My child has been attending little trees Christ church for almost two years, we have always had great interactions with the staff.
Morning drop offs have always been good, there is always somewhere to park and the ladies are always quick to welcome us into the building.
The evening collections are
always good, we leave feeling like we have had a very good explanation of our child's day. The ladies always make us feel listened to and like our child's matters.
Thank you for such a lovely experience.

This is my first experience with a nursery having used childminders previously and can honestly say we are so happy with the care provided to our little one. He previously had some difficulties with drop offs in other settings but now absolutely loves going to nursery and no more tears. The staff are
very friendly, manager and deputy manager are great. They provide good handover of the day and always responsive to communication/ changes in need of child etc. The chef is wonderful and provides a variety of healthy foods. It feels like a really community spirit and extended family

My son has been attending little trees Lansdown since he was two. We love the personalised care of the children and I completely trust them with what I love most in the world.
He has grown and developed with them and will be going to school next year.
The communication is great and we have a daily
insight of their activities, food etc with the app as well as regular meetings to check development.
Also, I couldn't have done without the extended hours, starting early.
The price is high but it's a great place and I'd happily recommend it.

We've had a truly positive experience with the nursery. From the very beginning, the staff have been warm, welcoming and really caring. It's absolutely clear that they are passionate about working with children and creating a safe, nurturing environment. The facilities are clean and well-organised,
the calling in and out, especially with one parent to come in is a thoughtful and well designed security measures which gives me a great level of confidence. There's a great balance of structured activities and free play which has really helped build our child's confidence and development. Communication has been superb and most importantly, our child loves it there. Kudos everyone.

Staff are really welcoming of my child which is really nice as after 3 years he still cries on drop off-but that's him, not them!
He loves the workers In his room and has lots of friends there.
Thanks for all you do to support him it means a lot to us as parents

Wonderful nursery. I love the atmosphere here. Really warm and welcoming.
Such care, knowledge and attention is put into daily activities for the babies/pre-schoolers and I'm so thankful my baby gets so much stimulation and interaction on the days I'm working and he's in nursery. I also think the
opening and closing time is very generous (8am-6pm) allowing plenty of time to not have to rush to the office in the morning and then from the office to evening pick up.
The staff are amazing, I feel so comfortable leaving my baby with them and it's obvious to me that my baby is really happy and settled here.
The meals are healthy and a good variety and I know how much my baby eats because it's all updated on the app.
Forever thankful to all at Little Trees Day Nursery.

All the staff, those who look after the children directly and those that work in the office are all lovely and happy to have a conversation at anytime to discuss your child, their needs, any concerns you may have and to take on board any feedback. They are especially great during the initial settling
in phase. They seem to offer plenty of on-site activities, including those provided by external suppliers (for an extra fee) as they get older. It would be nice to see more off-site activites as the children get older. Although I understand this is probably not an easy feat. They have a wonderful outdoor space and it's been good to see them invest in this over the years. It's great the older children seem to get out most days but it'd be good if the babies could be taken out more frequently, although again, I appreciate this is much more difficult when they're less mobile and are all on different schedules. Ultimately a great nursery where my children excel and are happy, with caring staff

Since our son started attending Little Trees, he has thrived. The staff's support has allowed him to build his confidence and become an outspoken, playful, kind toddler. He often comes home knowing new words or actions and I know we have the staff at Little Trees to thank for his speech and social development.
The environment they have created for the children is wonderful and we couldn't imagine sending him anywhere else. He is safe, happy, mentally stimulated and well looked after; we couldn't ask for more!
Reply from Vicki Weyman, Deputy Manager at Little Trees Day Nursery TutshillThank you so much for your kind words! It really is wonderful to hear that the hard work each staff member demonstrates everyday is recognised by the children and parents who attend our setting. Recognising the difference we make, to each child's development, brings a huge sense of pride and achievement! Thank you!

This is the best nursery around! Having moved from another nursery to here, I cannot put into words how incredible they are. The workers are all SO hardworking. They put in so much time, effort, thought into all they do. There are multiple amazing fun stations set up every day, imaginative, interactive
and fun. My child loves to come each day, and I really don't blame them! They're surrounded by people who actually care, fun things to do and they seem to love the food too. I honestly don't have a bad word to say.
Reply from Kyra Niblett, Deputy Manager at Little Trees Brownshill (Formerly Polly's Day Nursery)Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review.

Our son has attended Polly's/ Little Trees for 3 years, throughout his time at nursery he has experienced every room and engaged with most of the teachers. He started as a nervous and sensitive child, which Polly's have supported throughout. All the teachers know our son - not only by name but also
his interests. Our son absolutely loves coming in and even between room and teacher transitions - which he finds very challenging at home - he has quickly adapted due to the support and structure. The activities are well thought out and structured, as well as the teachers having the knowledge and confidence to adapt to children's interests.
Reply from Jess Martin, Nursery manager at Little Trees Inchbrook (Formerly Polly's Day Nursery)Thank you for your thoughtful review, we appreciate your kind feedback. It has been a pleasure to support your son during his time with us, and we have thoroughly enjoyed watching his confidence grow and flourish.

Fantastic nursery setting. My son has been with Little Trees (Originally Pollys) since he was 10 months old and settled well into each room. He is now is preschool and seems to be enjoying his days there. The staff are very knowledgeable, capable, and kind taking care to get to know each child individually.

We've had a really positive experience for both our kids at Little Trees - one currently in Babies and one in Preschool. The staff are lovely and clearly dedicated to the children they look after. We feel like they know our kids really well and can respond to them as individuals, be it in relation to
their learning needs, or supporting them emotionally.
The activities are fun and stimulating, and the extra curricular classes on offer are a nice extra.
The building itself is old and could definitely do with a bit of smartening up, but actually, I don't think this affects the kids at all - if they go in happy, that's what matters. The outdoor space is absolutely fantastic and they really make the most of any opportunity to get outside, which is something we love about the nursery - it's a huge bonus having so much space for them to run around, climb and explore in.
Overall, we would definitely recommend Little Trees Lansdown to anyone thinking about placing their child there

Little Trees is fantastic, my little girl has been here for just over 2 years now, has been through 3 or 4 room changes and every single time the staff have been brilliant. They all know her really well, she trusts them and knows where to go if there are any issues. There of course are 'incidents' but
these aren't down to lack of caring and are always followed up and we're well informed. They offer extra activities like Football, Phonics and dance and my little girl is so excited every day when we talk about her day. The rooms are large and clean, the garden where they spend as much time as possible is lovely and safe, the carpark can get busy but that's just down to timings of people leaving work. We love being invited to the events like Mothers Day breakfast, Stay and Plays etc. its really lovely to see the interactions in person. Parents evenings are helpful which you don't get elsewhere. The menu is great too - I quite often wish I could pop in for lunch!

My son loves going to Little Trees! They always do a variety of activities and lots of crafts! My son learns a lot at nursery including social skills, counting, songs and dancing! The nursery also offers many optional extra-curricular activities. They spend lots of time in the big garden during the
summer! Staff seem to genuinely enjoy their work and love caring for the kids. The nursery is very good at keeping parents/carers updated with their child's daily activities and development through their app. Thanks, Little Trees!
