My second child currently attends this nursery after my first child enjoyed it so much. The nursery is in a lovely setting which lends itself to outdoor play and learning. The staff go above and beyond for each child

Brilliant nursery staff, the care and attention they give our child is excellent, and they are always able to give a full update on how our child has been during the day. Huge range of activities are put on for the children, and they are taken outside to play almost every day (weather permitting). Great
updates through the app and lovely weekly round up posts so you can see what your kids have been up to.

Since starting at LT St Arvans my son's speech & language needs were flagged right away, a plan put in place and full transparency from the nursery regarding their concerns. They put us at ease right away with their attentiveness.


4 months on and my son is thriving. His speech has improved and his

confidence is undeniable. They have nurtured him and adapted surroundings to help him when he needs it.


Thank you Investigators!

We couldn't be happier with our child going to Little Trees St Arvans. The four individuals who care for our son do such an amazing job: they care for him, encourage him, provide fantastic opportunities and activities and have great communication. We know that when he attends nursery he is safe and
loved and as a parent that is all you want from a nursery setting in my opinion. I really feel they go above and beyond to ensure all the children in their care reach their full potential with any additional needs being met in collaboration with the parents.


Additionally the management team are now fantastic: again they have great communication, they are approachable, friendly, professional and helpful and I have full faith that they are leading the nursery setting with clear direction and purpose.


Finally, even members of staff who aren't in our son's room full time always welcome him with a big smile and kind words and lots of love. Again this means the world to us! Thank you!

When we moved to the area, our son struggled, but Little Trees did everything they could to help him settle and I cannot thank them enough. They genuinely care about every child and what interests them. They also make everything so much fun!

We moved our 3yo from another local setting which had good reviews but where, even after a year of going, often he was hysterical at the idea of going. Within a fortnight of starting at Little Trees, he was like a different child. The staff are well trained, creative and fun, they obviously love and
respect the children, the food served is nutritious and well portioned. Activities are great fun and the inside and outside spaces are well thought out, plentiful and well looked after. Overall I am so pleased we made the decision to move here and I readily recommend it to others considering a local setting

My daughter loves going to preschool and has been with Little Trees St Arvans since she was 11 months old. The staff really do go above and beyond to make sure she feels loved and cared for and they have helped with any spouts of separation anxiety in such a perfect way. The activities they put on are
fantastic and she has learnt so much, she always surprises me when she comes out with some Welsh phrases or songs!
The outdoor space in preschool is brilliant, an excellent space for free play and adventure.
Thank you for making my daughter's time with you so special, I know that she is safe and cared for.

My son has only been there for 1 week but what a difference in him already.
Can honestly say he seems a different child.
Happier, more outgoing, just great.
The staff seem a lot more engaged and when I pick him up they are able to give me a detailed description of his day. Just helps and makes me
feel confident that my son is being well cared for.

We were unhappy with the first nursery our daughter attended, and we decided to try Little Trees Day Nursery St Arvans after hearing so many positive stories. And we are so glad we did! The atmosphere feels like a warm hug. The staff are fantastic and my daughter comes away from every session with something
new that she has learned. We cannot thank Little Trees enough for the care and dedication they deliver every time. Thank you!

Little Trees Day Nursery St Arvans is a wonderful setting for any child. My little one started there when she was three. I thought she would struggle as she had come from a much quieter setting but she fully embraced the staff and activities. All the staff are so supportive and really take the time
to get to know you as a parent and are fully knowledgeable of what goes on with your child during the day. The activities they create each day for them is insane! It makes me tired just seeing the pictures!

Moving my son here in October 2020 was the best decision! He's been through all age groups and is now in the pre-school group. I can honestly say at every stage, not only has he been fully supported and cared for, but so have we- the parents. It's rare to find an establishment these days that run so
well but still has that human/personal feel. The manager runs this place amazingly and clearly hires the right kind of teachers who genuinely care about the children and families. I've always felt totally confident dropping off my child, cannot fault this nursery and always highly recommend!

Little Trees Day Nursery St Arvans has provided a welcoming and supportive environment for our family. The staff know the children well, tailor learning to the children's interests, and they go above and beyond to ensure all children feel included. Our child loves attending the setting and has formed
positive relationships with staff and other children, and we look forward to hearing their daily account of their adventures and learning. Staff are approachable, professional, and friendly. The communication between staff and parents is good, and they are always happy to listen and give daily feedback. We highly recommend this nursery/preschool provider, especially for children with additional medical needs.

We were apprehensive about the nursery, after having a baby during the pandemic and moving house to a new area. Our nerves were calmed by the incredible experience at Little Trees St Arvans. As our child began their journey, management and room staff helped us feel relaxed by explaining the Little Trees
philosophy and committing to working in partnership with us as parents. As our child has transitioned through two room changes, we have built great relationships with all staff. The beauty of Little Trees is the commitment they make to every child, getting to know the family and ensuring the unique child is at the centre of their practice. Through the upheavals we have personally faced, Little Trees has been a constant source of consistency and a foundation for growth. We know staff are dedicated to our child's development and individual interests and working with us to guide them through childhood. We feel so lucky to have found Little Trees and to have made them a cornerstone of our child's life.

My child has been attending Little Trees for two years and I could not be happier with the care and support that he receives there. All the staff are exceptional, they do everything for the children to ensure they are happy and have the best time at nursery. The daily activities are great and they spend
a lot of time outdoors which my child loves. We love having the daily/weekly updates and photos to see what they have been up to. Everything that the staff do I know they have the children's best interests at heart. I have noticed such a difference in my child's confidence whilst attending Little Trees, staff interact on such a personal level, it really is lovely and everything we could wish for in a nursery for our child.

St. Arvans Little Trees is a fantastic nursery managed extremely well with excellent communication. Can't fault any of the team they are wonderful and go above and beyond to make sure my daughter is happy and settled. They are always thinking up creative new activities the Christmas goody bag they brought
home was amazing. My daughter has grown in confidence and absolutely loves going to nursery which makes working full-time so much easier for me. Thank you.

Little Trees Nursery St Arvans have been absolutely brilliant since Louis started in September and we couldn't be more pleased. Everything is so professional and Louis has come on so much since starting here.


The staff are all absolutely brilliant and have gone above and beyond regarding our little

boy's additional needs to secure him the support he needs. I couldn't recommend the nursery enough.

Both my children go to this nursery and it is wonderful. Every child is listened to and catered for! Every day is full of books, singing, music, arts and crafts, games, outside play, free play and yummy food. They also do theme days for things like World Book Day and Winnie the Pooh day. I know exactly
what the kids have eaten, how much sleep they've had and how many nappy changes as the staff updates the parent app regularly. My eldest enjoys nursery so much that he asks to go on the weekends! Can't recommend Little Trees St Arvans enough.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.407)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.407) out of 10 for Little Trees Day Nursery St Arvans 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 8 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 4.917 for Little Trees Day Nursery St Arvans is calculated as follows: ( (89 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.917

  • 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 4.49 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Trees Day Nursery St Arvans is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.6 = 0.69

  • 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.
