A great nursery with great staff, who are more than happy to spend time discussing our child and what they have been up to during the day. The activities are varied and include a range of indoor and outdoor play. Our daughter is extremely happy there and our son starts at the end of February!

My only niggle really is that I don't know the names of the girls looking after my son, would benefit I think from them all wearing name badges.
Maybe a review of the child's progress perhaps twice a year instead of yearly.
Reply from Charlene Burgess, Nursery Manager at Little Trees Day Nursery Celtic Springs
Name badges for staff has recently been introduced to help make it easier for parents to remember everyone's names. We also have a staff member board outside the main office with photographs.

This is a fantastic place for children to learn and develop life skills. My daughter has attended for the last 3 years and loves it. The staff are amazing and so lovely with the children. The food is always different and allows them to try different food they may not try and eat at home. My daughter
the other day came home telling me all about Chinese New Year and had made a lantern. All in all this nursery is wonderful and can't fault a thing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When I was first shown around the nursery I was extremely impressed with the amount of space the children have, compared to other nurseries where children are cramped into small rooms. The staff are extremely friendly and give great up dates at the end of the day along with greeting the children lovely
in the morning. I will say just one minor issue is I would like to be informed of my child's key person and introduced properly. Due to my son having convulsions I was also relieved to see the nursery has CCTV so I can log on during the day and see how he is doing and put my mind at rest. I am very happy with his development and learning and have great pleasure in hearing what they have been up to every day!!

Lovely nursery, lots of exciting activities for the children with a topical theme. All staff are very caring to my son. He enjoys going to nursery and there's always a very varied menu for meal times. Very convenient location and opening hours. Would definitely use this nursery if we had another child.

Review from Daria (Mother of Child) published on 1 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has been coming to the nursery for almost 2 years and although he cries in the morning when leaving him, during the day he then loves it and sometimes he doesn't want to come home! All the staff, starting from the baby room upstairs, the little bears and now the big bears, is fantastic and
they do a great job. My older daughter used to come here 10 years ago when the nursery was just opened and when it was time for us to choose a nursery for the little one, we didn't have any doubt in coming back here.
The food is very good, my child loves it, the other day he even told me that he prefers the school lasagna to mine!
The only concern I have is with the outside car park, as especially during winter the lack of lights makes it very dark when collecting the children in the evening.

I love Teddies Nursery but my daughter loves it more! The staff are fantastic with her and I have total peace of mind that she's having a lovely day with her friends whilst I'm at work. They offer her lovely healthy food and if she turns her nose up at anything they always give her an alternative making
sure she's eating well. This was a big issue for me with my son's nursery (he'd often go all day without proper food) so it was something I really looked out for when I chose Teddies to look after my daughter.

We are delighted with the high level of care our son is receiving at the nursery. He has been going for 5 months and the progress he has made socially has been fantastic to witness. He is learning and absorbing a tremendous amount. The nursery provides a really caring environment asking how he is every
day and giving me a complete run through of his day. I am very happy and confident leaving him here as I know he is safe and cared for.

Great Nursery - Highly Recommended. This is our 2nd child to attend. Our first child LOVED it there for 4 years. Lovely staff and well managed. Would encourage you to send your child here as he or she will be extremely well cared for.

I have used this nursery for my son and now for my daughter. I have been delighted by the professionalism and caring nature of all of the staff at the Newport "Teddies" Nursery and the admin staff at their headquarters.
My son has a serious cardiac condition and they handled this very professionally
and I was able to teach the staff about his condition and any additional care that was needed. This was always accepted and the additional care was provided without any issues.
On drop off the staff ask how the child has been and anything they may need to know for that day and on collection they provide a great amount of detail about how the child has been during that day, what they have eaten, what they have done and how they have behaved.
I also found that when my son then went to school he was in an advanced position with his reading, writing and concentration, thanks in large to the nursery.

My daughter moved to this nursery from another when she turned 3. I wish I'd have discovered Celtic Springs Nursery long before as she loves it there. She's excited to go in everyday and has come on leaps and bounds since starting here. The staff are very welcoming, friendly and clearly love what they
do there.

Since joining Teddies Nursery our son has developed in so many ways, he is developing into a bright, independent and sociable little boy and we put much of this down to the care and attention he has received at the nursery. Our son is always looking forward to attending nursery in the morning, which
is a great feeling for myself who has to go off to work and leave him. We would definitely recommend Teddies Nursery.

Certainly fulfilled my expectations of a nursery. Can't rate them higher enough. My Little one loves it here and has come in leaps and bounds. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. Wish I found this nursery earlier on but certainly more than happy to leave my best man with them.

We have had a great experience with this nursery! My little girl took a long time to settle, but staff never gave up and took the time and care (& lots of cuddles!) she needed to help her transition when I went back to work. She now absolutely loves it and she can't get there quick enough!
They are
great at giving a review in little books at the end of each day of what they've been up to, which really helps us to continue what they've been learning at home, or just helps us to ask her about her day! They have great facilities, and have really thought through the layout of the rooms for the children to maximise their enjoyment, safety and forward thinking to transitions to next stages.

My daughter has attended Teddies Nursery since September 2013. During this time, she has been and continues to be loved, cared for, stimulated and educated. There has not been any occasion that I have felt doubt about leaving her in their care. I believe this is an excellent nursery, providing a
high standard of care for our children. Anybody looking for a nursery need look no further.

To be able to leave my most precious possession in the safe and caring hands of such a good team of people is the most comforting feeling for a parent. My daughter has been here for a year, I am taking her out of nursery with a heavy heart because we are moving. She is really going to miss all her wonderful
caretakers and beautiful friends. She runs in every morning, much of the time forgetting to say goodbye. The settle in, security, daily activities, food menu are excellent. I feel comfortable approaching the staff members and the nursery manager about my child.

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.
