Little Trees has been brilliant for our little girl! We moved from Birmingham and felt really apprehensive about moving but the entire staff were amazing at the transfer of nurseries and she has settled incredibly well. Her development has been amazing to watch and it is down to the attentive, caring
and experienced staff. Thank you so much!

I am really pleased with how my daughter has progressed since attending Little Trees Lansown. The staff are always welcoming when dropping off and really informative about how her day's been when I collect her. The environment appears clean at all times and is a great space for her to learn and develop.
I can't thank the staff enough for how happy my daughter is on a daily basis, and to me that is the most important thing.

I cannot thank this team enough for their ongoing support in the development of my two and a half year old toddler. From the moment my friends suggested Dean's Close and to me having an interview to make sure it was a great fit, I absolutely knew I made the best decision. My daughter has ultimately
gone on leaps and bounds and it really is down to the fantastic teachers and practitioners that have guided her.

My daughter is happy at the nursery and her development has been aided by the activities and support provided by thr staff. The nursery provides a lot of additional activities to support phonics and sports. It's a shame these are not included in the overall nursery costs as part of the curriculum.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our time at the nursery has been exceptional. In just a few months, our son, who just turned one, has blossomed, from mastering crawling on his first day to confidently taking his first steps. The bond he shares with his key worker is heartwarming, whilst he's happy to see us at pick-up, he never really
wants to leave! She is completely brilliant. The nursery accommodates his dietary needs perfectly and has supported him through cleft palate surgery recovery by working with his speech therapy book. It's a vibrant, welcoming environment with friendly staff, all of whom engage with our son daily. The facilities are spacious, activities creative, and they celebrate occasions enthusiastically. We love that the fun and key moments are captured in photos and videos and shared on the app. The weekly development updates, with reference to the curriculum, is brillant, as was parents' evening. Overall, the nursery has surpassed our expectations, and we're thrilled with our son's experience here.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My son has been very happy here over the last 3 years and jumps for joy on a nursery day. The children are often outside in the garden/forest areas. The menu is balanced and nutritious and a lot of effort goes into planning activities, display boards, crafts and annual celebration events. We are updated
with a summary/photos on a daily basis giving us great peace of mind. The children are being prepared well for school and I am pleased there are educational elements to the day (eg. teaching counting, days of the week, the alphabet) and extra-curricular activities (eg. football, phonics). The preschool staff are brilliant and care for and know my little boy very well. One staff member in particular is the heart of the nursery and is adored by the children. There has been a good level of staff consistency in recent times enabling my son to form some lovely bonds. I appreciate the approach with behaviour and manners which my son hugely benefits from! He has made lots of friends and is really thriving here.

Our daughter goes to the nursery full time and has built her confidence and skills up massively since beginning the nursery. The staff work so well with the parents and take on board what's going on at home so that both at nursery and at home is consistent.
The staff have been great at engaging our

Interaction with children is good, there has been an issue with the door to explorers being left unlocked, which is not good and has been reported. The outside area is good for the children, which our daughters enjoyed.

Reply from Karen Green, Regional Manager at Little Trees Day Nursery Lansdown

Thank you for your review. We are aware of the issue with the door, which has been reliant on parents alerting us when they are leaving, so the door can be secured from the inside. We have a locksmith coming out this week to fix this issue. In the interim, we are asking parents to exit through the main door.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.741)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.741) out of 10 for Little Trees Day Nursery Lansdown 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.741 for Little Trees Day Nursery Lansdown is calculated as follows: ( (272 Excellents x 5) + (64 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 348 Ratings = 4.741

  • 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 Trees Day Nursery Lansdown is based on 28 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 93 number of registered child places is 18.6, which has been reached with 28 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.
