Little Moors Farm Nursery is a fantastic nursery. The setting itself is wonderful and gives the children who attend the perfect balance of indoors and outdoors based learning. Allowing the children to thrive and explore and simply be the wonderful little individuals they all are. The staff are simply
amazing, supporting each child with their day to day activities and those all important first introductions to set learning and education. They will encourage your little one and appreciate and celebrate their goals with you.
Personally, I don't feel there's anywhere else I'd have wanted to send my child, she's always excited to go and enjoys telling us about the adventures and her peers/the staff and all of the wonderful things that little humans do.
Thank you little moors for really ensuring the children in your care have everything and more they need and feel supported, listened to and encouraged each and every day that they attend.

Little Moors Farm Nursery has, and continues to be, exceptional. Outstanding quality and standards. My child attended another nursery previously which did not meet my expectations, but Little Moors have exceeded it. My child has learnt so much, not only physically but socially/emotionally too. I honestly
cannot say a single bad word about the nursery or provide any negative feedback.
I love their ideology and values, which is reflected in their curriculum too.
5 star through and through!

I cannot recommend Little Moors enough. They took my little one in with open arms and really do treat the kids like their own. They tailor each child’s needs individually and help in every way possible to ensure the kids are getting the best start to their education before school . I wish they had a
school as I know all the kids would do so well and be so happy to come to school.

Lovely nursery with such a kind approach to children and their development. Great supportive ethos with a focus on outdoor play in enhancing confidence and social development.
Highly recommend, all staff are caring, friendly and always approachable.
I always feel confident, reassured and happy when
leaving my daughter at Little Moors and will be sad to see her leave for school.

Both my little girl and boy have loved coming to Little Moors. They love the outdoor adventures, the fun they have there, and all the exciting learning experiences. The staff are all incredibly friendly. I drive twenty minutes in the opposite direction to work each day my little boy attends because
I know how much he loves his time there.

Our daughter has attended Little Moors for over 2 years. It is a fantastic early years environment. She loves every minute she spends there. The staff are engaged and supportive but rules and boundaries are applied. It has been fantastic to watch our daughter learn and grow at Little Moors.

Little Moors provides fantastic care and what we loved most about it was the outside space and the opportunity they provide to go outside every day!
They listen and adapt their care according to our child's needs/capabilities, treating them like mini adults preparing them for future education settings
and how to look after themselves, being independent.
The staff offer amazing care and really treat our child as if they are their own.

My daughter has been attending Little Moors Farm Nursery for over 12 months and every day has been a positive learning experience. She is excited to attend and has made lots of new friends and close relationships with key workers and teachers.


They keep me well informed of the development and progress

along with frequent updates on the portal of their days and activities.
A highly recommended nursery.

Reply from Julia Kirby, Nursery Manager at Little Moors Farm Nursery

It has been a joy knowing and caring for your daughter since she was a baby. We have all felt so close we will miss her terribly now she has moved to 'big' school. All the best with the future, make sure you both pop in and see us.

Such a wonderful nurturing environment, I cannot fault the care that the manager and the rest of the team have given our daughter. I'll be heartbroken when she has to leave! Really supportive when we had a few questions about her development and worked with us to make sure she had the best opportunities
and an action plan in place. Fantastic communication from all staff and a wonderful variety of activities to encourage little brains to learn and develop.

Our little girl has been coming to Little Moors Farm Nursery for a year now. She absolutely enjoys going and never seemingly wants to leave at pick up time!
Our daughter has some special educational needs and has been fully supported by the nursery and has progressed well particularly in areas of speech
and transition.
Nursery have worked with us as parents to give a very tailored plan for our daughter and her learning needs.
In our daughter's own words "it's so fun!" She loves the horses and being outdoors which was a great match for our little girl.
We are grateful for the support of the staff at the nursery and look forward to preparing our daughter for school in the next year.

We moved our 3 year old to Little Moors Farm Nursery and they welcomed him with open arms. From day one he came home smiling and chatting about his days, exploring the Secret Garden and his learning experiences at Forest School. There is never a morning he doesn’t want to go and the staff and children
there, have helped both his confidence and relationship building in a short few months. Learning through being outdoors is one of the main reasons we moved to Little Moors and we haven’t regretted it for a minute. Highly rated and would definitely recommend.

Reply from Julia Kirby, Nursery Manager at Little Moors Farm Nursery

Thank you.
It is a great pleasure working with you and your son. We really appreciate how you get involved with all the planning, supporting what we do at nursery at home.

Our foster child has attended this nursery for eighteen months and has always loved going. As it's an outdoors nursery it suits her as she is very physical and has lots of energy to burn off. I can feel confident that all her needs are met and has really developed achieving her milestones. All the staff
are wonderful, and extremely helpful and accommodate all her needs as a looked after child. The nursery has a good ethos regarding relationships between the children and our little girl who has made very firm friendships. Thank you for everything you have done for our little one.

This nursery is absolutely amazing!
As a working mum of two, I have used a few settings over the years, Little Moors is my favorite! The setting itself is beautiful and well thought out, but the staff that support the children daily and encourages them to safely investigate nature are fantastic. My
daughter loves attending Little Moors, the pricing is fair and the activities are fun. The food provided on site is well balanced and yummy.

When I knew I was due to return to work I explored different nurseries finding the right one for my child. The moment I met the team at Little Moors Farm I knew it was the one my boy was going too.
The nursery have welcomed him in with open arms. Helped him learn and enjoy his time with them while
I attend work. I get feedback every day about his day and there is an online diary they provide to show me pictures of his day, it is so nice to see.
I highly recommend the nursery. They have outdoor space and go on walks daily so the children benefit from outdoor learning too!

After coming across Little Moors by chance I can honestly say I wouldn’t want to send my daughter anywhere else. She had come on in leaps and bounds. Her speech, communication skills, learning, playing, eating everything basically has just excelled. The staff are welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable,
I have no issues leaving my daughter in their care. They are reliable, hospitable to changing needs, and my daughter always leaves at the end of the day so happy.

I moved my daughter due to relocating, the team were very ressuring in settling my daughter and helping her adjust.
My daughter has so much fun at the nursery, she is well cared for and her development has come on so much.
The nursery itself is set in beautiful surroundings. I wish the nursery had
been open when my son was at nursery age as he would have loved it!
I really enjoy getting updates on the parent app with regards activities my daughter participates in.
I cannot recommend the nursery enough.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.962)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.962) out of 10 for Little Moors Farm Nursery 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.962 for Little Moors Farm Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (150 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.962

  • 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 Moors Farm 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 35 number of registered child places is 7, which has been reached with 13 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.
