Thank you for your kind words about our nursery - it's wonderful that parents notice our optimum nutritional menu and yes - we love going on lots of walks to the park, woods and local community! We work with our partner nutritionist to devise healthy and nutritionally balanced menus across the week. As an example, we do not purchase all food from a supermarket; all our meat comes from locally sourced farms, grass-fed cattle and British chicken - all from a local butcher. We only use butter (not margarine or oil) for cooking and spreading and we use reduced sugar (or no sugar) puddings - please feel free to contact me for more details of all the great background to our food offer here at Little Adventurers.

We are so pleased that parents have felt reassured by our health and safety measures throughout the pandemic. Our whole team have worked so hard at keeping everyone as safe as we possibly can and we look forward to being able to re-introduce further exciting extra-curricular activities such as forest school for the summer ahead. Maths and literacy activities are always part of our play-based curriculum, however, please feel free to speak with your son's key person or the manager to have further insight into how we incorporate these within the nursery day.

Many thanks, Angela, for taking the time to review our nursery. We are very grateful to all our families for supporting our high safety measures and precautions and all of our nursery team have pulled together during this pandemic to keep the nursery as safe as possible. We have introduced many measures (such as you mention above) and we are continuing to work in bubbles despite this not being a requirement as we believe this is best for our children, their families and our staff team. Thank you again.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review for us. We are so pleased that you can see such a positive difference in your little boy's confidence and development. Thank you also for your kind words surrounding our health and safety measures currently in place to protect our little ones, their families and our staff team. Indeed nutrition is a key element of our ethos with nursery menus all being endorsed by our partner nutritionist. Teaching children about where food comes from and why it's important to eat a 'rainbow of colours' is all part of the teaching within our setting. We hope your little one continues to thrive and enjoy his days with us.

What a wonderful review! Thank you so much for taking the time out to do this for us. It is lovely to hear comments about our staff team - especially as heartfelt as your review. We have worked hard to build our fabulous team and are really proud of them all - as you say, every staff member is familiar with children that aren't necessarily in their nursery rooms which is lovely and helps us to make our nursery even more 'home from home'. Thanks again Anne-Marie, the team will love hearing your comments.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review us. We are so pleased that your little one has enjoyed their time with us over the past three years, how quickly that has gone and we've had so many adventures along the way. The staff team will be overwhelmed with your compliments and we are so proud of them all, especially how everyone had adapted to new regimes post-Covid. We hope your little one goes on to enjoy big school in September and that her foundation years with our nursery have given her confidence and a love of learning to embrace the next stage of her journey at primary. Many thanks once again, we appreciate all reviews and share them with the whole team.

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.
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.

Charlotte has been working very hard over the past 2 years, studying and recently achieving her level 5 in Early Years & Childcare. During that time, Charlotte has also been promoted from Assistant Deputy to Deputy Manager and she is based in our under 2’s room. Charlotte has been with the setting since before opening as one of the core team members. “Joining Little Adventurers has reminded me why I went into childcare 13 year ago; to give high quality care in a loving and supportive environment. Seeing the change in our little ones from when they first arrive and settle; supporting them as they develop all their skills in prime and specific areas; watching them grow in confidence and enjoy their time at nursery before transferring to school. There’s lots of flexibility at this nursery and it has a real family feel. Ginny is my inspiration with her knowledge and her practice.”

Kerry’s expertise is with our under 2’s age group and she is passionate about giving them a creative and happy time at nursery, “So much of their brain development happens at 0 to 2 years and this has a direct link to their likely outcomes at age 5 and above.” Kerry’s team say that she thinks outside the box and has a calming presence in the baby room. Kerry is also studying for her Level 5 qualification and has previously been a deputy manager. Talking about why she loves Little Adventurers Nursery, she says “It’s simply that children are always put first.

It feels like a family here and it makes it a pleasure to continue my journey in early years education.” For us, it is great to have a male practitioner here at Little Adventurers and Lewis is such a hit with all our little ones!
