Excellent nursery and care received to my child since she started in October. Caring and educational home from home feel and really listen and support with your child's needs. My daughter enjoys her time there and the nursery is supportive to children and parents

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Our overall experience of the nursery has been good. There are a number of positives to the nursery inc. 1. Classes from external companies i.e. sports, sing and sign etc which the children really enjoy.
2. A healthy menu with a wide variety of meals, my child eats things at nursery that she wouldn't
touch at home.
3. Lovely staff who build wonderful relationships.
Where I find the biggest challenge are the rising costs. From conversations with local parents Little Adventurers is now one of the more expensive nurseries in Upminster Over the duration of my child's time here prices have increased around 40% from the costs I was initially given when we signed up, to my child's final year.
With a number of new nurseries opening up in the area I would consider looking at other providers before recommitting to LA, Hopefully an increase in choices in the area will create more competition in the area and increased support from the government will make these fee's more manageable.

Reply from Chris Ford, Marketing Manager at Little Adventurers Nursery

Dear Heidi, thank you for your review of our nursery and for your praise of our team, nutrition and extra curricular activities. Of course, we too are disappointed to be forced to increase our nursery fees year on year. Unfortunately, our hands are tied as these increased costs are directly related to the proportionately higher increase to the minimum wage that the Government have rolled out in recent years. Coupled with this, businesses also face increases to National Insurance contributions, business rates and other expenditure. Whilst we work very hard to mitigate against these mounting costs, we are also keen to ensure the quality of our provision, food, resources and activities like Forest School, baby yoga, music sessions and Sing and Sign still continue. We are also committed to supporting our amazing team of qualified and highly experienced practitioners whom will all directly benefit from the fees increase. We take all reviews seriously and will share with our whole team.

Fantastic nursery! My 7 year old went here and now my little boy. The staff are enthusiastic and amazing with the kids from management all the way through. The nursery really focuses on healthy eating and lifestyles which is very important to me. A nursery full of warmth, fun, sing songs, playtime,
experience, love, and calmness, the perfect start for our children.

My children have thrived so much in Little Adventurers, I am always amazed at how caring and lovely the staff is here.
The food is top quality and the chef always cooks fresh meals, which my children love so much!
I have also noticed that the nursery is always very clean and the staff members are
so welcoming, always with a smile on their face. In the mornings I know I'm leaving my daughter in safe hands and I trust the setting to take very good care of her!

The staff are absolutely wonderful - so kind, patient, and dedicated to ensuring every child feels happy and supported. Whether it's first thing in the morning or late in the evening, every staff member always has a smile on their face and a warm greeting ready. Their positivity and dedication, no matter
the time of day, truly show how much they care.
My son also attended Little Adventurers from the age of 1 all the way until he started school, and we believe the nursery provided him with the best foundation we could have ever asked for. Even now, when he comes to pick up his little sister, all the staff still show genuine care and interest in how he's doing. It's clear that to them, the children aren't just past attendees - they're part of the Little Adventurers family.
If you're looking for a nursery that feels like a second family for your little ones, look no further than Little Adventurers. We feel so lucky to have found such a fantastic place!

Reply from Chris Ford, Marketing Manager at Little Adventurers Nursery

You are right in that we are so, so proud of our team and how dedicated and professional they all are, they will be thrilled to read your lovely message and we would like to thank you on behalf of all the team here for taking the time to write such a beautiful tribute to us all. We look forward to many more adventures with your daughter.

It's extremely hard for any parent to trust a childminder or nursery with their precious little one. I would not hesitate to recommend Little Adventurers to any parent or parent-to-be. The team are amazing and everyone there who has looked after either/both of our boys has been lovely, supportive, caring

My little one started here in October 2023 and though he was unsure for the first few weeks, the staff made him feel comfortable and made us feel at ease from the beginning! He now absolutely loves going there and always has a good day. Every single member of the staff is very friendly, helpful and
approachable. His key workers ensure there are different daily activities to do which he enjoys and he has developed and gained so much confidence since joining. The weekly menu is carefully thought out which they change up every week to make meal times more enjoyable for the kids. They also ensure you get a daily feedback on what your little one has done for the day. Highly recommend this nursery!

From the moment we stepped into Little Adventurers to view it as a potential nursery for our daughter, we knew it was the one & we have only good things to say. Our daughter is thriving there. The staff are all so kind & friendly, they know all the children and parents on a first name basis. It is such
a welcoming environment, the children are all so content and happy whenever we have been there. Our daughter absolutely loves going there and runs in with a big smile on her face. They have been extremely accommodating - supporting us through big transitions like potty training & the arrival of a new sibling.

My two children attend Little Adventurers (baby room and preschool room). My daughter has settled brilliantly in the baby room, whilst my son has thrived in the 3-5 year room upstairs. They do so much for the kids - exploring different themes each week, bringing in external activities to the nursery
such as sing and sign and football. My son particularly liked watching the chicks hatch and the butterflies break out of their cocoon. A great nursery with loving and caring staff!

Reply from Chris Ford, Marketing Manager at Little Adventurers Nursery

Thank you for your lovely review of our nursery. The baby room and preschool room teams will be thrilled to hear how your children are both thriving. We are enjoying lovely summer activities at present with lots of water play in the garden to keep us cool!

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My son has had a great time there in the last two and a half years. We chose the nursery out of many options because, from the beginning, we felt the welcoming vibe and considerable set-up. We appreciate that the nursery made a great effort to ensure that my son and I were ready for nursery life. The
nursery truly has a home environment for the children. Not only does the key person know my son well, but every staff member is amiable, energetic, kind, patient and reliable. They have lots of activities. My son goes part-time and he plays nursery games when he stays at home; that's how we know he truly enjoys all the games. The nursery provides very personal care: when my son was in the baby room, he only slept well in a cot, so the staff ensured he was in the cot for a good sleep. I also love that the staff communicates well regarding my son's daily day and milestone development. My boy eats so well in the nursery.

Reply from Chris Ford, Marketing Manager at Little Adventurers Nursery

Thank you for this lovely testimonial; the staff team will be happy to read such a thoughtful and detailed review of the love and care they give to their little ones.

Little Adventurers Nursery is an amazing place for little ones to be and get involved in many things. Our son (who is 3 years old now) has been there full-time since he was 9 months.
There is not a day that you won't see the staff smiling and having a positive attitude that they are there for you and
the little one and that they have everything under control! From management to staff, all are very happy, positive and willing to help with everything!
Hygiene regulations and food are more than excellent and great! Garden outside for playtime is great with plenty of activities and creative toys for little ones to engage with and learn.
We love the place and we are so happy that our little one is there getting engaged with various new things and getting support for his amazing teachers!

My son has been attending Little Adventurers Nursery since he was 11 months old and he thoroughly enjoys going. The staff are so kind and enthusiastic; they clearly love their jobs and the children clearly love them! The food is excellent, such a huge variety of nutritious and home cooked meals. The
children engage in plenty of interactive, creative and indoor/outdoor activities throughout the day which us parents can see via photos sent by email at the end of the day. Upon collection, we always receive a detailed handover and my son always seems very happy. The whole ethos is very familiar and home-from-home-like. It really is a great nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.807)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.807) out of 10 for Little Adventurers Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.807 for Little Adventurers Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (171 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 202 Ratings = 4.807

  • 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 Adventurers Nursery is based on 17 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, which has been reached with 17 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.
