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.

The staff are all highly-trained and the development of each individual child is aided by a designated key person who records their progress and communicates regularly with the parents. The nursery is accredited with the Pre-School Learning Alliance and also holds the Investors in People Award.

My daughter has been at Little Echoes since she was 9 months old and now, at 2 and a half years old, she continues to be incredibly happy. It is a delight to see how much fun she has every day, how well she is developing and how much she is learning each day. From the moment we first visited Little
Echoes, we were impressed by the friendly, kind and welcoming staff, the happy children and the vibrant, varied and welcoming environments they provide. The staff are fantastic. They genuinely care for my daughter and I really feel like they know her. It is so important to know that I can confidently leave my little one at Little Echoes and know she is safe and happy each day, having fun with her friends. I can't recommend this nursery enough.

Over the past four years, Little Echoes have looked after all three of our children across the three different rooms. The staff provide a wide range of activities for the children during the day and the staff are always on hand for any questions. Our eldest went to school last year and while at nursery
she developed so many of the required skills needed to settle into school quickly. The staff provide lots of feedback and are always friendly and approachable, our children love nursery!

My daughter really enjoys every day at nursery. She has a great relationship with her key workers and carers and I'm always happy to leave her in their care. My daughter has developed significantly and rapidly since joining, in her language, social motor skills. She's always stimulated with fun and
educational activities from reading books, Jo Jingles, sensory room and garden/outdoor/playground time. Her eating habits are much improved: trying more foods and eating more overall. All this despite her dairy intolerance. The staff are always available to talk to us and take an interest in any changes to her home routine too. All procedures are explained clearly. I have had only fantastic experiences at Little Echoes.

My son started nursery at the beginning of September 2015, the nursery staff provided a excellent settling in programme over a period of one week. I felt reassured that all my son's needs had been discused and everyone was friendly and welcoming. My son very much enjoys nursery and greets me at the
end of the day with a huge smile. The staff are very informative and communicate well regarding my sons progress.

Our daughter who is now 2 and 9 months has now been attending 2 days a week for a couple of months, after being with either Mummy or Nanny full time for 2 and a half years this was a big change for her and we had many a tear shed for the first few weeks when dropping her off, but thanks to the staff
at Little Echoes she has settled in really quickly and we have no problems now, and we have noticed so much more confidence in her now around other children as well.
The staff there are all really friendly, helpful and completely understanding, and are always there to help us as parents as well as her, and we were amazed that they even managed to get her to have a sleep on the first day,and every day since, something we can't even manage to do at times these days.
We visited a few nurseries before seeing Little Echoes, and honestly when we first walked in we both looked at each other and nodded straight away, the atmosphere is so clean, bright and welcoming, compared to some of the others that just felt dirty and as if you were visiting a prison. The daily cost is maybe slightly more than the average but it is so worth it for the facilities and the atmosphere they have and I would whole heartedly recommend them to anyone.

Little Echoes is a very friendly and welcoming nursery. It is very organised and well run. Our son really enjoys his time there. There are always plenty of different activities and toys laid out every morning upon arrival to inspire the children. The staff are excellent, caring and generally very attentive.
It is a lovely place and we are very happy that our son goes there.

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.
