My little girl attended this nursery when she was younger and when it came to my little boy requiring childcare, I wouldn't have considered anywhere else and my little boy's love for the staff here is a testament to this! Staff are always really friendly and always happy to help where they can.

Extremely satisfied with this nursery providing the breakfast club and after-school club for our son. The staff are very helpful and friendly and management prompt in answering any queries or requests for additional sessions.
I would recommend it warmly to anyone.

It has been a difficult time settling my son into nursery, but the staff have been excellent and patient with him. The activities and toys available to him are excellent, encouraging play and education. I am grateful to Little Flyers as they have been very breastfeeding friendly supporting me to stop
in at lunchtime and feed him. I would definitely recommend Little Flyers.

Reply from Sharon Fairley at Little Flyers @ Broxburn

Thank you Iona, and really sorry to hear that it was an unsettled time, and hopefully, now it has got easier.

My daughter attends this nursery and before she started she wasn’t very good at socialising and since being here they have brought her right out of her shell and look after her very well. The staff and management are fantastic always very welcoming.

Reply from Sharon Fairley at Little Flyers @ Broxburn

Thanks, Kimberlie, it's so lovely to hear and see your wee girl is becoming a confident wee soul, and happy to be at nursery.

I can't speak highly enough of the staff at Little Flyers.
My daughter (5) and son ( 2) both attend. In particular, the baby room and toddler room have outstanding staff and have seen both of my kids come through their time there and the relationships the kids have with their key staff, as well as
the core team, has been amazing. All of the staff who look after the kids in these two rooms are brilliant, but the key staff deserve special thanks for always being there.
My daughter has moved up the stairs to the preschool older kids, and whilst things haven't been quite as smooth as her first 4 years at Little Flyers, the problems we did encounter were dealt with by the manager in a very professional way. I am pleased to say that things have settled down again and my daughter seems to be as happy as ever in attending Little Flyers and is enjoying her time before moving on to P1.
The whole team are always easy to speak to and have great relationships with the parents too. Well done.

Thanks, Keith for taking the time to write this positive review. I am sorry to hear it was an unsettled time moving upstairs and will speak with the team to see how this could have been made better.

All the nursery staff I have encountered are so friendly and helpful. My twins are in 2 days a week - they are still settling in but their key worker is doing everything possible to help. I was nervous about this transition especially with me going back to work but it's no bother to call to get updates
etc. Nothing seems a bother at all. I think the online journals are fantastic too! I'm so glad I chose this nursery and would highly recommend it.

Hi Melissa, thank you so much for choosing Little Flyers and hope the returning to work has not been too emotional. Looking forward to meeting you.

We have been using Little Flyers for both Nursery and After School Care since November 2017, having moved from another local nursery. I am extremely happy with the level of care, the knowledge and expertise of the staff and the facilities at Little Flyers. Both my children have settled well (in fact,
my eldest always moans if he is not the last to leave in case he misses any of the fun!). The outdoor facilities are excellent and well used and the staff are always friendly and approachable. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Reply from Sharon Fairley at Little Flyers @ Broxburn

Thank you so much, Julie, for writing this, and it's just great when we see children enjoying themselves and not wanting to leave.

Little Flyers provides my daughter with amazing care. I was very nervous about returning back to work and leaving my daughter. The staff made my journey back to work and my daughters journey into nursery easy and stress free.
My daughter loves going into nursery and staff are greeted with a cheeky
smile every morning. Knowing she is happy and well looked after has made my return to work easier.

Little Flyers have been great to accommodate our children's requirements. My son attends afterschool club and my daughter goes to preschool. They absolutely love Little Flyers' staff. They have been brilliant. My daughter would ask every morning if she is going to nursery that day and can't wait to
see the team and play with her friends.


After school club has lots of facilities and trips and activities organized for the kids. I highly recommend this nursery to everyone living locally.


Reply from Sharon Fairley at Little Flyers @ Broxburn

Thank you, Tamara, myself and the team love to hear positive reviews, that the children enjoy Little Flyers.

My little boy started with Little Flyers @ Broxburn couple of months ago when we moved here. He has settled in really well and bonded with all lovely staff members very quickly. All members of staff at nursery are welcoming and very friendly remembering his name which made it easier for him to get to
know everyone. He loves going there and playing with his little friends. Everyone has been absolutely brilliant to him and I would recommend this nursery to all.

Reply from Sharon Fairley at Little Flyers @ Broxburn

Thank you Marketa, it can always be a worry when our children start somewhere new, and we are so pleased that your son has settled and is happy.

My son recently started at Little Flyers in Broxburn and I could not be happier. He absolutely loves going and adores the staff there. He is learning so much and always comes out with a huge smile on his face. Thank you for making his transition from childminder to nursery so stress-free.

Reply from Sharon Fairley at Little Flyers @ Broxburn

Hi Sarah, welcome and thank you for your lovely review, and so pleased it has been stress-free for you, and more importantly that your wee one is happy.

My daughter has been with Little Flyers breakfast and after school club for around six months now. I am extremely happy with the care she receives and my daughter is very happy to attend.
They keep parents up to date with the child's daily activities/meals, etc. plan lots of events for different occasions,
etc. and provide a happy, caring environment for my child.
I would definitely recommend Little Flyers to any parent looking for childcare in a safe, positive environment!

Hello Hannah, thank you for taking the time to write a review, and we are pleased to see that you and your daughter are happy at the after school.

We only moved to Broxburn about six months ago and was quick in deciding that Little Flyers ticks all the boxes for my family.
My wife and I both work full time and one of the huge reliefs for us was finding out that we only need to drop our two kids up in the morning and pick them up again in the
evening (as the staff does drop-offs/pick ups from the local council early learning centre).
What was even more interesting was how passionate and welcoming each and every member of staff have been right from day one that we visited the nursery till date. It's a testament to their professionalism that both of our kids have shown a massive growth in character and was one of the reasons we recommended the nursery to another family friend whose child now attends Little Flyers.
So to all staff at Little Flyers Broxburn, here's a hearty THANK YOU for all you do and all you'll still do.

Hi there, and welcome to Broxburn and Little Flyers.
A 'hearty' THANK YOU back and really pleased that the children have settled, and your kind words about our team.

Both my children are at Little Flyers and enjoy their time there a lot. All of the staff are incredibly caring and know the kids really well. I never have any concerns about them when I drop them in as I know they are in excellent hands. What I love is that they go above and beyond just providing 'care'.
My five-year-old has, in the last few months, visited the local care home to sing to the residents (she loves this), been on many picnics to the local parks and been to a local garden centre to learn about plants. As she will be leaving for school soon, the staff in the preschool room put on a graduation ceremony for the leavers. So much time and effort went into making this a really special occasion for them - lots of songs and souvenirs. As for my one-year-old, it is a delight to see him so happy every time I pick him up. Thank you.

When deciding which nursery to put my son into due to returning to work I was extremely impressed with the friendly approach taken by Little Flyers in answering my (many) questions. I couldn’t be happier with how they have helped with the transition and my son quickly settled in. They have a welcoming
family feel which is exactly what I was looking for.

My daughter is excited to attend nursery on a Monday and Tuesday. She loves learning with the nursery staff and can't wait to tell me each day what she has done and learnt. She really does surprise me sometimes with the knowledge she has gained since attending nursery. She adores the nursery staff and
I can't recommend them enough.

I'm extremely happy that two of my children attend Little Flyers. Friendly staff, a variety of outdoor/indoor activity and the most important - flexibility. Occasionally I need to extend nursery hours as a last minute call and they never let me down.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.805)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.805) out of 10 for Little Flyers @ Broxburn is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 7 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 4.667 for Little Flyers @ Broxburn is calculated as follows: ( (80 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.667

  • 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 4.138 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Flyers @ Broxburn is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.438

  • 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.
