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 son has attended Little Wellies Baildon for over two years and really enjoys it. The staff are all friendly and knowledgeable and the setting is a home from home. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a well run, reasonably priced nursery who put children's needs first.

My son currently only attends one day a week but he has developed so much in a short space of time. He loves his time there, especially the food! Everyone knows what has been happening throughout the day and are all friendly and approachable.

Review from L B (Mother of Child) published on 11 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

Review from Michaela H (Mother of Child) published on 15 December 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son joined Little Wellies Day Nursery Baildon at the beginning of this year, shortly before his first birthday.
He settled in very quickly and loves everyone who looks after him. He shows this by giving cuddles to the ladies when dropping him off each day!
We are kept well informed of what activities
he has taken part in each day in the form of a daily sheet, which also notes what he has eaten.
We love seeing all the photos on the closed Facebook group, everyone is so smiley and happy!
Nothing is ever too much trouble for everyone at Little Wellies. We are so grateful for all their support.
It also goes without saying Little Wellies have handled the current pandemic excellently. Parents have been kept well informed of precautions put in place to keep everyone safe.
We are so happy we chose Little Wellies for our little boy, and would recommend to everyone!

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.
