We've had a truly wonderful experience with Little Avanti Day Nursery in Stanmore, and I can't recommend them highly enough. Our child has been attending for the past 15 months, and it has been an incredibly nurturing, supportive, and joyful environment from day one.
The staff are genuinely caring,
professional, and deeply dedicated to each child's individual development. It's been amazing to see how much our little one has grown-socially, emotionally, and academically-during their time here. The daily activities are creative and well-structured, and we've loved seeing the regular updates and photos of everything from messy play to early phonics and outdoor adventures.
Communication with parents has always been excellent, and we've always felt confident knowing our child was safe, happy, and well cared for. As we now prepare to say goodbye and move on to the next chapter (big school!), we are so grateful for the strong foundation this nursery has provided.

Little Avanti nursery is a gem. My daughter joined this nursery last year from another outstanding nursery as we moved to Stanmore. When I visited the nursery for open day we were amazed by the love and caring attitude and the beautiful setting of the nursery surrounded by green. What we had envisaged
during her admission, we have got more. I love this nursery for the following reasons:
1. Staff is very caring and shows genuine love for the kids
2. Elder kids support younger kids which is an amazing opportunity for kids to develop nurturing and leadership qualities
3. Food - no words - I couldn't have imagined my daugher getting such nice satvic food in London
4. Kids get to spend so much time in the nature which is so essential
5. They have weekly mindfulness and yoga sessions. My daughter teaches her grandparents these lessons on video call after coming from the nursery.
Most importantly, this nursery focuses on happiness and wellbeing and staff have a loving connect with kid.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter joined Little Avanti in Summer of last year. We had moved her from a different setting. It was the best decision we had made. I am incredibly happy with the care and environment provided at Little Avanti. All the staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely care about my childs development and
well-being. My daughter has flourished here, showing excitement each morning.
The nursery space is clean, safe, and well-organised, with plenty of resources and materials that engage my child. They are located in a recreational park which adds the aspect of being able to play and be involved with the outdoors and nature.
The staff take the time to communicate with me regularly about my child's progress, and I always feel informed and reassured. I feel comfortable approaching staff if needed.
Overall Little Avanti is a fantastic choice, I highly recommend it to other parents looking for a nurturing and stimulating environment.

It's been one year My son started Nursery we are very happy with the care and environment provided by this nursery. From the very beginning, our son settled in very well, and that is due to the high standard of care offered by the nursery.
The staff are not only professional but also genuinely caring,
responsive and attentive to our son needs. They are always available to address any concerns and keep us updated on his progress by the app. Knowing this gives us peace of mind. We could see lots of progress in his development since he started and that is due to the different activities they do daily at the nursery. He simply loves it!

Our son started at Little Avanti three months ago and we've seen significant growth in his development. Thanks to the exceptional staff and his wonderful peers, he has become more socially confident and independent. The staff truly recognise each child as an individual, offering tailored support where
necessary, which brings great peace of mind to us as parents. Our son enjoys exploring a wide range of activities, both indoors and outdoors and this has inspired him to engage in more diverse activities at home as well. He also relishes the variety of pure vegetarian food offered. It's clear he loves going to nursery, which speaks volumes about how safe, cared for and happy he feels there.

Our daughter has been at little Avanti for almost a year now. She enjoys her time there and we can tell this by the eagerness she has to go in and see her friends and teachers. She loves the outdoors and this nursery has a park at their doorstep where the children can enjoy a walk outside or even have
picnics in the summer months. The nursery staff have been very helpful during the settling period and are amazing with her as I have seen on several occasions. We have seen her grow in all aspects by playing with both children her age and older in a small setting.

The nursery staff have been amazing in settling our children in. They have given the children attention and support, and we can see how much our children have developed in regards to phonics, numeracy, behavior and relationships with their peers.
The indoor and outdoor setting is great. Having a park
just outside is very nice for the children, they can play on the swings and slides before and after their nursery session.
They receive healthy vegetarian food which they enjoy.
The nursery keeps us informed on a daily basis of key things that happen and we are welcome to attend concerts and celebrations.
The children are always eager to attend nursery and we know they are in a safe and engaging environment.

Our son has been at the nursery for almost a year now and we have very much enjoyed seeing him grow whilst he's been here. We love that all the to children are in the same room and they get to learn from each other in a smaller setting. The park and outdoor setting allows them to regularly explore and
we very much like that they go on trips to the country park, station, library etc and learn about the world around them. It is a lovely friendly setting. The nursery staff are all very professional, friendly, supportive and nurturing which allows our son to enjoy being in the environment. Even the staff who are not my son's key worker know so much about him and are always available to share feedback on his development. He comes home talking about the nursery teachers and activities he's done with his friends and really enjoys the extracurricular activities that are offered like yoga, learning Spanish and mindfulness.

Since enrolling our 2-year-old daughter at Little Avanti, we've seen her social confidence and playfulness soar. The teachers, in sync with our respectful parenting, create a nurturing environment. Its holistic approach, blending outdoor activities with mindfulness, fosters her well-being. The mixed-age
setting enhances her social and learning experiences. She eagerly looks forward to each day at the nursery, returning home happier with stories to tell. Regular updates ensure we're connected and informed about her progress. It's comforting to know she's in a place where she's cared for, educated, and cherished. We highly recommend Little Avanti for parents seeking a caring, educational, and loving environment, where children thrive, develop essential skills, and feel valued.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been very pleased with the care and attention that our daughter gets in the nursery. The outdoor learning concept is quite a unique experience for children. Having a playground, open area and lakeside nearby adds to the nature learning experience. We love the open area concept which helps children
of all ages mingle and play together. This has helped our daughter develop her vocabulary and communication skills. The children are given fresh hot food every day which is fantastic and are encouraged to explore different types of food. The nursery organises various celebrations like Diwali, Christmas, Eid etc where parents are invited to celebrate with children. The care and support received by the teachers and staff at the nursery have helped our daughter with her social and communication skills (including potty training and using the toilet independently). Overall, we have had a great experience and will highly recommend it.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.955)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.955) out of 10 for Little Avanti Nursery Stanmore 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.955 for Little Avanti Nursery Stanmore is calculated as follows: ( (147 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.955
  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 Avanti Nursery Stanmore is based on 13 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 32 number of registered child places is 6.4, which has been reached with 13 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.
