Excellent nursery would definitely recommend to anyone that is looking to place their child into a nursery. My 2 children love going here, they love all the activities they do and connected with the staff really well. My 2 have grown so much being at this nursery and I couldn’t thank Kirsty's Little
Treasures enough for all the support and everything they do for my children.

The whole team are incredibly welcoming and supportive. I was worried that my little girl would find starting nursery tricky after the first lockdown but she loves it and this is because of how lovely the staff are.

Staff are friendly and genuine, our little boy enjoys going to nursery and always comes home talking about the staff in his room. Very helpful during settle-in sessions, even during COVID, and now very accommodating to our son's food intolerances. Management are helpful and flexible when changing his
hours. Highly recommend!

My little one has been attending since he was 1 year old and has transitioned through the setting with ease. The team are great and management are always on the end of a phone for you to speak to. Covid has thrown a lot of curveballs at these types of settings but I feel that the team have handled these
really well and as a parent, I have felt informed of any changes. Would highly recommend and have already done so to friends. Keep up the good work guys!

I have been sending my children to this nursery. My eldest is now nearly 7, the staff are absolutely amazing. They are caring and kind to the children as to be expected but always caring and making sure you are ok too! If you need to speak to them they are very easily approachable, I’ve also found that
the activities for the children within the setting are so good and very interesting! I cannot fault this nursery and the staff at all!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter was born just before lockdown, she hadn’t been anywhere or seen anyone for months when she started at Kirsty's Little Treasures. The staff were so flexible, allowing us to have more settling-in sessions to ensure she was settled before we left her for real! The staff can’t do enough to help
and the nursery itself is lovely, full of fabulous toys and lots of activities and outdoor space. A few months on my daughter is so settled, excited to see the staff every week. Not only have her social skills developed but so has her speech, she particularly loves to sing at nursery. She has started to eat lots of varied meals and always cleans the plate! We are always well informed by the nursery when we pick her up and I couldn’t recommend Kirsty's Little Treasures highly enough. Thank you especially to my daughter's key worker, you are fantastic, she loves you and you do a wonderful job. We looked at a couple of other nurseries before deciding on Kirsty's Little Treasures but its family-friendly feel made it the one for us!

The team at Kirsty's are truly amazing, we couldn't rate the nursery any higher. Our little boy loves going to nursery and is always developing new skills, making new friends, and being involved in lots of fun activities. There is a real mix of play and learning, both indoors and outdoors with a fab
forest school and soft play adventure cove. The team are forever investing in the facilities and hosting themed days for further learning and fun. We are kept up to date through regular progress reports as well as daily chats with the team who are always keen to work with parents at any stage to help each child to grow and develop at their own pace. As parents, we are kept up to date with opportunities and changes in the nursery and invited to have our say. Menus are healthy and it is also great to know sleep and reading/relaxing time are also prioritised. Thank you to everyone at Kirsty's Little Treasures, it's so wonderful knowing each day that our little boy is having so much fun and growing in confidence!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a first time parent, I decided to choose my daughter's nursery based almost completely on recommendations. Two friends had sent their daughters to Kirsty's, and rated it highly, and upon visiting for a tour and meeting the staff I was quickly convinced that this was the right nursery to look after
my child. I am always very happy with the level of care given to my child, with staff being very friendly and lovely with her, as well as having lots of time for me at handovers. She eats well, clearly engages with a wide range of activities which I love to see on their Facebook group and most importantly my child comes home happy (and suitably tired!) after her days at Kirsty's Little Treasure's. The owner and the team are really flexible with getting her in for extra days here and there, which is so helpful. And throughout the pandemic, I've felt that everything has been put in place to keep the children safe and I have been really pleased with their levels of communication. I would highly recommend Kirsty's Little Treasure's.

I had a gut feeling when I went to view Kirsty's Little Treasures and so glad I followed it, I was so nervous leaving my daughter and returning to work but the team put me at complete ease. The staff are amazing and friendly and my daughter loves them all too and calls them her friends which they are.
A year and a half down the line and I can see how much my daughter has come on, she loves it and all the activities she does. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful. The facilities are brilliant.

My daughter started Kirsty's Little Treasures around March - staff showed us around the nursery before she started, and we were so happy with the setup and it even has a soft play which is a bonus. My daughter settled in so well, and her key worker is great. Unfortunately, I had to take her out as I
lost my job due to COVID. I was really impressed by how understanding they were with this and they have kept the door open for us for when I finally get back on my feet and require childcare, which will hopefully be soon as my daughter really thrived here. A great nursery and I cannot recommend it enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little girl started Kirsty's Little Treasures in September and she absolutely loves it. She has settled in so incredibly well and I think the staff have been amazing with her. All staff makes an effort to get to know all babies and children even though they don’t necessarily work in that particular
area. My daughter always recognises staff from Kirsty's Little Treasures and is always greeted with a friendly hello by everyone. I can leave my daughter and go to work without any worries whatsoever, as I know that she’s being cared for by the best staff. I love that she does so much at nursery. The variety of activities that they do is brilliant. It’s so reassuring that she’s being stimulated and do lots of fun things during the day. I really feel that in the short amount of time that my daughter has been at Kirsty's Little Treasures, her key workers know her really well. Having toured around Kirsty's Little Treasures during my initial visit, I feel that they have incredible resources compared to some nurseries I’ve seen. I’m so glad I chose Kirsty's Little Treasures for my daughter.

My daughter is now 11, and she went here when she was little. Now my 8-month-old daughter goes there. This is the only nursery I would send my children to, the same staff as to when my 11-year-old was there. Friendly, helpful, reassuring, I would only recommend this nursery.
I feel 100% confident when
I leave her here. I pack my daughters own food, bottles but lunches are available.

Kirsty's Little Treasures is a fantastic nursery. I have sent both of my children, on initial recommendation from a family friend and never looked back. Always delivering the highest level of care and compassion for my children at all times. All members of staff involved in the care of my children throughout
the past 6 years have been brilliant. Each time I have dropped my children off I have felt completely happy and satisfied that they will be well cared for and safe. The management team are excellent, professional and flexible. They always go out of their way to make sure all of your needs are met and concerns are listened to. Thank you to Kirsty's Little Treasures - an amazing nursery that I am so happy I found.

Kirsty's Little Treasures have been outstanding with our daughter since the very first visit. They did everything possible to make me and my daughter feel relaxed and happy on those first few days when she was just a baby! Now she’s four and thriving at nursery. She always looks forward to going in
each day and we are well informed of what she’s been doing, what she’s eaten and her progress. Friendly, professional staff, and a family business. Can not recommend it highly enough.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kirsty's Little Treasures to anyone; they've been fantastic since our little boy started earlier this year at 14-months-old. The communication and support received during those first few sessions were outstanding and very appreciated by this 1st-time mum! This has obviously
continued throughout, and to say our son loves to go to Kirsty's Little Treasures is an understatement! The care the staff show the children is so genuine, we feel very lucky to have found such a great environment for our little one to develop and thrive in.
The continual development of new facilities within the site proves the management is forward-thinking and always looking to improve. I think you can tell we're happy!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.974)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.974) out of 10 for Kirsty's Little Treasures - Shenstone is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.974 for Kirsty's Little Treasures - Shenstone is calculated as follows: ( (222 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.974
  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 Kirsty's Little Treasures - Shenstone is based on 19 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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2, which has been reached with 19 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.
