Little Lodge was rated as Outstanding on 24th November 2021.

Central to the ethos is to provide a happy, safe, warm and stimulating environment for all children to play, learn and develop freely. The nursery help children to develop responsibility for themselves and their actions and to become competent, confident, independent and co-operative individuals.

We are so happy with Little Lodge Nursery and would happily recommend it to anyone. As well as first class nursery provision it offers access to the outdoors in all weathers, Forest School, music and dance all of which our daughter adores! Staff are approachable, warm and caring and we are very grateful
for all that they do. The live updates via the app are informative and give us a wonderful insight into what our little one has been doing during her time at nursery.

Little Lodge is outstanding. My daughter has attended for the last 16 months and loves it. She has a brilliant bond with all the staff who go above and beyond. The Little Lodge is a caring nursery - a home away from home. Little Lodge engages my daughter in activities to aid her development and I cannot
fault them.

Little lodge is one of the best daycare nurseries in Worcestershire. Their facilities are 10/10. The staff are friendly and the food menus are excellent. I highly recommend the nursery if you are thinking of sending your child.

Little Lodge have and continue to go above and beyond for our daughter. They are understanding to parents concerns. They are flexible. They put the children at the centre of every decision they make. When we viewed this nursery we knew it was the right place for our daughter to go, and we have never
looked back. We will forever thank them for their support.

We have two older children and our little one who attends Little lodge. Over the years we've used a number of child care providers but Little Lodge has been truly outstanding. The staff are all so happy and kind. They genuinely care for your child and give such lovely updates and handovers. Our little
one was quite timid when he started, having been a lockdown baby and they bought him out of his shell. He is so so happy there and he loves the staff. The activities are amazing and varied. We had a few personal hurdles in the last few months and the management and staff have been very supportive and compassionate. Recently when my husband was made redundant they showed outstanding kindness and generosity which is just exceptional for any business. They did it because they wanted our little one to have a routine so they helped us keep his place and have some time with them whilst my husband found work. They really are outstanding and we can never thank them enough for their kindness.

My daughter has attended for a few months now, the staff were amazing with helping her settle and was very patient, friendly, bubbly, and welcoming! My daughter now has lovely bonds with all staff members and she is constantly talking about the staff and her friends at home. She has thrived so so much
since starting Little Lodge. Her confidence, speech, and other developmental areas too. The care they provide for my child and all other children is outstanding, she comes home and has so much to tell me about her day, from messy play to walks! She gets to experience lots of different activities throughout the day. My daughter loves being outside which is perfect as this nursery offers free flow throughout the day, so she can decide herself if she wants to be inside or outside! Amazing nursery.

Our experience of Little lodge nursery is nothing short of exceptional. The team are all personable and welcoming and the environment is fantastic, offering so much variety and development opportunities for our little one. Our child’s key worker (as like all the staff) is fully invested in her and ensures
that all of the activities either suits our child’s personality or enabled her to develop certain skills that are apart of the structured and in-depth curriculum that Little lodge have. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone (and have) as all we have seen is our little one thrive since attending.

Little Lodge was recommended to us for our little boy by a very good friend and we have never looked back. The staff are amazing, excited to see Jude when we drop him off. They know him and you can see they love him like they do all the kids. You never ever walk in to anything other than happy children
and smiling staff. The staff have supported and driven forward with toilet training as soon as we and Jude were ready. They encourage his personality by embracing when he decides to turn up in superhero fancy dress or carrying a tiny toy in a pocket and incorporate it into his play at the setting.
He talks about the staff at home, often asking when he will next see them and his friends next. He runs into the setting every session and this is all we could ask!
We are able to go to work and not worry as the updates provided on the EyLog show the variety of activities he does!
He eats well, plays hard and learns and develops week on week - we literally couldn’t ask for more!

We joined the Little Lodge Nursery a year ago. My oldest had been at a previous nursery and so initially we had reservations about settling in, but the team were so welcoming and friendly. Our youngest joined in January 2021 and again the team were so supportive and patient. The communication, including
daily updates via an app, and emails with the months curriculum give peace of mind. The extra activities including sports, music and ballet are also a big hit! The whole Little Lodge family are an asset and it’s a pleasure dropping off the boys!

We love Little Lodge. The staff are all friendly and lovely, my son runs to them like family. The facilities are great and the extra activities that they provide are amazing! I love hearing what my son has been involved in, depending on the day it could be ballet, music or forrest school.
They have
always been flexible and supportive when we have had childcare issues. We would, and do, highly recommend this nursery!

Our little girl previously attended a large franchise nursery from 6 months. We found Little Lodge when looking for more family feel alternatives with smaller numbers when she was 21 months and are so happy we moved her. She settled in fabulously well in a short time, loves the special activities like
the weekly music group session and how much time she gets to spend outdoors. As a parent, I love the photo and video updates via the parent app over the course of the day and it's so nice to get a schedule in advance each week of the planned activities that will be going on. We were worried after an extended break from nursery, due to COVID, that there would be tears on her return but from her first day back she walked straight to the breakfast table and waved dad goodbye...cheerfully! A real testament to how comfortable she is with the staff and how much fun she has with them. We look forward to enrolling our little boy in the future and would highly recommend.

We moved to Worcester when my daughter was three. Having already been at a nursery setting I was worried how she would react to this change but from the very first email of enquiry, they have been nothing but supportive and always go the extra mile to make both me and my daughter feel welcomed and valued.
Our religious beliefs are respected and approached with such a positive attitude and willingness to work alongside us as parents. It has no doubt led to our daughter's increase in confidence, social skills and intellectual growth. It is made clear how much they value parent inclusion and I feel I have been updated and involved every step of the way. It is so nice too have a management team that knows your child by name and has a hands-on approach to what goes on at the nursery. No expense is spared when it comes to ensuring fun and keeping the children safe. I couldn’t recommend a better nursery setting and team.

My son has attended Little Lodge since July 2018 at the age of two and a half. After being hesitant about him starting in a nursery environment... well we only wish we had taken him sooner. From his first starter session staff made the settling in process very easy for my son and I. The nursery has
had a change of ownership and management in my son's time at Little Lodge and I cannot fault anything. The running of Little Lodge is fantastic, all the staff are very friendly and professional, the communication we receive is five star, any queries are answered the same day, never any delays. We receive daily updates on the specific days he attends and weekly emails on activities the following week involves. It really does feel like a lovely family environment and I am so happy and confident that Little Lodge will prepare my son well for him to start school in September. I would absolutely recommend Little Lodge.

My little boy has settled in really well. I was very anxious about sending him to nursery due to him going full time and him having spent the first nine months of his life with mainly me and his dad. All of that anxiety went away when I dropped him off for his first taster session. I knew seeing how
happy he was being there and how good the staff were with him and myself meant we had definitely chosen the right nursery for him. He has been there for four months now and absolutely loves it. Every member of staff there is amazing with him. He's always so excited to see everyone when he is dropped off in a morning. The regular updates we receive via the app is great. Especially with both myself and his dad both working full time. It's lovely to see what he has been up to throughout the day.
I would highly recommend Little Lodge Nursery school to anyone looking for a nursery.

Having attended Little Lodge myself as a child it was an easy decision choosing a nursery for my child. Little Lodge feels like a family, all the staff go above and beyond for the children and the new management are amazing. I could not recommend Little Lodge enough and I know my child will make memories
there that will last forever, as I did.

This is a fantastic family feel nursery. When I came to visit it as soon as I walked in I knew I wanted my children to attend. My eldest started in the pre-school after being with a childminder and settled so quickly. My youngest started in the baby room and has gone through the nursery. Both children
loved every day they were there and would go running in. The staff are fantastic and are always quick is sorting any issues out. They are attentive to all the children’s needs and promote a caring environment where everyone can succeed and develop to their own potential.

Little Lodge is a fantastic nursery and has been for a great number of years. Both my children have been through the nursery, from the baby room right up to the cabin and the care given by the staff is second to none. The nursery is well run and managed, helps children to be their very best and most
importantly has a very big heart.

My eldest son attended this nursery, now in year 1 at school and he is still welcomed as part of the extended family. My son has hearing loss and his individual needs were attended to carefully and all professionals involved in his care were welcomed. My daughter now attends pre-school and she loves
it here. Lovely friendships made and memories made for her. Great opportunities to go on visits and trips. Always professional staff and friendly staff too. They really love to work there. My third child is due to start in January at only six months old. I couldn’t imagine leaving him so young anywhere else. The carefully thought out settling in procedures are making this easier for me.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.071)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.071) out of 10 for Little Lodge Nursery Worcester is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Little Lodge Nursery Worcester is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.071 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Lodge Nursery Worcester is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 70 number of registered child places is 14. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.071

  • 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.
