Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started at Little Jewels Nursery recently, and we couldn't be happier.
Her key worker, Amara, is incredibly caring and has become such a joy in our lives. All the staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely loving toward the children.
We get great daily feedback, and they are very flexible
with food needs, helping children transition to new tastes and textures.
Hygiene is excellent, with regular handwashing, clean faces, and timely nappy changes.
The activities are thoughtful, varied, and changed daily, with lots of outdoor play and weekly extras. The environment feels safe, homely, and engaging.
After a difficult experience at a previous nursery, Little Jewels has been a breath of fresh air.
We are so grateful to have found them and couldn't recommend them more highly.

Little Jewels Pre-School is such a lovely setting and I couldn't be happier with the care our 15 month old son is given. It is our fourth child and it's certainly the best childcare setting for such a young age we have come across in north London. True that the premises and outdoor area may not look
state of the art compared to some of the more expensive nurseries in the area. I doubt that is something our young children even notice or value compared to the love and care of the staff and fun environment it offer for them. The management are professional and friendly and it's so nice to know that they have been there for a long standing time.

We couldn't be happier with Little Jewels Preschool! From day one, the team has been incredibly caring, supportive, and attentive to our daughter's needs. She absolutely loves going in every day, and it's amazing to see how much she's thriving - from her social skills to her confidence and development.
The
staff create such a nurturing and engaging environment. It gives us real peace of mind knowing she's in such safe and loving hands. A huge thank you to the wonderful team for everything you do, we feel so lucky to have found this creche!

Is been since last year my child is attending Little Jewels Nursery and was the best choice ever. He is getting to be more confident, developing his communication skills and being independent. All the staff are well prepared and show a good attitude, a positive communication and helpful for children

Little Jewels Preschool is such an amazing nursery; my son walks in happily every day and is smiling when I pick him up. The staff are kind and thoughtful and go above and beyond, always organising fun activities for the kids indoors and taking them outside whatever the weather. It's like a home from
home, and the kids are really loved and looked after. It feels like they really know my son, and celebrate in his every day small achievements. The communication is great, and everyone there is so supportive and helpful.

Little Jewels is a great nursery and my son loves going there. The staff are really great with the children and support their growth in many ways. Our key worker is very engaged and our little boys absolutely loves her! The outdoor space is brilliant for the kids to run around with lots of engaging
toys and play equipment, over summertime they grow vegetables which really engage the kids as well as having a sandpit and kitchen for role play. Little Jewels has a lovely feel and we are really happy with it.

We have been sending our eldest to Little Jewels for a year before starting reception, the care and love put by the staff made her more confident in her social skills and loves to attend. We have made the decision to send our youngest next year as the care for children of all ages is exceptional, they're
not just watched but cared for.

Wonderful nursery. The staff have been great, really supportive of the kids and their development. Great management too - really lucky to have the manager there. The key worker system is great and we've felt very fortunate to have some lovely people working with our kids. They also do regular local
trips out, have invested in some lovely equipment and outdoor toys, and overall our kids have just had a great time with Little Jewels.

Our son loves attending Little Jewels. Above all it is a happy nursery. The staff clearly enjoy looking after the children and they do an amazing job. We felt well supported through potty training and helping our son learn to share toys. Our second has just arrived and we will be very happy to send
him to Little Jewels when the time comes!

Little Jewels is a great nursery - my older son was there for 3 years and my youngest has been there for 1.5 years. The biggest plus for me is the care - the staff are extremely warm and create a loving and safe environment. The activities are varied, with lots of learning and creative play plus they
often take the children out to the library, nature reserve etc. I feel like they are always thinking of additional things to enhance the experience. The playground is also great now too after it’s make over last year!

My daughter has been attending Little Jewels Pre-School since she was 1.5 years old. She absolutely loves it there and she adores the staff. My daughter has several allergies, however, the nursery handle this very well which has allowed me to be at ease. My daughter loves the activities that her teachers
set up for her and the other children throughout the week, and she always has lots to tell me about her day at nursery on the way home.

My daughter just started attending the nursery and the staff have been amazing. Even after only a few months, there has been a marked improvement in her development, she has become more independent and is able to sit and feed herself as well as engage with 'tidying up'. The staff are friendly and are
always available to support when thinking about the next steps of her development.

We love Little Jewels Pre-School. Staff are super friendly and they look after our child really well. He actually looks forward to going and talks about the staff when he is home. The nursery offers a friendly and efficient service. Things keep running whether it's been snowing, there's a rail strike
or a pandemic! They have invested in a new surface to the play area outside which has made it much more kid-friendly.

Review from James R (Father of Child) published on 21 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been at Little Jewels since she was 1 year old (she's now 2.5 years old). We've never had any concerns about her happiness or development there - she's really taken care of by a brilliant team of staff. Her primary carer is her favourite person in the world outside of her family and
she loves and trusts her completely.
The outdoor playground area has been upgraded while we've been there, which is great - while it's still smaller and has fewer facilities than some other nurseries, they take the children on regular (weekly) trips to the local library and the Railway Fields, both of which our daughter enjoys. Also, I think the most important thing about childcare is the people and on that point, Little Jewels excels.
Of course do your own research, but when we were looking between nurseries it was also better value than most in the area, which is a big factor when childcare costs can be nearly as much as rent/mortgage!

It's great place, our daughter started at Little Jewels when she was one year old, they have been key in promoting her development, she has learnt a lot in her time there, from independence to having good manners. The staff are not only very professional and approachable, but also extremely caring and
kind with the children and parents. I highly recommend it, the combination of a reasonable fee, extended opening times and the great team makes it an amazing option for childcare.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.860)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.860) out of 10 for Little Jewels Pre-School 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.860 for Little Jewels Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (123 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.86
  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 Jewels Pre-School is based on 12 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 38 number of registered child places is 7.6, which has been reached with 12 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.
