My 19-month-old has attended Little People Nursery for the last 7 months. The nursery is fantastic, as are all the staff. The baby room staff really focus on understanding each child, they know her likes and dislikes and completely understand her little personality. Nursery is her safe space, she is
so excited every morning to go in and play with her friends (little people and big people) and we feel so assured knowing she's cared for so well. Our daughter particularly enjoys all the crafts and activities as well as day trips and walks in the warmer weather. Despite being in the baby room, all staff make an effort to know the children and learn their names including management which we think is a lovely touch!

Lovely, friendly staff. My daughter has grown so much in such little time since joining in August. Always kept up to date with daily activities. Staff are always helpful and approachable. Gives me comfort knowing that my daughter is being looked after well and is a big relief with leaving her.

My 8-year-old daughter went to Little People Nursery from 6 months old until she went to school. My now 1-year-old attends Little People Nursery too. It's just the best nursery. The same girls are all working there from when my daughter left 4 years ago. The consistency of care is spot on and I genuinely
feel like my kids are so so loved. It's lovely to see them thrive from babies until they are ready for school. My kids both love the nursery and my 8-year-old loves coming back in for a visit and the girls always make a fuss over her which she loves. They love the topics they all do and encourage friendships that last until they leave. It's amazing.

My little boy has been attending Little People Nursery now since 2022. We can't fault the nursery the girls are amazing with all the children. They are dedicated to ensuring the children are all happy and their needs are always met. They take the children out on day trips to ensure the children are
having lots of different experiences and learning when out and about. I can't thank all the staff enough for what they do every day. I would recommend Little People Nursery to everyone.

My daughter started Little People Nursery when she was 9 months old. I was apprehensive about leaving my baby and was very anxious in the early days. The staff were very welcoming, caring and I quickly became confident that my daughter would be in safe hands when I left. My daughter is now 4 years old
and is about to complete her final months at Little People before school transition. She has built such a strong bond with many of the staff members and fellow peers. Watching her develop into a confident and independent child, loving to learn has been a joy. The staff go over and beyond for our family as well as all others. Many thanks to them all.

Our now 2-year-old has been part of the nursery since she was 8 months old and she couldn't be happier there. The staff are lovely and so helpful. It's also a great value for money, and the care is excellent. They make leaving your little one so much easier as you can be sure they're well taken care
of.

Find the staff fantastic, my grandson loves going to nursery and enjoys the interaction with other children and I see something new in him every time he attends, his understanding of colours numbers and using language in context has come on in leaps and bounds. The staff are all approachable and very
good at keeping us updated on my grandson's progress.

Both my children attended Little People Nursery and now only one of them left there. But from the minute both of them started right to this very second I have had nothing but huge amounts of gratitude and appreciation for the staff who all care for my children. I know my kids attending Little People
Nursery are supported, cared for, having fun, learning and enjoying their time there. From nap time to potty training, to coming off the dummy and exploring each area of development the children’s lives are always so important to the staff. Not only are my kids cared for by the staff, and their welfare and best interests but also mine and their dad are cared for too. We’ve had nothing but support for each day, or situation at surfaces. I’d never want anything different for my kids and 1 billion % made the best decision to choose Little People Nursery as my children’s childcare provider.

My son has attended Little People Nursery for over 6 months now and I couldn’t be more impressed with the nursery overall. I was so unsure of whether or not to put my son into nursery due to allergies and health issues but the staff go above and beyond to accommodate to my son's needs, the staff are
lovely and caring, extremely thorough at handovers which is amazing. My son has progressed massively since attending this nursery and walks in excitedly every day, thank you to the staff for going above and beyond for my boy and putting my mind at ease.

My son has been at this nursery for almost a year now and has come on massively in this time. I was worried about putting him into nursery but after being recommended Little People and coming to visit I knew this was the best place I could put him and I was right. He has developed so much in this short
time and loves his time at nursery. The staff go above and beyond in every way for the children and I couldn't think of better people to leave him with. Nothing but praise and positive things to say about this nursery and would 100% recommend it to anyone looking at nurseries for their babies/children.

My daughter recently started at Little People Nursery. I could not be more impressed with the nursery itself and all of the staff, from my daughter's first visit to her starting the girls have all been so lovely and always welcoming and extremely caring and kind. Always reassuring me and ensuring her
time at nursery is a positive experience for not just her but me too. I would highly recommend Little People Nursery to anyone who is looking to put their child into nursery. Each time I have been in the nursery either dropping off or collecting my daughter every child I have seen has looked so happy and well looked after and every member of staff are always busy with the children.

Our baby has been doing amazing. The staff are so skilled and lovely to interact with. They have settled our baby in no time and have met all his needs without problems. We have quite some experience with other nurseries in the area, and we can say that the Little People Nursery has been the best so
far.

I moved my little boy here in January this year from another local nursery. I have to say I wish I had done it sooner! The difference from his previous nursery is night and day. He loves it, all the staff and other children are great. I love getting weekly updates and pictures and they are always away
on trips! Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

My two children have been in Little People Nursery coming up to a year now. The staff have been fantastic and always work around the children's needs. As with my two being in different groups, they would always make each be aware they have each other if they feel upset. My two kids absolutely love the
nursery and love the staff. They feel content with them and are happy to go with them (both kids are funny with people). Always understanding and making sure I am always aware of my kid's activities. I couldn't ask for such a better team. Always happy and always make your child feel welcome. This makes me so reassured and happy to leave with no guilt which is a massive part of leaving your child. I wouldn't change anything about them. Thank you for always making my kids feel safe and welcome.

The nursery really makes the effort to support my child and provides a safe place for them to learn and play. They take the time to create activities for the children to explore and enjoy. All the staff are friendly and approachable, they also have a great open lines of communication. They also have
a fantastic app. I would highly recommend this nursery and cannot wait for my other child to join in January.

My little boy started here in September 2021 due to a nursery move and I couldn’t have picked a better nursery for him. His confidence and development from starting this nursery is crazy, he’s a completely different boy from when he was at his old nursery to now. He absolutely loves this nursery and
everyone in it. He’s definitely a lot happier in this nursery, all the staff are amazing couldn’t fault anyone. Another year in this amazing nursery for my boy before he goes to school.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.910)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.910) out of 10 for Little People Nursery 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.910 for Little People Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.91

  • 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 People Nursery is based on 13 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 13 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.
