September 5, 2024 at 6:42 pmWe moved our daughter from another setting and I was worried about how she would cope with the transition – but the team in adventurers were so calm, welcoming and reassuring that she settled almost instantly! On the move into investigators (Pre-school) my daughter struggled a little but again I can not fault the team with helping assistance that transition! The garden facilities are incredible! And resources/activities provided are there to ensure the kids are ready for school! Management are very approachable and no query or concern is too big or too small I sense listened to and not just brushed away! Remarkable setting! All team are extremely welcoming and helped my daughter settle well into childcare centre life.

October 5, 2024 at 3:04 amEach day is filled with unique activities, provided by people that really care about the kids. My kid attends childcare centre every day and has never had a day where he doesn’t run in to greet whoever answers the door. He has truly formed a bond with each of the carers.
They provide regular updates on the Famly app with pictures and information about what he has been doing all day.
They are currently undergoing redecoration and uplift which is making each room look like a fantastic place to playtime all day.
He eats a balanced diet each day, which he seems to delight in – he rarely leaves any of it.
The current management team are working hard to rectify previous issues, and I am optimistic the next Ofsted will demonstrate their hard work. The team at Little Trees are exceptional at their job.

October 11, 2024 at 7:52 amThe activities are incredible and well planned! I get two observations on my kid each week and they are so lovely to see.
Thank you to the incredible team at Little Trees, you’re all fab. This childcare centre has given my kid the best journey, my daughter enjoys going each day and loves the team.
The team are so loving and compassionate and have the best interest at heart for all the kids.

December 3, 2024 at 5:33 amThe team are lovely and clearly care very much for the kids and their happiness and wellbeing. They have a excellent outdoor space in which the kids delight in playing in all year round. Both my son and daughter attend Little Trees in Hucclecote and are both very cheerful there.

December 5, 2024 at 6:25 amThey do so many curriculum-based activities I really sense like they’re giving my kids the best start possible, especially with a view to being school ready!
Some of the spaces look a little tired but I’d much prefer this and my kids having a day of enjoyable and coming home covered in messy playtime and mud, rather than playing in a clinical setting where the paint on the walls is prioritised overplay and discovering!
Well done to everyone at Little Trees! You are all remarkable! I have two kids in different age groups attending Little Trees and I think it is an absolutely remarkable setting across the board.
All team are so bubbly and engaging, they really go above and beyond with the kids to give them positive interactions and a exceptional day.
I have comparisons with two other local settings and Little Trees stands out by far.

January 28, 2025 at 11:35 amUpdates is very great, and the team are welcoming and form close connections with the kids. I would suggest it. We have been using Tree Tops since 2014 and have consistently felt cheerful to send our kids.

February 4, 2025 at 4:36 pmWe get regular updates via the famly app along with a range of observations on my daughter. The team at Little Trees, are super welcoming and expert, they have the kids’s needs in their hearts at all time, whilst also being super welcoming to the parents.

February 7, 2025 at 8:27 amMy daughter has been going there since she was 9-months-old she is now three. All of the team are welcoming and welcoming, which really puts you at ease leaving your kid with them. They do lots of enjoyable activities with the kids and help them learn so much when they are there. They have a fab outside space for the kids with lots to do. I sense that this childcare centre really does go above and beyond for the kids in their care; I would highly suggest this childcare centre! Tree Tops is such a lovely childcare centre.

February 16, 2025 at 7:01 amNow in pre-school, the childcare centre has been outstanding in every way. All of the team during my kid’s time at childcare centre have been attentive and compassionate. They obviously work very hard to provide a secure and exciting setting, and the days are consistently structured well with plenty of activities going on. The team are welcoming and consistently show a keen interest in my kid’s development. The Famly app provides us with regular daily updates with photo’s, so we consistently know what our kid is up to.
The food has consistently been of the best quality, and through the updates, I can tell my kid loves all the food on offer. Feedback from my kid is consistently great and shows that this is the perfect setting for her to have grown up in as part of her weekly routine. The childcare centre itself is very well catered for. The outside space is very large with plenty of equipment for the kids to use. My kid has been coming to Little Trees Hucclecote since they were 7 months old.

February 24, 2025 at 12:32 pmAll the team are fantastic with him and really care about his additional needs.
We have regular meetings, and the team are so supportive. I am consistently kept up to date on daily activities and kept well-informed of everything going on within the childcare centre. My son has been attending Hucclecote childcare centre for nearly two years; he loves going to childcare centre!

March 24, 2025 at 10:41 amThe team at Little Trees are excellent, our little girl has created such a excellent relationship with all of them and enjoys her days there. They use the family app which is updated every meal time and we get sent photos daily, with individual observations too. A big thank you to the whole team at Little Trees for all you do. Our daughter has attended Little Trees since she was 9 months old now currently in her last year at the childcare centre before she starts school.

March 25, 2025 at 8:34 amThe team are compassionate and attentive, they consistently go the extra mile and keep the kids busy and engaged by providing a great variety of activities to assistance social skills, encourage independence and getting them ready for pre-school and beyond. We adore the regular updates on their day and would highly suggest this setting to anybody! We consistently sense at ease when dropping her off as we are sure she is going to have another incredible day! All team including the managers are compassionate, supportive and approachable, there is a excellent updates between parents and team. Excellent quality service, we are cheerful to be part of it. Our daughter has been attending Little Trees Day Childcare centre Hucclecote for about 6 months now and she absolutely loves it!

March 26, 2025 at 10:16 pmMy son was born at 26 weeks and as a result, is very vulnerable to winter germs and viral infections. All the team at Little Trees take this very seriously and go out of their way to protect him as best as they can when the usual childcare centre germs are doing the rounds. Before joining Little Trees my son was sensitive to loud noises, found public settings overwhelming and was not confident playing in groups. He has really come into his own since attending Little Trees. I have noticed a huge difference in him at home and whilst in a public setting.
As a mother of a vulnerable baby, I had a lot of worries about leaving him in someone else’s care whilst I went back to work. The Team made me sense at ease very quickly and have shown how much they truly care for the kids they look after. I really am grateful for all the team at Little Trees and in my opinion every member deserves a 5* review. My son has been attending Little trees for 4 or 5 months now and he has thrived in the setting.

April 2, 2025 at 2:44 pmShe has been here for about eight months and loves the outside space and all the activities they do. I sense like the team really know my daughter. There are daily updates provided on the app along with lots of pics. I especially like the handover at the end of the day as I really get a sense of how the day went. My journey has been a low turnover of team and I’m delighted I found this childcare centre for my daughter. My daughter has developed a lovely bond with a number of team, most especially her lovely ladies. My daughter absolutely loves it here.
Micah Grant
April 29, 2025 at 1:49 amThey have been very welcoming and the transition for him joining the childcare centre has been seamless. The level of care he has had during his varying level of development (he wasn’t crawling when he started) has been consistently supportive and encouraging.
We find the childcare centre provides a variety of activities throughout the week for the kids to get involved with, and heavily utilize the outdoor space on a daily basis regardless of the weather! Plus the use of the family app to keep us updated throughout the day about how he’s getting on with photos is outstanding. The food is nicely varied and they really follow any guidelines we’ve given with weaning or milk allowances.
The childcare centre is also very accommodating with changing of days or changes to our schedule even with last minute notice. We’ve never had an upset drop off which says it all! My son has been in Little Tree’s since he was 9 months old (now almost 2yrs old) and since our first settling-in session the team have been incredible.

May 4, 2025 at 10:42 amHowever, since management has changed at the childcare centre there have been noticeable staffing issues, with old invaluable members dropping like flies! This has left a lot of parents including myself feeling worried and anxious as a lot of the familiar faces have left. It appears little effort has been made by management to retain their existing team. In addition to this parents have been unfairly charged in full for childcare centre fees, whilst having to isolate for covid. This continues to be a point of contention. Our daughter has been going to Little Trees (formally another name) since she was four months old and I cannot fault the team, who have made her discovering journey an incredible journey.

May 19, 2025 at 8:30 pmI knew that Little Trees was the childcare centre for my toddler the minute I stepped through the door.
There is such a lovely atmosphere within, and the team are so welcoming and welcoming, yet incredibly expert.
The team make it clear that they are there for you as much as they are there for your kids, and I really liked that. My 18-month-old started at the childcare centre back in the summer, and I have to say, he is absolutely thriving at Little Trees.
The work the team put in is exceptional.
London Hunter
May 20, 2025 at 2:32 pmFrom the beginning I was put at ease, I liked the setup and there was lots of space to separate ages. The separate cot room was a big attraction for me as my little one was young and still having several naps when she started.
As time has gone on the team has been supportive and encouraging, also suggesting things to be trying to learn which as a first-time mum it is nice to gain from their journey.
The regular updates on the app have been reassuring throughout the day and the handovers are lovely. Although we have had a few different key workers we have had mostly the same team on the day we go so has been nice to be able to see my little one build up a relationship and sense comfortable with them. We have been with this childcare centre for about 10 months and they have been lovely.

June 2, 2025 at 9:24 pmI was not assured that his needs were understood sufficiently prior to his first day.
2) On three occasions, I was told that my kid had received food that did not meet his dietary/cultural needs meaning these were either not followed or were miscommunicated.
3) I was notified that my son had been picked up and removed from the childcare centre causing huge panic. When contacted, the childcare centre stated this was recorded on the wrong kid.
4) A team member manhandled my kid, forcibly grabbed his arm, shouted in his face, and attempted to snatch his comforter from him whilst he was upset. This was seen by a worker who had whistleblown. The childcare centre did not inform me of this for 6.5 hours and he was left there without a source of parental comfort.
5) He was unhappy, unsettled, and was distressed at handover. Since changing childcare centre, he is like a different kid. My 18-month-old attended for just nine weeks:
1) Forms completed prior to him starting including dietary requirements, were not shared with workers until prompted by me.

June 10, 2025 at 5:52 amThey have dealt with the Covid crisis really well, and it feels such a secure setting to leave our kid.
Our little boy has loved all the team, loves going, and loves the variety of activity and discovering provided.
Cheerful parents. Cheerful pre-schooler – who previously was a cheerful toddler and baby. Our son has been attending Treetops since he was 9-months-old.
We are really impressed by the professionalism of the team and the way they have developed our little one.
The admin is very impressive, there is a constant flow of information relating to the childcare centre, and our kid’s development.
