We are so happy we chose this nursery for our first born. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and supported. They've been incredibly friendly and attentive, helping both my son & us settle in smoothly! The nursery offers a wonderful variety of activities each day, which keeps
him engaged and is excited to receive the photos and updates on the app! The setting is warm and nurturing which makes it the perfect place for little ones to grown and learn. We couldn't ask for a better start! Highly recommend, thank you to all the staff!

From the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere made a lasting impression. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive, which made my son feel comfortable and secure right away. The variety of activities offered is truly impressive. From creative arts and crafts to engaging outdoor play,
each day is filled with fun and learning. My son has settled in beautifully, eagerly sharing stories about his day and the friends he has made.

We would highly recommend Little Learners Land. Our two children, who have different personalities, both thrived there. One of our children needed extra help with speech and language and the nursery accommodated an external speech therapist so that our child could have sessions there, and also worked
closely with the therapist to help our child to talk. Our children made good friends, ate well and did a great variety of activities, they especially liked the various animal visits to the nursery! It is a very nice nursery with lovely staff and children.

My two-and-a-half-year-old son adores this nursery, and I think it's wonderful. I always feel secure when he goes there. I have images of him completing the activities along with descriptions, so I know he is content and engaged in a lot of age-appropriate activities. He gets enough of rest and eats
a well-balanced diet. Everything is really well-organised, and the nursery follows a set routine that I am now implementing at home and it is fantastic. I wholeheartedly advise anyone looking for a nursery for their children to check it out. Your child is going to show significant growth, from imaginative play to verbal communication. The best childcare I've ever come across.

We couldn't be happier with the baby nursery we found for our little bundle of joy. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warmth and charm. The calming colours and cosy atmosphere create the perfect environment for our baby to rest and play. The attention to detail is remarkable. Every
corner is thoughtfully designed, from the soft, plush rugs to the adorable wall art that sparks imagination. It's evident that the team behind this nursery poured their heart into every aspect, ensuring both comfort and style. Safety is also a top priority here. We appreciate the sturdy crib and carefully selected toys that are not only fun but also promote healthy development. It's reassuring to know that our baby is in a secure and nurturing space. Overall, we couldn't ask for a better nursery for our little one. It's a place where love and care abound and we're grateful to have found it.

I cannot say enough good things about Little Learners Land. From the moment I walked through the door, I was impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are incredibly caring and attentive, and it's clear that they have a genuine love for children.
The nursery has a fantastic range of
activities and resources that are both educational and fun. My child always comes home excitedly telling me about the new things they've learned and the friends they've made. It's wonderful to see their development and growth in such a nurturing environment.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with Little Learners Land. It's a place where my child feels loved, supported, and encouraged to explore their potential. I highly recommend Little Learners Land to any parent looking for a nurturing and stimulating environment for their child's early years.

The nursery is great and our child loves going there. The staff is amazing and goes to great lengths to make sure our child's needs are accommodated. There are different activities every day, the rooms are clean and full of fun things for the children to do, the outside space is big and well set up
for children, and the meals are filling and good quality. In terms of learning, our child has improved exponentially since starting 2 months ago, especially in terms of mobility, speech, and social skills.

My child started at the nursery at 5 months, I was very anxious because he was so little, but the nursery did really well in helping me build trust in them. They are always happy to listen to my baby’s needs and make him settle easily, without any tears. It just feels like a home away from home. The
staff are so professional yet very friendly and you can speak to them about anything, nothing is too much for them, and they will adapt their care to meet the needs of the baby. I would definitely recommend this nursery because it’s beautiful, the staff are great with the children, and there’s nothing not to like really. And baby loves it too, I don’t think he misses me at all.

My son started at Little Learners Land at around aged 21 months.
He was saying a few words, but not speaking much.
I wanted him to start nursery to start socialising with other toddlers his age, learn to share toys, and also so that I could start to return to work. I knew nursery would be beneficial
to him for his overall development.
At the start of his nursery journey, he was apprehensive and shy around adults (other than his family) and his peers. After a few weeks, he began to settle in and grow in confidence.
The staff at Little Learners Land are all very kind, patient and helpful. The nursery has fantastic resources and a lovely garden.
Since joining the nursery 5 months ago, my son is speaking more and participating in activities that stimulate his fine motoring skills. The nursery does a lot of sensory activities with the children.
Overall, my toddler is much more well developed and confident since joining.
Thank you so much Little Learners Land.

My child has been full-time since February 2023.
The nursery is new and clean and they create a safe and fun environment for children to explore and develop. The staff are excellent, attentive, caring and nurturing, and welcoming and chatty to me. I get updated through an app every day of meals, nap
times, nappy changes, and photos. Meals are varied and healthy, and my child enjoys eating up all of them every day. My child loves attending and is very happy there. Little Learners has been outstanding in the development of my child and I would highly recommend it.

We have been at Little Learners Land Nursery for 4 months now, and we are happy with how our little girl is learning something new every day. She is already pronouncing a few words and she likes puzzles.
The app has useful information: pictures of the day's activities, what she eats and how much she
is eating (every day of the month there is a different menu).
I appreciate the fact that I can enter the kindergarten and see the playrooms and sometimes how my little girl plays.
The garden is splendid.
Each room has a sink for children to wash their hands.
The manager, is communicative, present every day among the children and all children love her.
All the staff are nice and professional.
The rooms are very spacious and full of light, they are clean and the toys are well-maintained and in order. For us, it is important that our little girl stays in a spacious, clean and bright environment so that she learns to keep things tidy.
I really recommend this nursery!

My little boy has been attending Little Learners Land since he turned 12 months. Naturally, I was so apprehensive leaving him in someone else's care, but Little Learners Land have been more than amazing in making me feel comfortable that he is safe, well looked after and happy. The nursery is always
so clean and spotless.
I get updates throughout the day of what he has eaten, his sleep and photos! He is always so happy at nursery, they do so many fun activities. The staff make such an effort to make sure he is well looked after. They definitely go above and beyond. Shout out to the staff! You girls are amazing and work so hard. Thank you!

I think it's only natural every mothers fear of letting their little ones go off to nursery, for me I was overwhelmed with concern thinking no one was capable of looking after my little one the way I did, I was scared and reluctant but after visiting the Little Learners Land, I was impressed immediately
with the mobile app and the staff presence, normal, lovely and genuinely nice people. My son started only 2 months ago part time (a few mornings) due to personal circumstances I had no choice but to opt to full time and I honestly couldn't be happier, his speech has come on tremendously, he's happy, the nursery staff keep me up to date on the app throughout the day and also give me a run down at the end of the day. My son is in a better routine, bedtime is easier and earlier and he genuinely loves going! Win win! I couldn't rate this nursery any higher than the stars allowed a massive thank you to the whole team, you are all wonderful and I can't thank you enough for the love and support.

Little Learners Land Nursery is an outstanding place for children. Our daughter settled in quickly and received lots of positive encouragement and care from the team there. As we have a bilingual child, we could observe immense progress in her communication and social skills after starting with Little
Learners Land. We truly have a child who walks in there every morning happy to see the team and the rest of the children, which for us is the best feedback we could receive. The team is extremely caring, careful and invested in the individual needs of each child. They do partner up with parents, communicate regularly and engage children in activities meant to develop and encourage progress. We are extremely lucky to have registered our child there and would strongly recommend the nursery to any parents who truly want the best for their children. The team there are true professionals and we would like to thank them for everything they do!

All feedback on his day is gratefully received, and it's wonderful to see that he is already reaching his targets in such a short space of time.

I highly recommend Little Learners Land to who is looking for childcare and amazing experiences for their children. My baby boy has been in here almost since the nursery opened and he has blossomed into an amazing, independent and intelligent baby. They offer the most professional, caring and responsive
care and are focused completely on the children's wellbeing and learning. My baby boy is for the moment part time and I am so happy that I can go to university knowing that he is safe and loved. Soon as I start my job I will give him full time. I am so happy I choose Little Learners Land for my baby boy. Highly recommend this nursery.

I've worked in nurseries for many years so finding an outstanding nursery for my daughter was hard, until I found Little Learners Land. As soon as I stepped in through the door, I just knew this was the nursery for her. The staff were lovely and were able to answer all my questions and concerns I had.
They spend lots of time getting to know the children during the settling-in processes to insure they are as settled as possible when they start. Since my daughter has started she has learnt so much, they always have a huge range of activities out for all ages and abilities as well as an amazing garden area!
When my daughter first started, she was very shy but she has really come out of her shell and enjoys her time at Little Learners Land!
I couldn't be any happier or more thankful that she attends this nursery!

It is a true honour that you have chosen Little Learners Land for your daughter especially with your experience of working in nurseries over the years!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.743)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.743) out of 10 for Little Learners Land 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 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 4.993 for Little Learners Land Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.993

  • 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 4.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Learners Land Nursery is based on 12 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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.75

  • 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.
