  • Little Wellies Day Nursery Wrose, Bradford
Little Wellies in Wrose is a family owned and run nursery. They pride themselves on their home from home feel and highly trained caring staff team.

They believe that children learn best through play and they are fully involved in taking care of their surroundings. You won't see many plastic toys in their nursery, as what can be more fun than playing with real cups and saucers and food.

They are different to other nurseries in their area and their children thrive.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little one initially struggled to settle but all the nursery staff made me feel at ease and I was allowed to call and check on her without it feeling like I was a burden. Any parent will know that when they leave their child upset they need that reassurance that all is ok or else you can't function
in your job as their upset is at the forefront of your mind. My daughter settled eventually but still has the odd day, but the staff know exactly how to be with her and she adores all of them. The nursery is spoken about a lot in our house as she is extremely happy there. Management are easily approachable, friendly and supportive. Activities are always well thought about and my little one gets excited to do something new. She has many friends and attending Little Wellies has bought out her confidence, speech, manners and how to interact well with others.
Reply from Linsi Tidswell, Director at Little Wellies Day Nursery WroseThank you for your kind review. The team work so hard to help children settle and it's wonderful to hear how pleased you are.

My children have both attended Little Wellies and both have not only enjoyed it but have thrived and developed whilst being there. They encourage a hands approach to learning through exploration and messy play within an informal setting.
The staff are approachable and honest, giving feedback and sharing
best practices. They are caring and both of my children feel very at home at the nursery, there is a warm family feeling throughout.
Staff provide frequent updates and set achievable and challenging goals to track progress, we have found this works well and gives clarity on progress and key improvement areas.
The facilities are great and encourage a playful and creative learning experience. My boy always comes home with a full belly and tired from a busy day!
The biggest compliment I can give them is we will be extremely sad when our boy leaves to go to school, Little Wellies are excellent at what they do and their values are consistent across the whole team. Thank you for everything.
Reply from Linsi Tidswell, Director at Little Wellies Day Nursery WroseWhat a fabulous review. Our team work so hard to provide the nursery experience you describe. They are all fab! Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know your thoughts.

Outstanding nursery setting!
The staff have been great with my little boy from settling in sessions when he first started to now moving rooms. He enjoys telling me about the exciting things he has done throughout the day from going on trips to the local pet shop and park to singing and dancing with
his friends. The Manager is great and always try’s to fit him in for extra sessions when we need them and is always happy to help with guidance or questions that we have.
As parents it is such a big decision on where to take your child and I wholeheartedly believe that I made the best decision for my son and believe that he thrives being around his peers in a safe environment. One very happy boy and two very happy parents!

Little Wellies Day Nursery is very welcoming, the staff are always at hand to answer any questions or concerns. All the children appear happy and confident, supported to be so by the staff team.
There is a fantastic range of activities to learn from, expanding children's skills and confidence building.
The
outside play areas are well-equipped and a hive of activity.
The manager is approachable and often with the children doing activities or having a chat.

Little Wellies Day Nursery is a lovely, family run nursery that we knew was right for our children from our first visit 3.5 years ago. Our son settled nicely and now our daughter loves it too. The staff are friendly and always helpful, they tell us everything we need to know at pick up time and have
regular social mornings/evenings where we can go and catch up.
There always seems to be lots going on for the kids to do, and they always come home telling us excitedly about their day! We wouldn't consider going anywhere else and I always recommend Little Wellies when speaking to other parents regarding childcare!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I decided to put my son into nursery for when I go back to work.
I was extremely nervous and anxious about doing so, as any new first-time parent would be. Little Wellies offer settling in days prior to your child’s first day which I think is great.
On my settling-in days, the two ladies who were
in the baby area were very helpful in answering all the questions I had and making me feel at ease and reassuring me! Which is a big thing for me as I’m really anxious about leaving him for the first time.

Our two children love going to Little Wellies and always have a great time. The staff are dedicated and spend a lot of time tailoring activities to their interests. We really like the amount of time they spend in the gardens and the trips out. We appreciate the handovers and working with us on addressing
things like potty training. Judging by how often our kids eat everything the food must be good! We feel very much part of the 'Little Wellies Family'

Lovely nursery with lovely staff.
Both my boys enjoy coming to nursery, my eldest comes home telling me about the things he’s done and new things he’s learnt. He has made friends and loves to tell me all about his day.
My youngest seems happy enough, playing and eating all his food at mealtimes.
Love that the manager puts pictures with updates of what the children have been up to that day.
Good handovers at pick up times to let us know how much they have eaten or how much sleep they had at nap times.
Parking is ok outside the nursery. Garden/playgrounds are good and packed with outside toys and sandpits, slides etc.
Would definitely recommend it to any of my friends.

My son has attended Little Wellies since he was eight months old, he's now three! I have had the experience of all three rooms and have never had concerns with the care that is provided by any of the staff. My son has always enjoyed his time at nursery. His communication and social skills are very good
and I believe that is very much down to him being in a social setting. They have trips to the local park and pet shop regularly. I would always recommend Little Wellies to my family and friends.

I have used Little Wellies since 2016. My daughter went there until she went to school and now my twins go there. We have always loved Little Wellies, it feels like a home from home. The staff are so friendly, inviting and amazing with all the children. I highly recommend this nursery.

Both our boys have loved their time as Little Wellies. Our youngest has been attending since he was eight months old and is still there. Our oldest has left to start school and looks forwards to the times he gets to go back and play in the school holidays. All the staff are lovely and care for the children
wonderfully. Both boys don’t want to leave at the end of a session and I think that says it all! Thank you Little Wellies!

I cannot recommend this nursery enough! The staff go above and beyond to make sure your children are safe and happy. Both of my little girls attend, my eldest has been there since she was 8 months old and will leave this year for school. My youngest is nearly 2 and she has been there since she was 7
months old. Both girls go in smiling and come home smiling, full of conversation about their day. The staff I cannot praise enough! My children love them and know all of them even though they might not be in my child’s room, they play out in all weathers which I think is so important, they enjoy all the messy activities and just absolutely love coming to this nursery. Thank you for making my 2 girls happy, safe and content in your care.

I one hundred percent recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking. We struggled to find a place my little girl would settle into, after multiple places we tried Little Wellies Day Nursery Wrose and they really worked with her to help her settle. Now she waves me off without looking back. Also, when
she started she wasn't speaking however now she never shuts up. Due to the amazing efforts and such lovely staff we have decided to send our little boy here and he is loving it just as much. Definitely the best nursery in Bradford.

My son has attended Little Wellies part-time for about 2 years now, just recently he’s increased the hours he goes which has gone seamlessly with the support of the practitioners.
He has several allergies and Little Wellies are one of the only places I feel they take the responsibility as seriously
as I do. Everyone I’ve had contact with is professional and caring, I’ve had no concerns with the care provided since he started.
He always comes home happy with lots of tales to tell, he was a slow talker and has come on leaps with the help of nursery.
Lovely real setting, the children can play, get muddy, get out for walks. Would recommend!

I am a higher level teaching assistant at a Primary School and have two grandchildren who attend Little Wellies Day Nursery Wrose. My grandson is at one of the other settings but my granddaughter is at Little Wellies Day Nursery Wrose. I am very impressed and happy with the facilities, teaching, meals
and the care they receive. I love seeing the photographs of the activities they join in with each day and am regularly treated to their renditions of the songs they are learning, in fact they are always singing them, even to themselves. I was bowled over by their Book Day celebrations and activities, as well as the resources they were opened to, which were outstanding! Well done everyone and thank you for taking excellent care of my most precious possessions.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.894) out of 10 for Little Wellies Day Nursery Wrose 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.894 for Little Wellies Day Nursery Wrose is calculated as follows: ( (316 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 348 Ratings = 4.894
  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 Wellies Day Nursery Wrose is based on 29 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 53 number of registered child places is 10.6, which has been reached with 29 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.
