My son has attended this nursery from 11 months old and now is in pre-school. My daughter also has attended from a similar age and is now in the Tweenies room. Both my children have received outstanding care and I couldn't ask for a better childcare setting. The staff are very caring and attentive and
have been very quick to respond to any worries, questions or queries we may have had. This nursery and some key members of staff who have become like family to us. Me and my husband can go to work knowing our kids are safe, well looked after and are learning in the process too. Thank you for all your hard work to the Arnold Lodge Team.

Reply from Natalie Snyders, Nursery Manager at Little Lodge Nursery

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a lovely review. It is a pleasure to look after your little ones. At Little Lodge we strive to provide that continuity of care from home into our nursery here, ensuring that each child is an individual and feels safe and ultimately happy and confident so that they can excel in their development and learning. Our Little Lodge team take pride in knowing each child and their characters, whether that be their love of stories or exploring nature in the garden. Knowing that your children are happy and cared for, we hope, gives parents peace of mind. It's a big step leaving your children whether they are in Babies, Tweenies or Pre School and our team and Little Lodge are here to take those steps with you and guide you along the way.

My daughter has been attending Little Lodge Nursery since January 2024. She absolutely loves the days she goes to pre-school, her highlights are the dance and football lessons. Her independence has grown leaps and bounds and because of this we believe she will be more than ready for the transition to
big school.
Another bonus to Little Lodge is the food they are given within the school. There is such a wide array of food that they are served which has been great for pushing my daughter out of her comfort zone. We highly recommend Little Lodge Nursery.

Reply from Natalie Snyders, Nursery Manager at Little Lodge Nursery

What a lovely review, thank you. The dance and football sessions are a highlight of the week amongst the pre-school children and they do work up an appetite and our Chef is proud to see empty plates after the children have enjoyed lunch. Thank you again for taking the time to leave such a lovely review.

My daughter attended this nursery from Tweenies through to pre-school. The staff are positive and engaging and nothing is too much trouble. It felt like they really took the time to know my child and encourage her to be herself. She was always happy to go into nursery, which as a working parent makes
things easier.

Reply from Natalie Snyders, Nursery Manager at Little Lodge Nursery

It is amazing to read of such a happy nursery journey. At Little Lodge, our mission is to "develop the happiness, confidence and skills of each child" so to read how happy your daughter was is a wonderful reinforcement of what we strive to do at Little Lodge in order to support our children and families. Thank you for taking the time to leave the review.

Both nursery and office staff are very friendly, approachable and will always do everything they can to accommodate additional needs, they have helped settle my child in so well after relocating. The effort that is put in to the daily activities is amazing and so lovely to see pictures and videos of
what they get up to, my child is very happy going to nursery and always comes home telling me all about his day.

Reply from Natalie Snyders, Nursery Manager at Little Lodge Nursery

Thank you for leaving such a lovely review. I'm glad that your child settled in so well and it's also great to read that you enjoy our live updates through our digital platform. Creating a culture where children are happy and confident is at the core of the culture of Little Lodge and so to read that your child is very happy going to nursery is wonderful. I love to hear that your child comes home telling you about their day.

Evidence of a lot of thought goes into the activities, which are very good at helping young children engage with the wider world, and are well balanced. An increased focus on food provision for tea has improved the offering and added more variety. The staff are very engaged and the children forge good
relationships with each other.

Reply from Natalie Snyders, Nursery Manager at Little Lodge Nursery

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I am delighted to read of the impact of our changes since Arnold Lodge took over the nursery and opened Little Lodge. Our focus on improving teas was an early priority for us, and so it is wonderful to see this reflected in your experience. We have lots more exciting developments planned too. We are very proud of our exceptional team, who pride themselves on thinking up exciting and engaging activities for the children. The Little Lodge team also really get to know the children in order to forge relationships throughout our setting that facilitate happiness and confidence.

We have 3 children in Arnold Lodge full-time. Our eldest started in the baby room and is about to graduate from preschool.
Throughout our time, the staff have always been amazing. They are both caring and fun. In preschool, I have been impressed with their approach to preparing the children for school
so they can feel confident in their skills from day 1.

My daughter has been going here since January this year and has been thriving here.
I was a bit hesitant about her starting nursery as she's been with me at home for the whole 2 years of her life but I can not explain how calming and welcoming Arnold Lodge staff have been! They've really helped my
daughter feel comfortable and confident in their setting and it shows when she's not there as well. I have worked in childcare my whole career and I have never met a bunch of staff members who genuinely care about children as I have at Arnold. They are very transparent with how my daughter settled in and also do events which allow the parents to get involved which I love! My daughter has also grown a bond with the room leader and another staff member, which was shocking as she doesn't bond with many people and asks to go to nursery on weekends. I'm over the moon with Arnold Lodge and would refer them to all of the parents I know. I would give it 10 stars if I could.

Arnold Lodge is an exceptional nursery. My sister has thrived so much since being there, her interaction with other children has come on leaps and bounds and the staff there are incredible. The place is so welcoming and my sister comes home every day with new things that she has done and learnt. I would
100% recommend booking a viewing, it's definitely worth it.

Our daughter has really thrived at Arnold Lodge Prepcare Nursery. The staff are always extremely welcoming, supportive and caring. They clearly want the very best for all the children in their care. They’ve gone out of their way to tailor the curriculum to our daughter’s interests and she loves the
activities and experiences they provide. As parents, it is wonderful to be so well informed about how she is progressing and for our input to be really valued.


Thank you for giving her the very best start to her education, we know she is in very good hands.

I have every confidence in recommending Arnold Lodge Prepcare.
I was so disappointed to have left our previous nursery due to a move in location and couldn’t imagine another one meeting the same standards but Prepcare has been incredible.
The staff are the crucial element; they are so loving and
genuinely care for the children. They also form such supportive relationships with the parents. Prepcare has become “home from home” for our son.
Since being in PreSchool, our son has grown in confidence and has developed a wonderful group of friends.
The range of activities the staff initiate is impressive and the children seem to gain a great deal from the links with Arnold Lodge school. It is wonderful to receive updates and photos of what our child is doing via the online system.
Thanks to his time at Prepcare, I have every confidence our son will transition well into school in September. I, however, will mourn the loss of our connection with such a wonderful team!

I have two children who are utterly enamoured with Arnold Lodge Prepcare, and they're always ecstatic to wake up to the news it's a school morning! The staff are what attracted us there in the first place - they are all so attentive and caring, and always plan fun and engaging activities which the children
adore. They are extremely accommodating and always have time for a chat. We couldn't be happier!

Our daughter has been attending the nursery since January, after we moved her from a smaller childminder setting. She has settled in so well at Arnold Lodge Prepcare and we are thrilled with the way she has progressed in her self-confidence and her learning. She will be going up to the Pre School in
September and is currently enjoying her settling in sessions as part of her normal day at nursery, which means she is excited rather than phased by the prospect of moving rooms. The staff are excellent - they are all very personable and approachable as well as enthusiastic about the children they look after. We would highly recommend the setting and our daughter can't wait to get to "big girl nursery" in the morning to play with her friends.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.495)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.495) out of 10 for Little Lodge 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 8 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 4.926 for Little Lodge Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (88 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 95 Ratings = 4.926

  • 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 4.569 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Lodge Nursery is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 52 number of registered child places is 10.4. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.4 = 0.769

  • 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.
