My little girl has been at Ladybird Lane for 4 months and absolutely loves it. The staff are so attentive and friendly and went above and beyond when settling in was very difficult. Great resources both indoors and outdoors. The manager has a beautiful nursery and a great team behind her!

My child has been going there for the past 2 years and he made such good relationships with staff and made good friends with other children. The staff are great and very friendly to parents. My child’s immune system is not that great, so I do try and remind staff to wash his hands often. They are also
good at keeping you informed about what is happening with my child.

Ladybird Lane offer a truly exceptional service! As a parent I am kept well informed through the app which is consistently updated throughout the day. The staff are absolutely wonderful and I have every confidence in their capabilities and level of care. The end of day report for each room is detailed
and I'm always amazed at how much activity they've managed to pack in to nurture the development of my child. They are on top of their systems and procedures and the premises are spotless, engaging with health and safety a major priority.

My child is happy to arrive at this location and always smiling when leaving which I think speaks volumes about the staff and facilities. The staff keep me updated throughout the date and are very accessible should I have any queries. My child benefits from the staff applying the current curriculum
and extracurricular activities and excursions. The menus are balanced and healthy. Every child appears to be included in all activities.

The owner and her team run a beautiful nursery with a real family feel, the staff are so helpful and all smiling they all clearly love their jobs. The activities for kids are all Montessori-led and their innovation and imagination for everything from themes to tuff tray setups are unique. Their preschool
setup really works to prepare them for primary with reading, maths, social skills and attention skills. So delighted that I was able to send my little one here as they love it so much.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Amazing nursery with caring staff that go the extra mile. My wee one left her treasured teddies behind one Friday evening. I didn't discover until the nursery was closed. I messaged the nursery on Saturday morning and the manager opened up for me. This meant the world to my wee one and to me. They knew
how important it was to get the teddies back to my wee one. Cannot recommend highly enough, plus always amazing events taking place each term. My child is in safe hands, that is priceless.

Ladybird Lane is an amazing nursery, with such great values at its core. The staff do so many activities with the children each day to make learning experiences fun and enjoyable. They are so approachable, friendly and caring it makes it much easier for little ones to settle in. They go above and beyond
daily and nothing is ever any hassle to them.
Overall we rate Ladybird Lane 10/10 and couldn’t recommend more.

Ladybird Lane is an excellent daycare/nursery facility and I couldn't recommend the staff and environment enough! They provide fantastic care, activities and support to both the children and families. My son and daughter love their time here and always come out smiling with plenty of stories to tell!
I wouldn't leave my babies anywhere else. Staff are friendly, the environment is warm and inviting for the children and all measures are taken to make it safe and secure for the little ones! My son is an EpiPen holder, all training was provided to ensure his safety using this and even the menu changed to suit his needs on the days he is in! You are updated on their progress throughout the day and they are always quick in replying when you send messages/calls etc. giving you peace of mind! 5*

The level of care given to my daughter has been excellent, she has come on leaps and bounds since starting in July 2023 aged 11 months. She absolutely loves going in every day and has the best of fun with all the staff and other children.
We will be putting our second child in full time in November
without any hesitation and I would recommend this nursery to anyone in the area.

Ladybird Lane is an excellent Nursery School! The staff are wonderful with the children and they really go that extra mile so all the children have a great learning experience. The range of activities they can squeeze in during such a short space of time is unbelievable. So impressed and would highly
recommend to any parent.

Lady Bird Lane is an excellent daycare and nursery, staff are very warm and welcoming with children. Always happy to provide an adapted level of care to each child's needs. Staff take the time to get to know the children so they can help them develop their skills in areas which need more support and
know how to support and offer comfort when needed. High level of effort and thought put into activities for the children with lots of day trips and visitors to the nursery giving the children access to experiences to build on social skills. A true family atmosphere which is inclusive and welcoming to all

I have two children who attend Ladybird Lane, they both settled so well and thoroughly enjoy their days here each week. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming. There are always great activities and artwork getting sent home to show what they've been up to during the day. I really like the app
which is used to note all relevant information such as naps/meals/photos etc.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have two children at the nursery aged 4 (Pre-School room) and 20 months (Waddler room). My eldest son has previously been enrolled in 2 other nurseries including the leading nursery franchise in the Northwest of England. I can say, hands down, Ladybird Lane is the best daycare I have experienced.
The Manager is excellent and the Head of Pre School always goes above and beyond. The head of the Waddlers room is also a lovely lady and I feel very reassured handing over my baby into her care.


All the staff however are warm, and friendly and they are always available to discuss any concerns I may have. It is clear to me that my children adore the staff at Ladybird Lane. They also make excellent use of the App so I feel well informed about what the children get up to during the day and I am able to see what they are eating / how they are sleeping, as well as lots of photos to reassure me they are having a great day. Highly recommend!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.858)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.858) out of 10 for Ladybird Lane Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 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 4.983 for Ladybird Lane Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (177 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.983
  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 4.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ladybird Lane Day Nursery is based on 15 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.875
    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 15 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.
