The nursery is in an idyllic country park so the kids go to the farm, the adventure playground, the reservoir and the woods every day, spending a good chunk of their day outdoors where they should be at that age! Little Life staff are warm and nurturing and provide a stable, fun environment for all
the kids where they learn in nature and indoors. Couldn't recommend enough!

My son is very attached to me (he never allows me to leave him at Sunday school or play group), however, he settled in very quickly at the nursery. I believe it’s the care and support given by the staff that helps him settle in. He enjoys the outdoor experience, particularly visiting the farm.
I would
definitely recommend this nursery.

I was a bit worried about my grandson starting nursery at first. The settling-in arrangement by the nursery was well planned and he got settled in approximately 2 weeks which was a great relief for us. The nursery is in the country park and is close to a farm and an adventure playground which my grandson
likes so much. He talked about his activities in the playground and farm with us when he returned home. I can tell he really enjoys the time while he is away from home. The staff are very caring and pay good attention to his needs.

My son has had a difficult time, being born during COVID Lockdown, he did not get to see or hear as many family members as I would have liked. He was very attached to both myself and his mum.
I honesly thought he would never let go of either of our hands. We were locked in our homes during the first
six months of his life and his social skills have been affected. After starting his placement at the Little Life Nursery, my son has made such improvements, I would not have believed possible unless I saw it with my own eyes. The Little Life Nursery has made such a difference, not only socially, but my son's confidence has soared over the past few months. The care and attention he has received is evident, he comes home singing songs, telling us about his new friends and talking about his day. It is the perfect setting for him as he loves outdoors and the farm which gives him a great introduction to animals and nature.


I would highly recommend bringing your child to this lovely gem of a nursery!

I am so glad I stumbled upon this amazing nursery, we just happened to pass by on a day out in the park and immediately enquired as it ticked all the boxes in what we were looking for. As we found out more about the nursery, the activities, the resources, and the experienced staff, we were immediately
impressed and were lucky enough to get a place for our son to join. Having looked at a few nurseries prior to this, we hadn't found anything that we were fully comfortable with until we found Little Life Nursery. Our son loves going here, he talks about it every day and even asks to go in on his days off! He surprised us by how quickly he settled in, which I feel is a true testament to the lovely staff, and now runs in happily without a backwards glance. I couldn't wish for anything more. A truly brilliant nursery, in the most perfect setting, I recommend it to any parent looking for an all-round setting for their child.

This nursery is proving how amazing they are day by day. This is how it started: We were in Aldenham Country Park when we noticed the open day for this nursery. I was thrilled to learn about their teaching approach and was amazed by their various outdoor activities and the beautiful green scenery. They
have an accessible playground just outside the fence and they offer activities like yoga and small walks in the bushy area surrounding the nursery. Very nature adapted and feels nice for my son to be in such an atmosphere. I spoke to the nursery manager, she was informative and knowledgeable. My son started and he couldn't stop talking about "koko" the lamp! Very good start as a nursery. Thank you team! keep striving for the best!

Little Life Nursery is a wonderful nursery set in the beautiful surroundings of Aldenham Country Park. The children have access to the farm, lake and 100-acre wood. Every day is a big adventure. The staff are nurturing, engaging and always there to help. All members of staff show respect and care towards
my child and I know he is well looked after whilst in their care. All activities are carefully thought out and put into place to support each child's next step/learning outcomes. My child is given healthy meals and the nursery is very clean. Little Life Nursery ticks all the boxes for me and my son, and he is extremely happy and settled very quickly. He has good relationships with staff/children and always has lots to tell me about when I pick him up. This nursery is a pure gem!

My son started here recently and I couldn't recommend this place enough. He has learnt so much in the past few months it blows my mind. The staff are extremely lovely, friendly and so loving with the children. The place is also very neat and hygienic with so many high-quality modern materials for the
children to use. He loves going to nursery and requests to go, it's one of his favourite places to be. The farm is so exciting for the kids and he learns so much and enjoys being outdoors. The manager is so lovely. They send us regular updates which I love seeing. The yoga is also amazing I see my son doing it at home and it highly regulates his emotions. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough and I feel so pleased and at ease to have found such a beautiful environment for my son to be in.

There is no better nursery in the area like this nursery! Very clean and hygienic (I spent almost five hours with my son inside the nursery). The team is very much experienced and friendly and keeps you informed and updated on a daily basis via their app. They have fascinating activities all nature-based
and productive. I loved the yoga sessions, it calms my son and reflects on his attitude. Their food is tasty and freshly made daily (my son asks for their food at home). Small setting, my son is getting the full attention and care needed. If I want to sum up my experience with this nursery I would say "Amazing!" they literally ticked all the boxes.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.084)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.084) out of 10 for Little Life 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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 4.917 for Little Life Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (11 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.917

  • 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 3.167 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Life Nursery is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 30 number of registered child places is 6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.167

  • 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.
