Our child has been going to Little Treacle's for over 6 months. The child is very happy in the setting and as parents we are equally happy with the way the nursery accommodates kids' preferences and interests, as well as their wellbeing. It's always tricky when kids are at a very young age and cannot
communicate properly, but we feel the nursery staff and management are very attentive to their needs.
Since it reopened under new Management last year, the nursery is very popular locally and overall we're happy with the setting they have created for kids and the care they give them. I have no hesitation in recommending it to other parents thinking of choosing Little Treacle's for their little ones.

We are so thrilled with Little Treacle's Nursery, where our son has been attending. He absolutely adores it, and it's clear why. The staff are exceptional-warm, attentive, and dedicated to keeping parents fully informed. At pickup, they provide a thorough handover, detailing his day, and they're always
happy to take calls if we want an update, which offers such peace of mind. Since starting at Little Treacle's, our son's development has progressed remarkably; his learning and confidence have grown by leaps and bounds. He comes home beaming, chatting endlessly about how much he loves the nursery and the staff. We couldn't ask for a better environment for him!

We love Little Treacles! Our 3 year old daughter and 1 year old son attend the nursery and they couldn't be happier there. The team are professional, kind, caring and well trained in what they do which is everything that we that we want. We love that our children are constantly learning through play
and exposed to many exciting experiences, both in the nursery including sports and dance lessons and further afield including a trip to the theatre and local soft play! The nursery leadership is impeccable, we feel that our children are exceptionally safe and nurtured in the environment and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Little Treacles to anyone!

My son started at Little Treacles Nursery in September and we couldn't be happy with the level of care he has received there. All the staff are absolutely brilliant, in particular my son's key worker and another staff member. He raves about them and what they've gotten up to every time we get home.
We feel comfortable leaving him in their care and confident that he will be well looked after.
The actual nursery has a lovely set up, with plenty of choice of toys and activities and is always kept clean. The location is great as it's right next to a park and playing fields where the children are taken to often to get outdoor time.
We love that we get observations with photos and descriptions every time he's there so we can keep up to date with what he's doing.
In summary, we would highly recommend Little Treacles to anyone that is looking for a nursery for their little one.

We couldn't be more delighted with Little Treacles. My daughter (3) is clearly very happy there. The staff are so open and welcoming and we always get a run-down of what they've been doing each day. The nursery has its own allotment and they regularly go to the playground and the local library. My daughter
went on the train to Sevenoaks to deliver donations to a foodbank once - she was so excited to go on her first 'school trip'. My older daughter (6) has also attended their holiday club and she absolutely loves it and always asks to go back. For anyone who was familiar with the previous nursery at this site, the two businesses couldn't be more different. After the new manager took it over, the hall has been totally re-painted and they have far better toys and resources for the children and are much better at communication. I had a good feeling about Little Treacles from the outset, but nearly a year later we are still super happy with them. Definitely recommend!

I have been incredibly impressed with the staff at Little Treacles from day one when we enquired with them Summer 2023 when we saw they were taking over a previous nursery on the same site. Sam and Kelly were thorough in their information and were very flexible in their approach. Every care has been
taken for allergy concerns. I love that the staff have taken the extra time to get to know parents and welcome them inside for pickup and you don't feel rushed out the door. They provide so many extras that you would not get at other nurseries - making homemade bread, taking the kids to their own allotment, teaching the children important life skills with rearing the nursery baby ducks, making homemade lavender playdough. Just fantastic! We receive daily updates via the app and weekly newsletters of what the children have learned that week. We are looking forward to their family fun day in July! Thank you to all the staff for taking such good care of our children.

Reply from Samantha Adams, Nursery Manager at Little Treacle's Nursery Ltd

Thank you so much, we are glad that you as parents feel welcomed inside during drop-off and pick-up times as this is something really wanted to embed from day one. We are very excited for our first family fun day and look forward to seeing you all there.

My son has been going to Little Treacle's since they opened in October 2023. The staff there are incredibly welcoming and lovely. My son has come on leaps and bounds with his social skills and has made lots of lovely friends. He is always very happy to go in nursery and actually asks me if he can go
to nursery on his day off with me. I would highly recommend this nursery. The nursery itself is always very clean and has lots of lovely toys and a nice outdoor area - they do lots of brilliant activities.

My son started at Little Treacles at 10 months old and I’ve felt he’s in safe and caring hands since his first day! The staff are all so lovely and the nursery has a very homely feeling. We get regular updates via an app including photos and it’s lovely to see all the different activities that he gets
to take part in. At pick up I always get a rundown of his day and it’s clear that the staff know him very well despite him only attending once a week. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a nursery in Sevenoaks.

As a mum returning to work, I couldn’t be happier and more relieved about the high-quality provision and care my 2-year-old receives. She loves attending Little Treacles and talks fondly about the staff and her friends there, even on the days she doesn’t attend. They are incredibly welcoming, friendly,
patient and accommodating (to name but a few!) We are so grateful that our daughter goes in happily and without any hesitation. She is provided wonderful experiences to support her development and the communication from staff about her day is great. Her independence is nurtured and key skills are promoted daily. We were thrilled that they offered after-school care and holiday clubs - our eldest equally loves being at Little Treacles! The nursery just radiates warmth and care in wanting to give all children there the best opportunities, as well as supporting busy, working parents!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.924)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.924) out of 10 for Little Treacle's Nursery Ltd 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.924 for Little Treacle's Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (133 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.924

  • 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 Treacle's Nursery Ltd 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 32 number of registered child places is 6.4, which has been reached with 12 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.
