Our daughter currently attends Little Oaks Day Nursery and she absolutely loves it. The staff are fantastic, as are the facilities on offer and the care provided. They provide an APP with day to day updates on what the children have been eating and what activities they have been doing that day which
is just fab! I would highly recommend Little Oaks Day Nursery.

I definitely recommend Little Oaks Day Nursery. My children really enjoy their time there. My eldest started when he was 11 months old and is currently in pre school and my 9 month old twins recently started. There is a wide range of activities for them to enjoy and learn. All the staff are positive
and friendly and I know they are well looked after.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter is currently at Little Oaks Day Nursery and loves it! She has come on leaps and bounds since starting at eleven months. The staff are very caring, friendly, nurturing and my daughter always has a special bond with her key worker. The nursery has a newly refurbished garden and my daughter
is very much an outside child so she is thrilled that they have extensive outside play and learning. I would highly recommend Little Oaks Day Nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Little Oaks is a fantastic nursery, we have been with them for the past 4 years and have never had any issues. The staff are fantastic, they treat each child like their own and offer a range of activities daily for the children to participate in. My son's confidence and social skills have really improved
since being there, he's made lots of friends and enjoys all the different activities. The nursery have an app that parents can view throughout the day, updating you on how they're getting on and including photos. I love it as I can see how happy my son is there. All the meals are freshly made on-site and it's a great way for them to try new foods.
I highly recommend it, my daughter also attended and the staff in preschool did a fantastic job of getting her ready for starting school. I can't recommend Little Oaks highly enough.

My son has been going to Little Oaks Day Nursery since he was eleven months old and I’ve always felt at ease leaving him there. He has come on leaps and bounds through attending the nursery and I would definitely recommend the nursery to any parent who is seeking childcare. They provide different activities
each week and it’s lovely to see this via the app each week.

We absolutely love little Oaks Nursery, we have three and a half-year-old and 11-month-old girls who are both coming on in leaps and bounds. The children are exposed to so many activities from baking, arts and crafts, garden play, music to name a few. The staff are amazing and really get to know the
children and parents as a whole to enable them to provide the best care. Highly recommend to anyone looking for childcare.

My son has been attending Little Oaks Day Nursery for the last 2 years and he has had the most magical experiences during this time, outstanding care and provision along with fabulous activities and learning experiences. They provided me with such great reassurance as a parent who was very nervous about
leaving my child. He has become so confident and learnt essential skills to set him up for future experiences. I would highly recommend to any parent who is looking for outstanding care and learning for their children.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.771)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.771) out of 10 for Little Oaks Day Nursery 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 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 4.938 for Little Oaks Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (181 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.938
  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 4.833 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Oaks Day Nursery is based on 16 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.833
  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.
