Absolutely amazing preschool. The staff are incredibly caring, creative and supportive to the children and parents.
We started in November 2023 and have settled in very quickly, our daughter is so happy to go and spend time with her friends!
Thank you for everything you do for us and our family!

My twins absolutely loved Little Ashes and we were all upset when it was their time to graduate they used to run in every morning and were always greeted with a smile and lots of different activities indoors and outdoors to keep them busy and learning. The staff’s commitment to keeping them safe while
letting them independently explore things like tree climbing and the use of different tools is like none in other settings. As a mum, all we want is for our child to be safe and happy which they always were Little Ashes and they couldn’t wait to go back the next day! We are so lucky to have found little ashes as I don’t believe there is any other setting like it that gives your children the love and support you would give while teaching them to be risk-takers, explorers and kind-hearted children.
Thank you for everything you have taught them and for supporting me to bring up my independent, lovely little girls!

My daughter went to Little Ashes for a year when she was 3 - I felt very lucky to have found such a wonderful preschool in a lovely location with amazing staff. The forest school was superb, the children loved it. They all thrived in such a great environment. Great mums, great kids, great staff, and
great settings. My daughter has had the best year attending Little Ashes.

Where do I begin?! Little Ashes is such a fabulous pre-school. My son is thriving and has developed a passion for learning. He is excited to go every day and loves his Forest School afternoons. The staff are wonderful, so caring, compassionate and have such a passion for pre-school education. Parents
are well informed with the learning that is taking place each week. I wish I had known about Little Ashes earlier!

My child loves the pre-school and forest school. He runs in each morning and is so happy with the staff. The mix of indoor and outdoor education is excellent. As parents, we would highly recommend Little Ashes.

Both my daughter and son have attended Little Ashes - it is a fabulous place and they love it. The staff are extremely caring and enthusiastic, and the forest school sessions in the afternoons are brilliant. I only wish they could stay there for the rest of their schooling!

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.625)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.625) out of 10 for Little Ashes Pre-School 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 3 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 Ashes Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (36 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 36 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 3.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Ashes Pre-School is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 40 number of registered child places is 8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.375

  • 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.
