April 20, 2021 at 12:00 amA corporate-owned nursery with a very corporate feel. Staff are inexperienced and do not always have the child’s best interest at heart. Activities are very limited and staff are not proactive what so ever. Very cold and impersonal feel to the place.

January 26, 2022 at 12:00 amWe moved back to the UK after having our daughter overseas. We were worried about how she would settle with so much change. However, we didn’t need to worry. Explorers 2 welcomed her with open arms and she soon felt very at home. She has now moved up to Explorers 3 and both sets of staff have been fabulous with their communication with us and care of our most precious little person? They are always open to new ideas and work incredibly hard. We are delighted with Little Trees Celtic Springs.

January 28, 2022 at 12:00 amTo put our first baby into a nursery was a scary and nerve wracking experience especially when we were not allowed to step foot into a nursery to have a look during lockdown but we trusted the videos and reviews, now I couldn’t be happier that we picked Little Trees Day Nursery Celtic Springs! I love the family app to get updates throughout the day and all the staff are lovely but some individuals definitely stand out above others. I feel like they are always trying to improve and go above and beyond to be the best nursery in the area, which I truly believe they are. I would highly recommend it to anyone!

November 3, 2022 at 12:00 amFantastic nursery and the staff have been amazing with both my children. My children have thrived in the nursery setting. They do so many different activities each day which are all age-appropriate and educational. It is hard handing your children over to be looked after by people you don’t really know but my children absolutely adore their nursery teachers. My eldest who is now in reception still regularly asks to go and see her teachers as she misses them.
Keep doing an amazing job Little Trees Newport.

November 3, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been going to Little Trees from 10 months old (November 2021) She loves nursery and in the last two years her confidence has grown massively, shes intelligent, funny, very bossy lol and is so independent, Throughout all the classes the staff have been amazing, so welcoming and absolutely wonderful with all the children in the class. I have recommended friends to bring their small children to this fantastic nursery

November 3, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter is currently at Little Trees, with our eldest having attended the nursery. The leadership team and caring staff at the nursery are excellent, understand the worries of parents and the needs of children, and they are always there to answer any queries and provide find depth feedback daily. The nursery has a lovely atmosphere that nurtures the growth and development of the children. I have always felt comfortable and safe leaving my children in their care. I would recommend the nursery without reservation.

November 3, 2022 at 12:00 amI am so pleased I have finally found a nursery my one year absolutely loves. From having a negative experience previously to now having such a positive impact on my one year old and myself, it’s such a great feeling to have. The attention to detail of the staff and interaction is amazing. I have seen such an improvement in my son’s development already. I couldn’t have done it without the support from the ladies from explorers 2. They are fantastic!

November 10, 2022 at 12:00 amAll the staff at Little Trees are wonderful. My son loves his time at nursery and has grown in confidence whilst attending. We are very happy with the level of service, and the mix of activities, we love the updates and photos. We would recommend it to anyone looking for a safe and clean environment where children can learn and play with genuinely lovely staff who take an interest in your children.

November 23, 2022 at 12:00 amThe nursery is fantastic, all the girls are very welcoming, I’m so grateful to you for your patience, enthusiasm, and passion. I really appreciate the hard work that is put into looking after my daughter. I want to express my sincere gratitude to all the teachers who have contributed to my child’s growth. I feel that my daughter is in really safe hands, she’s learnt so much and that’s all thanks to the girls who work here. I can’t remember all the girl’s names but they are all so lovely and have made me feel at ease knowing my daughter is looked after and her key worker really makes a fuss of my daughter which she loves, lovely little bond they have got that’s so nice to see.

November 28, 2022 at 12:00 amOur son started at Little Tree’s Day nursery when he was 10 months old, to say we were nervous would be an understatement. Our son is now 2 years old and runs into nursery without hesitation. The staff at the nursery are so welcoming and made myself and partner feel at ease through the whole settling-in process. Our first impression of the nursery was very positive – the nursery is open-plan and has such a homely feel to it.
The nursery uses an app – where we can access information on how our son has been throughout the day. The observations the staff complete on a weekly basis via the app are absolutely fantastic! It’s so lovely to have regular updates through pictures and videos of our boy having so much fun. It makes going to work that little bit easier. The nursery also has an onsite cook who freshly prepares all the food, the food is always varied, and my son always eats absolutely everything!
Overall, we would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.

March 9, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been in a few nurseries now due to moving areas and this has been one of the best! The staff are so caring and kind. They really get to know each child, and the parents. It makes such a difference dropping of your child knowing they’re in safe and happy hands.

March 15, 2023 at 12:00 amThis is a fantastic nursery. They provide a safe and happy place for children to play and learn. Having moved my son from a different nursery I was worried about how he would settle but with the help of the staff he settled quickly. It is clear to see that the staff want the best for the children. They are always happy to take the time to listen and help to reassure you whenever needed.

March 17, 2023 at 12:00 amThe nursery are so great with my little girl. She absolutely loves going in, runs over to the breakfast table every morning and even on collection she wants to show me all the toys she’s been playing with. We get a really detailed overview of what they have been doing through the day upon pick up and often get updates on the app with photos which are so lush to see! It’s so so reassuring knowing while I’m working, my daughter is in safe hands and the girls that look after her genuinely care about her wellbeing and development.

March 17, 2023 at 12:00 amCouldn’t ask for more caring and kind workers to look after my son. He struggles with drop off and everyone there goes above and beyond to settle him in quickly. They always do a variety of lovely activities, sending my son back with a goody bag of arts and crafts. There’s plenty of outdoor space (perfect for a high energy toddler) and they do “bear hunt” walks to the nearby lake.

March 17, 2023 at 12:00 amOur son has always struggled with going to nursery as it’s only one day a week but when he moved from Explorers 1 to Explorers 2 and got his key worker things changed massively! She was a wonderful key worker for him and he loves her! She has made his experience in nursery a very positive one and the nursery are lucky to have her! He is now in Explorers 3 and has been for a few sessions now and seems to enjoy it! Staff in Explorers 3 are building on the great foundation his keyworker has laid for him in regards to his experience. Thank you to all the staff and especially now in Explorers 3 for helping him transition into the new room successfully! It’s a lovely nursery and all of the staff are lovely, we love getting updates on the app so we can see what his day has been like ready for when he comes home. We especially love reading any observations they have. Thanks everyone!

March 17, 2023 at 12:00 amAll of the staff at Little Trees Day Nursery Celtic Springs are great. My daughter absolutely loves coming each week and has grown in confidence since attending. The staff carry out regular observations and I am always updated with food she’s eaten and what activities she has taken part in during that day. Looking forward for my youngest daughter to start next month and to watch her develop. Would definitely recommend x

March 20, 2023 at 12:00 amIt’s a big decision for a parent as to where their child should be cared for during the day whilst they have to work. During the past 3 years, our son has settled so well into each group, has held such affection for each of his carers that when we’ve spoken their names at home, his face lights up! We trust he’s in great hands, each carer has taken the time to know him and are able to work with his unique personality and needs, which allows us to go to work not feeling guilty for leaving him. We know that he’s having fun, interacting, eating a balanced diet and learning so much in the process. We’re amazed at how quickly he’s come along with movement, talking, numbers, alphabet, singing, painting and more, and a huge part of that is down to this nursery and the staff within. We have regular feedback in terms of our child’s development and photos throughout the week which we love! This nursery has been second to none in terms of the care provided! Highly recommended!

March 22, 2023 at 12:00 amFood for afternoon sessions is terrible, cheese and crackers, a wrap. These children need proper meals as after 6pm to have a proper meal is not really ideal for either the children or the parents. The food is really poor for the price you charge for a basic snack!

April 3, 2023 at 12:00 amOur little girl has been going to Little Trees Celtic Springs since she was 9 months old and absolutely loves it there and so do we. She has her quirks and challenges but the girls in every room she’s been in have been incredible with her. The fun and friendly atmosphere they create in there from the second you walk through the doors is lovely and the way they interact with the children and care for them is so nice to see – even giving them cuddles throughout the day.
We don’t have family/relatives close by so the girls really are an extension of our family and are a massive support to us as parents which we are so thankful for. I honestly don’t know how they do what they do so well when they have so much to do during the day and I don’t think they realise how important their jobs are to us as parents which makes them even more special in our eyes.
We’re so glad to have found Little Trees Celtic Springs and would just like to say a huge thank you to you all.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amHello all, just a heads up from one mum to another. We recently had to take our child out of Little Trees Celtic Springs as a dad physically threatened us and tried to start a fight on the nursery stairs of all places (in front of my child). Because there are no cameras the nursery hasn’t done anything despite this being a clear safeguarding concern. The nursery itself is great just be wary that they aren’t good at tackling aggressive parents.
Please note the manager is great, my low score is for her Manager and the senior leadership of Little Trees.
