Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is an incredible nursery with highly experienced staff who have been there for years. My little one runs in each morning before I even have the chance to say goodbye because they're so excited to go in! The communication from staff is amazing and it is genuinely such a happy place. I love that
the setting is smaller so all the staff know all the kids and vice versa. Would highly recommend for so many reasons!

Highly recommend this nursery! My daughter has been attending since September and she absolutely loves it. All of the staff are so attentive and caring to all of the children and they have helped her settle in so well. There is a real warm and welcoming atmosphere when you go in and the staff take a
genuine interest in how best to nurture and support my child. I am extremely happy I chose to send my little girl here.

An absolutely outstanding nursery. Our child started nursery in autumn and the care and attention the team shows is exceptional. It is awesome to see what fantastic and creative activities they do to support the childrens development. The staff are doing a fabulous job and it is so reassuring knowing
that every aspect of your child's care is being provided to such a high standard. Small World is a wonderful nursery with an amazing team that I couldn't recommend enough!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My twin girls attend here and I honestly can't fault this nursery. One of my girls is currently under review due to delayed speech, and the staff have been absolutely brilliant with support and guidance - I genuinely wouldn't have known where to start without them. They've gone above and beyond, even
introducing sign language to help support her communication.
It's a smaller nursery, which means it really feels like a little family. The team are so caring, patient, and attentive, The girls' needs are always the top priority.
Knowing my two-year-olds are safe, happy, and genuinely cared for gives me total peace of mind. I'm so grateful for everything the staff do and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to other parent

My son goes to this nursery and has done since 8 months old. We've always loved the nursery and staff as we've built a close bond over the last couple of years. I'm currently pregnant and already got a space for my baby to go next year as I couldn't imagine letting anyone else look after my children.

Small World Day Nursery and Pre-School is an outstanding nursery that supports our child immensely. Our son has developed so much since he started attending the nursery and he loves his nursery days. All staff are positive, engaging and so helpful. We couldn't wish for a better nursery for our little
boy to attend.

Cannot praise them enough! My little boy used to attend this nursery, from when he was 2 years old until he left for school in September. He was on the ASD pathway when he first started and couldn't walk or talk. He learnt to do both whilst attending Small World Day Nursery and I will be forever grateful.
He had the closest bond with his key worker especially but loved all of the staff there (he still does! He comes with me to pick his little sister up now and still hugs all the girls that work there!) Because of them, he is absolutely thriving in mainstream school!
My little girl also started here when she was 2 years old and will leave for school this year. I'm going to be gutted when she leaves as we love the nursery and the staff! She skips in every day and always has the best time. She has made beautiful friends here and in turn, I have made lovely friends with some of the mums.
We're so glad that we sent our two here and don't think there's anywhere better! Thank you Small World! We love you!

Outstanding nursery! My two children attend here and absolutely love it. It's like one big family. It's a small nursery so the staff get to know all the children very well. My two children could get support and comfort from any member of staff if needed. The staff are very professional and approachable.
They have excellent knowledge and experience in supporting children with additional needs too.
Well done small world.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has attended Small World for nearly a year now and she's developed so much within a short space of time. As first-time parents, we felt so supported with the transition and comforted that our little girl was safe.
The girls in the baby room and pre-toddlers are amazing. They're so positive
and encouraging in all activities. The regular updates on the app mean we get a lovely insight into our daughter's week.
All staff have been so supportive with toilet training, which we really appreciate.
The whole nursery has a lovely friendly/family atmosphere. I couldn't recommend the nursery enough. An amazing bunch keep doing what you're doing!

Hands down the best nursery around you'd be hard pushed to find another just like it. My little girl first went here with Special Educational Needs and they went above and beyond for her and to support us as a family. My little boy is currently attending and has done since he was 9 months old, he absolutely
loves it. He is due to leave this summer to start big school and it breaks my heart that his nursery journey will be over. He has the best years with the best girls caring for him and who always push him to achieve his best and thrive in giving all their little people the best of them. Nothing is ever too much trouble. I cannot recommend Small World Nursery enough they truly are like extended family. If you pick this nursery you will not be disappointed. The staff are amazing, friendly and nurturing. We have made some lovely friendships along the way and I'll be forever grateful to the staff here for looking after both of my babies over the years. This nursery is outstanding!

My daughter has grown up in the nursery and is now in pre school room. The staff in all rooms, at all stages are incredible.
My daughter has learnt so much in her time there and never wants to go home she loves it so much.
The staff get to know each child so well and that is made clear when they
identify personal things about my daughter that she loves or does in-front of only close friends and family.

We would highly recommend Small World Day Nursery and Pre-School. Before our little boy started nursery, we were worried about how he would settle in, given how attached he is to us. However we have been pleasantly surprised at just how quickly he has settled in to nursery and we strongly believe that
the warm, close family vibe there is at Small World is what's helped so much with this.
The staff are all lovely and have clearly helped to make him really feel at home there, to the point where he now goes in happily and barely looks back to us. We couldn't be happier and have no doubt that we made the right decision choosing Small World for him to go to.

Best nursery ever, staff are amazing with a proper family vibe. My little one had a tough time settling in but with all the love, care, understanding and constant communication and updates from all staff she finally settled in and now she loves it. She has progressed so much in such a short space of
time thanks to all staff creating a happy healthy safe environment.

Can’t recommend Small World enough! Our little boy thrives here and is so happy. It gives us the best reassurance that he’s in good hands, and he has such lovely relationships with the other children and the staff. We love the personal family feel here and they know our son and his personality so well.
Any help or advice we need, they are always there. Our little boy has developed so much in every way and it is down to Small World, thank you!

My daughter loves her nursery days at Small World. All the staff are lovely and really friendly.
Since the first day she started staff have made us feel at ease and keep us up to date with how she's getting on each day.
We wouldn't send her anywhere else.

Our daughter is absolutely thriving at Small World and loves going. The team are fantastic and always take excellent care of her. They do really fun activities with the children, inside and outside. The regular updates and photos are brilliant, we are constantly updated, so we can see her playing with
her friends and the staff. It is great to see what she has been up to! The staff are very welcoming and we have never had any issues. It will be very sad when she leaves, as she will be our third child to have attended this nursery!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.997)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.997) out of 10 for Small World Day Nursery and Pre-School Ltd 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 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 4.997 for Small World Day Nursery and Pre-School Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (347 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 348 Ratings = 4.997
  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 Small World Day Nursery and Pre-School Ltd 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 33 number of registered child places is 6.6, 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.
