Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started attending the nursery at 10-months. I was quite nervous and anxious that it was going to take us a long time to get him settled. However, the baby room colleagues were amazing and got my son to settle in very quickly. He looks forward to going to nursery and has learnt so much in the
short space of time he has been attending. The staff are very friendly and approachable. They take pride in their work, and it can be seen as my son loves going to nursery and spending time with them.
Reply from Sheila Poinoosawmy, Owner at Little Pearls Nursery and PreschoolThank you so much for your review; we really appreciate your kind words! It has been a pleasure working and supporting you and your child, and we cannot wait for the rest of his journey with us as Tamba.

The nursery is really good, all the staff are lovely and friendly to talk to. I love when my child talks about nursery at home. The activities are really good and it helps them with their education all through play. Staff have also given ideas for activities to do at home with my child.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has started at Tamba Day Nursery and is in the baby room. His keyworker has been very helpful in settling him in the nursery. Tamba Day Nursery has a very friendly approach. The nursery is very clean and kept to a high standard. The rooms are very well equipped with many different toys for all
age and stages.
There is a range of different activities that go on during the day and show that the children are learning a lot throughout the day. I am very happy with the nursery and would recommend this to all my friends and family.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.708)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.708) out of 10 for Little Pearls Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 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 5.000 for Little Pearls Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 5
  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 3.708 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Pearls Nursery and Preschool is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.333
  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.
