The staff really understand my child - they treat him as an individual. They discuss concerns and make sure we are all on the same page. All the staff are really lovely and supportive. My boy always comes home smiling. There's always lots of outdoor play and lots of different activities they can get
involved in, but it's always about what the children want to do.

Our son has recently joined the nursery and we could not be happier with the level of care and kindness he has been shown. He has settled in straight away which is testament to the wonderful staff and he comes home smiling every day. The communication from the staff is also to be commended. They have
been fantastic letting us know during the day how he has been settling in and sending photos of our happy little chap for reassurance. A really wonderful setting!

I have no concerns at all about sending my boy to Little Trees, which for a mum, is rare - there's usually always something to worry over! I know he is very well looked after as the staff pay great attention to his physical and emotional well-being. He does varied, stimulating activities every week
that focus on developing different skills all the time. The communication is brilliant too, so I'm able to talk to him about what he's been learning about or playing with. Most of all, he loves it too!

The nursery staff are all very caring and attentive. My daughter loves going to the nursery and seeing the staff and her friends. The activities like moo music are always a big hit with my daughter. Excellent communication between the staff and myself; they keep me updated on my daughter's day, lots
of pictures and also her learning assessments.

Little Trees has been such a success for our daughter. She settled in straight away, and it was immediately clear to us that the staff were so warm and welcoming. She has now been at Little Trees for four months, and we love it. The staff are so creative, caring and understanding. We have felt very
supported. The activities the children do are brilliant, and it's always lovely seeing the photos too. Thank you, Little Trees.

My child loves Little Trees and all the staff there! The pre-school room is great preparation for school in September. The food is well varied, healthy and yummy (I’m told)! Parent communications keep me fully up to date with what she’s been up to all day. I would highly recommend it.

Little Trees is a fantastic nursery. My daughter races through the door and barely looks back. The activities that the staff organise and support, are brilliant. We have a clear round up of the day's activities and pictures on the app. This helps us know what our daughter has been up to. You can see
in the pictures how much fun she is having. The kindness, care and attention shown to the children, by the staff, is wonderful. I know that she is being taken care of and having a brilliant time.

Our daughter has loved preschool from day 1! She is always excited to go and desperate to tell us all about her day. We couldn’t ask for a friendlier, more inviting staff. Our daughter is always greeted by name, even by members of staff working in other rooms. She thoroughly enjoys the activities the
preschool room has to offer and we are thrilled that she gets to experience so much time outside. The staff have worked extremely hard during the pandemic and we feel happy that they are doing everything possible to keep the children safe. Thank you to the wonderful Robins staff for giving our daughter such a positive start to her education.

All the staff at Robins have been amazing with my somewhat shy son. They have been supportive right from the start, great at communicating with me and clearly genuinely care about each child as an individual. My son always comes how with a big smile and is obviously very attached to the staff in his
room as well as the management. He is learning so much and always talking about the things he has done or learnt at nursery. The outdoor space is lovely and big, which was a big selling point for us and they get them out in all weathers letting them run around and get muddy which my son loves. I would recommend this nursery to any family.

I’m very happy sending my son to Robins. The staff are very engaging with parents and when I collect him I hear happy children in the rooms which makes me smile. Robins is managed by a very hard working, caring and enthusiastic manager and this seems to have flown down to the staff. My son is so excited
to tell me what he’s done during the day. I can’t thank preschool room enough for their interaction with him. He often asks if they can come to tea! Robins has come a long way since the new manager has been in place. Thank you to a wonderful team. You are the best.

The care my son receives at Robins is fantastic and the manager and all the staff are the most caring and hard-working team. They have all done everything they can in maintaining a real sense of normality for the children during these times and we even received recorded messages of stories etc and activity
packs during lockdowns. The nursery itself is beautiful with a really lovely spacious garden. I would not send my son anywhere else, the nursery really is exceptional.

My son has attended Robins since October 2020. He settled in well due to the level of care and support that was given to him from the outset. He very quickly became happy to go into the nursery, and he always comes out with a smile on his face! I love the weekly blogs and appreciate the regular observations
that keep me up to date on my child’s development and give me ideas as to how to support this at home. As a teacher in a pandemic, I am acutely aware that childcare and education settings are under constant pressure. Robins communicates clearly and quickly about any developments that may affect our children. I, therefore, feel reassured that my child is in safe hands in worrying times.

Our son joined the babies group at Robin's Day Nursery in November 2020. We were a little nervous because, throughout this pandemic, he has had very little interaction with others up until this time. We're thrilled at how well he has settled in and how comfortable he is with the staff.
The communication
is great, and we particularly like the app. It's easy to use and keeps us up-to-date with our son's progress and daily activities.
The challenges of this pandemic have been managed well. The measures that have been put in place and are followed give us the knowledge and confidence that a nursery is still a safe place for our child.
Thank you all for the warm welcome!

I would not want to send my little boy to any other nursery. The manager and her team are the warmest, welcoming and hardworking team, who throughout the pandemic, have thought outside the box, bringing us activities, recorded videos of the children's favourite nursery rhymes and storybooks. They have
gone above and beyond to support us as a family when we had a change of circumstances. They provide a nurturing, warm, educational and fun place to be for my little boy. The meals they provide are nutritional, the nursery is always clean, bright and proudly shows off the work of the children and photos of the fun they have there. The outside space is fab. I enjoy the regular photos and observations that are communicated through the app, especially through the pandemic, it provides the incite you to need as a parent. I feel as comfortable leaving him there, as I do with the family.

Overall, we find the quality of the care exceptional, the staff superb, and the environment bright, welcoming and filled with natural resources. Under the managers' leadership, Robins has gone from strength to strength in 2021. It is wonderful to see the drive towards ‘plastic-free’ and outdoor play.
My son is able to influence the activities; his happiness and development are taken seriously.


More specifically, the whole team have been amazing through the Covid crisis. The manager has taken great care to proactively communicate with parents, often picking up the phone to chat to us personally about the situation. She has set clear guidance to help keep children, staff and parents safe while preserving a great experience for children. They have gone above and beyond to post updates out of hours and around the Christmas period. During the first lockdown when nurseries were closed, they kept us entertained with stories, songs, videos and activities.


Our room leader is fantastic.

My daughter started at Robins in November following her childminder of 2 years getting a new job, at first I was nervous and thought she wouldn’t settle easily in a nursery setting but I couldn’t have been more wrong. The nursery is fantastic and she settled in amazingly even asking if she could go
on days where I was off work! The staff are fantastic and I love being able to check on how she is through the app, there is also a fabulous outdoor area. I highly recommend Robins.

Robins, and all of the lovely ladies, are simply outstanding. The way they have managed and shielded the kids and parents throughout this pandemic has made such a difference. The sacrifices the team has made should be commended.
I have twin boys. They are a handful. They are bright and full-on and
love going to Robins! They come home happy, healthy, rosy-cheeked from fresh air and tired! Result!
The main thing Robins gives me is total peace of mind. Definitely an extended family. Thanks so much!

Robins has taken wonderful care of our son from when he started there at just over 1 year old to now in pre-school. The staff are lovely and genuinely caring and he simply loves going in each day. The manager manages the nursery excellently and the approach since re-opening after lockdown has been brilliant.
We have every confidence our son is being prepared really well for school next year and so grateful he has had a great start in his education and development by attending this lovely nursery.

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.
