Our little girl has been going to Little Trees Celtic Springs since she was 9 months old and absolutely loves it there and so do we. She has her quirks and challenges but the girls in every room she's been in have been incredible with her. The fun and friendly atmosphere they create in there from the
second you walk through the doors is lovely and the way they interact with the children and care for them is so nice to see - even giving them cuddles throughout the day.


We don't have family/relatives close by so the girls really are an extension of our family and are a massive support to us as parents which we are so thankful for. I honestly don't know how they do what they do so well when they have so much to do during the day and I don't think they realise how important their jobs are to us as parents which makes them even more special in our eyes.
We're so glad to have found Little Trees Celtic Springs and would just like to say a huge thank you to you all.

Food for afternoon sessions is terrible, cheese and crackers, a wrap. These children need proper meals as after 6pm to have a proper meal is not really ideal for either the children or the parents. The food is really poor for the price you charge for a basic snack!

The nursery are so great with my little girl. She absolutely loves going in, runs over to the breakfast table every morning and even on collection she wants to show me all the toys she's been playing with. We get a really detailed overview of what they have been doing through the day upon pick up and
often get updates on the app with photos which are so lush to see! It's so so reassuring knowing while I'm working, my daughter is in safe hands and the girls that look after her genuinely care about her wellbeing and development.

Couldn’t ask for more caring and kind workers to look after my son. He struggles with drop off and everyone there goes above and beyond to settle him in quickly. They always do a variety of lovely activities, sending my son back with a goody bag of arts and crafts. There’s plenty of outdoor space (perfect
for a high energy toddler) and they do “bear hunt” walks to the nearby lake.

Our son has always struggled with going to nursery as it’s only one day a week but when he moved from Explorers 1 to Explorers 2 and got his key worker things changed massively! She was a wonderful key worker for him and he loves her! She has made his experience in nursery a very positive one and the
nursery are lucky to have her! He is now in Explorers 3 and has been for a few sessions now and seems to enjoy it! Staff in Explorers 3 are building on the great foundation his keyworker has laid for him in regards to his experience. Thank you to all the staff and especially now in Explorers 3 for helping him transition into the new room successfully! It’s a lovely nursery and all of the staff are lovely, we love getting updates on the app so we can see what his day has been like ready for when he comes home. We especially love reading any observations they have. Thanks everyone!

All of the staff at Little Trees Day Nursery Celtic Springs are great. My daughter absolutely loves coming each week and has grown in confidence since attending. The staff carry out regular observations and I am always updated with food she’s eaten and what activities she has taken part in during that
day. Looking forward for my youngest daughter to start next month and to watch her develop. Would definitely recommend x

This is a fantastic nursery. They provide a safe and happy place for children to play and learn. Having moved my son from a different nursery I was worried about how he would settle but with the help of the staff he settled quickly. It is clear to see that the staff want the best for the children. They
are always happy to take the time to listen and help to reassure you whenever needed.

My daughter has been in a few nurseries now due to moving areas and this has been one of the best! The staff are so caring and kind. They really get to know each child, and the parents. It makes such a difference dropping of your child knowing they’re in safe and happy hands.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son started at Little Tree's Day nursery when he was 10 months old, to say we were nervous would be an understatement. Our son is now 2 years old and runs into nursery without hesitation. The staff at the nursery are so welcoming and made myself and partner feel at ease through the whole settling-in
process. Our first impression of the nursery was very positive - the nursery is open-plan and has such a homely feel to it.


The nursery uses an app - where we can access information on how our son has been throughout the day. The observations the staff complete on a weekly basis via the app are absolutely fantastic! It's so lovely to have regular updates through pictures and videos of our boy having so much fun. It makes going to work that little bit easier. The nursery also has an onsite cook who freshly prepares all the food, the food is always varied, and my son always eats absolutely everything!


Overall, we would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.

The nursery is fantastic, all the girls are very welcoming, I'm so grateful to you for your patience, enthusiasm, and passion. I really appreciate the hard work that is put into looking after my daughter. I want to express my sincere gratitude to all the teachers who have contributed to my child's growth.
I feel that my daughter is in really safe hands, she's learnt so much and that's all thanks to the girls who work here. I can't remember all the girl's names but they are all so lovely and have made me feel at ease knowing my daughter is looked after and her key worker really makes a fuss of my daughter which she loves, lovely little bond they have got that's so nice to see.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic nursery and the staff have been amazing with both my children. My children have thrived in the nursery setting. They do so many different activities each day which are all age-appropriate and educational. It is hard handing your children over to be looked after by people you don't really know
but my children absolutely adore their nursery teachers. My eldest who is now in reception still regularly asks to go and see her teachers as she misses them.


Keep doing an amazing job Little Trees Newport.

Our daughter is currently at Little Trees, with our eldest having attended the nursery. The leadership team and caring staff at the nursery are excellent, understand the worries of parents and the needs of children, and they are always there to answer any queries and provide find depth feedback daily.
The nursery has a lovely atmosphere that nurtures the growth and development of the children. I have always felt comfortable and safe leaving my children in their care. I would recommend the nursery without reservation.

I am so pleased I have finally found a nursery my one year absolutely loves. From having a negative experience previously to now having such a positive impact on my one year old and myself, it's such a great feeling to have. The attention to detail of the staff and interaction is amazing. I have seen
such an improvement in my son's development already. I couldn't have done it without the support from the ladies from explorers 2. They are fantastic!

To put our first baby into a nursery was a scary and nerve wracking experience especially when we were not allowed to step foot into a nursery to have a look during lockdown but we trusted the videos and reviews, now I couldn’t be happier that we picked Little Trees Day Nursery Celtic Springs! I love
the family app to get updates throughout the day and all the staff are lovely but some individuals definitely stand out above others. I feel like they are always trying to improve and go above and beyond to be the best nursery in the area, which I truly believe they are. I would highly recommend it to anyone!

A corporate-owned nursery with a very corporate feel. Staff are inexperienced and do not always have the child’s best interest at heart. Activities are very limited and staff are not proactive what so ever. Very cold and impersonal feel to the place.

Teddies have been fantastic with our girls. My eldest has been attending the last 18 months and my youngest almost a year. They both look forward to nursery and have a great bond with the key workers looking after them. The lay out is spacious with lots of activities and they always enjoy their meals
too. With the use of the app, communication is so quick and easy. Really can’t fault the nursery. My daughter will be upset when she leaves to go to school in September! Thank you Teddies!

I can't compare to other settings but for us, this is an amazing nursery. Friendly staff, great with kids. Going above and beyond the standard of care (like preparing different food for a child that does not want to eat a standard meal). My son loves going in. An extra thank you for your work during
lockdown.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.963)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.963) out of 10 for Little Trees Day Nursery Celtic Springs is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.963 for Little Trees Day Nursery Celtic Springs is calculated as follows: ( (290 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.963
  2. 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 Trees Day Nursery Celtic Springs is based on 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 115 number of registered child places is 23, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
