Happy with all aspects of care of the children. The children are stimulated with new activities with continuous investment in outdoor and indoor playing areas.


The children have a strong bond with the nursery staff - leading to very happy and content children.


Reply from sharon fairley, director at Little Flyers @ Ingliston

Thank you Penny, it is so nice to know that the children are happy, and the staff value the feedback.
It is also great to know that the ongoing investment is noticed.
Sharon.

My son has been at Little Flyers @ Ingliston for 15 months and enjoyed his time in the baby room, and now loves the 2-5 room. When I drop him off each day he can't wait to run into the room and say goodbye to me and from this, I know he feels safe, secure and happy. When I collect him at the end of
the day he is always smiling and happy and it is clear he has had an enjoyable day.


The other children are all very happy too which reinforces my thoughts that the staff really take care of the children. The nursery building itself may be small but it is very well organised and the outdoor space is excellent. Our son was very late to start walking due to a medical problem he had at birth and the staff have done everything to encourage him to walk and build his confidence. His walking has come on leaps and bounds due to the support from the nursery staff who are with him every day.


I couldn't recommend the Little Flyers @ Ingliston nursery enough.


Reply from Sharon Fairley, Director at Little Flyers @ Ingliston

Hi Wendy, thank you for this. It is amazing to see how far your wee one has come on. Its great how staff manage to create such a great environment, in quite a small building, and it is great how the large garden allows us to extend the opportunities. Hope to see you soon. Sharon :-)

My daughter has been at this nursery for nearly 7 months, and she has thrived in her confidence, interpersonal and communication skills. The nursery has a fresh approach, and through good management, they really do put the children's development centric to all of their decisions and core tasks. The
nursery has a lovely environment, with good structure and values-based learning.

Reply from sharon fairley, director at Little Flyers @ Ingliston

Thank you, Lucie, for taking the time to write a lovely positive review. It is great to hear feedback on how your wee girl is growing in confidence, and recognising our approach to childcare, which is supported greatly by Claire and her team.

Little Flyers was a great find. Excellent facilities, there's a large garden with lots of play areas for the children. They have an allotment of vegetables and fruit that the children help to look after. They do activities like bird watching and get involved and learn about the environment, keeping
it tidy and recycling. The children learn so much but always have fun whilst doing so. My little boy gets so excited to go to Little Flyers. He has food allergies and the staff have always been brilliant with looking out for reactions etc and know exactly what to do if he were to have a reaction to anything. I can go to work knowing he receives excellent care. The staff are always helpful and very friendly. My little boy loves all the staff and the other children that go to Little Flyers and can't wait to get to nursery.

Reply from Sharon Fairley, Owner at Little Flyers @ Ingliston

Thanks Stephanie for your great comments about Little Flyers. The children just love being outside, and we all enjoy coming up with new ideas. The children can't wait until the chickens start laying their own eggs. We are also glad that you found us :-)

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Very homely environment and like how it is smaller so that all the children mix especially if they are only in for a few sessions. As soon as I went for the nursery visit I got that gut feeling to go with Little Flyers as I was made to feel very welcome and therefore knew that my baby would find it
easy to settle in.
The learning log lets you see how they are getting on which is great and you can also make comments.

Reply from Sharon Fairley, Owner at Little Flyers @ Ingliston

Thanks Hollie for taking the time to write this, it is really reassuring to know that families are happy with Little Flyers, and that you feel confident in choosing us. Thanks Sharon :-)

Little Flyers have taken care of all our 3 boys, and we have now been customers of theirs continuously for over 4 years.


They have always been brilliant to the kids and us, and the boys have been really happy there. They seem to have a really great culture in terms of how they treat their staff,

which in turn means the staff are great with the kids.


I would (and often have) recommend Little Flyers without reservation to other parents.


Reply from Sharon Fairley, Owner at Little Flyers @ Ingliston

Thanks Elaine for writing your review, it's been great having the boys. Thank you for recommending us, and really nice of you to comment about how we treat the staff, they are all a fantastic team, and a credit to Little Flyers. Sharon :-)

We have been very happy with Little Flyers nursery. The small size really appealed to us and our daughter really does feel at home there. All the staff are caring and have time to discuss my child's progress. The nursery is always trying to improve, in the few years we've been using the nursery there
have been lovely changes to the outdoor space and introduction of healthy meals. We really like the outdoor space and friendly atmosphere at the nursery, but more importantly our daughter loves going to nursery here.

Thank you Lorna for your lovely review, it is really appreciated by all of us, and so pleased you are all happy at Little Flyers. Sharon :-)

Nursery, where my child spends his time is very good. Staff is very helpful and friendly for both parents and children. They are organizing trips for kids and spend a lot of time in the garden. Garden (playground) is amazing. It is very large and super-developed. Children learn a lot of useful things.
Jointly with their teachers created a vegetable garden. My child likes to spend in kindergarten.
I strongly recommend this nursery.

Absolute great nursery! My daughter has been at this nursery since she was 1 and is now 3, wouldn't put her anywhere else! Staff are fantastic with the children, as it is quite a small nursery with less children the staff have more time to interact and communicate with the child, and really get to know
each child and there personality's. The garden is a great size, with plenty for the children to do. The learning side of things are excellent, they get topics for all the children to learn about through different activities. They have also have day trips out to the highland show each year which my wee girl has loved.

Reply from sharon fairley, owner at Little Flyers @ Ingliston

Thanks Farrah, for taking the time to comment and say positive things about the nursery.
It really does mean a lot to me, and the girls, to know that you are all happy, and I hope other families find the reviews helpful, when trying to decide on a nursery.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We chose this nursery for 2 reasons - we both work at the airport and we get a 5% discount and days can be changed every week - as shift workers this is brilliant.
However, I'm very pleased to say that our son has thrived being here. It's smaller than a couple of other nurseries that we looked at and
that definitely has advantages. It's very friendly and homely - more like being at a childminders house. They all eat in the kitchen and help to grow veg and look after the chickens in the garden.
He is always shattered when I pick him up and usually covered in paint, glue or mud - which is fab. I love that he gets to play out, whatever the weather, and gets messy!
We are very pleased with this nursery and very happy that we chose it.

Little flyers helped our daughter settle in with very short notice of a placement. The range of activities, meals and outings are of a very high standard. The nursery has a flexibility option which suits our needs. We couldn't rate them high enough, expectations exceeded.

Reply from Sharon Fairley, owner at Little Flyers @ Ingliston

Thank you so much, for saying such nice things. It means a lot to us all, that the children and families are happy. The children just loved seeing the chicks hatch (and the parents) and now everyone is enjoying the fresh eggs.
Thanks again. Sharon :-)

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.985)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.985) out of 10 for Little Flyers @ Ingliston 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.985 for Little Flyers @ Ingliston is calculated as follows: ( (130 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.985

  • 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 Little Flyers @ Ingliston is based on 11 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 21 number of registered child places is 4.2, which has been reached with 11 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.
