My son started this nursery in Sept 2024, and we are so content and happy that we know we chose the right setting. The care and love I can see they have for my son is unmatched and he thoroughly enjoys going on his days. He comes home each week having learnt something new and he always talks about the
different members of staff! He absolutely adores them all.

The staff at Little Wings Big Dreams are amazing! My daughter has special needs and they were happy to take her without hesitating. They help her thrive day by day and we can see the difference since she started attending the nursery. She loves her nursery and opens a big smile when her key workers
collect her in the morning. I cannot recommend more!

Absolutely amazing nursery, it's the type of setting ive always wanted for my little one. Theyve become like an extended family and are there to watch my little one grow and develop and help along the way. I couldn't really fault them at all, they are constantly training the staff and giving lots of
opportunities.
Each child is treated individually and my little girl always has a smile on her face when she gets there in the morning and when she leaves in the evening which shows me everything I need to know about how amazing they are.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The nursery is great, they are very observant, ensuring the children are well cared for and creating learning through play. My child loves going to the nursery, her face lights up whenever she knows we are going to the nursery. She enjoys her many activities there, which we see through photos uploaded
and loves her teachers.
We know her love for nursery is great because she usually does not like being away from family. However, the moment she is let out of the car, She runs to the nursery's door, patiently waiting for it to open so that she can run in without caring who's in front or being asked to come in. You can also tell she has a special love for her teacher because she gives them a special big cuddle on arrival, which we don't usually get at home.
Overall, Little Wings Big Dream Nursery has been an exceptional place for our child.

Our daughter loves nursery, which makes dropping her off there much easier. She enjoys the wide range of activities during the day, as well as the opportunity to explore the outdoors and go on trips. She comes back with a plethora of new learnings that she's always eager to share.
The teachers are
wonderful, caring and very approachable. The nursery and staff have created a very welcoming environment.
Communication from the nursery is excellent. They've always let us know when someone at the nursery has a contagious sickness, any accidents and the Famly app is very useful for us parents to see how they've eaten throughout the day, and to easily contact staff members.
Couldn't recommend Little Wings enough.

Absolutely delighted with Little Wings Big Dreams Nursery. From the moment we enrolled, we felt welcomed by the caring and attentive staff. They truly prioritise the children's development, offering a wonderful balance of fun activities and learning opportunities. My daughter has grown so much socially
and academically and it's clear they love going every day. The facilities are clean safe, and filled with engaging toys and resources. Communication is excellent and I always feel well-informed about my daughters progress. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their little one.

Visited the nursery for a stay and play. I was very impressed with all the staff and activities available, my grandson loved showing us the things he had done that day and we were encouraged to join in with the activities that had been set for us.
Now he has turned 2 years old he has gone up into the
swans class, he looks forward to nursery and always walks out with a happy face at the end of the day. He is learning so much and likes to tell us all about his day at Little Wings Big Dreams Nursery.

Little Wings Big Dreams Nursery has really helped my daughter become more confident. She can be a little shy when in social situations but we have really noticed the change in her through her attending nursery. All the staff are doing a great job with the children in terms of care and also curriculum/development.
The nursery also does a lot of activities which involve the parents/carers which is a great way for the parents to see the activities that are being done at the nursery.

I was made to feel Welcome from the day I made an enquiry at Little Wings Nursery. You are made to feel like part of a little family and the Director/Staff keep you up to date through the day of activities and sleeps your child has had.
The staff are so caring and loving towards the children and put
my mind to rest on everything I needed to know and ask. I was reassured where needed and offered advice and options they could help with.
The nursery is well equipped, a nice soft play and garden area for them to explore also.
I would recommend this Great Nursery to anyone.

Putting your child into nursery and making the decision of where to choose is always a scary one. Since the first time we viewed Little Wings Big Dreams we were impressed and haven’t looked back since. We are very happy with the care our child receives. The activities they plan for the children are
carefully planned and thoroughly enjoyed. The attention they receive and level of care and support is brilliant and we have been impressed with the notifications and communication with us as parents. Thank you to all the team.

What a fantastic nursery! Staff are always friendly, welcoming and professional. Communication throughout the setting is flawless both among staff and with parents. There is always a wide range of activities and setups for my son to engage in and his never bored. I moved my son here from a well-known
chain nursery who were unable to meet his needs and it's the best decision I've made! My son is kept safe, his needs are met and he is happy to go to nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.942)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.942) out of 10 for Little Wings Big Dreams Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.942 for Little Wings Big Dreams Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (405 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 429 Ratings = 4.942

  • b) 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 Wings Big Dreams Nursery is based on 36 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 36 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Hello I’m Ruby! I am Level 3 qualified working towards my Level 5! I absolutely love every day that I spend working in early years and couldn’t be happier that I am part of the Little Wings family!

I believe that children develop best when they are in an engaging and stimulating environment, therefore it is essential for me to provide children with the opportunities to learn and grow to their fullest. I love planning for new and exciting activities as well as inviting children to take part in literacy based ideas that allow them to extend their vocabulary, imagination and creativity.

I was raised in a very loving family, surrounded by people who I knew supported and cared for me so it’s so important to me to ensure that the children I work with feel the same. Ever since I was a little girl, I always knew I wanted to work with children as I’d constantly play ‘schools’ or ‘teachers’ with my four siblings.

When I’m not at work I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, going for walks, trying new foods and shopping! I love spending time with my nephew and watching him grow and learn new things.
