Review from Nebiat T (Mother of Child) published on 9 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending St Mary Little Owls Nursery for nearly a year now, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. All the staff are so friendly, caring, and welcoming-they truly make the nursery feel like a second home. The learning environment is excellent, and the activities they plan are
both fun and educational.
Since starting, my son has made amazing progress, especially with his speech-he's now talking so much more confidently. It's been such a joy to see how happy and settled he is every day.
I'm so grateful to everyone at Little Owls for the love and care they show. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a warm and supportive place for their little one.

Review from Thomas H (Father of Child) published on 2 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is an excellent nursery full of very experienced and dedicated staff.
The management have been working at the site for a long time and have extensive local knowledge and contacts. They have also kept up to date on the latest child education methods. They are very enthusiastic and dedicated and
you notice them going above and beyond. Wheeler dealing on social media for new equipment, campaigning the local councilors for improvements to the area outside the nursery, fundraising at local galas etc.
As a parent we are regularly invited to join in with sessions and the staff are happy to chat without appointments. Each time you enter you can see the care taken in the environment, the class rooms are always very neat and tidy and the atmosphere is calm.
My daughter loves it here and just like all the other kids in her group, rushes into nursery every morning and comes out at the end of the day happy and smiling.

Highly recommend Little Owls Nursery Hunslet St Mary's. My daughter has just finished 2 years here before starting reception in September and she has grown so much in confidence and come on in leaps and bounds. All staff are absolutely amazing and go above and beyond for the children as well as being
there for families too. Absolutely loved bringing parents to nursery days and spending time in nursery with her. We will miss you all.

Review from Emily P (Mother of Child) published on 25 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children have attended this nursery and both have loved every second that they’ve spent there.
All of the ladies that work here have become like a little extension to our family and have helped us nurture our daughters through their early years.
There is plenty for the children to learn and
play with and lots of interactive activities throughout each and every session.
The outside area has always been both my girls’ favourite place with the cosy story corner and the home corner also being firm favourites.
Both girls have developed their social and educational skills since attending this nursery and always arrive home excited to tell us what new things they’ve learnt.
From the times I, as a parent, have been invited to stay and play - I can see how much they care for all the children and genuinely love what they do - which makes all the difference.
I cannot thank each teacher enough for the amazing care, support and love over the years. We’ll always have amazing memories.

Little Owls Nursery is an excellent establishment with great staff. My son loves going to the nursery and has a brilliant relationship with the staff.
My relationship with the staff is good, they ring you to warn you of any trips, falls and bumps your child has had. The communication is too notch.
Overall it’s an amazing place.

A beautiful kindergarten and all the teachers are lovely and treat the children with love and kindness inside the kindergarten. My daughter was crying at the beginning of the day, but with the pain of a kindergarten day, she was laughing and loving going to kindergarten. There are all the toys, books
and educational things for children to learn with love. Thank you for that kindness.

The leadership and staff at this nursery are absolutely outstanding.
Each individual child is nurtured and given their chance to shine.
The staff care about the needs and development of your child and through play encouragement and nurture my little bit came on leaps and bounds.
Its important
where you choose to shape your little ones mind.
I am absolutely over the moon with how staff at the site were with both my boys.
Highly recommend

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.847)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.847) out of 10 for Little Owls Nursery Hunslet St Mary's 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.847 for Little Owls Nursery Hunslet St Mary's is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 137 Ratings = 4.847
  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 Owls Nursery Hunslet St Mary's is based on 12 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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2, which has been reached with 12 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.
