I have had children at Little Echoes for the past 6 years and they have been truly excellent. It is so important to have somewhere you feel happy about sending your children for the day. My boys have always been happy to go in and have come out having had a great day.
Since working from home post
Covid, the nursery is actually quite a bit out of our way but we couldn't find another setting closer to home that provided the same level of service. Their facilities are excellent, the food is great and the staff are lovely. I would highly recommend Little Echoes to anyone looking for a nursery.

Little Echoes is a wonderful nursery. Our daughter loved it there, and now, seven years later, our son is having the best time, too. The staff are warm and friendly, and clearly enjoy what they do. There's always a wide range of activities on offer to keep the experiences fresh and new for the children.
We love the regular photo updates on the app, too.

Little Echoes Nursery has been a fantastic place for our child's early development. From day one, the staff have been so welcoming and kind. We've seen such a difference in our child's confidence and communication since starting here. We also love getting updates and photos throughout the week on the
app - lovely to see what the kids have been up to.
Little Echoes is warm, friendly, and really well-run. We'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a caring and fun nursery!

Both of my children have been to Little Echoes from the age of under 1 until leaving to start school age 4. Both children are very different but they both loved going in each day - testament to all that is on offer to engage each child's interests. The staff are so kind and knowledgeable on your children,
which I believe has helped my children do so well - their connections with the staff has been lovely to see. Communication is excellent. I always felt heard as a parent and supported where needed. My two have been/are in such a good position to start their school journey in September, as a result of the foundations that Little Echoes and the amazing team helped develop.

Best nursery in the area. Our son was going to Little Echoes since he was 1 year old and he loved it all the way through. Staff are so nice, caring and they are like second parents to our children. Food is very good. Would recommend it to anybody. Top nursery!

Little Echoes is an all round wonderful nursery. Very nurturing with many long standing members of staff and strong leadership. I've had two children go to this nursery. My first had a great transition into primary school thanks to skills she learnt and guidance provided at nursery. My second child
is still there and is thriving. The team truly care for the children and you are always well informed on their day to day activities alongside default progress updates (whilst encouraging an open door policy for all parents). The facilities are lovely, with plenty of outdoor space and a large dedicated sleep space for the little ones.
I continue to love being part of the Little Echoes community.

My child has been with little echoes since he was 14 months old. The nursery staff have been nothing but caring towards him and he feels at such ease there. I love the indoor garden so the children have the ability to burn off steam on the rainy days too, I have not seen this in other settings and it
is a real asset. The app is easy to use where you see the menus, your bills/balance and pics from the key worker. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery!

My little boy started in the baby room last year when he was 7 months old, the team made me feel at ease and less anxious about returning to work. Everyday he goes in running and happy to see the staff and never seems to want to come home! They provide a great range of activities which support him in
his learning and development, We see lots of pictures on the family app of what he's been up to!
He loves the food and is offered a great variety of different foods everyday. When my son had a milk intolerance/reflux the team were understanding and ensured he had his own food separate from the dairy foods etc. Which made me feel very at ease while he was at nursery. All staff are friendly and welcoming and my little boy waves and smiles to them all. Great to know he's making relationships with key people in the room as well as around the nursery. Which will help him with his room transitions as he gets older.
Overall we are extremely happy with Little Echoes and would highly recommend!

Both of my children have attended Little Echoes Nursery for several years each, spanning the "Dizzy Duckling" baby room right through to the pre-school "Clever Cats" group.
My children absolutely love going to nursery and have formed great bonds with the staff during their time there. Their social
and general development has been great, and that is largely due to the wide range of activities and learning opportunities they've experienced at the nursery.
I can't thank all of the staff at Little Echoes enough for their role in my children's early years development, and would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a nursery for their own little ones.

Little Echoes is a truly wonderful nursery. My daughter has been at Little Echoes since she was 10 months old, they have really cared for her and she has really thrived. The settling-in process was fantastic, solely building up her stay until she was fully attending which was a welcome surprise. All
the staff genuinely care and nurture the children. My daughter has made some wonderful relationships with the staff and other children. I feel so happy sending my daughter to Little Echoes and highly recommend it!

I have now had two children attend Little Echoes and I continue to be impressed with how they nurture and develop the children and support the parents. Both children have loved going to the nursery and my nearly 6-year-old asks to go back!

Lovely nursery, our little boy loves it. Never any tears, he is so happy and excited. His development is amazing. At 18 months he can count to twenty, identify different numbers and is beginning now to recognise some letters too. The staff are so friendly and treat him as an individual. I would highly
recommend Little Echoes.

My daughter has settled into Little Echoes Day Nursery fantastically during these difficult times. The staff have created a fantastic, safe learning environment for her which she loves. As a first time mum, I couldn't be happier in finding such a lovely nursery where my daughter is well looked after.

We have been using Little Echoes for about 2 years and both our children have come on so well. They have made great friends, learnt and developed greatly. We cannot fault the staff, they treat the children as though they were their own. The building and facilities are designed well for the purpose.
Great healthy variety of food.

Since starting both my boys at Little Echoes in February this year, I have been really impressed with the service they provide to both the children and their parents. The staff are simply brilliant. They all work extremely hard and we are met every day with a welcoming smile. The boys, particularly
my 3-year-old, has come on more in his short time at Little Echoes than he did in 2 years at his previous nursery, while my one-year-old is always happy to be dropped off and responds so well to everyone there. The day to day routine put in place offers structure and reassurance and certainly works for us. I can't recommend them enough.

My son has been at Little Echoes for over a year now and comes home a happy child. He often says "Mummy I love school" My son has flourished and become a confident, independent child. The staff are so hands-on and attentive, every day you get comprehensive feedback on how their day was. The acre and
interest are outstanding. Thank you so much Little Echoes for taking brilliant care of my child while I have to work.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.881)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.881) out of 10 for Little Echoes Day 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 4.9 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 4.958 for Little Echoes Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (138 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.958

  • 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 4.923 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Echoes Day 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 65 number of registered child places is 13. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 13 = 0.923

  • 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.
