My son came home from this nursery with 2 head injuries which the staff was unaware of and the following day bruising to his side appeared. Staff lied in witness statements which were proven by CCTV and owners tried covering these lies also. Luckily my son is okay after his injuries but it’s a scary
thought to what could have happened. Emails from the nursery contradict what they are stating saying the room leader checked him thoroughly but she may have missed the marks?! He had a cut, scratch round to the back of his head, swelling to his ear and a lump on the opposite side of his forehead so if she had have checked him she couldn’t have missed it!
Reply from Linsi Tidswell, Director at Little Wellies Day Nursery BaildonThank you for your review. As you say the CCTV has been viewed and does show the room leader opening the door to the outside area at exactly the time of your son falling off his trike and going straight over to him to pick him up, along with another practitioner who was already in the playground and take him inside to be checked over. No injuries were seen by the practitioner at this time or noticed by your husband on collecting your son 20 minutes later. Both left the setting fine. In fact, your son was playing very happily shortly after the fall. Any bruising clearly came out at a later date, which can happen after a fall. We were very pleased that Ofsted looked at all the CCTV and written statements and was happy with our procedures. We are surprised to have received 1* for every area when you have been very happy with your son being with us prior to the fall. Sadly children do have accidents and we are very pleased that he is okay. We wish you all the very best.

My little boy started at Little Wellies Day Nursery in 2019. He had the most incredible experience and is now halfway through his first year at school. We are constantly told how kind and caring he is, something which we put down to the time he spent at nursery. My little girl now attends and she absolutely
loves it. The bond she has with the staff is incredible. They take the time to get to know each child - this is evident when looking at their learning journey. Regular feedback is provided and the staff put on open mornings several times throughout the year which are fantastic. It always feels like a home from home and is such a wonderful environment for any child to be in. I couldn’t recommend Little Wellies anymore- they are just fabulous!
Reply from Linsi Tidswell, Director at Little Wellies Day Nursery BaildonOur Little Wellies Way of promoting kindness and sharing has had a lovely impact on your son which is amazing to hear! Our team is incredible. Thank you for your lovely review.

A brilliant home-from-home childcare establishment. The new building offers even more space. Staff are hands-on with organising messy play, playing outside and writing lovely observations. We love all the staff, they work so hard and both of our daughters have felt very happy there.

I think Little Wellies is a truly fantastic nursery. All of the staff always pay attention to detail making sure my little one feels welcome from the moment she steps through the door. They are so thorough with their documentation which helps me know what she has been up to during the day! The staff
are so friendly and happy and my daughter is progressing so well now she's started nursery.

Everyone in the rainbows room is amazing with my daughter. She used to be apprehensive about coming to nursery but since moving to the new building she has loved it. She asks to go to nursery every day and has a wonderful relationship with all the staff. They have been especially helpful in encouraging
potty training with her. Would recommend Little Wellies to anyone.

We have been so impressed by Little Wellies over the last 18 months our daughter loves attending. Our daughter is quite fussy with her food which the staff at Little Wellies have helped and supported us with, by encouraging her to try different foods and creating a reward chart, which has been a great
help. It is a lovely nurturing nursery and we are looking forward to when our youngest daughter joins.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started at Little Wellies last week, she is three almost four and was very settled in her old nursery (we have recently relocated) and so we were worried about how she was going to be in her new nursery. Well, there was no need to worry at all! After day one she was quickly closing her eyes
at bedtime as she couldn't wait to go back the next day! She absolutely loves her key worker and talks about her all the time. We have been made to feel so welcome, the staff are lovely and tell you all about their day at pick up. Sounds like they have a jam-packed day of fun! Thank you Little Wellies for helping my little girl settle in so well and so quickly after our big move! The staff are brilliant and the office staff are lovely and very helpful too.

Little Wellies is a fantastic nursery! All the staff are friendly and welcoming and my son loves his time there. The children do many fun activities and there is a great outside space for them to enjoy. The staff take the time to get to know each childs personality and what they enjoy or don't and I
would not hesitate to recommend Little Wellies.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy aged three was a little anxious starting nursery (we’ve recently moved so it’s all changed). The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and have shown real care towards my son.
He’s settled in really well and he enjoys playing with the toys as well as the messy play. He loves the outside
space and likes the trips out to the park.
The management have also been great with me as I’ve had to sort bits and bobs out due to transferring from a different nursery. Nothing has been too small for them to sort out.


Highly recommend the nursery.

A wonderful home from home place for my sons. My eldest who has left has so many fond memories of the place and the lovely staff. I have a four year old son who is currently attending and he loves his days at nursery, as well as all the different activities such as looking after the guinea pigs. As
a mother, it’s so reassuring to know my sons are in a safe, homely and fun place that they both adore. I have also built bonds with the staff, the management and looking forward to my youngest starting at the end of the year. I also appreciate the owners who are always making improvements and investing in making the nursery a better place for the children.

Well, what can I say about Little Wellies? They're just perfect, my daughter started in Jan 2020 and she just loves it, the staff came to visit us at home so she knew them and we had various settling days until she was ready. She loves nursery and everyone, we go she puts her hand out for her bag and
toddles in. As a parent, this is so reassuring that she goes in and finds it safe and fun. She has some lovely attachments to the staff and the videos they upload to the private group are just lovely. They help me see what she does at nursery and how she interacts with the staff and the other children. I highly recommend this nursery and I have recommended to my cousin whose little girl is just starting her settling in days.

My son has attended Little Wellies for over a year now, the staff are truly amazing and do a wonderful job! Every day is different and he loves the trips to see the horses and the park! After lockdown, he couldn’t wait to get back and was asking every day if he was going to nursery which I think speaks
volumes as to how much he enjoys it! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Little Wellies, it’s a brilliant childcare provider and the staff have amazing bonds with the children, we’re always welcomed with a smiling face every morning without fail!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little girls have been at Little Wellies for over 2 years and love it. We chose it as it felt like a home from home rather than some of the settings that seemed a little stiff. We loved the baby room and her transition to the preschool room was very smooth. The staff in both the baby and preschool
rooms have lots of contact with all the children so by the time my little girl transitioned from the baby and tots for preschool it was very familiar and smooth. She goes in happily and comes home happy too, regularly messy which means she's had lots of fun playing and learning. Would definitely recommend it.

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. 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.
