We love this nursery and have both children here. They are always supportive and our children enjoy it. We love the big outdoor space and the children spend a lot of time outdoors. I would recommend it here.

Both children are very happy and seem to enjoy their days at nursery. I'm very happy with the amount and breadth of activities offered and the outdoor space is brilliant.
It feels like they're learning huge amounts every day

My daughter is happy at the nursery and her development has been aided by the activities and support provided by thr staff. The nursery provides a lot of additional activities to support phonics and sports. It's a shame these are not included in the overall nursery costs as part of the curriculum.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our time at the nursery has been exceptional. In just a few months, our son, who just turned one, has blossomed, from mastering crawling on his first day to confidently taking his first steps. The bond he shares with his key worker is heartwarming, whilst he's happy to see us at pick-up, he never really
wants to leave! She is completely brilliant. The nursery accommodates his dietary needs perfectly and has supported him through cleft palate surgery recovery by working with his speech therapy book. It's a vibrant, welcoming environment with friendly staff, all of whom engage with our son daily. The facilities are spacious, activities creative, and they celebrate occasions enthusiastically. We love that the fun and key moments are captured in photos and videos and shared on the app. The weekly development updates, with reference to the curriculum, is brillant, as was parents' evening. Overall, the nursery has surpassed our expectations, and we're thrilled with our son's experience here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been very happy here over the last 3 years and jumps for joy on a nursery day. The children are often outside in the garden/forest areas. The menu is balanced and nutritious and a lot of effort goes into planning activities, display boards, crafts and annual celebration events. We are updated
with a summary/photos on a daily basis giving us great peace of mind. The children are being prepared well for school and I am pleased there are educational elements to the day (eg. teaching counting, days of the week, the alphabet) and extra-curricular activities (eg. football, phonics). The preschool staff are brilliant and care for and know my little boy very well. One staff member in particular is the heart of the nursery and is adored by the children. There has been a good level of staff consistency in recent times enabling my son to form some lovely bonds. I appreciate the approach with behaviour and manners which my son hugely benefits from! He has made lots of friends and is really thriving here.

Our daughter goes to the nursery full time and has built her confidence and skills up massively since beginning the nursery. The staff work so well with the parents and take on board what's going on at home so that both at nursery and at home is consistent.
The staff have been great at engaging our
daughter.

Interaction with children is good, there has been an issue with the door to explorers being left unlocked, which is not good and has been reported. The outside area is good for the children, which our daughters enjoyed.
Reply from Karen Green, Regional Manager at Little Trees Day Nursery Lansdown
Thank you for your review. We are aware of the issue with the door, which has been reliant on parents alerting us when they are leaving, so the door can be secured from the inside. We have a locksmith…read more

Little Trees Lansdown is a welcoming and positive environment for children, my child has settled really well and has made good relationships with the staff. I am frequently being updated on his learning and development through observations and assessments. Communication is great and I will always get
a handover on how my child has been each day from sleep, food and nappy changes.
Management are great, supportive towards transitioning into nursery life and have excellent communication, not to mention friendly and welcoming.
Overall a fantastic welcoming setting. We couldn’t be happier to see our little one thriving while here.

This is an outstanding nursery! Handovers are very easy and prompt. I feel comfortable leaving my child at the nursery and have no complaints about anything. You get a real feeling of love and care for your child from all of them as he does for them, you can see the lovely relationships he has with
the individual team members. The setting is perfect and homely. The staff and management are very friendly and supportive of any problems you may have.

Review from Katie W (Mother of Child) published on 4 December 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Sending your little one to a nursery is a very daunting experience, especially as a first-time mum. I had looked around several nurseries and none of them stood out as much as Little Trees Lansdown. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome and smile from the staff. A member of staff
showed us around the rooms and the facilities and both children and staff were happy. This was huge for me. I wanted my daughter to go from a loving home to a loving environment that would care for her and help her develop and grow. The space at the nursery was great, both indoor and outdoor. It was a no-brainer for us as a family. Since starting in September 2023, the team have helped her settle and her confidence is growing daily. The staff keep you informed of her day and are always so positive and bubbly when we see them at pick up and drop off. The manager and her team have a fantastic setup here at Lansdown and I can say nothing but praise and thanks for our experience. Thank you.

My daughter has been going to Little Trees for a month, and they’ve been absolutely brilliant.
They’ve been amazing at settling her in, keeping us updated, and working with us to make her start more smooth.
She also has dietary requirements, which Little Trees have dealt with really well, giving her
a safe version of the same food the other children are eating.
Really can’t fault our experience so far, and very glad with our choice of nursery!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We have been at this nursery for a number of years now just one child remaining there. It is a busy nursery but we have always found them very supportive flexible and focused on learning and improving. One child has additional challenges and particularly one department handled this very well it’s been
a bit of a challenge ensuring the next department delivered the same. They were very receptive to feedback and open to collaborative working and changing.
Our children have loved going which is always such a big positive. All staff friendly and positive and really family atmosphere. Also extra mention to the chef and catering team.

My daughter joined the nursery last summer. It was hard leaving her at first but the staff has made all the difference as she adores her key workers.
She has settled quite well and she has also developed new skills as there are always activities planned.
I think she is more confident around other
people.
I believe that my daughter is in the best hands.

The most important aspect for me is the team genuinely care for the children and my daughter walks in happy every day to a hug from her room leader. She has access to great classes like football and phonics and eats a varied diet.
It would be great if the facilities outside could be given a refresh
to come up to the standard of the other nurseries in the organisation.

My children have been attending Little Trees Day Nursery Lansdown since 2019 and we are very happy with our experience here. They have both developed really well, with my son being very well prepared for starting school in 2021 and my daughter well on her way in the last few months of preschool. We
particularly love the outdoor space.

We have been using Little Trees since 2016 and have always been satisfied with the level of care both of our children have had. Staff build a great rapport with the kids and always have fun activities for them to do and plenty of outside time. We also had a good experience with adaptations and adjustments
for settling with our SEN child.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.792)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.792) 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 4.8 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.792 for Little Trees Day Nursery Lansdown is calculated as follows: ( (318 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 384 Ratings = 4.792
  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 31 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 93 number of registered child places is 18.6, which has been reached with 31 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.
