Les Enfants Day Nursery is run by a team of dedicated and experienced childcare professionals who take pride in delivering a high standard of care and early years education in a homely, fun and stimulating environment.
Situated in a large converted Victorian building, the nursery has been carefully designed to meet the needs of each specific age group; babies, tweenies, toddlers and pre-school. Staff work closely with parents and hold regular meetings to ensure each child learns and develops at an individual pace.
The Babies unit (6-13 months) provides a warm and nurturing atmosphere where children are encouraged to develop their senses and skills through a range of experiences and activities. Individual routines are followed allowing each child to feel safe and happy.
The Tweenies (13-26 months) & Toddlers (2-3 years) units both offer a range of fun and stimulating, play and educational activities encouraging each child to explore and develop in a positive and happy environment.
The Pre-School unit (3-5 years) is the largest in the nursery and provides an excellent range of facilities including a large outdoor space with a sensory garden, vegetable patch, all-weather play surface and adventure playground. Children can participate in the many activities and classes available.
Les Enfants strongly promotes healthy eating, and the onsite catering team is committed to providing a varied menu of healthy well-balanced meals with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.

The Review Score of 9.4 (maximum of 10) for Les Enfants Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Les Enfants Day Nursery in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Day Nursery / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Day Nursery receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.743 for Les Enfants Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 187 Ratings = 4.743
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Day Nursery to friends and family?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Les Enfants Day Nursery is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 24 positive Reviews (120 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 15 Reviews ÷ 24 Target = 0.625
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Les Enfants Day Nursery has a Review Score of 9.4 (9.368)

I love this nursery! Amazing cleanliness, superb staff, and a great facility and garden.
I never worry when I leave my daughter there because I know she's being looked after very well.
I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Very happy with Les Enfants. Staff are very professional, welcoming and put the children first. We love the location of the nursery, especially the huge garden and both my children have settled in well with the help of the attentive and friendly staff. Lots of activities planned for the children every day, as well as quiet time and meals are cooked on site and fresh.

We have been so happy with our experience so far. The extended settling in period was so reassuring and it was clear the staff were prioritising forming a bond with our daughter. The atmosphere to my husband and I has been warm, welcoming and supportive. I feel confident asking questions and guidance.
In addition to having great relationships with the children, the staff also seem to enjoy their workplace and it seems like they get on well. It is a nice environment/example for the children. They have also been very flexible in finding solutions for our daughter who has been hard to get to sleep and eat at first.

A fantastic setting with beautiful grounds and passionate staff. Our son has been attending Les Enfants for nine months now and in that time has grown in confidence as well as size.
The staff and team at Les Enfants give a staggered introduction at a pace that worked for both my young son and I.
He is happy and content and regularly opens his arms to the staff when dropped off each morning. As a working Mum, this in itself is everything. To know that I leave my son each day in an environment that he is so happy to be in is priceless. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

I've had two children attend Les Enfants over three years and have always found them to be brilliant with the children. When my daughter struggled to settle the staff went out of their way to find something that worked for her.
My little one always comes home happy and with fun stories of the great activities she's done that day.

I am very happy bringing my daughter to Les Enfants Day Nursery. She has come along with all different skills and interacting with her peers.

We have been very happy with Les Enfants Day Nursery over the past five years. Staff are very friendly and loving and my boys have always enjoyed coming here and very few tears! The boys have always loved the activities such as craft, surprise box, stories and singing. The outside space is fantastic.

My son started at Les Enfants pre-school 2 months ago. The settling in period and transition was very smooth and the nursery went above and beyond to make my son welcome and feel comfortable.
The teachers are always helpful, address any concerns and are professional. My son has experienced many new activities whilst here and is delighted to attend nursery.

I'm so happy with the care that is given to my son at Les Enfants. Both my children have gone to this nursery and they were always very happy.
We've worked together through potty training and other milestones and the relationship with us parents has always been very strong. But most importantly, the relationship between the key workers and my son is very strong. He really loves the people there and has many good friends he plays with daily. We're very happy.

My niece has been attending Les Enfants for 12 months now. Both my partner and I have been hugely impressed by the care and practices at Les Enfants.
My niece talks very fondly of all her teachers and friends and acts this out at home.
She is always happy when we collect for my sister and we can see that she has had lots of fun!
Highly recommended!
