Little Achievers Day Nursery is a Rosy Apple Childcare facility that has built up a strong reputation within the local community for quality early years learning and childcare in which parents can feel confident and secure.

Little Achievers Day Nursery uses the Reggio Emilia Approach to Early Years Childcare and Education, a philosophy that uses four key principles to focus on a child's natural development. The approach is both child-centred and directed, taking the philosophy that learning must make sense to the child in order to be effective and meaningful.

Little Achievers Day Nursery is registered for eighty-two children in total and has purposely designed outdoor spaces. Each child has their own key carer who looks to ensure early years’ potential is achieved. The nursery is split into 3 age ranges however the rooms can flow easily to aid transition for children when moving to new groups.

The nursery was awarded the E-quality Counts award by the National Day Nurseries Association in August 2015.

Learning journeys for all children are offered both to see the progress their child is making at nursery via photographs, written comments and communication, along with being a beautiful portfolio of memories for the future.

All nursery pre-school children are able to access forest school at Little Achievers Urban Forest School Nursery, within their timetable of nursery attendance.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child goes to this nursery and it is a brilliant place for my child. I'm also sending my other child to this nursery as it's a clean and tidy and very safe place.
My child has learned a lot and the care is brilliant. I'm 100% happy with the standard of the place and it's very good value for money.
Thank
you.

My daughter has attended nursery since she was a baby. We wanted her to attend an excellent nursey just like siblings.
Little Achievers provides a safe and stimulating, varied nursery with staff who have common sense and excellent caring skills.
My daughter continues to thrive, is a positive, happy,
confident child and this is a clear indication she gets the care and input she needs from nursery.

Both my children attend Little Achievers and have done since being ten and eleven months old.
They have fully enjoyed their time there and have learnt a lot in their time spent there.
I cannot thank this nursery enough especially with my youngest child as she has additional needs and has been helped
greatly throughout her time at this nursery.

My daughter attended here from 8 months old until starting school and I was extremely happy with everything about the nursery. The staff were all friendly and great with the kids. The facilities are very good and there is a park and library within walking distance that they take the children on trips
to.

I have been using this nursery for the past six years. First with my son and now with my daughters. I can honestly say it is amazing.
The staff are caring and always go out of their way to reassure me that my girls are happy. The manager is brilliant. She is so helpful catering for my needs, helping
me with hours and fees. I would highly recommend the nursery. My girls are happy which means Mummy is happy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son was very shy when he started nursery and it took him nearly a year to come out of his shell.
Since then he has learnt loads and seems to interact more with people he doesn't know.
The staff have been great and do an excellent job. Keep up the good work.
I would definitely recommend this
nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.142)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.142) out of 10 for Little Achievers Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 10 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 4.540 for Little Achievers Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (99 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 126 Ratings = 4.54
  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 4.602 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Achievers Day Nursery is based on 10 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 83 number of registered child places is 16.6. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.6 = 0.602
  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.
