About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 38 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 38 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 30 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

The activities are excellent, and overall care is fantastic.
The only drawback is the food. It is quite basic, and given that we pay a £17.70 daily top-up for food on fully funded days, we feel the food could be considerably better. We are particularly disappointed that the afternoon snack and 4.30pm tea have been replaced with just a 3.30pm tea. We understand this may help with staff handovers, but our children need a full meal when they come home which is at odds to other nurseries in the area. The average daily top up charge for food in the Stroud area is between £5-10 so we pay significantly more.
Overall, though, we are very happy with the nursery and, most importantly, our children genuinely love going. The staff are fantastic and we feel they are in the best hands.

Thank you for your review. I am delighted to hear that your children love attending Little Trees Inchbrook. Your kind comments about the team mean a great deal as they work incredibly hard to provide a warm, nurturing and engaging environment for all children. I also acknowledge your feedback regarding food provision, meal times and costs. The move from a 4.00pm tea to a more substantial 3.30pm meal was carefully considered to support children's wellbeing, ensuring the team can sit with and supervise children throughout mealtimes while promoting positive eating experiences. The previous afternoon snack and tea were combined into one larger meal rather than reducing the amount of food offered. Thank you for sharing your views regarding menu quality and value for money, particularly as charges vary between settings. Your comments will be shared with the wider organisation as part of ongoing reviews. Thank you taking the time to share your positive experiences and areas for consideration.

Thank you so much for your review. I am delighted to hear that your daughter enjoys her time at Little Trees Inchbrook and that you have seen such positive progress in her development. It is wonderful to hear that you feel confident in your choice of childcare during such an important stage in both your child's life and your own. We completely understand the trust families place in us when leaving their little ones in our care. Your kind comments about the team will mean a great deal to them, as they work incredibly hard to ensure every child feels happy, secure and supported throughout their time with us. Thank you for your recommendation and for placing your trust in us.

Our daughter has just joined Littletrees but it's safe to say we are so happy with the nursery as a whole. Every single member of staff have been incredible and made us all feel so welcome as a family. There is such a nice and happy feeling when you walk into the nursery and that's why we were so keen for our daughter to go there. It has been a daunting thought of starting nursery but even at just 9 months old our daughter is very happy there and has so much fun. We feel very well supported on her development and trust each member of staff to look after her. We are very well informed of how the day is gone and the app is very useful.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. It is wonderful to hear the start of your journey with us has been a positive experience for you all. We pride ourselves on that 'happy feeling when you walk in', so it is very rewarding for the team to hear such lovely comments. We look forward to many more years creating, exploring and learning with your little one.

The staff are always very attentive and describe well what my child has done throughout the day, they take our requests seriously and document what they have done with my child through the week. They are very happy to go to nursery and the staff always get back to any questions we have quickly and help our child to learn lots of new information through sign language and their learning has developed extremely quickly whilst they've been at little trees.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. I am pleased to hear that your experience with us has been such a positive one and that you enjoy receiving updates about your little one's experiences through our feedback, observations, and ongoing communication
He was...
He was really welcomed in to his class from the start and had so many good memories there and made some lovely friends.
The staff were amazing and on pick up we always got the most detailed feedback. I also loved the way they spoke to every child; like they were the most important person in the room. All the nursery staff made every day so much fun and taught the children so many important life skills.
We will always be forever grateful and long may Little Trees continue to flourish!
Thank you for your wonderful review. I love that you felt your son was the most important person in the room; he, along with all the other children, are of course just that. We are so glad that your journey with us was an enjoyable one and that your son has skipped off into his next chapter with happy memories and new friends.
We have used Little Trees Nursery for years now. The staff are fantastic. The loving care and expertise they offer is second to none. We have every confidence that our children are well cared for. Our children love going to nursery and have excellent relationships with the staff.

Our son has attended Polly's/ Little Trees for 3 years, throughout his time at nursery he has experienced every room and engaged with most of the teachers. He started as a nervous and sensitive child, which Polly's have supported throughout. All the teachers know our son - not only by name but also his interests. Our son absolutely loves coming in and even between room and teacher transitions - which he finds very challenging at home - he has quickly adapted due to the support and structure. The activities are well thought out and structured, as well as the teachers having the knowledge and confidence to adapt to children's interests.
Thank you for your thoughtful review, we appreciate your kind feedback. It has been a pleasure to support your son during his time with us, and we have thoroughly enjoyed watching his confidence grow and flourish.
Fantastic nursery setting. My son has been with Little Trees (Originally Pollys) since he was 10 months old and settled well into each room. He is now is preschool and seems to be enjoying his days there. The staff are very knowledgeable, capable, and kind taking care to get to know each child...
Fantastic nursery setting. My son has been with Little Trees (Originally Pollys) since he was 10 months old and settled well into each room. He is now is preschool and seems to be enjoying his days there. The staff are very knowledgeable, capable, and kind taking care to get to know each child individually.

Both we and our children love the nursery. The staff are excellent: enthusiastic, caring, professional and highly knowledgeable about early years learning and childcare. We are always amazed at how many activities are packed into a day, and how well planned, creative and tailored to the children they are. Communication is handled well with a monthly email, and any issues (e.g. with invoices) are resolved quickly and helpfully. Although outdoor space is limited the children spend a lot of time outside all year and there is loads for them to do out there. We get detailed, useful feedback at the end of each day and the teachers always flag if they have noticed any health or other issues. One downside is that parking is tricky and can take a while waiting for a space/leaving at busy times.
Thank you for your kind review. Your feedback is appreciated by myself and the team and we look forward to many more fun learning opportunities to share with you.

We couldn't be happier with Little Trees nursery. Our son has been there for two years now and we have always felt he is in the best place possible. All of the team are exceptional and are so caring in such a genuine way. Our son has always been so happy there and is excited to tell us about all of the fun things he has done that day. The play is varied, child focused, fun and meaningful / educational. One thing that stands out in particular was how much they helped our son progress in potty training. Not only that but his key person was so excited and proud of him when he had his first day with no accidents - you could see how genuinely she cared for him. Alongside this he received special certificates and a chance to take a cuddly toy home - just little touches but they meant a lot to him and to us. We are so grateful to Little Trees for all they have done for us for the past few years (and many more to come!).
Thank you for taking the time to write a lovely, personal review. Working in partnership with parents is such an important connection for us, I am pleased to hear both yours and your little ones experience was a positive one.
What can I say except that this place is brilliant. I trust the staff with my girls lives, well-being and learning and they deliver every single day. The staff are just phenomenal- huge shout outs to the preschool room and the baby room. They are somewhere between carers, teachers, best friends,...
What can I say except that this place is brilliant. I trust the staff with my girls lives, well-being and learning and they deliver every single day. The staff are just phenomenal- huge shout outs to the preschool room and the baby room. They are somewhere between carers, teachers, best friends, and super heroes. I cannot express what having Little Trees Inchbrook as our little ones care provider has meant to us. It's tough as working parents to hand over your precious people but I do it at little trees in the knowledge that not only will they be taken care of, but they will be developed and self actualised. The standards of learning and care are unmatched in this area. There aren't enough superlatives for this place - it's amazing, awesome, incredible and we are so lucky to have them
Thank you for taking the time to share such a lovely review. The Inchbrook team are passionate about their roles, and it's great to read that this passion is felt by our families every day.

This is such a lovely nursery. Both our daughters have been so well cared for. The staff are excellent and they make an effort to only employ good quality people. With the conversion to Little Trees we can see there has been more opportunity for staff training which I'm sure will benefit the children. They get to do plenty of messy play and the soft play has always been a favourite. Although the outdoor space is small, each room has its own area and the children are outside every day.
Thank you for your lovely review. I am pleased to hear you have felt the conversion to Little Trees from Polly's has been beneficial for both the staff and the children. I will pass your feedback to the Dean Close Foundation.
