Our son has been going to this nursery for about a year now and we couldn’t be happier. The staff is fantastic, they have more than once gone out of their way to care for him and make sure we are up to date with everything that’s happening.
Communication is excellent and the other children and parents,
very welcoming.

Thank you for your kind words of support. We work in partnership with the parents as this is so vital to ensuring your child is safe, secure and happy.

Having just recently moved to the area, we were worried about our child settling into a new school, but the love and care shown by the staff have made the transition seamless. Never before has my son had such individualised attention in a school/daycare setting. We’ve seen him blossom and he’s so happy
to go to school every day. I can’t say enough about his wonderful carers.

Our little girl has been enjoying Little People since she was just 4 months old. Two years on, she has grown into a little character full of energy, happiness and curiosity. The team at Little People really give her the best care and has helped so much in the journey of her personal development - growing
from a little baby to a confident toddler. The team has a good busy schedule to keep the babies engaged, and active and really encourage their creativity development by including lots of art, music and yoga sessions in the week. They also have a good chef and an amazing food menu each week. The team uses an app to notify me what she has eaten and how long she napped etc - which is handy. She has made so many friends there and looks forward to going to the nursery every morning. Every time I drop her off or pick her up she is always happy. I give Little People a 5-star review because I know my little one enjoys going there each day!

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you for your kind words. Every child is special and we at Little People recognise that and aim to give them all the fun and laughter we can throughout the day.

Our 3 year old is incredibly happy at Little People. The staff are so caring and we witness her progress and advancement with things we would not think to teach her at home. The other children and parents are lovely and Little People facilitate gatherings so we meet. Little People have a clear curriculum
and make local and global events and themed days a big deal which adds to the excitement. We love this community.

My son has been at this nursery for more than 2 years, he is very happy there, made lots of friends and learned lots of skills. Teachers work really hard to keep them busy and organise activities to nurture them. Bringing ducklings to the nursery was really a nice touch. My son will go to school fully
prepared.

My son has attended Little People of Fulham for the past 11 months and I couldn’t be happier. The staff are so kind and work incredibly hard; it’s clear to see how much he loves them all. The meals at nursery are excellent and he is very happy going in every single day. My second child is starting there
later this year and I have no doubts that he too will be very happy at Little People of Fulham!

Friendly staff, caring for children. Plenty of activities promoting creativity and hands on work at young age. Limited space for the number of children, so a bit crowded inside. Outdoor activities could be increased if possible.

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you for your review. Space in the nursery is regulated and we do have other rooms such as our IT room and our Fitness Studio which is used throughout the nursery day. Although our outdoor space is limited, we have created different zones for gardening, construction and STEM activities, as well as bikes and scooters and more physical play. Our ballet, gymnastics, Fulham Football coaching, Yoga and swimming lessons are all part of our weekly physical activities, as well as forest school and daily walks to the park and markets in our special prams all ensure the children have lots of physical exercise and fresh air opportunities throughout the day.

Little People are amazing! They take great care of my child everyday and I feel very supported as a parent. I feel the staff go above and beyond with my daughter and make her feel so loved and cared for. She has developed so much with all the activities and learning she gets at Little People and I credit
this to the staff so much. I love how happy and loving the staff are, I really feel they understand my child and are actively interested in her and what she needs to develop and progress. The facilities are great and the outside space is too but I really believe it’s the people who work there that make this place the wonderful nursery that it is. Childcare is scary and expensive but since day one, Little People have eased any concerns or fears I had and have become an integral part of my early parenting life. I’m proud my daughter goes to such a joyful and caring place.

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

How lovely comments, thank you! You are spot on about the staff and their attitudes towards their work. We are so fortunate to have very special people working for us for so many years. One of our mantras at Little People is "Find the Joy " so I am delighted that you recognise this in your child's daily experiences at Little People of Fulham.

My son is always overjoyed to go to nursery and has truly flourished under the teams dedicated care and guidance.

My son has been going to Little People of Fulham Nursery for over a year, and we couldn’t be happier with our nursery choice. From the very beginning, he’s been supported by amazing practitioners that have helped him throughout his transition from a domestic environment to a class full of other babies/and
then children. We are happy with his daily routine, the amount of time he spends outdoors, and all the wonderful and original activities he takes part in while at the nursery! The staff keep him and his class so busy! Also, he still naps after lunch (and does the same when at home during weekends), which helps him recharge after a busy morning! He has a good relationship with food, and the menus at the nursery are variegated and change seasonally. Overall, we are very happy with the nursery and the way the staff take care of him - you can see that the relationships he has are genuine, and the staff truly love their job!

Reply from Jane Gleasure, Owner at Little People of Fulham

Thank you for your very kind words in your review. We are looking forward to lots of lovely special events over the summer months for the children and the parents alike. A well-managed transition from home to nursery is so important for your child's well-being, as are transitions from classroom to classroom. Keeping the children happy is so important to us, and I am thankful that you appreciate the work and the time the staff take during this process.
I will be delighted to share your very kind words with the staff team.

Our 3-year-old son has had a fantastic time at Little People of Fulham. The caring staff, engaging curriculum, and clean, safe facilities have made it the perfect place for him to learn and grow.

Little People of Fulham is a little gem. It’s a warm and welcoming nursery where the children are cared for and nurtured to an exceptional standard. All the practitioners are outstanding with the children and create amazing bonds with their key children. The management make a real effort to keep the
parents up to date with all activities and put on socials and celebrate events which brings staff and parents together. I feel so happy and comfortable that my daughter attends Little People. Her people and social skills has come on leaps and bounds and she is turning into a polite, well mannered, caring and beautiful little girl which I think I have a lot to thank Little People for.

I viewed a small amount of nurseries before Little People of Fulham but as soon as I stepped into the baby room and toured the nursery I knew it would the one for our daughter. Our daughter has been at the nursery for nearly a year and a half and we don't regret the decision one bit. All of the staff
are extremely caring and loving to the children. Our daughter has made great connections with the staff. In terms of general progression we have no concerns at all and she is thriving. She is always singing a new song or talking about her friends and teachers at the nursery.

Our son recently began attending Little People of Fulham, and we are already very impressed with the caring atmosphere and outstanding staff. In line with the saying, "It takes a village" Little People Fulham is a small community promoting happiness, education, and development.

In short, Little People of Fulham has swiftly become our go-to childcare community. We wholeheartedly endorse it for any family seeking a nurturing and supportive setting for their young child.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.923)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.923) out of 10 for Little People of Fulham is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.923 for Little People of Fulham is calculated as follows: ( (266 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 285 Ratings = 4.923

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little People of Fulham is based on 24 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 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
