I just have to thank Little Adventures Nursery Taunton and the staff, for all the care and attention they give my son and me. The entire staff is attentive and patient, not to mention the food served, which my son simply loves. The nursery structure is also very good, full of useful toys and instruments
for the good development of little ones. I recommend.

My son has been attending Little Adventures Nursery Taunton since September 2024. As a first time mum, I was quite anxious about leaving him and unsure of what to expect from a nursery. However, the entire team has been amazing. My son has grown and developed so much since he started and I'm thrilled
that I chose the right nursery for him. Thank you all for everything you do!

We've had a great experience at Little Adventures Nursery Taunton - our little boy took a long time to settle and found nursery difficult to begin with. The staff went above and beyond to make him and us comfortable and were so patient with him. He absolutely loves nursery now and when we pull into
the car park calls out his key workers name. The nursery staff are all great and really care for the children and they keep you up to date with all the lovely activities they do - we'd highly recommend them as a provider

Couldn't think of a better nursery for my child, they couldn't be more than accommodating for my child. They are all so happy and also have a smile on their faces which is lovely to see first thing in the morning. I would recommend them to anyone.

Little Adventures in Taunton has been wonderful for my son. He has developed a strong bond with the staff and really enjoys the variety of activities they offer. They are helping him develop and learn so many new things. He's been trying new foods that he loves and is always so happy when he comes home.
I highly recommend this nursery to anyone!
A big thank you to all the staff!

I had prior experience of this nursery as my niece used to attend holiday club. The staff always appeared friendly and professional. My other niece then joined the nursery from a previous one and I am pleased that this experience has confirmed my previous view. My niece loves her time at the nursery,
her pick-up was professional and informative. Will definitely be my pick of nursery in the future.

Our daughter has been attending this nursery for almost one year now, ever since she was 9 months old. The staff at this nursery are absolutely amazing, they always go the extra mile for her and all the children there. They are very caring and considerate and make every effort to aid with child development,
as well as giving monthly reports on how that’s going. We feel lucky that we found them!

Little Adventures Nursery was a fantastic find! It's hard leaving your child in someone else's care every day but she is learning more at the nursery than I could teach her and she loves going there.
We love the daily updates, photos and monthly reports! It's great to see the kids having fun and enjoying
different activities.
When it comes to collection, the staff are always happy and enthusiastic and take the time to chat and update you on how the day went.

Since my daughter started nursery in October 2023, she is continuously learning new things. She has built fantastic relationships with the staff team and will fondly talk about her nursery day. The communication on the app is fantastic with daily updates such as meals, toileting and what they have been
doing whilst also making it easy to contact staff or management. The manager is very friendly and approachable yet professional and there is always any opportunity to speak to her when needed. The nursery has recently had an extension for a larger room area and also the garden refurbished and a new office area. The company always seem to be striving to improve whether it’s the nursery environment or a new curriculum that has been put in place and value parent feedback with regular opportunities for this. We love the nursery and learning opportunities they provide for our daughter and are so pleased we chose Little Adventures.

My son has attended the nursery for the last 4 months and he has settled in well over this time. The team of staff are lovely and this was the main reason that I chose this nursery for him. They don’t have the easiest of jobs by any means yet are still so passionate, enthusiastic and caring. I feel
more relaxed as a parent knowing that my son is in safe hands by people who care. I also like that the nursery is of a smaller scale too as the staff know all of the children including the management. They're not just a number.

My daughter and I had a big separation issue on both parts due to my son dying before her but since starting at Little Adventures Nursery, they came up with a plan that would enable myself and my daughter to feel as comfortable as possible, they kept me up to date via the family app, when she had her
bottom changed, when she drank milk, what she ate and when she slept.
They sent me updates and photos throughout the day which helped my anxieties.
It really is a home from home environment, all of the practitioners are wonderful and approachable.
I really like the diversity that the team offer.
They have a chef there and everything is homemade which is so lovely.
The management are always out on the floor and available to chat.
Highly recommend

My daughter loves the staff and always gets updates on my phone on how she’s doing during the day and she’s progressed so much from being in there as a little person to where she is now. I can’t thank enough the staff who has helped her achieve so much. It breaks my heart to say goodbye but don’t worry
we will be in touch and we will keep you posted and updated on how our daughter is doing. Keep doing what you are doing. We can’t thank you enough for everything you have done. This is one of the best nurseries in Taunton by far.


Fantastic nursery, team, and management and best of all you got soft play next door and whenever I pick her up from nursery she’s smiling at me so it just shows that she has had a lovely day. They are completely understanding of the nursery, our little one will be back one day we think to this nursery!

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our two young children started at this nursery last month, just after it opened. We have been so impressed by how all the staff have helped them both settle in. They both seem to love it already. The facilities are modern and there is a lovely range of toys and activities in each room.
The small number
of children in each room is a real bonus, it gives more 1:1 time for each child and you can see each staff member knows all the children individually which is lovely.
The large, private garden area is looking great and there is plenty for the children to do inside and out.
The use of the Famly app is great, it’s lovely to see photos, videos and updates of what they are getting up to every day.
The staff have been really accommodating with booking some extra days at short notice for us when we needed it too. We would highly recommend it.

I can’t recommend Little Adventures Nursery highly enough!
My little one joined when they first opened and she absolutely loves going there. All the staff helped my little one to settle in, it seemed a very smooth transition with their help.
They’ve got a lovely garden where they spend a lot of
time, the nursery is always very clean and the staff is always helpful and smiling. They’ve got an app when they post photos and activities during the day and I am more relaxed to see my little one happy and enjoying herself. They’ve also done developmental level on the app with everything my daughter achieved.
I am really happy that my daughter goes to this nursery.

My child has just started at Little Adventures. This is the first time they have gone to nursery or been with anyone apart from family. We are so pleased we picked this nursey. He has settled much quicker than I expected him to. He has the best time there. The staff are all so welcoming and approachable.
The setting and facilities are all fantastic and very clean. Also having access to the soft play is an absolute bonus for my soft play loving child. Their communication is spot on, the app used to update parents is very easy to navigate which is great as it means I am easily updated throughout the day about my child.

My two children went to the holiday clubs twice during the Easter holidays. All I can say is it was fantastic. My two children have additional needs and apart from school or family members looking after them, they are never away from me. This is a first and I was put at ease and my two loved it so much.
Thank you so much to the team for allowing my two to have some freedom and independence away from their mum. I will definitely be paying for them to come again.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.968)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.968) out of 10 for Little Adventures Nursery Taunton 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 4.968 for Little Adventures Nursery Taunton is calculated as follows: ( (150 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.968

  • 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 Adventures Nursery Taunton 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 26 number of registered child places is 5.2, 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.

Job Title: Head of Projects

Joined: 2021

Hi, I’m Jay. I joined Little Adventures Nurseries in November 2021 originally as Nursery Development Manager. I am now Head of Projects.


I have been working in the Early Years sector since 2009. During this time, I have held various positions from Nursery Nurse to Head of Operations overseeing several nurseries. Before joining Little Adventures I was a manager of a 129-place nursery. I feel extremely fortunate to work in the Early Years as I know how important these years are for children. I completed my BA (Hons) in Early Years Education in 2017 and this has helped me further my own knowledge of how children learn and develop. I have a passion for ensuring that the teams are trained to a high standard to deliver the best quality care. I have a son of my own so understand how important it is to ensure that you choose the right setting for your children.


In my free time, I like nothing more than exploring with my little family and our collie. We absolutely love baking together, especially the tasting part.

My name is Angelene and I have over 25 years’ experience working within the Early Years Sector. My main experience has been within Nursery settings where I have run busy, Baby Toddler and Pre-Schools rooms.


For the past 14 years, I have had Leadership and Management roles including managing a 100 place Ofsted Outstanding Nursery. My experience has enabled me to support, mentor and train staff. I have worked for Little Adventures Nurseries since June 2022. My role is to develop staff training, this is implemented through e-learning modules, company-wide inset days, in-house training for individual settings and specialist training days at our designated Training Hub.

My role also includes visiting each nursery at least bi-annually to complete Quality Audits against our company policies and values as well as the Ofsted Grade Descriptors.
