Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending little trees Lansdown since he was two. We love the personalised care of the children and I completely trust them with what I love most in the world.
He has grown and developed with them and will be going to school next year.
The communication is great and we have a daily
insight of their activities, food etc with the app as well as regular meetings to check development.
Also, I couldn't have done without the extended hours, starting early.
The price is high but it's a great place and I'd happily recommend it.

We've had a truly positive experience with the nursery. From the very beginning, the staff have been warm, welcoming and really caring. It's absolutely clear that they are passionate about working with children and creating a safe, nurturing environment. The facilities are clean and well-organised,
the calling in and out, especially with one parent to come in is a thoughtful and well designed security measures which gives me a great level of confidence. There's a great balance of structured activities and free play which has really helped build our child's confidence and development. Communication has been superb and most importantly, our child loves it there. Kudos everyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All the staff, those who look after the children directly and those that work in the office are all lovely and happy to have a conversation at anytime to discuss your child, their needs, any concerns you may have and to take on board any feedback. They are especially great during the initial settling
in phase. They seem to offer plenty of on-site activities, including those provided by external suppliers (for an extra fee) as they get older. It would be nice to see more off-site activites as the children get older. Although I understand this is probably not an easy feat. They have a wonderful outdoor space and it's been good to see them invest in this over the years. It's great the older children seem to get out most days but it'd be good if the babies could be taken out more frequently, although again, I appreciate this is much more difficult when they're less mobile and are all on different schedules. Ultimately a great nursery where my children excel and are happy, with caring staff

Review from L H (Mother of Child) published on 23 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We've had a really positive experience for both our kids at Little Trees - one currently in Babies and one in Preschool. The staff are lovely and clearly dedicated to the children they look after. We feel like they know our kids really well and can respond to them as individuals, be it in relation to
their learning needs, or supporting them emotionally.
The activities are fun and stimulating, and the extra curricular classes on offer are a nice extra.
The building itself is old and could definitely do with a bit of smartening up, but actually, I don't think this affects the kids at all - if they go in happy, that's what matters. The outdoor space is absolutely fantastic and they really make the most of any opportunity to get outside, which is something we love about the nursery - it's a huge bonus having so much space for them to run around, climb and explore in.
Overall, we would definitely recommend Little Trees Lansdown to anyone thinking about placing their child there

My daughter attends Little Trees Lansdown and we could not be happier.
She has been there for just over two years and she's had such a great experience in all of the departments.
Communication is great and we feel like they truly care about her development and wellbeing.

Review from Kate I (Mother of Child) published on 23 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Little Trees is fantastic, my little girl has been here for just over 2 years now, has been through 3 or 4 room changes and every single time the staff have been brilliant. They all know her really well, she trusts them and knows where to go if there are any issues. There of course are 'incidents' but
these aren't down to lack of caring and are always followed up and we're well informed. They offer extra activities like Football, Phonics and dance and my little girl is so excited every day when we talk about her day. The rooms are large and clean, the garden where they spend as much time as possible is lovely and safe, the carpark can get busy but that's just down to timings of people leaving work. We love being invited to the events like Mothers Day breakfast, Stay and Plays etc. its really lovely to see the interactions in person. Parents evenings are helpful which you don't get elsewhere. The menu is great too - I quite often wish I could pop in for lunch!

My son loves going to Little Trees! They always do a variety of activities and lots of crafts! My son learns a lot at nursery including social skills, counting, songs and dancing! The nursery also offers many optional extra-curricular activities. They spend lots of time in the big garden during the
summer! Staff seem to genuinely enjoy their work and love caring for the kids. The nursery is very good at keeping parents/carers updated with their child's daily activities and development through their app. Thanks, Little Trees!

Great setting. Inclusive, supporting & friendly staff. Helped my daughter adapt to her new hours well. Communication is always good with regular updates and photos daily. My daughter loves spending time outside in the garden & crafts. Her speech has come on a long way, she loves stories &

We have been really happy with our experience of the nursery so far. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel that your little one is safe and cared for and loved and they are all wonderfully happy and friendly. They nursery seems to share our values of bringing up our little one prompting curiosity

Incredibly friendly staff who really care and make an effort to get to know you. My son always has a smile on his face when we arrive in the car park and is always greeted enthusiastically. The food is varied and changes to suit any occasion e.g lunar new year. The facilities are great and seem well
maintained. The garden is fantastic. Overall this is the best nursery for us with 10 out of 10 staff.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.873)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.873) out of 10 for Little Trees Day Nursery Lansdown 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 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.873 for Little Trees Day Nursery Lansdown is calculated as follows: ( (356 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 408 Ratings = 4.873
  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 Lansdown is based on 34 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 93 number of registered child places is 18.6, which has been reached with 34 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.
