Little Wellies Nursery in Baildon is a small, friendly family-run setting. They are based in a quiet residential area very close to the scenic Moors.

All their staff are Paediatric First Aid trained and highly qualified to provide the highest standard of care for your little one.

They encourage their team and children to visit the local areas and can often be seen in their hi-vis vests walking on the Moors or on the High street chatting to the locals. Outdoor play is of a high priority, after all, children learn best through play!

My daughter has been attending for almost a year, the staff are so friendly, the management also, sorting problems out!
My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since attending, and I couldn't have picked a more homely environment for her!
Staff are always updating us on her, how her development is
and what she has done throughout the day!
Would Highly recommend!!

My daughter has attended little wellies since April 2025 and I just want to thank everyone at Little Wellies Nursery for always making my daughter feel welcome, safe, and comfortable. It brings me so much reassurance knowing she is in such thoughtful hands. I appreciate the way you keep me updated and

On viewing little wellies the staff were very friendly and happy to answer all questions.
Since attending nursery from February 2024 our son has grown up leaps and bounds.
He is very chatty and interactive.
He loves his key worker amd all the staff at Little Wellies.
He does great activities inside
and out.
He eats healthy food and helps make it.
We have already filled the paperwork out to send our baby daughter there as well.

We could not be happier with Little Wellies Baildon! My son loves it - He’s come on so much since being at nursery and is constantly learning and developing. The staff are so friendly, nurturing and understanding. We know he will miss them so much when he goes to school in September. Thank you all for
taking such good care of him!

I can’t recommend Little Wellies Day Nursery at Baildon highly enough. It’s my first experience of nursery with my firstborn and they have been wonderful. Made my return to work so easy. The staff are great and my little one loves them. It’s so reassuring to know that he enjoys going to nursery and
all the activities they do but that they will contact me if needed.

Little Wellies Day Nursery has been, and hopefully will continue to be, a lovely place for our daughter to grow in the last year.
She has been in the Raindrops and Rainbows groups and her key workers and all staff are so caring and devoted and she talks about all of them. Her development is definitely
positive as a result of her time here.

Our little boy absolutely adores coming to nursery. Every member of staff is fabulous and welcoming on a morning. Every night when we pick him up he’s thoroughly happy.
Every interaction, every activity, every mealtime our little boy just loves.
His development and speech are coming on great and
that’s also because of the way he is interacted with at nursery.
Our little one could not be happier.

Little Wellies is absolutely fantastic. My son has just transitioned rooms smoothly with the care and professionalism shown by the staff. He loves all the activities he gets to take part in, especially water play, and he is excited to go to nursery in the morning.
Since attending the nursery he has

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has recently moved up from the toddler to pre-school room and although he initially missed the staff from his old room (whom he loved!), the staff in Sunbeams have helped him settle in. We're really impressed with the range of activities Little Wellies offers, including forest school sessions,
vegetable growing and bike classes as well as the usual arts, crafts and other activities most nurseries offer. They really go above and beyond to offer the children opportunities they might not get elsewhere and take them outside the setting. I also really appreciated their flexible approach earlier this year when I had to change our son's regular day due to recurrent hospital appointments.

My son has been at Little Wellies Baildon since he was 9 months old. He absolutely loves the staff, he has made great bonds with the staff and is thieving.
He never comes home clean - which I love, knowing he has had a fun-filled day.
Been creative and exploring the outdoors.
I highly recommend

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.942)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.942) 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.942 for Little Wellies Day Nursery Baildon is calculated as follows: ( (227 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 4.942
  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 20 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 20 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. The setting is large enough to be able to offer a wealth of activities, including walks to Baildon Moor and sessions with the Kixx Football Academy, whilst at the same time being small enough for all the staff to know all the children and families well. I’d love to have the opportunity to meet you, show you around and introduce you to our highly-qualified and experienced staff team.
