The staff are always brilliant with the children. We get daily updates of what our daughter is up to and observations throughout the year to update us on her progress. There are also occasions for the parents to go in and spend time with their children (e.g. Christmas party).

My daughter has been at Little Trees for around 3 months, initially for 2 days per week and more recently, daily. The staff are very friendly and well organized. I get frequent assessments on her progress and activities during the day. She enjoys nursery so much that she asks to go even on weekends
now!

Fabulous centre! Both my children have attended, having previously lived overseas. The range of topics, activities and resources the children are offered is impressive and the staff are always caring and attentive. Fantastic outdoor area also!

We have used this nursery for all three of my children. They have all loved coming here so much. The garden is excellent. They always seem to enjoy the food, and the activities they do with the children are lots of fun. In particular, the staff are great - I'm always impressed how even the managers
know all the kids names (it is a fairly large nursery) and how much the staff genuinely love the kids they look after. The staff are brilliant at updating the app with the activities the kids have been upto. My oldest two are now both at school, but they still talk about some of the staff and ask to see them if possible. I will be really sad when my littlest leaves. I really can't fault the nursery and would not hesitate to recommend it to friends.

All three of our sons have attended Little Trees, and the older two, who are six and eight, still talk about how they enjoyed their time there, and when on their school holidays, ask to come and pick up the youngest when they're off to see the staff again. We have over seven years of experience in sending
our children to Little Trees and would highly recommend it. Back when we looked at the various offerings in Cheltenham, we were impressed with the size of the outside space Little Trees offers. Another draw for us was the opening hours. Having made the decision to send our eldest there, we have been nothing but impressed with the care given to our children and the relationships they have built. In terms of preparing the children for school, the work they do is great, providing stepping stones into education.

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery, and I'm extremely impressed with the varied and fun activities offered, as well as really thoughtful projects too. My daughter has developed really close bonds with her key workers, and the whole place feels like a big family, just what you want for your
little one.

My daughter started nursery not very long ago but from the first day at nursery, she was treated so well, was given so much attention, following the routine that we had at home. All the little details were taken into account and she definitely felt that she is in a happy and safe place.
Few months
down the line, Tree Tops is one of her favourite places to be.
Can’t thank the ladies enough for everything they are doing for my little girl.

I am really pleased with the care my 2 children receive from Tree Tops in Cheltenham.
The nursery organises such a wide range of activities that no 2 days are the same.
The menu probably contains too many sweet puddings for my liking but this is a small criticism of a really lovely, caring environment.

Reply from Karen Green at Little Trees Day Nursery Lansdown

Thank you for your lovely comments. We are constantly reviewing our menus and we welcome ideas on how to improve. We are putting together our Spring menu presently, so will take your suggestions into account.
Thank you once again.

Tree Tops is a fantastic setting that makes great use of their space indoors and out.
Since starting with TreeTops in October 2018, my daughter settled quickly and always appears happy and eager to attend her sessions.
The staff there are always welcoming, with a positive and cheery attitude, whilst
maintaining a high standard of professionalism and focus.
The structure of my daughter’s days at the nursery and the activities they do are fantastic for her early development and we can really see what she has learnt.
We are so very pleased with the level of communication on my daughter’s progress and report on her daily achievements.
We would highly recommend TreeTops.

The nursery is great, the new nursery manager has really stepped things up and the management and organisation are much improved. There is a lot of thought put into what activities the children do, they offer cookery classes, french classes etc. The outdoor space means they spend a lot of time outside
doing many different activities, looking for bugs, getting muddy, going on the swings, bikes etc. The recent parent's evening reviews demonstrated that they know my child very well and are able to tailor content to what she likes doing. The staff are incredibly caring and friendly and my daughter runs into nursery each morning.

My 17 month old has been at Tree Tops since April this year and he has come on leaps and bounds since joining in terms of confidence, speech and socialising.
The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive and the activities, facilities (particularly the outside space) and meals provided are excellent.
Would
highly recommend!

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.
