Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Hands down one of the best nurseries around! My 1-year-old daughter settled so quickly at Little Treasures, and that's entirely down to the incredible staff. They are warm, nurturing, and truly attentive to each child. She's absolutely thrived here - they've encouraged her personality to shine and quickly
picked up on her little quirks and interests. I love getting the daily updates and hearing how much joy she brings to them. The nursery itself is brilliant - great facilities, and they get the children out in the fresh air often, including walks that my daughter adores. She barely glances back at drop-off, happily toddling in with open arms. That kind of peace of mind is priceless. Little Treasures is really a truly special place - the team are exceptional at what they do, and I wholeheartedly would recommend them to any parent. I'm so glad I found them!

Our daughter started nursery when she was 10 months old. She is now in the last preschool year. It was difficult to drop off a 10-month-old baby at the doorstep. It was during the time of Covid. We were calmed by seeing how lovely and caring the staff there were. They would go the extra mile to help
the child to settle as well as us as parents. She was just a baby and there were times when she wouldn't want to go home with us. Obviously, she loved it there. She was thriving at every stage and still is. She enjoys playing as well as learning. Her days are filled with activities, art projects, science projects, learning about different cultures, race, religion and history, and also about everyday life, looking after the planet in various ways. Little Treasures is a very nice setup, from the directors to the staff. We are happy with our choice of nursery. We have no hesitation in recommending them.

My son has been at Little Treasures since January 2023 and enjoys going! The staff there are great and I feel it's on a more personal level, my son feels very comfortable around them. His learning and development have been very good, takes me by surprise when I go to pick him up with what he has learnt.
He enjoys the food and is very well-fed for a 3.5-year-old.
He enjoys the activities on a daily basis, including the football sessions that are outsourced to another company (I find this helpful as it's done at the preschool on a weekday)
I am really pleased that I chose Little Treasures for my son, all round happy and would definitely recommend it to other families.

Review from Xiang L (Father of Child) published on 29 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our daughter thoroughly enjoys attending the nursery, which reflects the staff's dedication and genuine care for the children. The team is consistently caring and friendly, creating a welcoming environment. Additionally, the nursery offers a variety of activities that our child truly enjoys. However,
we believe there are areas that could be improved:
1.   Embracing Technology: Currently, we feel a lack of visibility into the activities our child participates in throughout the day. Introducing technology to enhance communication with parents would be highly beneficial. For example, sharing updates and photos of the children's daily activities would help parents stay more connected.
2.   Garden Maintenance: The outdoor area could benefit from some investment, as it appears a bit neglected. Improvements to the garden would enhance the overall environment for the children.
We appreciate the hard work of the staff and look forward to seeing these areas addressed.

My little boy started with Little Treasures in September for 2 sessions a week. The staff have been absolutely amazing and my son has settled straight in and enjoys his time there. Each week I can see there is a range of activities offered and he is being well looked after. We can see the positive impact
the nursery has had on my son and his development and can't wait for him to grow and blossom.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our children have both been at Little Treasures since they were 10 months old, now 14 months and 3 years they have both absolutely thrived since starting. The staff are all so lovely and approachable and know both our children on a personal level! Our daughter is always coming home telling us about
all the fun things she's done and learnt and both bring us home lots of lovely artwork and cakes/treats that they have made! We have also had the opportunity to sign our daughter up for a football session run by an outside provider during one of her days there and again she loves this. Overall a lovely setting and would definitely recommend!

My son started in September 2024, only attending 1 day a week, but all the wonderful staff have been amazing at settling him in!
Couldn't fault the nursery, lovely people and my little man loves it!
My son came over from an awful childminder local to the area, making us very nervous with his new
start. But rest assured the transition was amazing, and I no longer worry at all as I know he's having the best time.

Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds since attending Little Treasures. Every single member of staff has been beyond wonderful and made the effort to interact with the children on such a personal but professional basis.
They make sure to really focus on fun activities and my daughter always comes
home with beautiful artwork and special event cards (Mother's Day, Father's Day, etc). Sending our daughter was a very big step for us be we honestly felt so happy and comfortable with the entire transition. Nothing is ever a bother or an inconvenience when you ask!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been very happy with Little Treasures, my daughter settled in very quickly and the staff were great in supporting her and me through her first few weeks.
They give a report at the end of each day to say what she's been up to, when she's slept and what she's eaten too which is helpful.
I also
really like that all of the staff know my daughter's name, even those who don't work in her room.

The biggest clue for me that my daughter enjoys going to Little Treasures is how she gets very excited when we pull into the car park. Equally, when we're at home at the weekend she often picks up her nursery bag and walks to the door!

All the staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. They have been fantastic in accommodating my child's own routine. My daughter loves attending. There are a wide range of activities taking place at every session.
All the staff know my child personally and targets for development are set and discussed
on a regular basis.
The staff are very patient, enthusiastic and very caring.

Little Treasures has been a fantastic place for our little boy. Staff are without exception friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I love whenever possible the children go outdoors (walk or garden) and they participate in a fantastic range of activities. We always have a happy boy at the end of

Extremely good nursery. My daughter went there so it was the obvious answer to put my son there too when he was born. They are very friendly and helpful, really accommodating and understanding of any need or requirement. I often have to beg my son to come back and give a kiss goodbye as he runs in without
looking back, he loves it! We couldn't have picked a better nursery!

A fantastic nursery where the staff genuinely care about all the children. The little ones learn in such a fun environment. The food is healthy and activities are varied. The staff care about the children individually and support them whenever necessary. The nursery is clean and the children are always

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.520)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.520) out of 10 for Little Treasures Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 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 4.909 for Little Treasures Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (125 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.909
  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 4.611 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Treasures Nursery and Preschool is based on 11 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 90 number of registered child places is 18. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.611
  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.
