Both my sons attend Little Oaks Day Nursery and both love it. They both pretty much run in every time I drop them off. The communication from all the staff in person, via email or app is second to none. Couldn’t have picked a better nursery for both my children they are both thriving and thoroughly
enjoy their time there. Highly recommended

We are very pleased with the care that we receive from the ladies at Little Oaks. They are friendly and always there to help when needed. My little boy started during the pandemic and he has struggled a little with settling due to lots of different staff greeting him daily. This has been a little more
consistent in the recent weeks and I do hope this remains the same. The Manager and the Deputy Manager have been amazing throughout with keeping us fully informed and updated during such anxious and worrying times! I really couldn't have asked for more from them!


I would love a way to speak directly with the finance department. We have had a few issues with billing and would have been nice to be able to call them directly. Also, updates on the new app and how payments can be viewed would have also been great.


Reply from Beth Lewendon, Marketing Coordinator at Little Oaks Day Nursery

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you have had some issues with billing. If you call the Head Office (01344 246990) we will be able to direct you to the correct department or pass on your information to the relevant person. For further information about the parent app, please speak to your Nursery Manager who will be able to support you further. Thank you again for your feedback!

Little Oaks is a lovely nursery. Our son absolutely loves going to pre-school and the staff are very nice to both myself, my partner and our son. The app with photo updates is lovely to be able to see in the daytime when you're missing your little one.
Safety is always maintained and we feel comfortable
leaving our son here, knowing they are safeguarding him at all times.
Communication from the manager and staff is great, they always answer any queries we have promptly.
The outside play area is our son's favourite, which has separate areas to discover and play. The nursery offers different activities he doesn't have at home.
Overall we are very happy with the nursery and just so pleased it's local. Highly recommended.

My girls really look forward to their sessions at Little Oaks, and often ask to go in addition to their set days! It's so lovely to have a purpose-built centre for a nursery - the outside space is large and filled with all sorts of fun activities come rain or shine.

I have had two children attending Little Oaks over the last five years; they both started at five months old, and it's the best thing I ever did! The staff are amazing, always welcoming and an open ear if needed. my children have grown so much and it's with the help of Little Oaks. My one child has
left Little Oaks, but they still always ask about her when I drop the little one off. They are not just members of staff, they are a family to my children.

Exceptional nursery in a fantastic setting. Care from staff are second to none. Facilities are great, with ample space both inside and out. Home-cooked food from a wide seasonal menu provides my child with a well-balanced and nutritious diet. Have sent both my children to the Nursery and would highly
recommend it!

Our daughter currently attends Little Oaks Day Nursery and she absolutely loves it. The staff are fantastic, as are the facilities on offer and the care provided. They provide an APP with day to day updates on what the children have been eating and what activities they have been doing that day which
is just fab! I would highly recommend Little Oaks Day Nursery.

I definitely recommend Little Oaks Day Nursery. My children really enjoy their time there. My eldest started when he was 11 months old and is currently in pre school and my 9 month old twins recently started. There is a wide range of activities for them to enjoy and learn. All the staff are positive
and friendly and I know they are well looked after.

My daughter is currently at Little Oaks Day Nursery and loves it! She has come on leaps and bounds since starting at eleven months. The staff are very caring, friendly, nurturing and my daughter always has a special bond with her key worker. The nursery has a newly refurbished garden and my daughter
is very much an outside child so she is thrilled that they have extensive outside play and learning. I would highly recommend Little Oaks Day Nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.902)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.902) out of 10 for Little Oaks 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.912 for Little Oaks Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (209 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.912

  • 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 4.99 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Oaks Day Nursery is based on 19 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.99

  • 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.
