Staff are lovely, very welcoming and grow a bond with each individual child, my son can not wait to get there each morning.
He comes home telling us what he’s done and how much he’s enjoyed it everyday.
All staff are lovely and all the staff are there to help with all needs and answers.
Amazing

My little boy has attended this nursery since he was 1 year old and I can’t fault it one bit. The communication with parents (via the app) is great. The staff are always welcoming and make us feel part of the family. The food he has daily is healthy and delicious and we are also able to have flexible
sessions to fit around my husband’s shifts. My son is now in pre-school and they have been preparing him for the move to school. He’s grown in confidence and built up some essential skills in the last six months thanks to the hard work of the staff. The best thing about Little Red is the different areas that the children can make use of. They have a great outside area with an outside cabin and a soft play area (with a slide etc) and a role-play toy town area inside. They have guests (music man and dance teacher) every week too. There’s lots of variety so no day is the same for the children.

My child is always having and always has a great day in nursery. The staff at Little Red Nursery are absolutely brilliant which makes me feel welcomed. The staff are also helpful, considerate, polite, patient and they are always happy. Little Red Nursery is one of the cleanest and spotless places l
have ever seen it always smells nice. Children at Little Red Nursery eat a well-balanced diet and when l ask my child what she eats in the nursery she always explains the food is nice and that she enjoys the food. I love that my child is attending Little Red Nursery. Thank you.

My child settled into this nursery easily with the help of all the staff. They made her feel welcome and she loves coming home and telling me about what so and so did. All the staff are so friendly and I am so glad I chose this nursery, my child will be so sad to leave in a few months but I know she's
had the best time. They constantly have new ideas for activities and they're always exciting. Any child would be lucky to go here knowing they are well looked after.

My little girl has been attending Little Red since September 2021 and she loves going there. The staff are so welcoming and put us all at ease quickly, and my little girl is excited to go to nursery every day. The nursery have been accommodating when our son's school holidays didn't match up with term
dates which have really helped out as we both work. The children take part in so many different activities and learn so much. My little girl is definitely well prepared for starting school in September and the staff at nursery have played such a great role in this.


I definitely recommend Little Red.

We are very pleased with our grandson's progress at the Nursery. Staff are always supportive, professional warm and friendly. He looks forward to his days at nursery. He is meeting all his educational milestones. The nursery provides all his progress and daily routine on the App this is so helpful for

My daughter has been there for almost a year and absolutely loves it. She gets excited and claps her hands whenever we arrive and she is always happy and in a good mood when I collect her. The staff are fantastic with her and if they have any issues they are quick to respond and notify me. My daughter
is so settled and happy that I'm now starting my youngest son in January and increasing their days on time for me to go back to work.

Everyone in the toddler room does an absolutely wonderful job - my son's behaviour is quite challenging but they are great with him, this is reflected in the fact that he always talks about the staff at home and loves coming into the nursery.

Well, where do I start! My daughter was one when she started and she is four now. She absolutely loves nursery!


What I love about the nursery is my daughter loves it she has never once said she doesn't want to go (unless poorly) As a new mum I was so worried she would be ok and they care and totally

understand, they are very accommodating and staff are lovely they genuinely care for my daughter and that shows.


I know she will be upset when she is due to leave and so will I, this nursery was recommended by friends and I never even looked at any others when I came to look around.


My daughter has come leaps and bounds and to be honest I haven't a bad word to say about this nursery, individuality is important and they accommodate this too!


Thank you for making my daughter happy and thanks to all staff she will miss you all when she leaves in Sept!


Thank you from a very happy Mum.

My daughter has been going to Little Red Day Nursery since she was 10 months old she is now going into her final year before leaving for school. I cannot stress enough how amazing the place and staff are, over the years the staff have became like family to us and my daughter has always adored them.
Throughout Covid the nursery was professional and kept us up to date on all the latest policies, they helped settle my daughter back into a routine there.
I love how throughout the day staff are always updating the app so I can see pictures of what she's been up to or check to see if she ate lunch.
I have huge respect for all the team as they honestly do an amazing job!!!
Thank you Little Red.

My daughter has been at nursery since she was 11 months old. Since being here I can’t fault any of the staff or management. My daughter was diagnosed with a condition that made it difficult sometimes to walk. The nursery was extremely accommodating helping in any way they could with her. They also showed
their caring nature by checking on her while she had hospital stays and appointments - which really means a lot. I feel she’s safe and secure when she’s there and she is happy in their care. She has developed while here from her talking to learning. I would 100% recommend Little Red to anyone.

This nursery is without a doubt the best in the area. I’m so glad that I chose this nursery for my children to attend. Both have attended since they were approx 4 months old, and the nursery has made me feel at ease from the start. The facilities are brilliant and my children have come on leaps and
bounds since starting. My children absolutely love the staff at Little Red Day Nursery and love attending nursery. The man in the accounts department is really helpful, understanding and will do anything to help. Highly recommend choosing kid zone nurseries.

My daughter has been going to Little Red Day Nursery in Ashton since she was nine months old in March 2020. The induction process was excellent and all the staff made myself, my husband and most importantly my daughter feel really welcomed. She settled in very quickly and has learnt a lot during her
time here. I get regular development updates and can also view what she has eaten and how many naps she has had on the app. We had to take our daughter out of nursery during furlough and this was handled very well and didn’t put extra stress on an already stressful situation. She was welcomed and settled well when she returned. They have helped to develop my daughters speech and there has been a vast improvement in all areas of her development. The nursery is clean and has excellent facilities to keep children engaged and developed. They also provide the children with good healthy meals throughout the day. It is lovely to receive all the artwork that the children have completed. Keep up the good work.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.921)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.921) out of 10 for Little Red 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 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 38 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 4.921 for Little Red Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (436 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 467 Ratings = 4.921
  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 Red Day Nursery is based on 38 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 130 number of registered child places is 26, which has been reached with 38 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.
