Little learners in Purley have been absolutely amazing from start to finish. My son started last September and had just turned 2. He struggled with the separation a lot but all the staff kept me calm and reassured me that he will get there and will soon be used to it. Which he was. My son has strived
at little learners for the passed year. All the staff have been amazing and he loves them all. He's always happy going in and leaving and can see how much he has learnt being there. Thank you to every one of you that have helped my boy this year.

We've had two children at little learners purley and they have both had a wonderful time.
The staff are wonderful and really nurture the children. The children thoroughly enjoy all the activities, particularly the woodwork! The nursery has a fantastic outside space with a large climbing frame and
lots of outdoor toys and activities for the children. They play outside everyday whatever the weather, and nursery have coats/hats/gloves etc so they know the children are warm and dry!
The children are always excited to go into nursery and come home with lots of stories about what they have been up to. Even though our son is now at school, he still talks about it!
We enjoy seeing the photos and updates on the app. We love the open mornings and big breakfasts when the parents have the opportunity to go in and have a taster of what the children get up to, which the children also look forward to.
We thoroughly recommend little learners purley and are so pleased we picked it for our children.

Thank you to all the ladies at Little Learners Purley, both my children have attended this branch over the past years with my youngest leaving this year to start reception. The ladies there have shown lots of care to both my children especially the manager! Who still holds a strong place in my daughter's
heart even though she's now 6 :)
My son's speech has come a long way since starting at this branch and it's all thanks to their one to one attention. He's become a lot more confident in himself and has built good friendships. Thank you so much ladies! The manager and another member of staff you've been amazing and we'll be sad that this chapter is coming to an end! But we will see you around! Xx p.s why am I crying hahaha

My son has really come a long way since he first joined the nursery. He didn't speak any English when he first joined but is now very fluent and confident in the language. He's also made lots of friends and developed an interest in a variety of activities. He's also exhibited his talent for painting
and sports, which would not have been possible without the excellent and supportive staff.

My son goes here 2 afternoons a week and really enjoys going. The activities he does are varied and he often brings home things he had made.
I like the app for his learning journal as I get to see what he's been doing and can communicate with his key worker.

My son recently started visiting this nursery and I can see so many positive changes in his behaviour in only 4 months time. People are patient, caring and teaches the kids really well. And they take them to small trips which my son loves. And activities are very well planned.

Both of my children have attended Little Learners Day Nursery Purley over the years. My daughter attended 7 years ago and my son has just finished nursery for school. I genuinely believe that we struck gold with Little Learners. It's a wonderful nursery, in a lovely setting, with kind, knowledgeable
and caring staff.
Our little boy has a speech delay and the nursery manager went above and beyond to make nursery a welcoming place for him. She has helped him so much and we will always be extremely grateful to her and the rest of the staff for their time and care. He came on so much during his time at Little Learners.
This is a truly caring and nurturing nursery and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone searching for a nursery for their child.

Staff are kind and familiar to my two boys. Boys are very happy to go which makes working full time easier. Oldest boy is soon transitioning to primary school next door and my youngest will stay in this nursery for another year making pick-up and drop-off a breeze.

Brilliant nursery, the staff are really lovely, my son has developed so well there, I love the variety of activities they do with the children, they make learning fun. I feel my son is in good hands, I love that it is a small and intimate nursery, the staff know exactly what each child ate, drank, slept,
played that day and I love that drop off and pick up is one child at a time through a locked door. Children are very safe.

Have had children attending Little Learners Purley since 2021 and have found the nursery to be brilliant. Caring staff, great activities, supporting them through play to develop their skills. Great facilities particularly the outside space. I love that the children get to have meals together to develop
their social skills with their friends.

We love Little Learners Purley. The team are great with our son and he thoroughly enjoys his time there. We’ve noticed a leap in his development as the team do so many activities which help introduce the children to many different aspects and elements of learning about day-to-day things as well as wider
and larger topics. My son has been a sponge to it all and really enjoys exploring everything and asking questions to get a better understanding.

My daughter likes her teachers, the activities they do in the nursery. She always comes home very happy with full of stories. Most of the time she is coming up with something new that she learned there.
I like the website where the nursery keeps me informed about my child.
If I have something to
ask or talk about the stuff is always very helpful.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.911)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.911) out of 10 for Little Learners Day Nursery - Purley 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.911 for Little Learners Day Nursery - Purley is calculated as follows: ( (163 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.911
  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 Learners Day Nursery - Purley is based on 15 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 32 number of registered child places is 6.4, which has been reached with 15 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.
