Good environment, friendly & patient staff. My daughter did not know much English when she joined, but the staff educated her step by step. She pronounces & speaks more vocabulary now. Every time when I pick up my daughter, either she is in storytelling or playing in the garden. My daughter changed
from unliking going to nursery, and now she cannot wait to come to nursery. She has a lot of friends here now. When my daughter falls down while running, the staff always immediately show care. My little son eats, plays, and sleeps a lot in the nursery. Thanks so much to their innovative approach to education.

Reply from Shivani Bakhai, Nursery Manager at Little Lionhearts Nursery School

Thank you for your review. I am so glad your two children are making such progress and talking about their fun experiences at the nursery. I love it when your little girl shows me all the pretty dresses she wears. Her confidence is growing day by day.

As a parent, selecting the right nursery for your child is a difficult decision. After careful consideration, we decided to share the experience with Little Lionhearts Nursery School.
My son's growth and progress since joining Little Lionhearts Nursery have been remarkable, thanks to their innovative
approach to education.
Also, every time, when my son goes to nursery, is happy, which makes us happy.
Moreover, the communication between the nursery and parents is excellent. I receive regular updates on my son's activities and areas of development, allowing me to stay actively involved in his early learning journey.
Choosing Little Lionhearts Nursery for my son has been one of the best decisions I've made, as a parent. I wholeheartedly recommend Little Lionhearts Nursery to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching environment for their child.

Reply from Shivani Bakhai, Nursery Manager at Little Lionhearts Nursery School

Having a learning experience that brings the fun back into learning is our aim as children learn while enjoying their childhood.
Thank you for the feedback and we hope to develop more ways of working in partnership with the parents.

A family-based setting for a well-structured nursery. Loving, caring and dedicated staff who welcomed my grandson and our family to their little group of lion cubs. Having moved to the next room he is developing and flourishing along as we all work together for the main aim of fun and frolics in an
educational setting all in the name of learning. More than satisfied with our choice as he is more than eager to attend every day as he is well versed in his carer's names and all the work he completes. A relief to have chosen well. Keep up the good work all!

Reply from Shivani Bakhai, Nursery Manager at Little Lionhearts Nursery School

Thank you for your response this is truly touching. We are glad that your grandson is flourishing in the nursery and it is a delight to see him grow into such a confident little boy.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My son has been at Little Lion Hearts for about a year now and he seems to love it like anything. He’s built great relationships with the staff and other kids and is always happy to go in. His development has excelled in this time and he’s always excited to tell me the fun things he’s done in the day.
He’s becoming more independent each day and it’s hugely to do with the time, energy and effort that’s put in by the staff.
The staff are all so lovely, full of knowledge and you can see how caring they are to each child.
The best decision I made was putting my son here and we couldn’t ask for any more!

Reply from Shivani Bakhai, Nursery Manager at Little Lionhearts Nursery School

Thank you for the lovely review about the nursery. I am glad that you are able to witness the growth that your son has made in the nursery due to the handwork and commitment of the staff. We hope to continue seeing him grow with us.

This nursery is amazing. Children not only learn new knowledge but also manners and values. My son has been trained to potty training and it has been very successful. They always welcome him with a smile and positive energy from the very early morning. They all look after them like they are their own
children. Finally, the food is very nice and well balanced, the dynamic and variety of activities are outstanding and the children learn all the skills that they need. Lastly, all the staff is very friendly, kind and respectful.

Reply from Shivani Bakhai, Nursery Manager at Little Lionhearts Nursery School

Thank you for the informative feedback about the nursery. We are glad we can be part of your little one's growth and he has come such a long way from when he started. His personality is truly shining through.

Our child has been at Little Lionhearts Nursery for a month now. He's settled in much sooner than expected. The staff is very welcoming and they always us feel comfortable.
They have taken the time to get to know our son. We realise that from the way he communicates his likes and actions to us.
The

We look forward to our son blossoming at this nursery.

Fantastic nursery! Having viewed a few nurseries, I’m so glad I chose Little Lionhearts for my daughter. She has settled in quickly and is now flourishing. The staff are all absolutely wonderful and they’ve created a warm, welcoming and fun environment within the nursery. I particularly love the daily
updates on the app and the monthly newsletters detailing what’s ahead is also helpful.
Huge ‘Thank You’ to everyone at the nursery, especially the Baby Room. I’m grateful that my daughter’s growth is in such good hands.

We were deciding between a few local nurseries and decided on Little Lionhearts Nursery School. All the staff members are amazing and really hands on and support the learning needs of each child. Our daughter had initial struggles settling in, but now loves it and has warmed towards the staff and enjoys
going in and being creative. Has a lovely small courtyard for outdoor play. We always look forward to the daily update on the app as to what our daughter has eaten, as she is picky eater and have found she eats a lot more around her age group and with the encouragement from her teachers. Thank you Little Lionheart for all your hard work on a daily basis. Highly recommend if your in Sudbury Hill and Harrow area.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.892)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.892) out of 10 for Little Lionhearts Nursery School 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.892 for Little Lionhearts Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (257 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.892

  • 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 Lionhearts Nursery School is based on 24 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 88 number of registered child places is 17.6, which has been reached with 24 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.
