Little Trees Day Nursery St Arvans has provided a welcoming and supportive environment for our family. The staff know the children well, tailor learning to the children's interests, and they go above and beyond to ensure all children feel included. Our child loves attending the setting and has formed
positive relationships with staff and other children, and we look forward to hearing their daily account of their adventures and learning. Staff are approachable, professional, and friendly. The communication between staff and parents is good, and they are always happy to listen and give daily feedback. We highly recommend this nursery/preschool provider, especially for children with additional medical needs.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were apprehensive about the nursery, after having a baby during the pandemic and moving house to a new area. Our nerves were calmed by the incredible experience at Little Trees St Arvans. As our child began their journey, management and room staff helped us feel relaxed by explaining the Little Trees
philosophy and committing to working in partnership with us as parents. As our child has transitioned through two room changes, we have built great relationships with all staff. The beauty of Little Trees is the commitment they make to every child, getting to know the family and ensuring the unique child is at the centre of their practice. Through the upheavals we have personally faced, Little Trees has been a constant source of consistency and a foundation for growth. We know staff are dedicated to our child's development and individual interests and working with us to guide them through childhood. We feel so lucky to have found Little Trees and to have made them a cornerstone of our child's life.

The nursery is fantastic, all the ladies who look after my daughter are so engaging and loving.
I would highly recommend the nursery.
The management is fantastic, everything is very well organised. You know exactly what the children have been doing throughout the day because you have a detailed account
of the activities etc.

My child has been attending Little Trees for two years and I could not be happier with the care and support that he receives there. All the staff are exceptional, they do everything for the children to ensure they are happy and have the best time at nursery. The daily activities are great and they spend
a lot of time outdoors which my child loves. We love having the daily/weekly updates and photos to see what they have been up to. Everything that the staff do I know they have the children's best interests at heart. I have noticed such a difference in my child's confidence whilst attending Little Trees, staff interact on such a personal level, it really is lovely and everything we could wish for in a nursery for our child.

St. Arvans Little Trees is a fantastic nursery managed extremely well with excellent communication. Can't fault any of the team they are wonderful and go above and beyond to make sure my daughter is happy and settled. They are always thinking up creative new activities the Christmas goody bag they brought
home was amazing. My daughter has grown in confidence and absolutely loves going to nursery which makes working full-time so much easier for me. Thank you.

Little Trees is a lovely nursery and all the staff are wonderful with the children. My child is in the pre school class and enjoys herself every day that she is there. They always have plenty of activities to do, which are varied and fun! The staff work ever so hard to keep them entertained and well
looked after.

Both my children go to this nursery and it is wonderful. Every child is listened to and catered for! Every day is full of books, singing, music, arts and crafts, games, outside play, free play and yummy food. They also do theme days for things like World Book Day and Winnie the Pooh day. I know exactly
what the kids have eaten, how much sleep they've had and how many nappy changes as the staff updates the parent app regularly. My eldest enjoys nursery so much that he asks to go on the weekends! Can't recommend Little Trees St Arvans enough.

The staff really understand my child - they treat him as an individual. They discuss concerns and make sure we are all on the same page. All the staff are really lovely and supportive. My boy always comes home smiling. There's always lots of outdoor play and lots of different activities they can get
involved in, but it's always about what the children want to do.

Our son has recently joined the nursery and we could not be happier with the level of care and kindness he has been shown. He has settled in straight away which is testament to the wonderful staff and he comes home smiling every day. The communication from the staff is also to be commended. They have
been fantastic letting us know during the day how he has been settling in and sending photos of our happy little chap for reassurance. A really wonderful setting!

I have no concerns at all about sending my boy to Little Trees, which for a mum, is rare - there's usually always something to worry over! I know he is very well looked after as the staff pay great attention to his physical and emotional well-being. He does varied, stimulating activities every week
that focus on developing different skills all the time. The communication is brilliant too, so I'm able to talk to him about what he's been learning about or playing with. Most of all, he loves it too!

The nursery staff are all very caring and attentive. My daughter loves going to the nursery and seeing the staff and her friends. The activities like moo music are always a big hit with my daughter. Excellent communication between the staff and myself; they keep me updated on my daughter's day, lots
of pictures and also her learning assessments.

Little Trees has been such a success for our daughter. She settled in straight away, and it was immediately clear to us that the staff were so warm and welcoming. She has now been at Little Trees for four months, and we love it. The staff are so creative, caring and understanding. We have felt very
supported. The activities the children do are brilliant, and it's always lovely seeing the photos too. Thank you, Little Trees.

My child loves Little Trees and all the staff there! The pre-school room is great preparation for school in September. The food is well varied, healthy and yummy (I’m told)! Parent communications keep me fully up to date with what she’s been up to all day. I would highly recommend it.

Little Trees is a fantastic nursery. My daughter races through the door and barely looks back. The activities that the staff organise and support, are brilliant. We have a clear round up of the day's activities and pictures on the app. This helps us know what our daughter has been up to. You can see
in the pictures how much fun she is having. The kindness, care and attention shown to the children, by the staff, is wonderful. I know that she is being taken care of and having a brilliant time.

Our daughter has loved preschool from day 1! She is always excited to go and desperate to tell us all about her day. We couldn’t ask for a friendlier, more inviting staff. Our daughter is always greeted by name, even by members of staff working in other rooms. She thoroughly enjoys the activities the
preschool room has to offer and we are thrilled that she gets to experience so much time outside. The staff have worked extremely hard during the pandemic and we feel happy that they are doing everything possible to keep the children safe. Thank you to the wonderful Robins staff for giving our daughter such a positive start to her education.

All the staff at Robins have been amazing with my somewhat shy son. They have been supportive right from the start, great at communicating with me and clearly genuinely care about each child as an individual. My son always comes how with a big smile and is obviously very attached to the staff in his
room as well as the management. He is learning so much and always talking about the things he has done or learnt at nursery. The outdoor space is lovely and big, which was a big selling point for us and they get them out in all weathers letting them run around and get muddy which my son loves. I would recommend this nursery to any family.

I’m very happy sending my son to Robins. The staff are very engaging with parents and when I collect him I hear happy children in the rooms which makes me smile. Robins is managed by a very hard working, caring and enthusiastic manager and this seems to have flown down to the staff. My son is so excited
to tell me what he’s done during the day. I can’t thank preschool room enough for their interaction with him. He often asks if they can come to tea! Robins has come a long way since the new manager has been in place. Thank you to a wonderful team. You are the best.

The care my son receives at Robins is fantastic and the manager and all the staff are the most caring and hard-working team. They have all done everything they can in maintaining a real sense of normality for the children during these times and we even received recorded messages of stories etc and activity
packs during lockdowns. The nursery itself is beautiful with a really lovely spacious garden. I would not send my son anywhere else, the nursery really is exceptional.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.796)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.796) out of 10 for Little Trees Day Nursery St Arvans 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 4.9 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 4.926 for Little Trees Day Nursery St Arvans is calculated as follows: ( (177 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.926
  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 4.87 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Trees Day Nursery St Arvans 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 92 number of registered child places is 18.4. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.4 = 0.87
  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.
