Little Trees Lansdown is a welcoming and positive environment for children, my child has settled really well and has made good relationships with the staff. I am frequently being updated on his learning and development through observations and assessments. Communication is great and I will always get
a handover on how my child has been each day from sleep, food and nappy changes.
Management are great, supportive towards transitioning into nursery life and have excellent communication, not to mention friendly and welcoming.
Overall a fantastic welcoming setting. We couldn’t be happier to see our little one thriving while here.

This is an outstanding nursery! Handovers are very easy and prompt. I feel comfortable leaving my child at the nursery and have no complaints about anything. You get a real feeling of love and care for your child from all of them as he does for them, you can see the lovely relationships he has with
the individual team members. The setting is perfect and homely. The staff and management are very friendly and supportive of any problems you may have.

Sending your little one to a nursery is a very daunting experience, especially as a first-time mum. I had looked around several nurseries and none of them stood out as much as Little Trees Lansdown. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome and smile from the staff. A member of staff
showed us around the rooms and the facilities and both children and staff were happy. This was huge for me. I wanted my daughter to go from a loving home to a loving environment that would care for her and help her develop and grow. The space at the nursery was great, both indoor and outdoor. It was a no-brainer for us as a family. Since starting in September 2023, the team have helped her settle and her confidence is growing daily. The staff keep you informed of her day and are always so positive and bubbly when we see them at pick up and drop off. The manager and her team have a fantastic setup here at Lansdown and I can say nothing but praise and thanks for our experience. Thank you.

My daughter has been going to Little Trees for a month, and they’ve been absolutely brilliant.
They’ve been amazing at settling her in, keeping us updated, and working with us to make her start more smooth.
She also has dietary requirements, which Little Trees have dealt with really well, giving her
a safe version of the same food the other children are eating.
Really can’t fault our experience so far, and very glad with our choice of nursery!

We have been at this nursery for a number of years now just one child remaining there. It is a busy nursery but we have always found them very supportive flexible and focused on learning and improving. One child has additional challenges and particularly one department handled this very well it’s been
a bit of a challenge ensuring the next department delivered the same. They were very receptive to feedback and open to collaborative working and changing.
Our children have loved going which is always such a big positive. All staff friendly and positive and really family atmosphere. Also extra mention to the chef and catering team.

My daughter joined the nursery last summer. It was hard leaving her at first but the staff has made all the difference as she adores her key workers.
She has settled quite well and she has also developed new skills as there are always activities planned.
I think she is more confident around other
people.
I believe that my daughter is in the best hands.

The most important aspect for me is the team genuinely care for the children and my daughter walks in happy every day to a hug from her room leader. She has access to great classes like football and phonics and eats a varied diet.
It would be great if the facilities outside could be given a refresh
to come up to the standard of the other nurseries in the organisation.

My children have been attending Little Trees Day Nursery Lansdown since 2019 and we are very happy with our experience here. They have both developed really well, with my son being very well prepared for starting school in 2021 and my daughter well on her way in the last few months of preschool. We
particularly love the outdoor space.

We have been using Little Trees since 2016 and have always been satisfied with the level of care both of our children have had. Staff build a great rapport with the kids and always have fun activities for them to do and plenty of outside time. We also had a good experience with adaptations and adjustments
for settling with our SEN child.

I am so pleased with the care my son receives. All the staff are friendly and welcoming and I can see he has genuine bonds. It was an anxious time sending him to nursery but they made the process easy. He is so happy to go in the morning and happy when I collect him. I always get a full handover and
updates in the day so I know how he’s been and what’s going on.

Our daughter loves Little Trees Day Nursery Lansdown, we were worried if she would settle well as she is only going once a week but she loves it. We have a 15min drive and she chats all the way home about her day. The staff are lovely and care so well for her. She happily waves me off each day which
is comforting. We get fantastic weekly observations, showing how important her development is to her key worker. We love the daily updates and pictures of what all the children have been up to for the day.

Our daughter has attended Little Trees Day Nursery Lansdown since September 2022, she started just after turning 1. The staff are absolutely fantastic with her and helped her (and mine!) transition from home to nursery go as smoothly as possible. She asks for a cuddle as soon as she sees any of them
and seems happy to be there! They are great at updating us through the app, we get plenty of photos and updates about her day, which is invaluable. Would 100% recommend Little Trees Day Nursery Lansdown to other parents, especially anyone nervous about their baby starting nursery for the first time!

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We’ve been nothing but impressed since our little boy started at Little Trees Day Nursery Lansdown. Even from the early ‘Settling In’ sessions when he struggled to adjust, the team have given us nothing but confidence that he couldn’t be in a safer or more encouraging environment. Despite challenges
with his sleeping and eating during the first few months, the team consistently kept us updated and were keen to catch up with us at the end of every day to discuss his progress and how they were constantly revisiting their approach to find what worked for him. We also had regular updates throughout the day thanks to the Famly app that they use to provide feedback on his development and share photos from the day’s activities. Thanks to all of the team’s efforts and patience he’s now fully settled in his nursery routine and we’re looking forward to how he continues to grow at Little Trees over the coming years.

Both my children have gone to Little Trees Day Nursery Lansdown since they were babies (one is now in pre-school and one is in toddlers) and have had a wonderful experience. It is a really caring environment and all the staff know all the children across the departments, which is lovely. They've really
built up the confidence of my oldest child in particular and supported him when he was having difficulties. I love how much they prioritise outside play - they always get the children out as much as possible in the fantastic garden.

Little Trees is absolutely brilliant. Committed to my child's development and always put the children's needs first. The team genuinely adore my little one, and the feeling is mutual. Their key workers' names are a mainstay in our house and my little one can't wait to go to nursery. What I particularly
like is the breadth of new experiences they have, indoor and outdoor. Lots of things I don't have time to do at home or simply don't have the resource for. They provide plenty to eat too for a happy child!
The office staff are brilliant too. Very flexible and accommodating and they know every single child.


This has been the same at every stage of nursery - The ladies in the baby department, and the rest of the team in the toddler department. I genuinely can't fault them and my child is learning a lot!

My three-year-old has been going to Little Trees since she was around 15 months old. She's always loved it, and as parents, we've always been very happy with the nursery and how she's cared for. Regular updates and observations are provided via the app.
The building is spacious and light, with lots
of room for the different age groups, and the outside space is brilliant - the children get to play outside virtually every day. The menu always looks varied and appealing.
Would definitely recommend the nursery to other parents.

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.
