Day Nurseries Owned by Dean Close Little Trees Day Nurseries in Monmouthshire

Little Trees St Arvans has given them such a strong foundation for the future, and it gives our whole family great peace of mind knowing they are so well cared for. I would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any family.

Nursery staff play such a vital role in a child's early life, and the team here take this responsibility very seriously. I drop my child off knowing he is safe, happy, learning, thriving and having the best time. I would 100% recommend this nursery.

We have one child currently at Little Trees and one who has recently left to go to school. Both our children have been so happy there and cared for. The staff are fantastic and go above and beyond to create magical experiences for the children. Both my children have always felt safe going to nursery, and known and loved by the staff. Staff are great at keeping parents updated too, and are always welcoming and approachable.

Both the Staff and setting are fantastic. My daughter can't wait to go in every morning. Greeted by welcoming staff who are always so supportive, open and caring. My daughters development, both emotionally and physically, have been largely down to this amazing team who always provide an engaging, fun and educational setting for her to grow, become independent, but most of all, she has fun. They have helped, in partnership with me, create a foundation for her to grow and thrive. I will always be thankful for there hard work and commitment.

The staff in explorers have helped my youngest settle in with ease, he is always happy and busy whenever we pick him up at the end of the day and he transitions into nursery easily in the mornings. The activities that are planned for the babies and toddlers in this room are engaging and always really well thought out to enhance the children's development. Communication is excellent as well!

My son started at Little Trees St Arvans in October 2025 and has been so happy when he started. The team in Explorers have all been very friendly, approachable and caring towards the children. My son has settled so well and looks forward to going into nurseey in the mornings. At pickup, he is happy to show me what he isThe outdoor space is impressive and it's so nice that they have access to natural outdoor play. The staff are all so lovely and get to know the children so well. Often at pick up, I will see staff reading to one or a small group of children which is important I feel. A really great nursery with very special staff.

Overall, I have been extremely pleased with our experience at Little Trees.

My daughter loves it at Little Trees St Arvans. The staff are all brilliant with her and helpful on drop-off/pick-up. Her key worker Alice is very thorough and keeps us updated on how she's doing, and has been quick to speak to us of there has ever been an accident or any other causes for concern. Our daughter has really come out of her shell at the nursery recently and this is a testament to the staff and how they create a locely safe space for them. We've had no issues at all, everything is run professionally and I couldn't recommend it enough

My daughter started at St Arvans in July after spending 18 months at a different nursery. She was initially quite scared, due to how busy and loud it was (the old nursery was much smaller). The staff were brilliant at helping her settle in, taking time to be 1:1 with her when she needed comfort or to be in the quieter sensory room. The staff have been really good at keeping us updated with her progress and achievements, using the app to send messages. We have plenty of opportunities to get feedback, with parents evenings and even invited for stay and play sessions to observe how the children interact at nursery. I love that the independence is encouraged by letting the children make their own breakfast and this makes it easier to get ready for nursery each day! The manager has a visible presence on site and seems to know the children well- she is very approachable. The whole experience of moving nursery has been made easier by all the staff, so I have no guilt now!

The nursery has been brilliant with both of our children! The staff are friendly and always on hand to help and both our kids have absolutely loved being there. Would absolutely recommend the nursery.

My granddaughter was also very happy at the nursery as well

The staff are excellent, they are very caring to the children, they communicate well to the parents, they show thorough planning and observation, they are dedicated to safety and they enhance the areas with fun and educational activities. We are very pleased with how our child hads settled. We can have open and helpful discussions with his carers about what he needs and how he is growing and progressing. He loves the food and the resources and indoor and outdoor areas are perfect for his need for fun, active play.

Fabulous experience my 3 year old and 1 year old are looked after wonderfully, lots of outside play, messy play, water and sand play. They're well fed and both go in to nursery happily. Preschool team have a fantastic range of activities and go above and beyond for the children in their room.

The St Arvans staff have made both my children feel welcome and supported from the very first day they joined. As a parent I am extremely happy with the frequency and breadth of feedback I receive about each child through the app - both on a day to day basis through the photos and 'Wow moments', and through the more in-depth summaries I receive regarding our children's progress. The staff are the perfect balance of caring, supportive, and pragmatic while not being overly familiar with the children. Overall I am very pleased with the care my children receive from all the hard working staff. My children are so happy at nursery here!

The staff at Little Trees St Arvans are all absolutely lovely - so caring, attentive, and always welcoming. It's clear how much they genuinely care about children, and it shows in how happy and settled my son is every day. The range of activities they offer is fantastic-from creative arts to outdoor play, cooking, and sensory activities, there's always something exciting for the children to do. My son always comes home smiling and full of stories about his day, which is reassuring as a parent. The communication from the nursery is also great. We've seen our son grow in confidence and happiness since he started. Thank you to all the amazing staff- you make such a difference, and we're so grateful for the care and love you show every day!

My second child currently attends this nursery after my first child enjoyed it so much. The nursery is in a lovely setting which lends itself to outdoor play and learning. The staff go above and beyond for each child

Brilliant nursery staff, the care and attention they give our child is excellent, and they are always able to give a full update on how our child has been during the day. Huge range of activities are put on for the children, and they are taken outside to play almost every day (weather permitting). Great updates through the app and lovely weekly round up posts so you can see what your kids have been up to.

Since starting at LT St Arvans my son's speech & language needs were flagged right away, a plan put in place and full transparency from the nursery regarding their concerns. They put us at ease right away with their attentiveness.

4 months on and my son is thriving. His speech has improved and his confidence is undeniable. They have nurtured him and adapted surroundings to help him when he needs it.

Thank you Investigators!

When we moved to the area, our son struggled, but Little Trees did everything they could to help him settle and I cannot thank them enough. They genuinely care about every child and what interests them. They also make everything so much fun!

We moved our 3yo from another local setting which had good reviews but where, even after a year of going, often he was hysterical at the idea of going. Within a fortnight of starting at Little Trees, he was like a different child. The staff are well trained, creative and fun, they obviously love and respect the children, the food served is nutritious and well portioned. Activities are great fun and the inside and outside spaces are well thought out, plentiful and well looked after. Overall I am so pleased we made the decision to move here and I readily recommend it to others considering a local setting
