I can't express enough in words how much I recommend The Little Dreams Day Nursery. I consider myself lucky because my son started his journey in life with such beautiful and kind people. My son was diagnosed with autism, when he started nursery was having difficulties with switching activities, communication,
and behaviour, and was not making eye contact. The nursery team was amazing, very communicative, I had help with how to set boundaries for my son, referral to specialists for an EHCP plan, and all the support I needed. All in one, The Little Dreams Day Nursery have an incredible professional team. We are really lucky because The Little Dreams Day Nursery team was part of my son's journey and offered him a beautiful start in life. Thank you for all the beautiful memories which, for my son, will last a lifetime. With a heart full of gratitude and appreciation for all the hard work you do, I say thank you to each team member from The Little Dreams Day Nursery.

The nursery manager is excellent, our daughter really enjoyed her time there with her. However, the senior management staff are quite suspect. Our £150 deposit was not returned, and it was only a month after our daughter left, that our accountant realised. We flagged it with the Nursery, no apology
was given or explanation (we are wondering how many parents have fallen victim to this). Eventually, they just refunded the money with no response, felt like they didn't want to return what they owed. Completely unacceptable to make mistakes like this and behave like that after. Had we not mentioned it, it would have been kept by the nursery. Cannot imagine how many parents' deposits they have kept.

My little one has shown improvement in talking after going to the daycare. The staff are friendly and they take very good care of my child. I would prefer more educational activities along with the current ones. Also, it would be nice to display the everyday menu. The one on the noticeboard is showing
the same most of the time.

I was very nervous when my daughter first started at nursery but within a few months she has developed so much from being at Little Dreams.
She is always happy and excited to go and her keyworker is very kind, caring and enthusiastic. I love seeing updates about what she gets up to during the day.

Really happy with this lovely little nursery. My son has come on leaps and bounds with his development since starting at 9-months-old, and always enjoys his time there! The staff are great and always so accommodating. Would highly recommend this nursery for little ones!

We're very happy with the service provided by Little Dreams Nursery since our daughter started there approximately eight months ago. She actively looks forward to going and seeing her friends - quite the contrast from the tears when we dropped her off on her first day.
The staff are very friendly,
and her key worker always takes the time when we're picking her up to tell us how she has been and what activities she's been up to that day, as well as any milestones such as new words.
We particularly appreciate the flexibility shown by Little Dreams when we have asked if they can take her for extra days - a lifeline when we have another younger child at home!

My daughter went here for two years and absolutely loved it here. Sadly she is now at a big school; she made so many friends here, the staff are extremely friendly, and my daughter loved them all. My son will hopefully be starting here in September. Highly recommended nursery.

Our kid was 31-months old when he started nursery. He had eating and speech issues. Little Dreams team created a lovely environment for him to overcome these issues and prepared him for reception. We are thanking them a lot.

I have noticed such a difference in my child since she has started at Little Dreams Day Nursery, her language has developed tremendously as well as her social skills. She comes home very happy and tells me all the different activities she has done throughout the day. I’d highly recommend this nursery,
they are very welcoming and accommodating. The nursery has a rich learning environment and is so clean!

My son has been in attendance here for two years now, this being his last year before "big" school.
He has made many friends here and absolutely loves it.
The staff are amazing and always motivated.
My son will leave with great memories!


Highly recommended!

My son loves it there. Its a home away from home with lots of things to do and loving, caring and accommodating staff. He has been going to Little Dreams since he was 9 months old (now 19 months) and has been walking and talking since 10 months. They are great for his learning and development.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.100)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.100) out of 10 for Little Dreams Day Nursery Staines 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Little Dreams Day Nursery Staines is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.1 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Dreams Day Nursery Staines is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.1

  • 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.
