Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are delighted with the service from Little Strawberries. All the staff, without exception, are kind and attentive with us and our grandson. He really struggled to settle at first and they helped us to work through the difficult months. Now he runs in and shouts "surprise" when he sees them. He absolutely
loves it all. We also want to mention the excellent food he is served. He eats well and has a balanced diet there. Thank you for all you are doing for us as a family.

The nursery nurses are very kind and sweet and always care my son. The group rooms are well equipped and and they are always doing different activities. There is a large garden and open air with safety place.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are fantastic, they are so attentive and caring towards all the children. I love that when I drop my little one off she is always so happy and excited to go and you never see children upset not wanting to go in at drop off which is a huge green flag! I'm always kept up to date with everything
by the app and when picking them up the staff take the time to go through their day with me. I love that they have an on site chef so they have a good home cooked meal with lots of snacks. It's a nursery who are genuinely interested in the children. As a mum who was so nervous about my child starting nursery the staff have put me and my child at ease right from the start. Little Strawberries was the best decision. Keep up the amazing work ladies!

The nursery has supported our LO to thrive in a supportive environment, offering opportunities to learn and devlop skills ready for school. The staff got to know our LO really well and were always able to give an informative update on pick up. We also get updates during the day of what they have been
doing. Any changes have been communicated from management so nothing is a surprise. Staff have always been caring and warm and we've had no concern about the care given to our LO. Would highly recommend this nursery and really sad that our LO will be leaving soon!

Review from M C (Mother of Child) published on 27 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter absolutely loves going to this nursery, and that's the highest praise a parent can give! She always arrives with a big smile and never cries when I drop her off. The staff is wonderful-they're so kind and always have a cheerful smile on their faces. It's a huge relief to know she's in such
good hands.
The opening hours are a perfect fit for working parents like us, which makes our daily routine so much easier. While the meals are good, I do wish there were more healthy, homemade options.
The only issue we've experienced was with the invoicing. On two occasions, the amount was incorrect, and it was difficult to get in touch with the management to resolve it. We ended up paying more than we should have. However, this is a minor issue in comparison to the excellent care my daughter receives.
Overall, I highly recommend this nursery. The staff's dedication and my daughter's happiness make it a truly special place.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at Little Strawberries since she was 9 months old and she is now nearly 4. When my daughter first started she had a milk allergy and the staff were very accommodating to her needs. She has transitioned through all 3 stages within the nursery from babies to toddlers and preschool
and she's had a blast in each one. She is now in preschool and actually asks me if she can go to nursery to be with her friends! All the staff that work here are really nice people. They always keep us up to date on the app of everything that they are doing and they are very approachable. My daughter learns a lot from nursery, she comes home everyday knowing something new and she is thriving. I would very highly recommend this nursery.

Our son attend another nursery prior to Little Strawberries and from the day he joined, he has absolutely loved every second! We sent our daughter from 6 months old and again, she has thrived there since day one! The confidence in both children is fantastic to see.
The members of staff are absolutely
fantastic and are able to support you with any questions or needs you have for your child! They always keep you updated with news on your child, they understand parents have to work and make you feel so comfortable. We trust them thoroughly with our children and highly recommend. We couldn't ask for better carers for our children!

Our boy has been with a nursery for two years now and he is very happy there. Staff is great and outdoor space is brilliant. He definitely has gained more confidence by being there and staff was very helpful with his potty training. Great nursery, where children has been looked after very well.

Both of my children have been going to little strawberries since 9 months old. The staff are so lovely and helpful, the daily updates are great and I always feel reassured that they are going to be well looked after. The kids love being in the garden which has so much space and lots to play with. Thank
you for all of your support over the past 5 years.

My daughter started at this nursery in April 2024 and since her very first day, I cannot fault either the nursery, or staff there, in the slightest. Every single person is friendly, caring and supportive to both me, and my daughter. Since starting at Little Strawberries my daughter has come on leaps
in bounds in both her development, and confidence. I genuinely wouldn't send my child anywhere else and hand on heart think this nursery is amazing and faultless. I cannot recommend them highly enough!!

Review from Becky D (Mother of Child) published on 27 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We've had such a fantastic experience with this nursery - both in the baby room and now the toddler room. From the very beginning, it has felt incredibly welcoming and supportive. The staff truly know and understand our little girl, and it's been amazing to watch her grow in confidence, speech, and
so many other areas since starting.
The activities they plan are always engaging, fun, and child-led, which means our daughter is always excited to go in the mornings. It's clear they really nurture kindness and respect, and that care shines through in everything they do.
Every member of staff has been nothing short of exemplary - always friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in our child's development. They always take the time to update us on how her day has gone, and the app is a great addition too - it's so helpful to know what she's eaten and how she's napped so we can plan our evenings.
This is a brilliant nursery, and we're so glad we made the decision to send her here.

Our daughter has been with Little Strawberries for a couple of months now and is absolutely loving it, we’ve seen such a change in her confidence in such a short amount of time and so glad we’re able to up her hours there in a few weeks' time. All staff are great and understand how hard it is to leave
your child with people you don’t know but they have made us feel comfortable from day one and we trust them with our daughter and that’s down to their effort and great communication. We highly recommend sending your child here.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.922)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.922) out of 10 for Little Strawberries Nursery School 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.922 for Little Strawberries Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (154 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.922
  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 Strawberries Nursery School is based on 14 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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 14 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.
