The Little Den is such a wonderful nursery; the staff are all incredible and my little boy has loved every minute with them. It’s a lovely environment and there’s an outside area to play in as well, I really do recommend it!

My son had a great time at The Little Den Hanford, I can’t thank the staff enough they’ve been so supportive and helpful for both me and my son. I’m so upset that my son is now leaving but honestly, my son was so happy during the 2 years he spent there.

My son attended the nursery for just a short time before he started school nursery but in that time the amount of progress he made was astounding. Before he started his speech wasn’t that great but he left much more confident with his speech. The staff were all amazing, giving you feedback on how he
had been throughout the day and seeing his development and what he was doing throughout the day on the app was great, it also made it easier to communicate with them throughout the day if needed. Choosing The Little Den Nursery was honestly the absolute best decision I could have made for him and if I was ever to have another child then I wouldn’t hesitate in my decision of choosing which nursery, it would be here!

The Little Den Day Nursery is a lovely nursery. All of the girls are always so happy and chatty and helpful. The app is always updated so we know what our child is doing throughout the day and if he's eaten or had a sleep.

We can't recommend The Little Den Day Nursery highly enough, from the moment we stepped through the door we knew that we wanted our little boy to attend. The manager and the whole team are incredibly passionate and enthusiastic and our little one is thriving. We especially like the nursery size, the
groups are small, allowing not only a personalised approach but also a lovely bond between staff and children.

Lovely family-feel style nursery. All the staff are so welcoming and professional. They notice the little details about the children. My boy loves it there and I feel confident that he is well looked after and cared for.

This is a lovely little nursery, my little boy loves going and has come on so much since being here. The staff are friendly and take special care of the children. There are always fun activities going on and it's lovely to see on their app what the children have been up to.

From when our baby started at the nursery there have been non-stop welcomes and friendly atmospheres. Always available to adapt and support in whatever way is required and the most reassuring factor is that every member of staff displays the same attributes and approach, which provides a stable and
consistent environment.

My baby started at the Little Den at nine months old and after viewing a number of nurseries, when I walked into the Little Den it instantly felt like home. A place I was comfortable leaving my child. I honestly could not be happier with his time at nursery. They have created such a happy, nurturing
environment for personal development whilst creating a safe, homely space for the children. The staff are incredible and treat each child with care, love and encouragement. My little one is coming on leaps and bounds and it's all thanks to the manager and her team.

I can not praise The Little Den and its staff enough. We are always greeted with a smile, I love the daily updates via the app and my daughter absolutely loves going to nursery. I feel completely at ease leaving her in their care, knowing she is safe and well looked after. Nothing is too much trouble
for the staff and parents' input is always welcomed. The perfect setting for children and would highly recommend it!

The Little Den is the most perfect setting and my little boy has thrived during his time there. I work in the early-years field myself, so choosing a nursery was always going to be difficult. As soon as I visited and spoke to the manager, I knew instantly that this would be the place for my little boy
who is now in the preschool room (Bears). The girls are amazing and have been so caring and nurturing during his time moving from room to room. The activities provided are inviting and I feel comfortable leaving my little boy whilst I go to work. My little boy had made so many strong bonds with the team and often tells me how much he loves them. I would highly recommend this setting to other parents.

My eldest daughter attended The Little Den not long after it first opened in 2019 and stayed there until she had to attend reception. From our initial look around the nursery, right up until today, as my second daughter now also attends, I have never had a doubt in my mind that this was the best nursery
for my children. The staff are all great, the nursery is a beautiful, calm and nurturing environment and I couldn't ask for anything more from The Little Den and the staff that have helped to take care of my babies.

Excellent nursery! My little boy has been going there since he was 9 months old. Since attending, his speech, walking etc has developed massively. The staff are so attentive and keep you up to date throughout the day with your child. Every week he brings home things he's made or painted.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.827)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.827) out of 10 for The Little Den Day Nursery - Hanford 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 3 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 5.000 for The Little Den Day Nursery - Hanford is calculated as follows: ( (36 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.827 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Little Den Day Nursery - Hanford is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 26 number of registered child places is 5.2. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.2 = 0.577

  • 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.
