Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff here are simply outstanding, showing genuine care and dedication to every child. Their level of professionalism and warmth creates an environment where children thrive. The facilities are top-notch, providing a safe and stimulating space for learning and play. What truly sets this nursery
apart is the level of individualised care and support they offer. Each child is treated with respect and kindness, fostering not only their academic growth but also their emotional well-being. Our experience here has been nothing short of wonderful, and we wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent seeking the best for their child.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has attended Little Trees Christ Church for nearly a year now and she loves it. She has formed some wonderful friendships there with both the children and the carers. The caregiving team is exceptional, providing a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities. Something that attracted us
to the nursery was the outdoor space. The team communicate with parents regularly via the app and something we like in particular is when a developmental observation is made and communicated to us with a video and pictures. We would highly recommend Little Trees Christ Church to any parent seeking a caring and supportive environment for their child.

We have been so impressed with Little Trees Day Nursery Christ Church. All the staff have been wonderful at helping settle our daughter in. She had never spent any length of time with anyone else before; her first day at nursery and all the staff have guided us through the process with such kindness.
I couldn’t recommend the team more.

Fantastic nursery with amazing staff. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. Our twins absolutely love going and love all their carers. Communication is second to none. The nursery overall feels very professional yet caring and nurturing for the children. I recommend Little Trees Day Nursery Christ
Church to all my friends who are looking at nurseries.

Dropping off your child for the first time will always be a strange mix of emotions. I couldn’t imagine dropping my daughter anywhere else, the practitioners are incredible! They truly care for the kids and their progression, and share wonderful stories of their day. This is the best decision we made
(and probably will ever make) for our child growing up.

The staff try to give parents as much information as possible about the time the kids spend at nursery. They do all sorts of different activities to engage and stimulate the little ones. I appreciate that they try to give the kids fresh fruit as a snack.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been overwhelmed by the standard of care at the nursery, the staff go above and beyond on a day-to-day basis. In addition to this, any other queries are swiftly handled by the management team who are always on hand in the morning to help settle the children in.
We are also extremely pleased
with the regular observation of our little one and the progress that he has made. What makes this place special is it feels like more than just a job for the staff, it feels like they genuinely care for the children and do everything they can. Outstanding.

The staff are extremely kind and friendly. I love that they too have children in the nursery. I like all the observation updates. My only negative is some lack in supplies. For example it would be great if more care was taken with the children’s clothes and things like aprons worn when doing painting
etc. apart from that we have loved Little Trees Day Nursery.

Little Trees are amazing. They really do everything for my child to feel good, learn and grow his skills in all areas of development. I also feel that I can raise any issue with the nursery and be heard, and they really will go the extra mile to address it. I'm very thankful to Little Trees.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was very apprehensive about our little girl starting nursery as she had been at home with us til she was two and a half due to Covid. When the time came, I knew Little Trees was the one for us. The staff are so engaging, friendly, kind, and caring and most importantly the level of communication with
us as parents have been second to none. The Famly app is great for seeing updates throughout the day and for reassuring us how she's getting on. They post lots of photos of their day and observations which are vital to see how she's progressing. I am so at ease while at work knowing she's safe and happy. She loves her key workers, and her friends there and especially enjoy the huge outdoor space. Our daughter has thrived in every aspect since being at Little Trees and I'm so grateful to the staff for helping her come out of her shell. We will all be very sad when she starts school in September but knowing Little Trees has given her all the skills ready for school makes us as parents feel relaxed.

Overall very happy with the care given to our daughter. She goes in happily and is keen to go off with her friends and the staff. The outside space is great and they make good use of it throughout the year. We are kept up to date with activities the group do as a whole but also individual feedback on
food she's eaten, nappies and developmental achievements that they have seen and are working on.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have two children at Little Trees Christchurch, our son who is four and in pre-school and our daughter who is two and in toddlers, both have been there from the babies department when they were nine months old.
We couldn't rate Little Trees Christchurch highly enough, the staff are fantastic, and
long-lasting and form real bonds with the children and parents. The facilities are excellent and they interact with the school providing music, drama and PE lessons to get them 'school ready'. Our kids love going to nursery/pre-school every day and that is a testament to the staff and management who care for them and look after them day in and day out, continually adapting and caring for their every need.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of our daughters have attended this setting since October 2022, and we are very pleased with their progress and care here so far. Staff are very friendly, welcoming and clearly passionate about what they do. We are kept very well informed about the girls day to day activities at the nursery, and
we have been very impressed with the facilities. In addition, we have been very pleased with the extracurricular activities they have been provided with. I feel confident and happy leaving my children here and know they have a great time. We are a vegan family, and the children's dietary needs have also been catered for very well. Management is very quick to respond to any queries or concerns as well, which adds to our peace of mind. Highly recommend.

Our child has now been there full-time for 3 months and was part-time for the previous 7 months. He really enjoys it there the rooms are modern well designed. The outside space is excellent especially in the Summer. The staff are friendly and informative letting us know exactly what kind of day our
son has had. The staff seem to work cohesively which has a positive effect all around.
The app is updated regularly throughout the day too.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.838)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.838) out of 10 for Little Trees Day Nursery Christ Church is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.838 for Little Trees Day Nursery Christ Church is calculated as follows: ( (312 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 370 Ratings = 4.838
  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 Trees Day Nursery Christ Church is based on 31 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 46 number of registered child places is 9.2, which has been reached with 31 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.
