Review from A Z (Mother of Child) published on 22 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Little Memories is an outstanding nursery which exemplifies exceptional standards across all planned activities, recruitment of staff and nutrionally balanced meals. Communication between parents and staff is wonderful with the help of their app. This enables key workers and staff to update parents
and guardians with photos of their children, what they had to eat along with messages. Having dealt with other nurseries before, this one is by far the best that I have come across to date in helping little ones reach their potential and become school ready. They really foster love of learning in the kids. Bravo!

It's hard to write a review in such few words for little memories as I could write so much, they are that amazing! My son came at 10months old after a horrendous experience with another nursery and we never looked back. He has truly flourished, it makes me sad that he is now moving on to school and
leaving such wonderful staff but I am comforted that my second son will have the pleasure of experiencing little memories too! They have prepared him for school, ensuring his communication skills and curriculum knowledge is already above and beyond what we expected for his age. He is also very emotionally aware and sociable thanks to the wonderful staff. Management have shown us such compassion and kindness over the years and it's so nice to be able to say they are one of the only practices I've encountered where the children and families are put first. I can't thank all the amazing staff enough, it's so hard to leave your baby with other people but I would honestly recommend Little memories

Our little one has loved their time at this nursery. The staff are caring, attentive, encouraging and engaging with all the children.
There is a great mix of activities, learning and educational resources. Children have access to a playground and a separate garden area.
The added bonus is the extra
curricular activities such as the sports coach. I would recommend little memories to anyone looking for a caring, nurturing setting for their little one.

My son is almost 3 and has been attending Little Memories since he was 8 months old. We've been so happy with the nursery, he has come on and progressed so much and the input from nursery has really helped him with all aspects of his development. The staff all seem to know him and he loves going to
nursery :) The communication is excellent, I'm always able to keep up with what he does day to day, how he is doing in general and any activities or changes in the nursery.
My son has numerous allergies, eczema and uses inhalers, the nursery are happy to work with us to safely manage his health and I do trust them to look after him. I find that they are able to manage health concerns to a good level before requesting parent input or collection.
I would recommend this nursery and we have all been very happy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
An incredible nursery with fantastic staff. This Nursery has now had both of our boys and I can't praise the team enough for their focus and work with them. Our boys have developed from babies through to pre school and graduation and the skills and experiences they have received through the car and
dedication of the team is second to none.
Its definitely one of the best nurseries in the area and they do make you feel part of their family, the boys are always excited to go and will be sad to leave all their friends.
Cannot fault the nursery in any way and the children that do go are very lucky to be in an environment where everyone cares so much!!
Thank you so much for everything you have done for our two boys over the last 9 years!

We had a prospective visit for a place for next year. We had a fantastic walk around with a member of staff who was brilliant. The staff were all very friendly and all the children seemed very safe and happy. We were given lots of clear and reassuring information and were very impressed with the facilities
and curriculum.

Such a wonderful nursery. Both of my daughters attended since they were 1, and our experience has been excellent with both children. The staff are so attentive and genuinely care so much about the kids. All of the staff work extremely hard to set the kids up in the best way possible for school. We can't

We couldn't be happier with our experience at this nursery. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and dedicated to each child's development. Our son has blossomed socially and academically in such a warm, nurturing environment. The communication with parents is outstanding, and the activities
are creative, engaging, and educational. We truly feel confident and at peace knowing he's in such capable hands every day.

We are so happy with our choice of nursery. Our daughter has been attending for around 18 months and the care and development she has achieved in that time has been fantastic. The staff do so much for the children and the activities are varied and engaging. My daughter is well understood by staff, who
show genuine affection towards her. Feel really comfortable and happy knowing she is well looked after in nursery.

Little Memories is an exceptional educational provider who have offered a warm, safe, creative, happy, and inspirational environment for both of my children to develop and thrive in. All staff are professionally warm, welcoming, knowledgeable and skilful; external providers enhance the curriculum and
experiences both my children receive on a weekly basis, ensuring they get to work with experts in French, dance and sport. I unreservedly recommend this nursery and thank all the staff for their care.

Our daughter loves Lilliput Day Nursery. She gets really excited when she sees the nursery and when I go to pick her up she always comes out with a smile on her face. Sometimes we will drive past it at the weekend and she gets disappointed that she can't go in and play. Our daughter learns so much at
the nursery, she always comes home with a new words or skills she has learned and her overall confidence and development have shot up since she has been going to the nursery. The staff at Lilliput are always kind and supportive. They are really attentive to our daughter's needs and they are supportive and helpful if she has any problems or difficulties. The nursery has a real family atmosphere and fosters really good relationships between the children so that they become friends who are are always saying hello to each other when they get dropped off and seem genuinely happy to see each other and be able to play together.

I am so glad that we chose Lilliput Day Nursery, it was the right choice for our daughter. The word that sums the nursery up is kind.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.898)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.898) out of 10 for Little Memories 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 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 4.898 for Little Memories Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (150 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.898
  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 Memories Day Nursery 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, 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.
