Our youngest attends and absolutely loves it. She has made friends with both staff and other children and it is such a lovely environment for children to thrive in. My eldest also came here and even now they remember how much fun they had!
We are always greeted with a friendly face, updates about what
our child has done and if we ever have a question or query, they're happy to help. They're also fab with dietary needs and regularly check in to make sure they have the right information. Absolutely amazing day nursery! Would 100% recommend.

Love the nursery and staff, almost all of my six children have been here and if I ever have more they will come here too! The room activities are switched up daily, the staff are lovely and the boys love the staff which is important. Hope it continues to provide the level of service for many years to
come!

My children are currently 6, 4 and 2 years old. The older two attended Ladybirds and my 2 year old is currently there. They all started when they were 1 years old. I think that speaks volumes as I keep sending my children there. The staff are attentive and flexible and have been able to identify the
different personalities and needs of all my children who are all very different and care for them accordingly.
I did try a childminder for my youngest simply due to logistics as she was able to pick my older two up from school aswell, but the standards of care was dangerous resulting in OFSTED and LADO complaints and I quickly returned to Ladybirds who have been amazing. Over the years staff have left, and new members have joined but mostly the same people that are there now were there when my eldest attended which is amazing, which again, I think speaks volumes. Overall I am very happy with Ladybirds and have no complaints Although cost wise it is a bit expensive as with all childcare.

My son has settled really well at Ladybirds Day Nursery. The staff are very welcoming, friendly and supportive. The learning environments are lovely and there is lots of choice for children to play with. The children celebrate lots of key events throughout the year e.g World Book Day, and we have enjoyed
looking at what he brings home!

I have had at least one child enrolled at any one time at Ladybirds for the last 9 years.
The staff are great, and very supportive. Rooms are clean and activities are educational and fun. Both of my kids have always been so happy at nursery, their needs are met well, they have great food and even
little day trips sometimes!
Come September I'll have no children enrolled, and I think the whole family will be a little sad about that!
Thanks Ladybirds!

My two sons have been at ladybirds nursery since being 9/10 month old. My eldest stayed until he left for reception, my youngest son is still there.
All of the staff at ladybirds are amazing, they have been with both of my sons. They make adjustments to ensure your children are as comfortable as they
can be and treat them like they are their own family member. They know your child's likes/dislikes and adapt their provision on days they are in to try cater for all children's needs.
They keep you informed about any changes and everything is a joint decision of what is best for your child.
Initially I worked varying shift pattern and the manager was very accommodating, as long as i told her a month in advance she would allow me to adjust the days my son was in each month.
I'll be very sad when my youngest son leaves to go to reception. I cannot speak highly enough of them all.

My little girl currently attends this nursery, having started in July 2024, and my little boy went here until he started school. The care and attention from the manager and her amazing team have been remarkable, helping my little boy adapt and develop during his time there. He made wonderful progress
in key skills like potty training, writing, maths and learning to spell his name. It's been equally wonderful to see my little girl thriving in such a supportive and nurturing environment. I can't recommend this nursery enough-it's truly a fantastic place for young children to learn and grow!

Most staff are lovely and attentive, my daughter is always well looked after and has come on leaps and bounds since starting at nursery. The activity days are always very varied and inclusive for all the children to have fun and learn.

My daughter has attended the nursery full time since she was 7 months old. She has been provided with nothing but care. The staff work with you on all of the life changing events: weaning, learning to walk, communication and toilet training to make the process seamless between home and nursery. We can
not fault the care given and would highly recommend to other families.
My daughter is excited every morning when she wakes telling me it's nursery today and then naming her friends and the staff.

My little one has been with the nursery about a year now, she absolutely loves the staff, they are so friendly, they are really good with her if she's having an off morning or teething, she is learning so much from the staff & the other children, the activities they do are brilliant including water
play, paints, outdoor play, food play, the food the cook does always sounds brilliant, my little one never goes hungry & has plenty to eat while there

We have had the best experience! This is my first child into nursery and I couldn't be more reassured he is happy, safe and learning lots. All staff have built a relationship with him. We had superb transition and I love how they transitioned them into new rooms. Everything has been at child's pace.
I have one very happy little boy who loves going to nursery and has learnt to much! The staff have been nothing but supportive, couldn't wish for better start for my little one.

4 out of my 5 children have attended this brilliant nursery and the only reason my first didn't go is because it hadn't been converted at the time! The staff are great and the kids come home tired, but happy. Can't ask for more really.

My daughter has been attending Ladybird's Nursery since February 2016. We choose this nursery as it's where my son went. The nursery has not let me down. They are fantastic on everything. They genuinely care about the children, their development and overall enjoyment.
My daughter has excelled at the
nursery. Her numeracy and phonics are great. Admittedly, we've not done enough at home with her compared to her older brother but by being 2nd child and going to nursery earlier on, she's probably doing better than our son did at that age.

We brought our daughter to Ladybirds after having a poor experience with a different childcare provider, we thought that our child would have issues settling into a new place, but we needn't have worried. She has settled in over the past 2 months extremely well and looks forward to attending nursery
each day. She talks about the exciting things they have done during the day with her and seems to have created a bond with her key worker and the lovely staff.


As parents dropping off and collecting each day, we are pleased to see the room setting themes being changed every week and new exciting toys and tasks set for the children to do, every week seems different and so the children are never bored. The staff are always helpful and so pleasant. We would have no doubts in recommending Ladybirds to anyone.


Keep up the fantastic work you are doing; Manager and Team :)

My son has been coming to Ladybirds Day Nursery since he was a baby almost 5 years ago. I couldn't be happier with Ladybirds Day Nursery and have never had cause to complain. It's well run with a great manager and excellent staff. The facilities and activities are great and constantly changed to keep
the children stimulated and engaged. Great nursery and I'm glad I chose it.

Every time out child visits nursery, it is exceptional. Staff are brilliant and they know our child inside out. The activities and learning experiences that are provided are outstanding. Each room caters for every stage and development of the individual child. We would recommend this nursery to anyone.
Not only is everyone friendly, staff and manager are flexible with day and hours to suit working families. A brilliant nursery!!!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.964)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.964) out of 10 for Ladybirds Day Nursery 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.964 for Ladybirds Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (162 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.964

  • 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 Ladybirds Day Nursery is based on 14 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 67 number of registered child places is 13.4, which has been reached with 14 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.
