We absolutely love dropping Abigail off at nursery, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Abigail's face lights up when she sees everyone and is so happy to go. I love the social media updates of everything they have been doing. She has tried lots of different foods here as well.
Reply from Linsi Tidswell, Director at Little Wellies Day Nursery BaildonThis made me smile. How lovely to read and we love that Abigail loves the varied menu on offer. Linsi

All of the Little Wellies staff are so friendly and caring. The activities the kids do and adventures they go on are very engaging and matched well for their age. Our children have loved going into nursery. The staff are always welcoming, making them feel at home.

Our little boy has been coming to Little Wellies for just under a year, and we really can't fault it. The staff take the time to understand his personality and help him enjoy every moment he spends there. Brooke and Grace have been brilliant with him, as have all the other staff

We have been delighted by everything Little Wellies has provided for us. Molly, our second child has fully settled into life at Little Wellie's and has shown great fondness towards Abi as well as other practitioners in her room. Thank you for being such a kind, friendly and professional nursery for
our children.

Our son has been attending Little Wellies weekly for almost 3 years since the age of 1. In this time the nursery has provided an excellent service and support to our busy lives, and have often provided care at short notice when our plans have changed. Our son loves going to see his friends, key workers
and doing all the activities; where we get regular reports on his time and interactions with the others and how he's developing. We will definitely be sending our new born soon following our positive experiences.

Our son joined Little Wellies just over 3 months ago and is loving Sunbeams. The whole team are so friendly and fun, it is clear they not only love their jobs but are also incredibly skilled at them. We can't thank you all enough for helping our little boy settle in so well. We love the updates at
the end of each day and the regular pictures!!! It's clear the kids are having so much fun!!!! Thank you Little Wellies.
Reply from Linsi Tidswell, Director at Little Wellies Day Nursery BaildonThank you for your lovely review. I note that you gave 3* for the food/nutrition. A great deal of care and time is put in to planning the meals to meet all government guidelines and our in house cook cooks freshly each day. We would love your feedback on how you feel this could be improved, as we are always happy take comments on board. I'm so pleased that you are happy with the care your son receives and I agree the children have lots of fun each day. :-) Linsi.

Our son loves Little Wellies. He barely looks back when we leave him on a morning and is full of chat and praise for the staff when we pick him up, telling us all about his day and his friends. I'd love a more digital approach to hand overs and organisation but appreciate that the reasons behind this
have previously been explained. When our son is happy, we are happy so we would recommend Little Wellies to local families.
Reply from Linsi Tidswell, Director at Little Wellies Day Nursery BaildonThank you for your lovely review. As you say, we have always remained a none digital nursery, as we feel that this takes away time with the children and they deserve the full care and attention of the practitioners, rather than being on iPads during the day. However, we do give a handover each day and maintain our open door policy for any parents who would like extra time to catch up. I'm so pleased you and your son are so happy . Linsi

Little Wellies Baildon is a great little nursery based in the heart of Baildon. It is very handy as it is so close to where we live making pick up and drop offs a breeze. The staff members are all very welcoming and informative about what my child has done throughout the day. They do lots of activities
with them which is very nice to see. All the food is freshly made too by their chef which is excellent. The nursery is a very friendly and warm environment.

Great set up at Little Wellies Baildon, bit daunting for both us and our daughter when she started nursery at 9months but the team were brilliant!

My little boy has attended little wellies since I returned to work after Mat leave (9 months old). He is now 3 years old. During this time, there has been changes in staff members (as expected in a small business over years) but the staff have always been brilliant (each and every one of them). The
team leaders and management has been consistent and it's a well run team. My little boy has always enjoyed attending and he has progressed so much. I find there is a good range of activities and learning opportunities.

My daughter has attended here for the last year and always goes running through the door with excitement, pulling her coat off before she gets to her nursery room. She has formed several close friendships but enjoys playing with all the children, and taking part in all the activities on offer. All
the staff (including management ) have formed great bonds with her and often share amusing stories of things she has done throughout the day. It has been amazing to see all the ways in which my little one has developed and all the new skills she has learnt so far.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.906)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.906) out of 10 for Little Wellies Day Nursery Baildon 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 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.906 for Little Wellies Day Nursery Baildon is calculated as follows: ( (353 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 384 Ratings = 4.906
  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 Baildon is based on 32 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 32 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.

Hi, my name is Sarah and I am the manager of Little Wellies Baildon. I love running this friendly, welcoming and vibrant nursery in the heart of Baildon village.

I’d love to have the opportunity to meet you, show you around and introduce you to our highly-qualified and experienced staff team.
