Good experience but find new policy of temperature a bit strict when there is reasonable explanation I.e. Teething and then not allowed in the next day which is difficult when we both work and still have to pay etc


Otherwise happy

Review from Katie J (Mother of Child) published on 7 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is a fantastic nursery and the staff are excellent at what they do. As first time parents, we felt nervous leaving our little one in anyone else's care, however, watching our daughter smiling as we turn up to nursery and waving us goodbye shows us how much she loves it there, and that fills us
with so much confidence. We love that the staff provide us with updates on the activities our daughter has done throughout the day, and we especially love how inclusive the nursery is to everyone. As we are a vegan family, it was important that we found a nursery that welcomed this, and they certainly have and my daughter doesn't ever miss out.
Thank you to all the staff at Little Inspirations for helping our baby grow into the little person that she is becoming today xx

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has settled in well and enjoys going. Updates are great and put me at ease when he first started. The range of activities are great and varied. They carry out observations to let me know how he is developing and I really feel it's a great step before school.


The staff are great and take time

to welcome each child in the morning asking how they have been and generally interested. On pick up they take time to let me know how the day has gone. My son loves his key worker they have a great relationship already. Thankyou for looking after my little one

The nursery provides a safe and supportive environment, and I'm confident he's well cared for while he's there. The staff communicate well and keep us updated on how he's getting on, which is really reassuring. He's still finding his feet with the routine, but overall it's been a positive experience
and we're happy with the care he receives.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 1 year old daughter has been attending DVLA Day Nursery for several months now, and we couldn't be happier with the care she receives. All of the staff are kind, warm, and professional, it's clear they truly know and understand my daughter as an individual. She's always comes home happy and content.


The

environment feels safe, nurturing, and full of fun learning opportunities. We really appreciate the personal attention and genuine affection the team shows each day. I would highly recommend DVLA Day Nursery to any parent looking for a caring and supportive place for their child to grow and thrive.

My son's first time in an environment like this and he's doing brilliant thanks to the staff there! He's trying more foods and I love that we get updated on their day as it goes, as someone who gets very anxious to leave their child, knowing I can check on what he's doing when I want gives me peace
of mind. Staff I've met are lovely and always so happy. Definitely the best choice I've made sending him here!

My child has been attending DVLA nursery for over 3 years, we enjoy the safety and security the setting provides. The staff are supportive and friendly and care about the children. When our child was admitted to hospital for over a week the setting rang to show they were thinking of my little boy and
made him a card. He is very happy and loves spending time here. The environment at this setting is perfect for my child's learning needs and provides a warm and affectionate learning environment. I have recommended the setting to many friends.

I have two children in the DVLA nursery and the care and support they receive is everything I wanted for my children. The atmosphere and surroundings is based around nature and I love the amount of time they spend outdoors. They are always doing fun activities and my children have made great friends
whilst in the DVLA.

My little one is in the baby and Tweenies room. I have to say I don't normally rate top 5* however DVLA day nursery needs their biggest recognition! My little one has been going since he was 12months returning from maternity now my baby is 1yrs 10months and I have to say all staff and the caregivers
have been amazing from day one. Always amazing to see my little one's progress and achievements and the biggest bonus is having to see wonderful pictures on the app. I have a very clingy baby and drop off are not always easygoing. Staff are always there to reassure me if he's settled and sends me photos of his smiley face.
Forever thankful.

Review from Sara A (Mother of Child) published on 2 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son started at the nursery just over three weeks ago, and while the first few days were understandably tough for him (and for us!), the support from the team has been absolutely fantastic. The staff have been so patient, kind, and reassuring - not just to our little one, but to us as parents too.
I personally found the process of leaving him really difficult at first, but the way the staff consistently took the time to reassure me made all the difference.


It's been lovely to see how much progress he has made in such a short time. He's becoming more settled with each day and is starting to enjoy his time there.
The communication is brilliant - the app is super easy to use and we love getting regular updates, photos, and notes about his day. It's such a comfort to know what he's been up to.


Thank you for all the effort and support you do for us.

My daughter started early this year, the team have been very supportive during the settling in period, reassuring us when needed and making every effort to be flexible to her personality and routine. The app is very easy to use and communication is great.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.915)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.915) out of 10 for DVLA Day 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.915 for DVLA Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (281 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 307 Ratings = 4.915
  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 DVLA Day Nursery is based on 26 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 121 number of registered child places is 24.2, which has been reached with 26 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.
