We are very happy with the Little Flyers @Livingston. Our daughter started there in November after we moved to a new house and we were a bit afraid of how she would settle into the setting if she’d miss her friends from the previous nursery. The team here was very helpful and our daughter was happy
here quickly. There are plenty of activities happening every day and we especially love the little garden that’s open for kids throughout the day in all weather conditions. Also having pictures and seeing what she’s up to every day makes life easier for us knowing that she’s happy.

My child has not long started at Little Flyers and I have absolutely nothing but good words about this place, all staff are very friendly and so helpful, it's a lovely little nursery with so much for the children to do and explore, in the little weeks I have noticed a big change in my child especially
when it comes to talking.

Our boys love attending Little Flyers in Dedridge. The staff are genuine and the kids are safe in their hands. There is lots of variety for children and a good mix on offer - fun, development skills, outdoor time, independence, teamwork and more.


We are glad we chose this nursery and would recommend

it to any other local parents.

We have been part of the Little Flyers family since they began operating here at Livingston. Our son attended here first from 15 months to 4 years, and we loved the nurturing smaller setting. This provided him with lots of opportunities to grow in confidence and become the confident wee boy he is today.
The garden environment was his favourite part of the nursery day and it was fantastic to see him out there in all weathers - come hail or shine! The staff were very friendly and accommodating and built a very special bond with our son and us as a family. When his wee sister joined our family she joined Little Flyers too at 14 months. Now at age 4 she is still there and going from strength to strength. We love the regular updates via the app, the photos of the fantastic activities the staff have carefully planned, along with the less interesting but pretty vital sleep, meal and nappy change updates! We have recommended the nursery to others as we do to you!

Our son started at this nursery in March 2023 and he's doing really well at the nursery. We really appreciate how helpful, thoughtful, diverse, responsible and patient the staff is at the nursery. Our son is very attached to us and we thought he might take more time however the staff did a great job
in showing the same care. He is developing social skills every day and enjoying this time at the nursery. I haven't met anyone rude here as compared to other nurseries. I highly recommend this nursery. Thanks to all who work there and are really nice people.

Our little boy loves going to this nursery. Whenever we drop him off, he does not even look back to say bye. He absolutely loves it. He comes home very messy with a big smile on his face, and it is evident that he had a very enjoyable time. Also, we get daily updates through the app and it is amazing
to see all the interesting activities and learning opportunities he gets exposed to. Staff are lovely and very supportive. We will continue using Little Flyers @ Livingston and will send our second child there too. A huge thanks to all the wonderful staff for their hard work and care.

Our little girl started at this nursery in January. I credit them for her progress over the last few months. She has become so confident, independent and seems to learn something new every day. All of the staff are wonderful, they always take the time to tell me about my daughters day at home time which
is lovely. The communication is outstanding, I love the app and getting to see pictures of the exciting things that happened during my child's day.
Overall a fantastic nursery that I cannot fault in any way.

Our son just loves Little Flyers @ Livingston nursery, he attends nursery in the afternoon sessions. He gets so exited every time he attends, sometimes we have to leave early just so he can be the first there for the 1pm session. My son has made some great friends in such a short period of time and
one member of staff and the team have been absolutely fantastic. Little Flyers @ Livingston have really brought on his language and social interaction skills a treat. His mother and I really felt the Covid-19 pandemic had really affected him at this critical time in his wee life but at Little Flyers @ Livingston nursery he has totally flourished, we really can't thank all the staff enough. Great jobs guys, please keep up the great work you do with our children.

Little Flyers @ Livingston has been such a great nursery for our two year old. She goes one day a week and always has such a great day playing with the other children and enjoying the activities. Would highly recommend, such good value for money and the staff are great. The app used to keep parents
up to date is fantastic as well, I know exactly how much she’s eaten, if she’s had a poo that day or not and how long she’s slept for. All at the touch of a button, such a valuable tool.

Our experience with Little Flyers has been fantastic. Our child had no problems settling in. The facilities are great the nursery is homely and the staff are fabulous. I cannot praise the baby room staff enough.
I would 100% recommend this nursery to my friends.

I cannot fault this nursery in any way! They make my little boy feel safe and happy, like a home away from home. He always comes home dirty and covered in food which to me shows he had plenty of fun with his friends and enjoyed his meals. His development comes on more and more and he always tells me
something new after each session! From 14 months to a thriving 3-year-old, I will be sad when his school time comes but will continue to soak up all the fun he has when he attends little flyers, happy mummy.

My son only recently started attending this nursery and though he had a bit of a hard time settling in, the staff have been great with him and very supportive. All in all, a lovely nursery and one I would readily recommend!

My daughter has been attending Little Flyers Livingston for a little under a year. I cannot recommend this nursery enough. My daughter looks forward to going to nursery each day. They spend time outdoors which I think is very important and the children enjoy a free play setting, allowing them to explore
their imaginations. All staff are friendly and I as a parent am relaxed when my daughter is in their care, knowing she is being looked after well.

Reply from Sharon Fairley at Little Flyers @ Livingston

Thank you for writing this, and cant believe how quickly time is going. The children love being outside, and we are enhancing the garden so that we can offer even more fun in the outdoors.

This is such a great little nursery, my little girl absolutely loves it, the staff are so welcoming. We have a great relationship with all the staff as our little girl has moved up from the baby room to the toddler room.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.717)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.717) out of 10 for Little Flyers @ Livingston is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.917 for Little Flyers @ Livingston is calculated as follows: ( (88 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.917

  • 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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Flyers @ Livingston is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 8 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.
