My daughter loves coming to little flyers and has a great relationship with the staff which is comforting to see. All staff take the time to tell you what she has been up to today, and she is always coming home with lots of artwork which seems to be a favourite


She's outdoors a lot too which is

great and she loves it :)


She's made friends there and is always happy when we pick her up.


Reply from Sharon Fairley, Director at Little Flyers @ Broxburn

Thanks Carla, we love hearing how happy the children are , which makes it kind of easier when parents have to work.

Both my grandchildren love going to Little Flyers. The staff are so friendly and caring which helped them to settle in really quickly. It is great to be able to go online and watch their progress through their journals. There are lots of activities and lots of outdoor space for them to run around.

Reply from Sharon Fairley, Director at Little Flyers @ Broxburn

Thanks, Linda, it's always lovely to have grandparents involved and part of what the children are learning. Sharon ;-)

She has been well equipped to deal with starting school in September.
I would definitely recommend Little Flyers to parents.

Little Flyers is an excellent nursery. Our daughter has been attending for 3 years and the level of care and love she receives is second to none. She took a little while to settle and all the staff were great, during this difficult time.
She loves going to nursery and the activities she participates
in are great. She talks very fondly about all the staff. Most of whom have been there since she started. There is very little change in staffing which is great.

Reply from Sharon Fairley, Director at Little Flyers @ Broxburn

Thanks for taking the time to write this review. I'm glad she did settle, as it's always a worry when they don't, and where have those 3 years gone! Sharon :-)

My granddaughter has attended Little Flyers at Broxburn for 8 years from Raindrops, pre school and now breakfast and after school club, She has always enjoyed her time there and always speaks fondly to me of the staff and children with whom she attends. I myself have always found the staff welcoming,
professional and helpful. Keep up the wonderful work Little Flyers.

Reply from Sharon Fairley, Director at Little Flyers @ Broxburn

Thanks Jacqueline, it is so nice to hear from the children's grandparents. Where has time gone! It's lovely to hear that she enjoys coming, and has a fondness for the staff, as they do of her.
We will certainly continue to keep up the good work, and thanks again for recognising the team. Sharon.

My 5-year-old has attended Little Flyers @ Broxburn since he was 2. Now in Breakfast & AFC he loves it there and has built a really good bond with a few members of staff, as well as friends of different ages. The standard of care at Little Flyers is second to none, they really make the effort to get
to know your child and make every child feel not only welcomed but important. They always have loads of activities on including the usual bake sales etc but occasionally they organise trips to places such as the safari park!
The kids are involved in a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities. In spring there's usually some chicken eggs in incubators which the kids get to see hatching, frog spawn in tanks which the kids get to watch grow before releasing them. The list of fun stuff they do goes on and on!
A lot of effort and creativity goes into the enrichment of this day nursery and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Money well spent!

Reply from sharon fairley, Director at Little Flyers @ Broxburn

Hi Jem, where have the 3 years gone :-(
Your positive review is very much appreciated and it so reassuring knowing that your wee one feels important, along with enjoying all our fun activities. The children thoroughly enjoy the eggs hatching, mind you I often wonder who enjoys more ... the staff, parents or the children ? It will soon be that time again for the chicks ... so we better get cracking .. lol.
Thanks again. Sharon :-)

My children have been attending Little Flyers Nursery since 2008 and the facilities, activities, communication and resources for children have improved over the years to a very high standard. I have always felt that my children were looked after well and enjoyed being there. Communication is excellent
and management have always been very helpful and accommodating. I would definitely recommend Little Flyers nursery to other parents/carers.

Hi Nicole, thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. I can't believe the children joined 2008 ... where has time gone!

The nursery is always striving to improve the service they deliver which is always of high quality and parents are consulted along the way and made to feel

Little Flyers is friendly, clean and well equipped. By far the biggest asset are the fantastic staff. They are so kind, patient and caring.


Communication is great, there's a chance to chat at the beginning and end of each day about what your child has been up to. Children are given a warm welcome

and if there are wobbles about being dropped off it is dealt with quickly, kindly and effectively.


My daughter started to attend just after her first birthday and has developed so much confidence and social skills. She's also loved all of the craft, painting and other activities. And the garden is a fantastic big space too.


I can't recommend Little Flyers enough, I already have recommended this nursery to my sister who now sends my niece and nephew, and to lots of other mums with new babies I've met.


Reply from sharon fairley, director at Little Flyers @ Broxburn

Thank you so much Anna for writing a lovely positive review, and also for recommending us to family and friends. Most of all thank you for recognising that the staff are the asset of LF, I totally agree, they are so dedicated to their profession, the children, families and to me, which I am so grateful for. Reading these reviews really cheers them up, and me ... so thanks again. Sharon :-)

I find the staff at nursery very helpful, open, welcoming and loving towards my son. He always enjoys the time he spends there doing different activities and crafts. My son only goes to nursery 2 mornings a week and even in that short time, I can see how much more he learns from very encouraging team
members and other kids also. Nursery rooms and garden are kept tidy and welcoming and kids have plenty of different toys to play with.

My daughter just started in January and as a first time mum returning to work, it's fair to say it was difficult me leaving her! The staff have all been fantastic and already know her personality and update me on her day when I collect her. It makes it so much easier to leave her knowing she is cared
for and so well looked after.

Our daughter has attended Little Flyers for 2 years. She absolutely loves going in each morning and has a lovely rapport with all the staff. Our daughter enjoys taking part in the wide range of activities and the staff are creative and imaginative with regular themes to engage and support their development.
The staff are very caring and promote good manners, kindness and responsibility. This has fully supported our values at home and has helped her develop into a well-rounded child. The staff always give thorough feedback and it is great to have regular entries with photos on her online learning journal.
The nursery are very accommodating and will always do their best to support one-off requests for additional childcare.

A fabulous nursery that I'm so pleased to have chosen. My son has been going now just short of a year. Little Flyers really helped my transition back to work after maternity. My son absolutely loves his time with the staff at little flyers who provide a safe, fun, stable and positive learning environment
for him. His development has really progressed since he started at little flyers. Thanks to all the staff for their help, hard work and support. Special thanks to the key workers who work with him on a weekly basis.

Thanks for your nice review. I am glad that we managed to support you going back to work after your maternity. I found that part the hardest :-(

My son has attended Little Flyers for 11 months and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
We chose Little Flyers because of its home-from-home family feel and friendly atmosphere. From our first visit, through settling in days and moving up to the next room we've been thoroughly impressed with the setting
and the team who work there.
We're constantly kept up-to-date on our son's progress, room developments as well as news from across the wider nursery.
Our son has grown in confidence and ability since starting nursery and he loves his time there playing, learning new skills, having lots of fun and making new friends.

Reply from Sharon Fairley, Director at Little Flyers @ Broxburn

Thank you for your kind review of Little Flyers and I am really pleased that your wee one has grown in confidence and enjoying making new friends. I have always wanted to make the nursery feel homely and this has happened due to the great team that we have.

A great nursery with kind, caring staff who take the time to get to know the child. All of the workers are great - engaging warm and hard working. My little boy has gotten to really know two of the nursery teachers who are just fantastic and a real credit to Little Flyers. We still get to see my little
boy's previous key worker from time to time and even now she is always interested to see how he is doing, again a real credit to the nursery. I have real peace of mind leaving my little boy in such capable hands. The atmosphere is warm, friendly and professional. Other nurseries just don't compare.

I have used Little Flyers for all 3 of my children from 8 months -5 years.
The staff and management are fantastic and the owner takes the time to find out how you are getting on after your first few visits.
All staff and managers are so welcoming and I love to see how my children are so excited to
go in every day.
The managers are very proactive with any feedback I have given.
The outdoor space and equipment are excellent, the new frame is a hit with my little boy.
I love reading the online learning whenever is it completed, so I can see how my children are progressing.
I like the key worker system and my children have a real connection with them which makes it very easy to speak to them.
I would absolutely recommend Little Flyers for all ages.

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.
