Our daughter has been at Little Me Day Nursery The Coach House since she was 8 months old. Of course, this was a scary time handing our baby to someone else full-time for the first time but the staff at the nursery made us so comfortable and helped us find a routine that our daughter has been thriving
with. Since then we have continued to be been over the moon with the nursery, the staff are absolutely wonderful and it is a delight to see our daughter excited to go in each day. She has also grown and developed so amazingly since being there, we see new things she’s learnt constantly, it’s amazing. Big thanks to all the staff, you are wonderful.

Very disappointed with them. Both of my kids went there (6 years total). After covid the quality went down, and the parent's handover process became a bit of a nightmare. While some of the staff are lovely, we've had to deal with too many having very poor behaviour, poor interest in kids, poor manners,
etc. My son kept complaining of being hurt by the same kid over and over again. He came home badly hurt 2 days in a row, with different accidents, 3 bumps on the forehead, black eye. After the passive feedback from management, for this, and many other complaints raised, I put a bad complaint in here. They called me, told me to pull my son out of the nursery immediately and they would keep the money for the rest of the month too. Totally astonishing, and really bad management, after being 6 years with them.

My little girl has been attending Little Me since she was 2. She absolutely loves attending I’ve never had her cry when leaving me to go in. They make lovely healthy meals and snacks for them and enjoy playing outdoors. The manager is amazing and always on hand to deal with any query you may have. My
little girl is preparing to go to school in September. I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone. The staff are really friendly also.

Our eldest daughter joined Little Me Day Nursery The Coach House after our original nursery closed down during lockdown in 2020. This was a blessing as we have had a great experience with Little Me. Our daughter settled in so well and enjoys the time she spends there. We receive regular feedback on
how she is getting on through Learning books and are invited to join in on special occasions/holidays such as the Queen's jubilee. Our youngest daughter now attends the nursery also and is as happy as her big sister to be there. Thank you to all the staff for the part you have played in helping our little ones grow.

My son thoroughly enjoys his time at Little Me Nursery. He learns phonics, has made positive friendships with others that attend his preschool room. The staff work over and above the call of duty to make him feel safe and welcome everyday! We get daily and weekly updates on his learning book with photos
of what he has achieved which is a curriculum based for his age. Little Me is bright, extremely clean and has plenty of room with excellent outside space to enjoy. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a preschool place for their child in September.

My son is always excited to go to nursery and always happy when he leaves. The staff are very attentive and talk you through the day. The food seems varied and interesting. There are always lots of different activities throughout the day. The management takes time to get to know all the children and
parents and is very responsive to any queries. It seems to be a much better value than a lot of other places.

A brilliant and caring nursery for both my children. They've been fantastic at supporting my daughter with her SEND needs and have settled my baby so well in the last term. They always do great activities and share regular updates with parents. Highly recommended.

As a first-time mum to a child born during Lockdown, I was apprehensive about my son starting nursery. He was 7 months old when he started and all the Little Me Day Nursery ladies have been incredible. My son has possible additional needs and has needed a lot of support over the last year to aid with
his speech and his physical development and I couldn’t ask for more from Little Me, they’ve been transparent in what they’re doing, understanding and communication have been wonderful. The love they show to my little boy is beautiful and the attachments he has formed will stay with him. Thank you so much Little Me for all you do and have done.
I honestly would recommend you to anyone who is local. 10/10.

My son loves pre school here and has so much support from all the staff. They do some lovely things with him and he has made lots of friends. He has good varied food with lots of choice. The opening hours are also great for me as a parent to work and have time for drop offs and pick ups.

Our son has been going to Little Me Day Nursery The Coach House for 8 months now and he absolutely loves it. He goes in with a smile every morning and is always happy when we pick him up at the end of the day. He gets a great variety of food which he loves and we love hearing about the activities that
he has been up to each day. The staff are very friendly and caring so much to the point that he will often give the carers a big smile in the morning once he's seen them before they even open the door. We couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery and would highly recommend Little Me to any parents looking for a nursery for their little ones.

My son has attended Little Me Day Nursery The Coach House since he was 6 months old and he has thrived whilst being there. He loves attending and the nursery staff are fantastic with him. They have encouraged his development amazingly helping him reach all of his milestones. All of the nursery staff
are kind, caring and always make sure I’m informed of my son’s day and all activities included. I always recommend this nursery to parents looking for childcare.

Almost three years my little boy has been going here (started at 10 months old and leaves soon to start reception year at school!). Just wanted to take a moment to say how grateful I am to the team at Little Me Day Nursery The Coach House for the role they’ve played in my son's life. They are everything
he’s known so far. That safe little haven, away from the drama of Covid, he has been kept safe, happy, learned loads, felt loved, and made friends and honestly I feel like we made the right choice for our son, choosing this nursery (and now preschool!). Thank you, team, for everything!

My son has been at Little Me Nursery since he was eleven months old. He spent just over a year in the baby room which he loved, all the staff were so caring and friendly. They always do so many fun and exciting tasks that you would never have the resources to do at home. He has just started in the toddler
room and was quite apprehensive about the change but all the staff are so warm and welcoming he goes in happily. He always comes home saying how much fun he has and how much he loves it! He really rates the food there too, always having multiple portions! The nursery always seems very clean when I go inside and everyone that works there are so friendly and helpful and make me feel at ease leaving my child there. Also, it was probably the most reasonably priced nursery in the area!

My son has been attending this lovely nursery since May 2021 and he absolutely loves it. He started in the baby room, moved onto the toddler room, and is now fully settled and achieving in the preschool room.
He was previously at another local nursery, due to several factors, we chose to move him to
Little Me, and honestly, we couldn't be happier with the decision we made at the time.
The staff, and management of the nursery are all wonderful, very approachable and proactive. Key information from his day is handed over when we collect him, and he always comes out with a smile on his face after a fun day.
The staff have a genuine love of the job they do, which is shown when they talk about their activities of the day and when talking about the children they support. They listen, act and work with us when we have had concerns, such as transitioning into another room.
My son often asks to go to preschool on the days he usually doesn't attend, which speaks volumes in itself!

Our son has been at Little Me for three months now and we couldn’t be happier with the service they provide. He has gone from screaming and clinging onto us during drop offs to running in and not even saying bye! And during the six weeks that took, we couldn’t have felt like we were leaving him in
better hands. The staff are absolutely fantastic and so caring towards all the children. The amount of little activities they do throughout the day is fantastic and has brought our son on leaps and bounds! I would recommend this nursery to anyone. Thank you so much little me staff.

My 15-month-old son has been at Little Me for 5 months now and I’m really happy with the nursery. Due to Covid, our settling sessions were slightly different but we felt the transition was handled really well. He settled very quickly to begin with and now happily walks in on his own! All staff are super
friendly and I feel my son is truly cared for. The manager is really helpful and responds promptly to all communications. The nursery itself is set in a lovely old building but the facilities are modern, fresh, and clean. The food is great, they provide 3 decent meals a day plus snacks, and my son often has seconds! The hours are great for my job and they don’t additionally charge you to drop off at 7:30, compared to some other local nurseries. I’m so pleased we chose Little Me!

My little boy has just left Little Me to go to his primary school and I couldn't be more grateful for the ladies there, my little boy adored them and enjoyed every minute. I loved the fact they treated him like their own and he came out smiling every time. Couldn't recommend them anymore.

Current Review Score: 7.3 (7.286)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.3 (7.286) out of 10 for Little Me Day Nursery The Coach House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 4.208 for Little Me Day Nursery The Coach House is calculated as follows: ( (16 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.208

  • 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 3.078 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Me Day Nursery The Coach House is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.8 = 0.078

  • 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.
