My son started Littles People Nursery when he was one, he has been there for nearly two years, he absolutely loves it, staff are excellent which make me feel at ease at work as he can be strange with new faces! He fitted in from the day he started and come on so well in every way. I would definitely
recommend Little People Nursery School.

My son started here last September after we discovered he was dealing with separation issues from us, due to the covid circumstances and we needed some help. Right from the very beginning, the ladies here have been amazing and so patient with our son who took a long time to settle in and get used to
time without us. In the months leading up to today, our son is a totally different child and it’s all thanks to the amazing staff that works at this nursery. Our son now talks, plays, counts and laughs which is something we never thought he would do, due to the issues we were having with him. Our son is now a typical little 3 year old who loves going to nursery and having some time apart from us. I honestly can’t thank the staff enough for everything they have done for our son and can’t wait to see where his journey here at Little People Nursery takes him.

My little boy has been there for 11 months and he absolutely loves it, the staff are incredible and it is one of the best decisions we ever made to put him there. 100% recommend it, couldn’t have picked a better nursery to put him in!

My baby has been at Little People Nursery for 6 months now. I have been so impressed with everything from settling in to communication on a daily basis and the fact that the nursery put child safety when it comes to minimising the spread of bugs. The owners are clearly spending money upgrading the place
to make the facilities as good as they can and the meals provided are balanced and varied. My baby is so happy to be going into nursery when I drop her off even though she struggled when she first started. The staff are all genuinely nice people and my baby loves them!

Great nursery and staff.
My wee girl went here and she loved it she used to get excited in the morning to go to nursery, she still talks of her nursery and misses everyone so much, they helped bring her on in leaps and bounds.

Both our sons have attended Little People and we couldn’t recommend them enough! The staff have cared for them brilliantly, nothing was too much trouble! Activities are all thought out and well planned. Wouldn’t think twice about putting a child here.

Both of my children attended Little People Nursery and I cannot thank them enough for everything they do. The staff are kind, dedicated and supportive. They go the extra mile to meet the needs of every child and provide engaging and unique learning experiences that are driven by the children’s interests.
The management are always on hand if there is anything you wish to discuss and I always feel valued and listened to as a parent. My children have come on massively since beginning their time there. I would definitely recommend Little People Nursery.

I currently have my youngest daughter in Little People Nursery, I also had my oldest here when she was younger. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and caring. The manager is very helpful and will do all she can to help if needed. My daughter has come on so much since attending, I thought she would
struggle after the past year however she settled so well and comes home very happy. I see through the apps the activities she does and get daily progress reports with lots of opportunities for outdoor play. The pricing is very reasonable and the hours are great.

My daughter started little people at 9 months, I was happy and comfortable leaving her as the staff were lovely and welcoming. My daughter settled well and thrived over the 2 years being there. Would definitely recommend.

My son loves his time at little people nursery. He has come on great his few months he has been there. The staff are also very welcoming and friendly. I think there is great opportunities for learning indoors and outdoors and I think it’s great that the children have a good outdoor space for play.

My little one is absolutely thriving at Little people nursery. The staff are fantastic and have a great bond with staff. It has been a friendly place since the start and the communication is brilliant, quick to answer any questions or worries I have had. They are always out on walks or at the park and
playing outside and we have continual updates on social media with photos of our little ones day. Would highly recommend little people's nursery to friends and family. I can go to work knowing my little one is safe and happy with people who care for her.

From the early year's practitioners to the management team these ladies make nursery everything it should be. Fun, educational, and a home from home.
I've been sending my kids there for the last 8 years between them and the service has been second to none.
They are always outside where possible
and going on adventures, everything from growing caterpillars and watching them evolve to wildlife centres to bus rides to shopping and even making friends at a local care home my kids did it all and loved every minute.
If they were sick, or sad, or just needed some extra attention staff were always on hand even the management to help throughout their time there. They even got my daughter to eat and fussy doesn't cover it with her. They gave both my kids the confidence to be themselves, to learn and to prepare for going to school so missed nothing and made the world of fuss for every achievement.

My son has been at this nursery since 6 months old and is now in his last pre school year. He has the most amazing bond with the staff throughout the building. Staff are great and very approachable, lots of educational activities on offer throughout the sessions. Highly recommend!
Thanks girls.

Very happy with the service. Friendly and professional staff good at communicating and supporting the child and family in any milestones, changes or difficulties. I love the fact that they use a lot of natural materials and real life items for play, rather than all the plastic. Children are spending
lots of time outdoors as weather allows - either on the playground (creatively constructed mostly of recycled tires and palettes, often rearranged as needed) or on walks/trips. Partnership in the council early learning childcare support has helped us to keep our child in the familiar environment for 2 more years and combine funded childcare with private. Highly recommended!

I chose this nursery for my daughter last year due to her previous nursery not opening up after first lockdown and I’m so glad I did it. She had come on so much since joining little people. All the girls are lovely and they do so much with the kids. Wish I had put my daughter there originally!

My daughter has been to little people nursery and she truly blossomed during her time there! Everything from her social skills to her vocabulary have come on faster than I ever imagined. The staff were so welcoming to both my daughter and myself and it is easy to address any queries or questions. I
can't praise all the ladies enough for all their work, they are all patient, caring and loving towards the children and made my daughters nursery experience lovely. Would highly recommend.

Highly recommend this nursery, i have tried my son in 2 different nurseries before trying him into this nursery, he instantly took a liking to this nursery, he now enjoys going to nursery. Before he was always crying in the morning and would put up a fight to go at the other nurseries. He goes in so
easily with this nursery because he enjoys it, nice staff that always interact with the children, lots of outdoor playstuff and always doing days out with the children. My child’s speech has come along so well from being in this nursery.

I enrolled my daughter at Little People Nursery when she was 7 months old. I was really nervous about it as she was very clingy with me, breastfed, and hadn’t had much interaction with other babies. The manager put all of my worries at ease, explained all of their policies regarding all of my concerns.
We had a few settling in visits, and it took no time at all for my daughter to settle in. She’s 2 and a half now and still attends full time - she loves all of the staff and gets excited whenever we talk about what she’s done at nursery or about her friends. Something I really like that I’ve observed a lot - the management are very hands on with the children and don’t just leave the floor staff to it. I always see them interacting and playing with them whilst clearly staying on top of everything else - definitely not something I’ve seen in most other nursery settings.

My nearly 4-year-old son has been attending the nursery since he was 1. I’ve found all the staff to be professional and nurturing. He has a really good relationship with all the staff and they’ve helped him become a confident, talkative little boy who has built good friendships with the other children.
The
outdoor space allows plenty of opportunity for exploration. He loves bug hunting, climbing and riding the balance bikes.
I always recommend this nursery to anyone who asks.

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.
