Both my children attended the nursery.
They absolutely loved it. Staff is amazing, professional and very friendly. They have an amazing garden there and children spend lots of time outside. They do great activities and we got daily updates.
I can only highly recommend it.

Our son is so happy here! He had never been in childcare before but the friendly staff and fun activities helped him to get settled quickly. They have a great outdoor space and even sheltered tables for the kids to have lunch outside.
Staff members are always happy to help and they make the effort
to adapt to each child and respond to their needs. They share information at pick up time about how the day went, what our son ate, how much he slept etc. We also appreciate the pictures shared regularly.
Our son made great friends and he is always looking forward to seeing them. His speech has improved a lot!
I would really recommend this nursery to any parent.

My son loves coming to this nursery. He tells us about his day, his friends and what he ate. He's always telling us he "doesn't want to go to old nursery, I like new nursery" and we have to reassure him, he'll never go to the old one again. The nursery staff are really informative and caring, you can
feel the warmth they have for the children. It's really reassuring as a parent to know you're dropping your child off with people who care.

My little girl loves the nursery and is very fond of her key worker. The app gives us a glimpse of what they are up to and it looks like she has a great time there. They recently had a "breakfast at nursery 'do, which was very nice.

We are absolutely delighted with Little Learners Day Nursery. It is a wonderful, nurturing environment and the staff are amazing with the children. The ladies really take the time to get to know each child individually and provide for them accordingly. Our son started with Little Learners Day Nursery
in September and his development since starting there has been remarkable. His speech was very delayed but since starting at nursery his language has vastly improved. He is always so excited to go into the nursery and the range of activities that they do each day is fantastic. He has learnt so much in such a short space of time there. The outdoor facilities are brilliant too and our son loves the meals. We thoroughly recommend this fantastic nursery and its lovely staff. He will be very sad to leave here when he starts school in September.

I feel extremely comfortable sending my daughter to nursery knowing she’ll be looked after and receive the correct support to develop her unique personality in the right way. She loves all of her friends and teachers at the nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Choosing a nursery was one of our most considered decisions. After much deliberation, and a happy visit, we finally agreed that Little Learners in Purley was the right fit for our daughter.


After a stuttered settling-in period, it's clear we've chosen the right environment for our little girl to

grow and develop.


Leg hugging and tears at the nursery door have now been replaced by a no-look wave as she hurries into the building.


The nursery staff are friendly and approachable, and readily provide valuable insights into our child's learning and development [which, thanks to them, is improving all the time].


The online tools and Parent resources are excellent. The Online journal is frequently updated, and provides a very pleasing diary of our daughter's nursery experience.


The team at Little Learners (Purley) deserve recognition and praise for the excellent work they do. If you're looking for a nursery that ticks all the boxes (or close enough), check them out and see what you think

My little girl loves going to the nursery, so much so that she is asking us if we are going to the nursery over the weekend. She loves all the drawing, singing, and dancing that they do. She comes home a happy child, could not recommend the nursery enough.

The staff here are amazing. My daughter has been coming for nearly two years and loves it. They plan so many fun and engaging activities and she is progressing so well. They make observations almost every day which is far more than some nurseries. I will be gutted when she has to leave for school in
September and will bring any future children here!

Fantastic nursery. Our daughter's speech and confidence have grown every day! Staff teach something new every day, play outside in the fresh air, songs, dance and language - every day, every week and better! Teachers and all staff are very caring and friendly with a lot of patience. Our daughter loves
going there and she is always happy, always misses her little friends when she is on holiday or over the weekend. Perfect location, close to the park. We love you Little Learners.

Little Learners, Purley has been a fantastic early years setting for my son. The staff are warm, friendly, and professional all striving for the same goal, to ensure children feel happy and safe and to prepare them for school.
My son took a while to settle in as he was a three year old starting during
the pandemic, in a strange environment with adults he did not know and leaving his parents who he had spent nearly a year "locked down" with. The staff were amazing and encouraging at all times and did everything in their power to reassure my son and me, making suggestions to ease the transition.
My son loves Little Learners. His confidence has grown so much in the past 10 months, thanks to the staff there.
Above all though, he has learnt a phenomenal amount and loves to learn thanks to the techniques and activities Little Learners offers. I would highly recommend Little Learners to any parent, it really is wonderful!

Absolutely amazing team at Little Learners Purley!! Will be sad for my son to leave such an amazing setting next year if he could stay longer he would, never have I ever felt so comfortable to leave my son! He is always so happy to go and so sad to leave so many activities are done in 1 day I don’t
know how the staff do it but he has really changed for the better since being here at Little Learners Purley! Extremely happy with this setting and would highly recommend it to ANYONE looking for a fun healthy clean place for your child to grow!

When my son started attending this nursery nearly 5 months ago, his speech was very limited. It didn't take long at all for it to develop. I am so happy with his overall progress, the staff seem to keep him very busy and he's learning at a rapid rate. I can tell they make an effort with my son, especially
his key worker. He absolutely loves attending nursery and even gets upset sometimes when it's time to leave. I would 100% recommend it. Thank you ladies!

My twins love going to Little Learners - the staff are great, there is a wide range of activities each day and the communication between home and nursery is brilliant. Since starting at the nursery, my twins have made great progress with their academics and have brought these skills home. The nursery
have been great with supporting my twins to be more independent from each other and I feel that they are really getting well prepared for school. Thank you Little Learners!

My son attends Little Learners Day Nursery. He has generally been happy at the nursery. From the journals that are shared showing what activities he engages in, it seems to include a wide variety. The activities seem to include play and learning through play, which makes learning fun. The outside space
at the nursery is impressive and the staff are approachable and friendly. I do think some of the learning activities could be a little more structure to my son, such as reading, writing and math, as he needs this but otherwise, I am pleased.

Excellent setting providing a great variety of activity and games as well as learning. Facilities are in really good conditions, the outdoor area is amazing and spacious. The team gives us constant updates and provides great care. Our son loves the nursery and the fees are excellent value for money.
The only missing would be one to one reviews with parents (or video calls during covid).

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.911)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.911) out of 10 for Little Learners Day Nursery - Purley 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.911 for Little Learners Day Nursery - Purley is calculated as follows: ( (163 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.911
  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 Learners Day Nursery - Purley 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 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 32 number of registered child places is 6.4, 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.
