Rookwood nursery has been great for our daughter. The consistent staff team are friendly, professional and caring. She's really enjoying the activities in the pre school room and the transition was really good.

We moved our daughter to Little Rooks Nursery in September 2024 and we think it's the best choice we could have made.
Her confidence has flourished. She's learning French and adores being able to explore and enjoys being outside so much. We really feel that this move will get her ready for her transition
to year R when she starts school next year.

A nursery full of teachers who do their best for our child. We are grateful to each and every one of them and happy that our paths crossed. They are all very friendly and kind.
We are happy that our child went to a nursery that helps and supports her to start her school and life journey with solid

I have been nothing but impressed with Little Rooks Nursery. From contacting them to viewing their nursery. They were able to get us registered and take my son at short notice. Since my son has been there (he started middle of February 2024) he has come on leaps and bounds with his talking. He had a
speech delay and could not put two words together until he went to Little Rooks. The updates are so nice to see all through an app, you can also contact the nursery rather than ring them they get back to you which is so easy. The staff and management are brilliant all so friendly, they keep you updated and ask questions if they would like to know anything. Also to add the food! I get to see the menu now my son is a bit of a picky eater but not here, he manages to eat all of his snacks/lunches etc and it is so nice to hear he has eaten everything. I am so glad I have put my son here.

We recently moved our daughter to Little Rooks from another nursery in the area and are really happy with our decision.
The staff are very engaging and professional and our daughter loves spending time outside and in her additional lessons.

We have been nothing but impressed with Little Rooks and the care our daughter has received so far.
Our intentions had been to place our daughter in a different nursery - the same our older son had attended.
However we moved home and that nursery was now a much further drive away so we just thought
we’d look at a few nurseries that were now in walking distance from our new home and so we considered Little Rooks.
Having loved our last nursery we had really high standards and expectations but the moment we looked around, we knew our daughter would come here. We were impressed by the setting as a whole and she loved her taster session, asking to go back the next day! She’s been wonderfully happy ever since.
She has fun, plays with her friends, is being stretched and looks forward to going every day. And as a parent, we can’t ask for much more than that.
Her teachers are knowledgeable and helped her settle in and I’m sure she’ll continue to love her time at Little Rooks.

I was very apprehensive about my son starting nursery but from the day we looked around I knew Little Rooks was right for us. It’s a small setting which was just what we wanted. All the teachers and classroom assistants are just wonderful. They are amazing with the children and my son has come on leaps
and bounds with his speech, communication and confidence since starting Little Rooks and I can’t thank them enough for the wonderful, attentive job they do there. They even got him to nap! Highly recommend this nursery, I can think of no faults!

Every nursery member of staff are amazing. We couldn’t be happier. We love that they have taken them out on school trips recently. The nursery always looks clean and activities are always set out for the day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our 3-year-old daughter attended Little Rooks Nursery for a couple of months in an interim period whilst we were moving house. She is naturally shy and can take quite some time to settle into new surroundings, so we were amazed at how quickly she took to it. The staff have clearly spent time getting
to know her and making her feel safe and comfortable. She skips into nursery in the morning and tells us all about her friends and the lovely activities they do - gymnastics, dance and football. We will be sorry to say goodbye.
Reply from Samantha Couch, Marketing and Admissions Assistant at Little Rooks Nursery - Rookwood School
Thank you for your kind words. We wish you all the luck with your move, your daughter will be missed at Little Rooks and we wish her all the best for the future.

My son went to Little Rooks from September 2022 until July 2023. My son loved his time here, all the staff were very friendly and caring. He enjoyed taking part in a large range of activities, his favourites were a visit from a bin truck and meeting some alpacas.

The staff and management at Little Rooks looked after our granddaughter and us (also through difficult times) with such incredible care and attention.
Our granddaughter thrived and enjoyed every day she was there- she was having fun while learning so much, which is so very important for our little
one.
She is a confident, bright young lady thanks to the staff and we feel assured, with their support, we have given her the best possible start to life and her learning.
Little Rooks is an excellent early years setting, we would recommend it to everyone, and we really cannot thank them enough.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.801)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.801) out of 10 for Little Rooks Nursery - Rookwood 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 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 4.899 for Little Rooks Nursery - Rookwood School is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.899
  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 4.902 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Rooks Nursery - Rookwood School is based on 11 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 61 number of registered child places is 12.2. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.2 = 0.902
  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.
