I could not wish for a better nursery for my daughter! The staff are incredible and I'm constantly amazed by all the wonderful activities they do with them and the different subjects they teach them about each and every week. My daughter absolutely loves it here and it’s an absolute credit to the fantastic
work they do.

I can't recommend this nursery enough. My son thrives here and the staff know him so well. I feel so reassured knowing he is in the care of staff who genuinely know him inside out and care for him. As a first-time mum, the staff have often guided me through the different stages of my son's development
and have provided advice and support, they go above and beyond the level of support a nursery should provide. It has been lovely to see the genuine relationships my son has built with other children and staff as a result of the excellent care he receives. He is exposed to so much that we as parents may not have been able to make possible, which has been invaluable in his development. Thank you Small World!

We've got our third baby going through this nursery now and I can't imagine having had a better experience. Their consistency in delivering a nurturing, safe and loving environment has been solid over the 6 years we have trusted them with our children. They have all thrived and it makes me sad to think
of the day we don't have them as part of our daily routine. Their expertise, support and provision has been invaluable and I can't rate them enough.

Our daughter has been at Small World for two and a half years now since she was 1 and she couldn’t be happier. Skips inside when I drop her off and comes home smiling every day. Fantastic team from top to bottom who constantly keep you informed of her daily antics and learning journey along the way
through their app. Great learning structure with focused attention to details. Honestly couldn’t fault them. I think it’s going to be a teary day the day she leaves for school. Thanks so much.

My son has settled in so well into nursery and he is always so happy when I collect him. He has come on a lot since starting nursery, and this is down to the hard work of the staff. I love how small the nursery is; I know all of the staff who work there and have developed good, professional relationships
with those who look after my son daily in the baby room. Every day during pick up and drop off there is an opportunity to talk to the staff about my son and we often have conversations about his development, what we can do at home and at nursery to support this. I like that you can go into the nursery and see the setting, it has a real family feel to it. Staff are inquisitive about my wants and needs for my son; they want him to feel at home in nursery. I cannot thank staff enough and would recommend the nursery to everyone!

My 2-year-old son absolutely loves attending Small World and can't wait to go and see his friends each day (including the staff!). The staff are absolutely fantastic and go above and beyond for the children. There are new activities to keep the children occupied, entertained and challenged every day
in a fun, safe and caring environment. When the weather allows it, the children are encouraged to continue their play and learning outdoors which my little boy loves!

Our 2-year-old girl has been attending Small World for 2-3 days a week since she was ten months old. Initially, like lots of parents, we were a bit anxious about how she would settle in. From the very beginning, the owners and wider team of staff have been nothing short of amazing, making both her and
us feel so welcome and at ease in their lovely little community. My little girl simply loves it. Her key worker has been incredible, and one of the many wonderful things about this nursery is that every other member of staff also knows our daughter so well. Not only do I feel at ease after leaving her there in the morning, I actually feel like I'm doing her a favour! We could not recommend it enough to anyone looking for somewhere safe, caring and fun for their child.

As first-time parents, we were very anxious about sending our little boy to nursery full-time, but we honestly couldn't have chosen a better place for him to be! The staff are always warm and welcoming, and the care that he receives is outstanding. We receive daily updates about his progress (which
has been amazing since joining Small World!), and he just adores his time there. We absolutely love that the nursery teaches - alongside language! Our son has picked this up so quickly, and we have been amazed at his communication skills. We are truly grateful to all of the amazing staff for settling our son so well and are looking forward to watching him flourish even further under their care. We have the greatest peace of mind knowing that he is safe and happy, and we really couldn't wish for anything more!

My little girl loves it here. She has so much fun and learns lots of new things.
Always excited to go and comes home talking none stop about her day.
They do so many different things - no week is the same.
Good health meals at lunchtime.
The app is a brilliant way to communicate, and we get many
lovely updates.

Moving my little girl to Small World was by far the best decision I ever made. After having a bad experience at another local nursery, I decided to move my little one to Small World, and the difference in the setting, staff and progress my daughter has been making is astounding.
All staff and managers
are genuinely interested in the progress of my daughter; they go above and beyond to encourage her and instantly made her (and me!) feel welcome and part of their family. You can tell this is not just a job for the staff here; they are caring and considerate and overall very experienced at what they do!
I get regular updates from my daughters' key worker on the steps she is making and how they are tailoring their age-appropriate activities. I trust the staff here entirely, and more importantly, my little girl loves them all! She runs in and sometimes wants to stay longer when I go to pick her up! I will definitely be sending my newborn here and would recommend it to anyone.

Amazing team. We have a boy that's been going since he was one, and as first-time parents, we were very nervous about it. The team were amazing in helping him and us settle in. Can't thank them enough - truly set our minds to rest, and he's coming along excellent running in when we drop him off. And
love the updates throughout the day.

I cannot speak highly enough of Small World. My daughter was struggling with talking in front of adults, and I suspected selective mutism. The depths the SENCO went to in order to support my daughter and implement strategies were above and beyond. Her key worker spoke with me daily, and now my daughter
is talking freely and gaining more and more confidence every day. This, I believe, is definitely down to the support received from all at Small World. They are simply wonderful!

My son started at Small World soon after he turned two, going into toddlers. He's now in the preschool room and learning more and more every day. I can't say enough good things about this nursery; the staff are kind, caring and always upbeat. They keep me up to date with how my son is doing and the
progress he's making, and he always leaves with a smile on his face. He's made some good friends at Small World, and we're really going to miss it when he has to go to big school!

My daughter has just started her new adventure in reception after having the best start possible at Small World. The amazing staff had made sure she was school ready with the skills needed to start school, but most importantly, doing so whilst ensuring she felt safe, loved and happy! Both my children
have attended here since they were just under 1 year old, and we've always been so happy with the care they've received! Thanks to all the team who filled us with the confidence to drop off our precious little ones each day, knowing they were in the best hands!

Leaving this review to say a huge thank you to all the wonderful staff at Small World. My son left today to start reception, age 4 and has been attending since 11 months old. What a wonderful start he has had attending this nursery. He has loved it so much and received such excellent care. It's true
that leaving your child here feels like dropping them off with family. I have spent this evening reading the most amazing scrapbook of his memories at Small World. I can't recommend this nursery highly enough!

Small World Day Nursery is the most incredible nursery, and I would highly recommend it. Staff are warm and friendly and feel more like family after having both of our children attend there over a number of years. We have loved watching our children grow and develop with the outstanding guidance from
the Small World Team. We will truly miss going to the nursery every day, but love the fact our children have made fantastic memories and lifelong friends.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.997)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.997) out of 10 for Small World Day Nursery and Pre-School Ltd 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 4.997 for Small World Day Nursery and Pre-School Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (310 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 311 Ratings = 4.997

  • 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 Small World Day Nursery and Pre-School Ltd 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 33 number of registered child places is 6.6, 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.
