We couldn't be happier with the care our son receives at LGN. From every drop-off to collection, we are welcomed with smiles from the friendly, caring staff who always go above and beyond to ensure the children are happy and thriving. The nursery itself is wonderful, with beautiful rooms and outdoor
spaces, and we love that the children regularly go on walks to the library and even to visit the chickens. We feel so lucky to have chosen LGN and are delighted with the nurturing, stimulating environment it provides.

I spent a lovely 45 minutes at the organised play and stay with my granddaughter, who was very comfy in her surroundings and was happy to show me her lovely nursery. The staff were excellent with us, the grandparents, and were very attentive with all the children and clear with all instructions. I think
the nursery is excellent and would recommend to any parent thinking to send their little one.

I had a wonderful time at the grandparents' stay & play!
It was lovely to see the children & staff so engaged. The children were very comfortable having us in their play space.
It was a joy being able to interact with them and being part of their special time in nursery.

Our little one has been attending Little Grange Nursery for a year and a half now, and she has developed in leaps and bounds. The caring, nurturing environment feels like a second home and out child has thrived under the care of the nursery staff. Little Grange offers a variety of positive developmental
activities that are both engaging and educational. The facilities and outdoor spaces are top notch and beautifully maintained and offer plenty of opportunities for exploration and play, which out child absolutely loves. Thank you Little Grange, for providing such a caring and supportive space for our child to grown and flourish.

Some excellent staff at this nursery. My daughter is always happy to go into nursery every morning and I can go to work feeling at ease she is happy and well looked after. The outdoor space is excellent and forest schools are so much fun for the slightly older children.

What a joy it is to have our little one at Little Grange Nursery. Seeing him so relaxed and happy with the team gives us peace of mind to know he's not just being looked after, but cared for beautifully.
The way they observe his play and development is outstanding and very helpful for us to learn
what he enjoys most. Their calm environment encourages his curiosity and creates an environment where he's thriving!
We love that he's part of the Little Grange family!

My son is with Little Grange Nursery since September 2023. He previously went to an outstanding nursery and my comparison level was high. I was bit sceptical when I enrolled him as they were new but it was surprising to see how quickly my son settled. The staff is amazing, adaptable and friendly. They
are ready to take feedback and bring change. You can see they care. They proved themselves and got outstanding rating and I feel I made the right choice.

Little Grange Nursery is an outstanding nursery. It offers a level of care and attention that was beyond our expectations but is what makes it the wonderful environment it is! The facilities are exceptional. Our daughter loves her time there, and has developed - and flourished- since she joined.
The
staff go above and beyond to create a community and are heavily invested in the children - the variety of the activities, and day to day mean we know our daughter is safe and happy there, and crucially supported.
I'd recommend it to anyone.

Great location with wide ranging facilities. Often walking the grounds and exploring. Lots of variety of activities and regular visits to the library. Most importantly the staff are excellent and have a great bond with the children. Our child loves it, and that's a great sign it all works well!

We have been with Little Grange Nursery since it began. The nursery care staff have always been great, approachable, friendly, managing to accommodate individual requirements, etc and our children speak of them positively. The management have also been good at communicating and helping us plan around
changing circumstances (I have felt this has improved since they started too). The biggest win is the grounds that they have access to and the nursery does a great job in utilising them which is fantastic.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We started our journey at Little Grange Nursery for our daughter when she was 3 years old. Being a preterm baby she had milestone delays and I had anxieties about this. Staff at the nursery have done a remarkable job with our daughter. We have seen her grow from a small/shy child with specific needs
to a very confident/bright young girl. Her progression has been a true focus for all staff. Staff have been incredible in supporting her as well as supporting us (parents).
Staff as well as the office/kitchen are always happy to help and encourage every little communication with parents.
The app used is very useful for communicating/checking meals/activities.
Little Grange Nursery has access to a large outdoor space/forest school and daily activities planned for children are based on children reaching their best potential.
In short, we can't thank Little Grange Nursery enough for all the support provided throughout our journey and we feel it has been truly amazing for our daughter.

Our daughter has been at Little Grange since it first opened and she has loved her experience in each room so far. Staff are welcoming and accommodating; the facilities are excellent, the activities are well thought through to make it engaging and age-appropriate, Little people are encouraged to be
independent, whilst maintaining the highest level of care. Staff support the values of community and ultimately allow children to become wonderful people. I fully believe that my daughter is provided with the tools for her own success.

A really special nursery where children reach their full potential. We moved my son from a smaller setting to Little Grange and it has been a fantastic decision. The facilities are brilliant - access to the prep school grounds, forest school and so much time spent outside. The care of the children is
second to none and there is a genuine sense of passion within the nursery that everyone there loves what they do. The staff are hugely efficient and the communication is fantastic. Could not recommend more highly!

My girl had never spoken before joining Little Grange, and the staff have looked after her so well that she really enjoys going to nursery everyday. She has picked up a lot of English now that only been in for 6 months. Communication from the staff are great, we can see updates and photos everyday so
we know what the little one has been doing during the day. Staff are so friendly she loves every single one of them. The other kids seem to behave well as well. The space the kids can utilise is amazing, not just the nursery area but they get to go on walks within the school grounds. Oh, also the staff helped with potty training and it's amazing that after a few weeks, only my girl has removed herself from nappies!

We have been impressed with Little Grange since our first visit when I was still pregnant with our daughter. The nursery building and facilities are second to none and provide our daughter with so many learning opportunities every day. The staff are all incredibly professional and genuinely care about
the children's happiness and well-being as well as their learning and development.
Communication via the app is excellent - I particularly like the fact we can message her key worker just to check she's okay and also the fact it's updated with what she's eaten each day (which is always nutritious with a good variety of different foods).
Our daughter settled into Little Grange so quickly and genuinely loves going to nursery - other parents will know what a relief this is! Our daughter is thriving at Little Grange and we are so happy with our decision to send her here!

Little Grange is a fantastic nursery. My daughter has been there since its opening and she loves the setting, teachers and friends she has made. The regular observations of my daughter and understanding they have of her is great which enables her development. The regular communications and updates via
the app are much appreciated to keep us up to date on key information. I would highly recommend LG for a nursery setting that operates with a high standard and level of care.

My two-year-old daughter has been attending Little Grange since September 2023. She settled quickly and we have been very impressed with the setting and the care they offer. So much so that she now attends full-time. My daughter loves the activities and all of the outside space. She has lots of fun
with her little friends. The food is nutritious and varied. Their communication with parents is excellent with the app and regular updates are provided with pictures so we can see what she has been up to. Would not hesitate to recommend to others.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.891)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.891) out of 10 for Little Grange Nursery 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.891 for Little Grange Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (221 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 248 Ratings = 4.891
  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 Grange Nursery is based on 21 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 81 number of registered child places is 16.2, which has been reached with 21 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.
