  • Little Tots Nursery - Stoney Heath, Tadley
Little Tots Nursery - Stoney Heath offers the best foundation for life. The Montessori philosophy teaches children independence from an early age and every child learns at their own pace and is treated as an individual.   

The nursery has a Forest School site within walking distance of the nursery, which is situated within the amazing grounds of Ewhurst Park Farm. The setting has a very strong ethos of outdoor learning, with the children having the opportunity to grow vegetables, learn about the local wildlife and make wild spaces for pollinators. They are part of the RHS Schools Gardening Scheme, and members of The Wildlife Trust, planting trees, taking part in The Big Bird Watch and nature walks.

The Nursery has a small cosy Baby Room, which caters for children from 6 months to 2 years, they encourage independence and begin to introduce Montessori philosophy at an early age.   

To complement the nursery day they also offer extra curriculum activities such as children’s yoga and music and dance, cooking and science sessions.

Unlike many nurseries, they benefit from a smaller environment and take a personal approach, the children remain with the same staff and peer group throughout their time at Little Tots in the nursery room, helping form relationships and gain confidence, the children benefit from strong social bonds, stability and continuity of care.

The Montessori ethos encourages “family grouping” where children aged 2-5 work together, with the older children acting as role models for the younger children and the younger children benefiting from learning by example from the older children. Little Tots put the child and parent’s needs first.

Open 8am-6pm Monday to Friday all year - limited term time only spaces available. Flexible sessions available.

I have not seen a more professional and lovely staff than at Little Tots. They truly love what they do and they are GOOD AT IT. They make you feel as they are on the parenting journey alongside you. They inspire curiosity and learning, as well as personal growth for every child. The children are thriving
there and learning so much. You know its an excellent nursery through the joy and satisfaction of the staff in what they do. My son comes home excited to tell of the day and the things he has done and learned.

My daughter began in the baby room in 2023 and transitioned to the main room in January 2025. The staff have been absolutely amazing - she adores them! Every day is filled with fun, and it's been wonderful to see her grow in confidence since she started. She arrives each day with a big smile, excited
for the adventures ahead, and that's all thanks to the incredible team. There is a never-ending array of activities offered to the children, ensuring there's never a dull moment in her day.

My two year old daughter has started at Little tots in Jan 2025 and absolutely loves it, she runs in every drop off waving at me as she goes in and I feel very content knowing she is well cared for and looked after with lots of different activities and outdoors in the fresh air too! The staff are lovely
and friendly and glad I chose little tots over a closer Nursey to me.

I have been a using Little Tots nursery for nearing six years now. As I approach the final few months being part of the Little Tots family I am saddened to think I won't be visiting the nursery every day, it is a truly special place. Every member of staff is so caring and engaging. The children have
access to wonderful resources including quality Montessori equipment and woodland for their weekly Forrest School trips. They are very community minded and are often fundraising and teaching the children about different causes and special occasions. My children have always been very happy here and I am so pleased they were given a great Early Years foundation from this nursery.

I can't praise the team at little tots - Stoney Heath enough. My youngest comes out with a smile on her face every session. The team have helped so much with my daughters speech recently and I know they always have my daughters best interests at heart. They have so much to offer at the nursery and keep
the children well entertained throughout the day as well as teaching them such valuable skills towards their development. My oldest who is now in school and no longer attends the nursery still is made to feel special whenever we are collecting her little sister. I have been dropping my children to little tots for the last 4 years and they really feel like part of the family.

Our 15 month old son started at this nursery in March. We looked around a few nurseries and this one stood out as being a happy place with a homely feel, with kind and caring staff. We feel reassured when we drop him off that he will be well looked after and that he will enjoy a range of stimulating
activities. The staff take time to talk to you and let you know what your child has been up to when you pick them up, and they have great energy and are clearly passionate about their work. We are very happy with this nursery.

This really is an extra special nursery. My son and daughter are so happy here and both absolutely thriving. The staff are exceptional. Everyone feels like family and they really do go above and beyond to support all of us - for example we are working parents and when things are hectic they've been
able to accommodate extra hours and extra days at short notice when needed. I can't thank the team enough. We feel so priviledged to have both the children here. Communication and feedback to parents is excellent. The range of activities they put on for the children goes far beyond anything I could ever come up with at home! It is truly impressive. Thank you so much Little Tots team, we are so grateful knowing the children are being cared for so brilliantly and having such a fantastic time while we are out at work.

A fantastic nursery with lovely, dynamic and enthusiastic staff. Our daughter was very happy here before she started school and our younger son is also loving it. The forest school is an added bonus. Couldn't recommend it more highly, we'll miss being part of it when our son starts school.

We are so grateful to everyone at little tots, our son loves the nursery especially going to forest school. The staff spend time with the children individually helping teach them phonics and numbers etc to help the transition into school. The attention to detail is beyond what we ever could have expected
from a nursery and it's clear to see in his learning. Would recommend this nursery to everyone.

I feel privileged to have had both my children here. It is no surprise to me that they have an Ofsted outstanding accreditation.
The care is 5 star, the activities that they provide for the children in 5 star, the learning and support they provide for get children in 5 star, the care and support they
provide for parents in 5 star. The individuality for each child is 5 stars the communication in the nursery is 5 stars. I couldn't rate this nursery and the whole team in how they work together so cohesively, they are amazing as a team and individually I think they have provided my children with an excellent start in life, and my children are thriving as a result of the excellent leadership and care that is provided by this nursery.

I am delighted with this nursery and the care they provide for my daughter. They keep me informed about her day, which gives me great peace of mind.
The staff are friendly, approachable, and always comply with any requests I have. Their support with my daughter's eating has reassuring and calming.
A
highlight is the day out at the forest school, where she gets to explore nature and learn through play. She always comes home excited and full of stories.
Overall, the nursery offers a safe, caring, and stimulating environment. I am grateful for their positive impact and would wholeheartedly recommend them to any parent.

Our son joined the baby room at 11 months old and has been in the main nursery since last summer. All of the staff are phenomenal at their jobs and our son loves going in each day. He thrived in the baby room and has thrived since joining the main room. He loves all of the activities and has made some
great friends, both children and adults. We know that he's in the safest of hands and very well looked after. We consider the staff to be an extension of our little family and we can see how much he means to them and vice versa. The staff have helped us receive an early diagnosis of glue ear, and they're now helping us through a referral for speech therapy. The support we've received from them is amazing and we're so grateful that like us they have our son's best interests at heart. Thank you everyone at Little Tots Nursery for all that you do.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.994)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.994) out of 10 for Little Tots Nursery - Stoney Heath 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 52 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 52 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 4.994 for Little Tots Nursery - Stoney Heath is calculated as follows: ( (618 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 622 Ratings = 4.994

  • 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 Little Tots Nursery - Stoney Heath is based on 52 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 52 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.
