Review from Joanne C (Mother of Child) published on 1 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I LOVE The Little School House. Both my 2 year old son and 8 month old baby girl attend and I am extremely happy with the level of care and attention both of my children receive.
Every member of staff knows both of my children well and they are both extremely happy there. My son particularly has flourished
under the care of the staff and he regularly chats about them at home.
Aside from caring for my children, the nursery is extremely well run. I am also really grateful for how flexible the nursery is, often taking the children at short notice or allowing me to swap days around to best suit our family. The food is great, I love the special workshops I can attend as a parent - it’s just a brilliant nursery.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our daughter loves the nursery and all the staff., especially the guinea pigs. She gets so excited every morning because she knows we are going to the nursery. Staff are always very friendly and caring. They show lots of interest in our daughter. The nursery is very flexible with hours. I would for
sure recommend the nursery to any parents.

Review from Kirsty S (Mother of Child) published on 26 August 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended since she was 2 years old..its her last day today. I have nothing but praise for the little school house and all its staff. She has thoroughly enjoyed her time there. Her dad and I have been extremely happy in the knowledge she is safe and cared for. She has had some speech
and hearing problems and when we informed them of this they worked with her to help her progress to where she is now. When she had her grommets fitted and wasn't very good with all the new level of noise they understood and comforted her if it became too much. They helped her with her speech and she now talks the ear off anyone who will listen. My daughter is a fussy eater but at nursery eats almost everything they serve so it must be good!!! I'm sorry that she is leaving there but times have progressed and it's time for school...an adventure she is more than ready for thanks to everyone there.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.570)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.570) out of 10 for The Little School House Nursery & Preschool 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 11 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 4.908 for The Little School House Nursery & Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (119 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.908
  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 4.662 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Little School House Nursery & Preschool is based on 11 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 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 = 3.775
    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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.4 = 0.887
  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.
