Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery was quite a discovery for us. We needed a place urgently, and we were very lucky that they were able to accommodate us.


When we first started, it became clear that my baby found it difficult to settle, as she didn't want to leave her mum. However, the staff were incredibly kind, caring,

and supportive, and they really helped her adjust and feel comfortable.


What surprised me the most was how quickly she started picking things up. Within the first week, she was already coming home with new words and constantly asking questions about everything around her. She also eats much better at the nursery than at home, which reassures me that she is happy and enjoying her time there.


Overall, we've been attending for the past three to four months, and our experience has been great from the very beginning.

Reply from Monica Kumar, Nursery Manager at Little Oaks NurseryThank you so much for your kind words, we are so happy that your child has settled so well and enjoying her sessions at nursery.

We are very happy with the nursery and the care our son receives. From the very beginning, the staff have been welcoming, kind, and attentive, which made settling in much easier for both him and us. It's clear that they genuinely care about the children's well-being and development.


The environment

is safe, clean, and full of engaging activities that support learning through play. We've noticed a big improvement in our son's confidence, communication, and social skills since he started.


Communication with parents is also excellent we are always kept informed about his progress and daily activities, which gives us great peace of mind.


Thank you to all the wonderful staff for their dedication and hard work. We truly appreciate everything you do and would highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

When Little Oaks opened in September, we faced the dilemma of moving our daughter from a nursery she was happy at, but which was much further away. Logistically, Little Oaks made more sense for our family. I shared my hesitations with Monica, the nursery manager, who couldn't have been more understanding.
She kindly arranged for us to visit and for my daughter to have a play date, and I was amazed at how comfortable she felt so quickly.
Moving her has been one of the best decisions we've made. She is so happy there and the staff are all incredibly kind and caring. Communication with parents is excellent, which gives us real peace of mind.
The activities are fantastic, with wonderful enrichment opportunities and a brilliant outdoor space where the children can explore and play.
My daughter talks so fondly about her day and even says her key worker, Carol, is her best friend!
It's every parent's dream wand I couldn't recommend Little Oaks more

My niece has attended Little Oaks for the last year and during her time at nursery I have seen her flourish. She has always been a confident little girl but I have seen her development and socialisation skills are improving all the time since starting. I drop her off on a regularly basis and she is
always so happy to run through the door and see her friends and nursery teachers.
Such a wonderful nursery!

We are very happy with the nursery and the supportive environment the staff create for the children. Our daughter has really enjoyed her time here and looks forward to coming to school every day. It's lovely to see her learning early maths and language skills, while also being exposed to a range of
extracurricular activities such as yoga and gymnastics. We also appreciate how the nursery celebrates festivals and cultures from around the world, which helps broaden the children's understanding and curiosity. Overall, we've seen great growth in her confidence, learning, and social skills.

I don't know where to start from. I can not praise this nursery enough in words. Starting from the nursery to the staff. Every single person is amazing. I did not ever imagine my daughter would settle so soon. When she started she would cry from home all the way there I thought there is no way this
is going to ever work. But after a week you would not believe it she walks in like she doesn't even know me. Not only that the manners she has learnt from her being confident. It's all like a dream for me. All i would like to if anyone is considering please go and look for yourself and you will know.

My daughter and son have been attending Little Oaks Nursery since September 2025, and we have been incredibly pleased with our experience. The standard of care, the commitment of the staff, the excellent facilities, and the wide range of learning opportunities are all exceptional.
Both children truly
enjoy going to nursery and are clearly very happy there. They always look forward to the trips and activities that are organised. My daughter especially loved the pantomime in December, and both children were so excited before their visit to the local care home.
The staff are consistently attentive, warm, and friendly, and they provide detailed feedback about each day. The learning programme is well planned and effective, and I can see the positive impact it is having on their development. The food menu is balanced and nutritious.
I would highly recommend Little Oaks Nursery to any parent seeking a nurturing, engaging, and supportive day nursery environment!

My daughter has been attending the nursery for the past six months and has settled brilliantly into the environment. She has gained so much confidence since joining, which has been wonderful to see. The teachers are fantastic - warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children. It's been lovely
to watch how easily she has bonded with each member of staff.
I really appreciate the daily updates from the teachers about her day at nursery. It's reassuring to see what she has been doing, learning, and enjoying.
The nursery has access to beautiful outdoor areas around the school, and there's a strong emphasis on nature, which my daughter absolutely loves. They also offer a great range of extra-curricular activities that keep her engaged and excited to go in each day.
I'm really pleased with the care, support, and experiences the nursery provides. Highly recommended.

Where do I start?! Monica and the team at Little Oaks have put every other nursery we've been to, to shame. They are the kindest, warmest ladies with a genuine love and care for every child that comes through the door. My littlest started here in January and has come on leaps and bounds since joining,
from sitting unassisted, extended tummy time (which she hates doing at home!), has progressed really fast with weaning and eating more solid foods. We are constantly updated with our girl's progress throughout the week and the kinds of activities she has done, and when ever we have had any form of question or request, it has never taken longer than 20 minutes for a response from one of the team.


My only regret? Not sending my eldest here! Both my husband and I are so impressed with level of care and detail that has gone into this nursery, and we are excited to see our little girl continue to flourish!

Couldn't recommend little oaks any more!


Our daughter started at 9 months old and the progress she made under the care and support of Laura and the team has been amazing.


They're always keeping us dated, have excellent communication and keep the app up to date, which is something really important

to us. They also are incredibly supportive, flexible and understanding - which really helps.


We've been to 4 x different nurseries over time with our other daughter for a number of reasons, relocation, costs etc - but little oaks is the absolute stand out winner.

We moved our 2 year old from another setting in September last year. She was really not enjoying nursery at the previous setting and was constantly upset but since moving her to Little Oaks she has flourished. She's so happy going into nursery, her confidence has grown so much as well as her language
skills. She tells us about her day and tells us the things she has enjoyed doing. The facilities and range of activities are brilliant, with all different interests catered for.
All the staff work incredibly hard and are always so welcoming. They all care for the children which is very clear.
Overall we are very happy with our daughter's progress at Little Oaks.

We couldn't be happier with our decision to send our child to Little Oaks. The nursery has great facilities that we can't wait to see our child enjoy as well as the activities they organise. From the first few days the team made our daughter feel safe and welcome, they took the time to ask questions
about us all and our/her preferences. Laura and Kiran have fostered a wonderful bond with her and even though she was nervous to begin I could tell she felt comfortable which is all you can hope for. Laura and Kiran have always been brilliant with keeping us updated with how she is getting on. Jae has settled in so well and now happily waddles off each morning, which says everything we need to know. I love the photo updates on the app & seeing what she gets up to. The staff are warm, caring and genuinely invested in the children, and we love seeing how much she's learning and growing already. Thank you for creating such a nurturing and positive environment for our little one

We've had a wonderful experience with Little Oaks. Previously our child struggled at a different nursery but they adjusted to Little Oaks and there was no tears by day3! The ladies work really hard to make us feel secure by informing us of how our child is getting on and making tailored activities for
them so we know they are engaged.
Our child has also exhibited increased confidence since starting.

We moved our son to this nursery in November 2025 from another setting where he was very settled, so I was naturally nervous. The team made the transition incredibly smooth for us. He settled in straight away and is always happy to go in, speaking so positively about his day.
The environment is warm,
caring and nurturing, and he has truly thrived. The developmental progress we've seen in just a few months has been amazing and is a real credit to the staff and his key worker, who tailor activities around his interests.
The pre-school has developed into such a lovely well thought-out space, and access to the large outdoor area is a huge bonus. They balance fun with structure, helping to prepare my son for school. He especially enjoys activities like PE which have really helped build his confidence and independence. He's loved the trips out too, especially visits to a local care home to spend time with residents.
Overall, a genuinely positive experience and we would highly recommend.

As first time parents to a then 9 month old baby girl, me and my wife were nervous about taking the plunge in to child care for out little one. We stumbled across Little Oaks and arranged to have a visit. As soon as we were greeted and shown around the facilities we knew it was the one for us. Fast
forward 2 months and we could not be happier with the phenomenal care our baby receives. She has come on leaps and bounds, learned a host of knew skills and grown in confidence so much. We adore the staff and the bonds that our little one has developed with the team are truly heartwarming. I honestly could not recommend Little Oaks enough, they truly are exemplary. 5 stars!

When searching for nurseries, we were very specific about the care we wanted our daughter to have. With starting nursery at 6 months, we wanted to ensure she got the right attention, care and support for her age, and Little Oaks had exceeded all those expectations.
Since joining, we have seen such
incredible growth in our daughter, physically and emotionally, a lot of which we put down to the care she has received, with her key worker coming up with specific activities to aid her development.
The nursery has also been great at supporting us through our weaning journey, and we have seen significant changes in our daughter's interests in food recently, with her eating a wide range of foods.
Lastly, the staff, her key workers, & nursery manager have been amazing. They all treat her with so much care. My daughter is so smiley and happy whenever we drop her off and have no concerns that she is well looked after by them all. She truly has formed a great bond with them all!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.742)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.742) out of 10 for Little Oaks Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.742 for Little Oaks Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (308 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 357 Ratings = 4.742
  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 Oaks Nursery is based on 28 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 28 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.
