My child attended Ladybird Lane from 9 months to 5 years old. The care he has been given has always been good but when the manager took over management the clear difference in the nurturing, teaching and care my child has been given is amazing. I'm grateful to the manager and to all the staff at Ladybird
Lane and would recommend this nursery/preschool to every parent.

Ladybird Lane is nothing short of amazing. This is my third daughter to pass through the setting, and I have nothing but good things to say. My daughter has grown and progressed throughout the past year in the pre-school setting. The love and support that each member of staff has given to her has been
amazing. I cannot recommend the setting more to others. I look forward to sending my fourth daughter to the setting when she's of age!

Ladybird Lane is an outstanding day nursery. The girls in the nursery go above and beyond to ensure the safety, well-being and safeguarding of all children. Nothing is too much. They create an educational environment full of fun and laughter. My boys absolutely love going there. They feel safe, it is
a complete home from home. There is no better and they deserve all that comes to them.

I couldn't recommend Ladybird Lane enough.
My two daughters have been attending for about 18 months now, both have settled and developed so well. They really enjoy their time with the staff and their friends at Ladybird.
I’m kept well informed through the app and the staff really go above and beyond
with all the fun activities, themes and events included.
I have moved to the area and my children attended a different nursery before we moved which I was content with, but Ladybird is in a different league and I’m really happy with it.

My nephews and nieces love going to Ladybird Lane. Each day there is an interactive, educational programme put on for them which is extremely important for their personal and social development in these early years. Each of the staff are wholly dedicated to their roles in the business and I couldn’t
recommend the business enough.

All the staff are very accommodating, always friendly and helpful. They have a great outside area and I love being kept up to date with various photos of the play and arts/crafts activities, etc they've been up too during the day. They're always coming up with new and creative ideas to make the nursery
a fun and enjoyable experience for the children with various events/outside agencies coming in as well. Overall I think Ladybird Lane is a fabulous nursery.

My child has been going there for the past 2 years and he made such good relationships with staff and made good friends with other children. The staff are great and very friendly to parents. My child’s immune system is not that great, so I do try and remind staff to wash his hands often. They are also
good at keeping you informed about what is happening with my child.

Ladybird Lane offer a truly exceptional service! As a parent I am kept well informed through the app which is consistently updated throughout the day. The staff are absolutely wonderful and I have every confidence in their capabilities and level of care. The end of day report for each room is detailed
and I'm always amazed at how much activity they've managed to pack in to nurture the development of my child. They are on top of their systems and procedures and the premises are spotless, engaging with health and safety a major priority.

My child is happy to arrive at this location and always smiling when leaving which I think speaks volumes about the staff and facilities. The staff keep me updated throughout the date and are very accessible should I have any queries. My child benefits from the staff applying the current curriculum
and extracurricular activities and excursions. The menus are balanced and healthy. Every child appears to be included in all activities.

The owner and her team run a beautiful nursery with a real family feel, the staff are so helpful and all smiling they all clearly love their jobs. The activities for kids are all Montessori-led and their innovation and imagination for everything from themes to tuff tray setups are unique. Their preschool
setup really works to prepare them for primary with reading, maths, social skills and attention skills. So delighted that I was able to send my little one here as they love it so much.

Amazing nursery with caring staff that go the extra mile. My wee one left her treasured teddies behind one Friday evening. I didn't discover until the nursery was closed. I messaged the nursery on Saturday morning and the manager opened up for me. This meant the world to my wee one and to me. They knew
how important it was to get the teddies back to my wee one. Cannot recommend highly enough, plus always amazing events taking place each term. My child is in safe hands, that is priceless.

Ladybird Lane is an amazing nursery, with such great values at its core. The staff do so many activities with the children each day to make learning experiences fun and enjoyable. They are so approachable, friendly and caring it makes it much easier for little ones to settle in. They go above and beyond
daily and nothing is ever any hassle to them.
Overall we rate Ladybird Lane 10/10 and couldn’t recommend more.

Ladybird Lane is an excellent daycare/nursery facility and I couldn't recommend the staff and environment enough! They provide fantastic care, activities and support to both the children and families. My son and daughter love their time here and always come out smiling with plenty of stories to tell!
I wouldn't leave my babies anywhere else. Staff are friendly, the environment is warm and inviting for the children and all measures are taken to make it safe and secure for the little ones! My son is an EpiPen holder, all training was provided to ensure his safety using this and even the menu changed to suit his needs on the days he is in! You are updated on their progress throughout the day and they are always quick in replying when you send messages/calls etc. giving you peace of mind! 5*

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.987)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.987) out of 10 for Ladybird Lane Day Nursery 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.987 for Ladybird Lane Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (308 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 312 Ratings = 4.987

  • 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 Ladybird Lane Day Nursery is based on 26 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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 26 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.
