Hello Hayley, we are so pleased that your little boy is doing so well and has settled and formed a strong attachment with his key person. The settling process is very important to us and we like parents to feel they can come as often as they wish as it's important for the parents to feel happy and confident about leaving their little one at nursery for the first time. We work hard at building strong partnerships with our parents in so many ways and I hope as time goes on you will enjoy our Community Days, our closed parent Facebook Forum, our parent first aid courses, social events and more! We hope your little boy will continue to enjoy his early childhood adventurers with us. Thank you for taking the time to write a review, it will mean a great deal to our staff team to read this.

Thank you Joe for this review and it is wonderful that you have noticed your daughter coming on in leaps and bounds since joining us. We aim to give children as many learning opportunities as possible with both planned and spontaneous activities like impromptu community visits to the park or woods for example. We really appreciate parents taking the time to write a testimonial for us.

Our daughter is a very fussy
There is such a wide range of activities throughout the day and we love seeing the pictures on our daily reports of our daughter experiencing these.
We love that the nursery feels like a home from home. We feel happy knowing that she is in a safe and homely environment with people who genuinely care for her.
I couldn't recommend the nursery and its fantastic staff enough.
Reply from Christine Ford, Business & Marketing Manager at Little Adventurers Nursery
We absolutely understand that when choosing a nursery parents want their child to be loved, supported and given the best start in life - it is wonderful that our home from home nursery shines out to you as a parent and that you can genuinely see the wonderful care our staff give on a daily basis. Thank you so much for your heartfelt review which means so much to all of us. We look forward to lots of adventures with your little girl during her time with us.

The range of food is phenomenal and promotes a balanced nutritious diet. They even get the children
My daughter has grown in confidence, excelled in learning and her behaviour and manners have improved vastly thanks to the work of everyone at Little adventurers. I can’t wait for my little boy to start at the nursery too.
Can’t fault anything at all. Absolutely exceeds all my expectations. Thank you.
Reply from Christine Ford, Business & Marketing Manager at Little Adventurers Nursery
Thanks you for this brilliant review Jade - it is wonderful that our caring staff team, our nutritional offer along with the creative learning experiences we strive for are all highlighted in your testimonial. We are so pleased that your little one enjoys her days of adventure with us. Many thanks once again - it will be lovely to share this with our staff team.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. It is so lovely to hear all the things as a parent you like and appreciate about our nursery and I know that you have enjoyed our parent communications, forum meetings and community days. Your last comment, however, sums up the most important thing of all - that parents feel confident leaving their children with us every day because they are in a safe, happy and nurturing environment. We are looking forward to so many adventures this year with your little ones!

Thank you so much for your lovely review Sarah; we are so pleased that our family ethos really shined through from the beginning for you and your family as this is something we strive hard to achieve at our nursery. We are immensely proud of our nursery manager and of all our staff who we believe are an elite team! - they all enjoy working with us at our nursery with a difference. The manager was delighted to welcome so many families on Saturday to our Nursery Community Day and it is, as you say, a great way for parents to get to know each other as well as giving the children a fun time outside together. Thank you once again for your wonderful feedback, we really appreciate parents taking the time to do this.

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.

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 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.
