We moved our son from his previous nursery to little adventures when he turned two. We're so glad we did. He has really grown in confidence since starting at little adventures. We no longer have tears at drop off and he even hugs his amazing key worker goodbye. The staff are all very welcoming and friendly.
I love seeing the updates on what they've been getting up to during the day and it's great to see him going outside so much.

Our daughter absolutely loves Little Adventures Nursery Bristol St Phillips and the nursery staff. She is always so happy when she's being dropped off in the morning. We feel very comfortable knowing she's being well looked after. The staff is communicative with us and extremely attentive to our daughter's
needs. Her overall development has been rapid, and the staff celebrates all her milestones. It's clear they absolutely adore her, and the feeling is mutual. The meals are top-notch and have really helped develop her eating skills and her palate.

We have had such a great experience with this nursery and would recommend it to anyone. The staff have been amazing, so friendly and welcoming. They really took the time to update us on how the day had gone at pick-up and made us feel at ease in those first few weeks. The updates on the app are great
and really informative. We are so happy we chose Little Adventures Nursery Bristol St Phillips.

We have had a fantastic experience with Little Adventures Nursery Bristol St Phillips. We were so anxious to leave our little one for the first time, but the whole team were so kind and supportive. The staff really make the nursery. It has such a personal family feel, which we really value. The toys
and activities are really exciting as well, and our son has settled in well and enjoys his time there. We love that they go on outings each day and look at the trains or the ducks nearby.

We've been sending our daughter to Little Adventures Nursery since October 2024 and it's been nothing short of amazing. The staff are incredibly organised, which gives us peace of mind knowing she's in great hands. Everyone is professional yet warm and welcoming, creating such a comforting environment
that our daughter settled in quickly. We love how the kids get to go on little adventures around the city and visit the local park, she always comes home excited and full of stories. Plus, the staff are excellent at keeping us in the loop with updates on the app, so we always know what she's been up to. Honestly, we couldn't be happier 10/10, highly recommend.

I have had the most amazing experience with Little Adventures nursery! I am a mother of two children and was very very anxious on sending my son to nursery anywhere!! But however, when I went to visit Little Adventures I was welcomed in so amazingly and was so lucky to have met such an amazing team.
The nursery made sure that I didn't feel left out and would tell me everything that is going on. I'm constantly updated as to something as small as when my son has eaten and how much they have eaten. Having worked in the education sector myself I am aware of how anxious parent can be sending their kids to a new place but I'm so lucky and glad to say that I would recommend Little Adventures Nursery to anyone who asks. And I just want to give a big shout out to the whole team at Little Adventures for making me and my family feel so welcomed and a part of the nursery.

My son started here in October and I'm so glad I picked this nursery. He absolutely loves it here the staff are so nice and I love the way the nursery is set out. Definitely recommend! I was originally looking for a nursery with a garden but the way they've done their garden is amazing and they take
regular trips out which is great! I love the regular updates too!

We were nervous to leave our daughter at a nursery after a previous negative experience elsewhere, but this place has been so welcoming and encouraging. They have all made an effort to get to know our daughter and us as parents, and we can see from photos and updates on the app, as well as verbally
when we pick her up and at parents evenings, that our daughter loves every minute of it; constantly shouting out names of the carers and other children. We are so lucky to have been able to get a space here and it's lived up to its wider reputation as a brand too. Thank you Little Adventures team!

Recently joined this nursery and what a lovely nursery. Staff are warm and welcoming and always willing to help. The manager was able to accommodate me in regard to my little one transitioning to nursery and me starting work after maternity leave.
I feel comfortable to voice any concerns or worries
I may have.
Thank you all.

Fantastic new nursery, my son has recently started at Little Adventures and we are very happy. The Little Adventures team have great communication via the app and at handovers, they regularly update the app with information about activities done that day. All members of staff are kind and approachable,
my son enjoys his time at nursery and has settled in well. They serve a range of food and have a wide range of toys and activities such as painting and making salt dough. Despite not having outside space attached to the building, there is an indoor garden upstairs with slides, tricycles and a play house. The nursery team take the children for walks outside daily and to the park next to the nursery. Overall very happy with the nursery and the team.

Staff are all really lovely and all the toys and equipment are brand new, we especially love the indoor garden they have. My child loves the food and always has a good day there. Love the app that tells you in real time what they are up to. Would recommend.

Our daughter started this nursery earlier this year and absolutely loves it! Within a week she was completely settled in, loves all the staff and the place. They have an indoor garden, that the kids love and is ideal for winter months. Also, they do plenty of walks along the river and to the local playground.
The nursery gives us regular updates with photos of all the great activities they've been up to, log their meals and nap times. Which is very reassuring. Couldn't recommend it more!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.910)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.910) out of 10 for Little Adventures Nursery Bristol St Phillips 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 4.910 for Little Adventures Nursery Bristol St Phillips is calculated as follows: ( (131 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.91

  • 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 Bristol St Phillips 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, 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.

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.
