The Review Score of 8.7 (maximum of 10) for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Crofton (Orpington) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 6 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Crofton (Orpington) in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 4 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Day Nursery / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Day Nursery receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.75 for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Crofton (Orpington) is calculated as follows: ( (56 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.75
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Day Nursery to friends and family?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 3.967 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Crofton (Orpington) is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 3.75
Target of 18.4 positive Reviews (92 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 4 Reviews ÷ 18.4 Target = 0.217
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

I currently have a little girl attending and she loves going. The staff are the making of Little Elms, caring, helpful and very supportive to the children. They go above and beyond their job descriptions to ensure the babies and toddlers are encouraged and nurtured. I don't have any criticisms of the nursery and my son, who previously attended and is now at school, is a glowing example of the confidence they ingrained in him and what a difference they make to the early years of his development.
I would strongly recommend the nursery, the Owls room is particularly a great transition from nursery to school for the children and ensure they have all the basic tools needed to survive and thrive when moving to school.

This is the second nursery I have used for my children and I would highly recommend it. The staff are attentive and genuinely caring. My son really enjoys going to nursery and it is clear the staff involved in his care all make an effort to welcome the children and find ways to encourage the children to develop. For example, my son was reluctant to walk and staff used multiple different items and aids to encourage him. By comparison, the previous nursery my daughter attended, this individual/attentive care was lacking. The room is always very clean and well presented.

The staff all CARE about the children.
They can handle every situation they are faced with and I know my child is safe while there.
There seem to be a lot of menu changes and I am not always sure what has been eaten.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Y O (Mother of Child) on Wednesday 24 January 2018. Relates to January 2018.
My son started in the baby room when he was 12 months, having moved from another local nursery that he had joined at 8 months. Moving him has been the best decision of our lives. My toddler has gone from crying everytime we dropped and picked him up at the old nursery, to settling in very quickly at little elms and being really excited to go to nursery every morning. He has now formed amazing bonds with all the staff at the nursery.
The staff genuinely care about the children, are always pleasant and smiling, and let us know what he's been up to each day (and we get a form for our records). The nursery room is clean and tidy - it's a bright airy space and the other children seem to love it there. There's also ample outside play area which also makes a difference as the children benefit from running around in the fresh air (my son's previous nursery only had a small roof terrace).
I couldn't recommend little elms enough and if my son could talk in sentences, he'd say the same!

My son and now my daughter attend this nursery and I currently cannot fault it. My daughter has several allergies and she is looked after amazingly in Robins, the ladies working in the team are fantastic with her. The Managers are both amazing and listen to any concerns you may have.
My daughter loves the nursery so much that when I go to pick her up to take her home she never wants to leave!!!!

My experience and that of my wife has been very positive. The staff are very friendly and genuine. Manager is great. It is a nice touch that all the staff know our daughter by name. The food is great and reassuring that the kitchen has a 5 star rating. My daughter thoroughly enjoys the nursery. Thank you to all.
