Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little girl has only been at this nursery since last summer, but I have to say the ladies have made her feel really welcome in the 1-2s room. At the start she didn't want to leave me she always cries but the girls let her take her panda which made going to nursery a lot easier for her. Now she goes
to nursery no problem, is all excited to see me when I come pick her up. She even sings nursery rhymes that's she learnt at nursery and gets all excited when she gets its right. Honestly I can't thank wee gems nursery enough for how well my little girl is getting on now. Her speaking has come on so much, she says please and thank you more which is great. When she is in nursery I know she is safe and getting well looked after. Also I have to say the food must be lovely as my daughter always seems to want to have extra which is a great thing as sometimes she could be picky with what she ate. Hope to continue to used wee gems nursery in the future.

Both my children love Wee Gems Livingston and enjoy going in each day. The learning in pre-school is excellent and I'm always informed about the learning that week which means we can continue it at home. I have seen my youngest come on leaps and bounds since starting Wee Gems Livingston. The staff interaction
is brilliant and both my children have great relationships with staff members

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.808)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.808) out of 10 for Wee Gems - Livingston is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.808 for Wee Gems - Livingston is calculated as follows: ( (240 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 286 Ratings = 4.808
  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 Wee Gems - Livingston is based on 24 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 89 number of registered child places is 17.8, which has been reached with 24 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.
