My son has started nursery in August 2024, it was difficult in the beginning for him to go since he had only stayed with us parents till then.
But I couldn't be more pleased of how all the staff have taking care of him and how they reassured us everyday that he was ok by texting us and sending pictures.
Today my son loves nursery and every single member of staff. As parents we just feel really grateful for finding such a good nursery.

My son has been attending Little Flowers since one year old, 8 months ago. After viewing every nursery in the area, we settled on this one as we got the best feeling from it, the staff and nursery itself were impressive. The outdoor play area is very good, with various sections for play, growing vegetables
and learning. Communication is great, staff knowledge and feedback is fab and my son settled very quickly here. We're kept updated via an app daily on his sleep, eating habits and pictures of him at play and learning. He eats well with different meals prepared daily. What's more, I can see developmental progress in him weekly from things he's learnt at nursery. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to others.

Little Flowers provide a great service and made me feel really content about leaving my daughter with them. They fulfil the basics of care obviously but really go beyond. They'll answer questions during the day if I'm worried about how she's settling, keep an eye on development for us and are really
responsive on working to our schedule. Great nursery, other parents I know don't get the level of care at their nurseries.

We have two of our girls at Little Flowers Nursery. We love it for them. The staff are always so warm and friendly. Having both girls in the nursery they let them have sibling time. Our girls love being together, and I really appreciate the effort the team go to to make this happen. If I ever have a
concern, the team are there to listen. I feel so happy sending the girls in, knowing they will be safe and very well looked after. Couldn't recommend the nursery more.

My child has been at the nursery from a very early age and I can not fault the management team and staff. They are all very welcoming, friendly and I feel like they really care about my child.
Like all children my child has had there ups and downs about attending nursery and the nursery encourages
patients to call and message about my child settling.
I received regular daily updates about my child's day, changes and daily experiences etc whilst under age 3 now I receive updates on there learning day, it gives me a talking point to engage with my child at the end of the day.
I feel at ease knowing I can pick up the phone at any time and talk to whoever I need to.
I can't recommend this nursery enough there indoor and outdoor space continues to be an ongoing creative project to suit the children's needs at that point in time. There is plenty of staff and they listen to me as a parent and my child.

We have nothing but good things to say about Little Flowers, the staff are lovely and really care about the children. They helped my child develop and grow in a lot of ways and would always give information at the end of the day about what they had been up to that day. My child adored the staff and
had lots of fun while also learning.

They are doing a fantastic job in moulding and preparing for young mines to face and learn the lessons of life. We are very pleased and delighted at their early stage of learning they are fully supported and will optimise their capabilities to surmount any challenges that they may encounter in life.

Although I had a fear when I have seen a change in staff when the manager left I have to say I was wrong for being apprehensive. The Deputy Manager and nursery staff have been fantastic and very accommodating to anything I or my son required. I've just recently had a baby and they have been so helpful
and understanding when I was late, needing to expand my son's hours. Nothing was an issue. I've also noticed a lot more activities being done with the kids instead of just being told yes they played with x,y,z. They've been taking them on walks, making soup, baking, and learning a lot more, and for that, I'm really happy with my son at Little Flowers. My boy speaks highly of them all

If there has ever been any cause for concern, the staff have helped and addressed the issue immediately. I would recommend this nursery for any parent to

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.734)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.734) out of 10 for Little Flowers Nursery 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 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 4.941 for Little Flowers Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (144 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 153 Ratings = 4.941

  • 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 4.793 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Flowers Nursery is based on 13 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 82 number of registered child places is 16.4. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.4 = 0.793

  • 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.
