Good environment, excellent for kids. All staff are very kind and lovely people. My child loves to come here every day and looks forward to coming.
The only thing I would love is, we should have the food menus like last year.
Overall, an excellent place for my child.

We were deciding between a few local nurseries and decided on Little Lionhearts Nursery School. All the staff members are amazing and really hands on and support the learning needs of each child. Our daughter had initial struggles settling in, but now loves it and has warmed towards the staff and enjoys
going in and being creative. Has a lovely small courtyard for outdoor play. We always look forward to the daily update on the app as to what our daughter has eaten, as she is picky eater and have found she eats a lot more around her age group and with the encouragement from her teachers. Thank you Little Lionheart for all your hard work on a daily basis. Highly recommend if your in Sudbury Hill and Harrow area.

I am so pleased that I chose Little Lionhearts Nursery School for my son. The staff have created such a warm and welcoming environment for the children. The staff are truly incredible and I am confident that they are providing the best opportunities for my son. I greatly appreciate all of the feedback
that I receive on a daily basis and I am blown away with the progress he is making during his time with them. The communication is excellent and there is a great choice of food. I am particularly grateful to the Baby Room team for their love and warmth.

The third nursery I looked at and I was sold on seeing how warm, hands-on, engaging, welcoming, nurturing, and loving the staff were to the little ones. Little Lionhearts adapts to every child's needs and development path and I can already see changes in my baby's social and eating habits. The daily
feedback is invaluable and updates via the app are so helpful in ensuring parents stay involved.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been taking my daughter to Little Lionhearts since July of 2021. There have been massive improvements since then and they have not stopped improving. My child knows all her teachers and talks about them every day! The teachers here have given my child a second home. They are all friendly and
care a lot. The team have been such good influence. The manager and her team have turned this place absolutely worthy of their Ofstead score. I am so sad that my daughter is graduating this year because she will miss this school and so am I. Their education program is better than high-end schools out there. This school is much more than that. For example In the beginning my kid could not write her name and struggled with composing full sentences. Now, she can write her full name, her vocabulary and grammar are so good and she is able to write and memorise the alphabet and numbers and so much more. That’s just a mere fraction of what the school has done. Thank you for everything!

My son started the nursery when he was one year old. Being a covid baby he had hardly met anyone apart from me and my husband, so it was a major change for him. But from the very start the staff has been very supportive and understanding on how much this pandemic has impacted the children, and I think
as a parent I had more separation anxiety in leaving him behind. But the staff was always happy to reassure me over the phone or chat and update me on how he is doing. Now six months down on majority of the days he is more than happy to wave me good bye and start his day at the nursery.

Our child started at Little Lionhearts Nursery School when she was 11 months during the challenging times of Covid. It was difficult for us as parents not to know much about what was happening within the nursery but our child has always shown a lot of enthusiasm going there. We even sent our preschooler
for the holiday from time to time and he was also very excited to return. The staff are welcoming and care so much about our kids that it is impossible not to feel in good hands. Even during the Covid lockdowns, they've managed to keep their doors open and have offered an environment as safe as possible for children and parents. We're now moving out and need to change nursery but our child will miss Little Lionhearts Nursery School very much. It was her second home for sure.

So impressed with Little Lionhearts Nursery School. My son started in February and from the get go they have been absolutely fantastic. Their settling in process is unique to other nurseries and settings I have experienced, they tailor it to the needs of your child for example, increasing hours when
the child is ready, allowing parents to wait during these initial sessions and answering all the questions that come with starting at a new nursery. All the staff are extremely tentative and kind to both children and parents. I have found each and every member of staff to be positive and enthusiastic. Daily updates on the app make for a really good connection with the nursery and your child, I love being able to see what my son has eaten in the day and what was in his nappies! Makes such a big difference! My child is vegan and they have been completely supportive and have provided excellent meals for him. They also include development updates regularly. I can’t recommend this nursery enough.

My son started at the nursery for his settling in this week and where other nurseries I felt uneasy, at Little Lionhearts I knew he was instantly happy and ready to go. He came out smiling and waved bye to the staff where other places he’s come out crying.
The staff are so bubbly and friendly, I love
coming to drop off and pick up and wish I could just stay for the whole day, lol.

So far our experience of Little Lionhearts Nursery has been wonderful. The staff are consistently kind, helpful and understanding. The nursery manager is very flexible and sympathetic to the life of a mother that works shifts and tries to be as accommodating as possible.
The food is excellent, nutritious
and cooked on site. Furthermore, the use of the Blossom educational app to communicate to parents about their child's wellbeing throughout the day is excellent.
My 10-month-old daughter has already begun to learn and exhibit new skills and seems very settled despite only commencing in the past few weeks.
I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone wanting a safe, enjoyable and encouraging environment for their child.

My child has been attending Little Lionhearts for 10-months, and I have seen amazing development from him; he's more confident, and language skills have improved. He is always excited to go to nursery, and I pick him up with a smile on his face. The staff are very welcoming and kind. The nursery is
run to a very high standard, it is clean and safe with a beautiful garden. There is also a chef who prepares food from scratch on the premises. I am very impressed and happy with Little Lionhearts and would recommend it to other parents.

I always feel comfortable and safe leaving my 3 years old daughter with the friendly staff. We moved 12 months ago from Romania and they made the transition very easy and supported. We took a long time to find the best place for her, considering all the changes she's been through, but as soon as we
saw the rooms, the staff and the joy the other babies had on their faces, we knew that this is the best place for our daughter.
The nursery manager and her team of exceptional staff, from day one, have provided great communication and made my daughter's journey joyful, fun and exciting.

Wonderful place for your little ones to learn and grow. Our son has been going there for nine months now and we could not be happier. It was his first time at a nursery so he was obviously a little scared for the first few times, but they looked after him and he clearly has a great time there, as now
he doesn't even stop to say goodbye to me as he runs in when I drop him off. Highly recommended.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.569)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.569) out of 10 for Little Lionhearts Nursery School 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 18 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 4.917 for Little Lionhearts Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (198 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.917
  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 4.652 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Lionhearts Nursery School is based on 18 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 138 number of registered child places is 27.6. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 27.6 = 0.652
  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.
