My 2-year-old daughter is thriving at Little Grange Nursery in many ways, and I am thrilled with the level of care she is receiving.
Her confidence and speech have grown rapidly within the nursery's environment and the care of its attentive staff.
The nursery building itself is beautiful with wonderful
outdoor spaces and the use of woodlands to adventure in. My little girl couldn't be happier and it's great to hear about what she's been up to at the end of each day.

Little Grange Nursery is an excellent environment for children. My daughter has just graduated to Reception after a year at Little Grange. She has enjoyed her time, made very good friends and is prepared for the transition to school. The setting benefits from the 90 acres that are used for outdoor play
and forest school. The setting is very well equipped (facilities), with excellent qualified carers and superb catering. Most importantly I have found the care flexible to allow my daughter to be curious and free-spirited while maintaining boundaries. The carers work with parents in the development path and the communications on the portal (daily updates on activities with lots of pictures) and in person are great. I highly recommend this nursery.

On my first visit to Little Grange - the staff were exceptionally friendly and particularly careful to check who I was. Their relationship with the children was delightful, and the whole environment, cleanliness and management were faultless.

My 3-year-old son and my 1-year-old daughter both attend Little Grange Nursery and we have been so delighted with the care they receive there. Although they have similarities, both children have individual personalities and interests and are actually quite different. I feel this has been recognised
and truly nourished by all the carers which is incredible. They are able to identify when one is having a bad day or not feeling themselves which is so reassuring when, as a parent, you are away from your children. You want them to be well looked after and at Little Grange they really are. So much outdoor time and seasonal activities for the children too. The staff also support the independence of each child as well as their learning. Both of my children have come on leaps and bounds in terms of confidence since joining Little Grange. We couldn’t be happier with the nursery.

My little one has thrived at Little Grange, his speech, comprehension, and confidence. He has moved into different rooms as he has gotten older and is happy. The staff are reassuring and helpful, the environment is clean, vibrant and welcoming. I love the open plans, and the children are encouraged
to be independant but with structure and routine. I have seen many nurseries and this is by far the best I have encountered, and I am grateful my little one is here.

Really happy with my child going into Little Grange Nursery, the way they care about her and inform any news or updates, and the way they post pics in the app every day for parents to see what they are doing and learning are pretty awesome.

My son have started since it opened last year. He was in a different nursery before we moved him to Little Grange Nursery and he was very happy from the first day. He settled in very quickly and he is always happy there. He has developed really well since he have joined Little Grange. The place has
really wonderful outdoors and is full of exciting activities throughout the day. We would highly recommend.

My son started at the nursery in February 2023 just after his first birthday. The manager and staff in curious cubs (baby room) really took the time to settle him in well. All the staff are so nurturing and supportive and they provide him with so much care, attention and positivity. The building is
well resourced and the food is fantastic; hats off to the chef as my son is always going for seconds! Communication is efficient and I am regularly updated throughout the day on my son’s developments. My husband and I couldn’t be happier, and we would recommend Little Grange Nursery to anyone looking for a caring, supportive, educational environment for their children.

I am thrilled with the care my daughter receives at Little Grange Nursery. She was at another nursery previously so we can compare with others and say that Little Grange stands ahead a mile. We receive daily posts and pictures on the activities she and her classmates have done. All activities are well
planned and resourced and most importantly, centred around learning. My daughter who used to cry going into her previous nursery now rushes into her room and barely glances back to say bye! Her learning and development has come on leaps and bounds. The nursery staff are highly competent, nurturing and kind. We feel so safe with them and moving our daughter to Little Grange was the best decision.

My son started Little Grange in September 2022 and we have been delighted with our experience. He is quite a shy child and the staff have been brilliant at gently helping him to come out of his shell. They have taken time to get to know him and it has been so wonderful to see him blossom and become
more and more confident. He is so excited to get there each morning and always comes home brimming with stories of all of the wonderful activities he has enjoyed throughout the day. We highly recommend it!

Our son started attending Little Grange recently and we could not be happier with the setting, facilities and staff at Little Grange. He settled in really quickly and I can only attribute that to the care and attention from the staff. I love receiving daily updates on activities through the app and
seeing what they have been up to. My son also really enjoys the food - wholesome balanced meals are on offer at each mealtime throughout the day. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic nursery, my little boy loves it and has come on leaps and bounds since joining in August. All the staff are amazing and are so supportive. They look after your children as if they are their own and build special bonds. I could not ask for any better for my son. I would recommend Little Grange
nursery to any parent looking for a nursery.

Little Grange is superb. We had a well-considered and mindful transition phase into the nursery, with our key worker ensuring our one-year-old daughter was happy and comfortable in her new environment. Communication is excellent. The food and provisions are of very high quality. Lots of outdoor and
sensory play which my daughter absolutely loves. My daughter is very happy there and so are we.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.933)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.933) out of 10 for Little Grange 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.933 for Little Grange Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (334 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 358 Ratings = 4.933

  • 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 Grange Nursery is based on 30 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 81 number of registered child places is 16.2, which has been reached with 30 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.
