My 18-month-old son is currently at Little Robins and has been since January 2024, the skills he has learnt in this time have been amazing. My daughter also attended from 2 years - 4 years and she still talks about how much she loved Little Robins and all the staff. Even during the recent staff changes
we have been informed about everything along the way. The managers are amazing and run a fantastic team of practitioners! All of the workers adore the children and you can see how much the children love them too!

My little boy started at Little Robins Day Nursery full-time in September 2024. He's not been to nursery before and has settled in so well thanks to all of the wonderful staff! Every day at drop off and pick up we're met with huge smiles and open arms. My little boy adores nursery so much so that we
have tantrums in the morning at the weekend when he stays home!
The staff truly do nurture and protect each child as if they were their own. There's a huge variety of experiences and opportunities for the children, one day is never the same as the last. I'm not just saying this but this nursery truly made my transition from new mum back to career path so much easier and less guilt-ridden! The app is the best when I need a pick-me-up while at University! Knowing my baby is happy, safe and loving life! Nothing is too much for staff, my boy is lacto-free without flinching he was supported with this.
I could go on forever...
Thank you to everyone at Little Robins, Hartshill! You're amazing.

When my little boy started nursery in November 2019, he didn't speak many words, didn't know many shapes and was shy around other people... Fast forward to June and since he's been attending the nursery his speech has come on, he's a happy little boy who will now talk to anybody. I can't thank the staff
enough for helping my little boy blossom. The staff are very helpful and treat every child like they would their own. My little boy loves the staff and even when he comes home he mentions them. Thank you Little Robins.

Hi, I would highly recommend this nursery the staff are fantastic with my children and my children have both settled lovely. I am amazed that there was no tears. My kids have a few weeks off due to Covid-19 but I received a telephone call a couple of weeks ago to say my kids can start back from the
1st of June. I was unsure at first but the nursery have put all measures in place for 2m social distancing as best as they can, they have bubbles of 4 which works really well, they have regular hand washing and they have a choice of activities and toys for the children. Thank you for making my kids welcome, they love it.

Lovely nursery. My son settled in really well. The Manager/owner was always on hand for anything you wanted to discuss or needed. Beautifully designed rooms. Everyone was very passionate about their job, which made for a happy positive environment for the kids. I would definitely recommend! Thank you
to you all for looking after my little boy. X

I entered my little girl (age 2 ½) into this nursery in September 2019 and the faces at the door are constantly smiley - they couldn’t be more welcoming if they tried. Little Robins have reinstalled my confidence in nurseries, having had a very bad experience in the previous nursery we were at. The
level of care is second to none. If you are looking at nurseries, I strongly suggest Little Robins should be on your list.

Little Robins Day Nursery is high standard nursery located in very confident place outside Newcastle Under Lyme. The nursery is well secured and also has good outside space, little parking space and own sensory room, ticking all the boxes.
We both, as parents, think that this place is outstanding in
the area.
The staff are amazing, from the time you cross the door you feel a welcoming, friendly and caring atmosphere. During the stay my daughter managed to reach milestones like eating, learning letters and using the toilet independently.
My daughter absolutely adores this place and loves coming in, I will recommend the nursery to everyone 100%.
Hours available are very flexible and supportive for working parents.
Thanks you to the manager and staff - keep going doing an amazing job!

Our little boy has been going to this nursery full time for over 2 months now and we are so happy with the care he is getting. It gives us such a peace of mind thinking that our child is well looked after and is really enjoying and learning at the same time. He loves going to the nursery every morning
and can see the excitement in his face as he is waiting to explore things. The staff is very friendly and qualified. What we really like are the activities that they plan throughout the day which gives the child the chance to learn and have fun at the same time, he has already been to a few nearby places in this short time and he does really enjoy these outdoor trips. The rooms are well planned and laid out with a wide array of toys including a number of sensory areas. We are really happy that we choose this nursery for him and would highly recommend.

Little Robins meets all of my youngest sons needs and he will stay here until reception. He was unsettled at his last nursery so I was so happy when a friend recommended this setting. All the rooms are calm, fun, natural, learning environment from their baby to toddler to preschool. The rooms are huge
and the outside space is amazing! The learning is suited to each child/their interest. Staff are always pleasant and happy to answer any questions. The food is freshly cooked onsite and it’s always clean. They are very competitively priced with local providers, I travel from the other end of the city as nothing else compares.

My child absolutely loves Little Robins...and so do I! His eyes light up when I mention Nursery and his new friends! The nursery is always extremely clean, the staff are fabulous! There is a massive amount of toys, equipment and learning resources available to the children both inside and out in the
garden! I commute nearly 5 miles in rush hour traffic to take him to Little Robins despite the fact I live minutes away from a hand full of nursery's... because the minute we walked in my son felt right at home... off he went without a care in the world and rather than crying when I left him... he cried when he had to leave.

It’s not easy returning to work, especially when your little one seems so small. In her 2nd week of attending Little Robins my 7-month-old bounced up and down and babbled away when approaching the nursery entrance. I felt absolute joy that I had chosen a nursery that she was so clearly happy to go
to. What attracted me to the nursery was how beautifully the rooms were decorated and filled with a variety of play areas and unconventional toys that encourages children’s imaginations to explore and learn. The staff are wonderful and friendly, they inform you of all the different activities your child has done and food they have eaten. Little Robins is such a lovely warm, nurturing environment it gives me complete peace of mind going to work knowing that my child is having a lovely day at nursery.

I am very satisfied with Little Robins Day Nursery. My 9-month-old baby has adapted easily to their friendly environment and he looks very happy when playing with his new friends. Even though the nursery has been open shortly, rooms are very well organised and there are plenty of toys for kids inside
and outside. Staff are always welcoming and caring for the children. I am happy to recommend it to other parents. Thank you! Little Robins.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.272)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.272) out of 10 for Little Robins Day Nursery - Hartshill 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 Little Robins Day Nursery - Hartshill is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 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 3.272 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Robins Day Nursery - Hartshill is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 68 number of registered child places is 13.6. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.6 = 0.147

  • 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.
