emphasis on investing in its staff, many of whom have been their years so there is great continuity of care. The manager is fantastic and very hands on. My little boy just loves all of the staff and it's reassuring to know he is loved and cared for every day. So glad we found Little Echoes!

My four-month-old son joined this nursery. From the start, he has been cared for with bespoke attention. The key worker is a happy and caring lady who sincerely enjoys her job. The manager is efficient and flexible and alongside her duties, she has a huge knowledge of the children and their needs. When
a change of plan is needed, the staff are happy to put a plan into action. My son is loved and cared for to a high standard. I would recommend this nursery without hesitation - the children have a wonderful time!

Both my children have attended Little Echoes and I have been extremely pleased with the care they have received. They both look forward to going and have so much fun doing various activities. Their favourite is the weekly music, singing and movement class.


My eldest has now left to start school and

Little Echoes prepared him brilliantly for the transition. All the staff there are great!

My daughter went to this nursery from 2015 - 2016 and now my youngest daughter is currently in their Bouncing Bunnies room.
I rave about this nursery to everyone I meet.
They are caring, supportive and nurturing.
They understand the children and know the families.
The care is 2nd to none and they
are very flexible with the hours.
I trust them wholeheartedly to take amazing care of my little one and she always has a beaming smile when I pick her up.

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.425)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.425) out of 10 for Little Echoes Day Nursery 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 3 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 4.944 for Little Echoes Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (34 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.944

  • 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 3.481 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Echoes Day Nursery is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 65 number of registered child places is 13. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 13 = 0.231

  • 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.
