Review from Marie K (Grandmother of Child) published on 24 March 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff are friendly and helpful. Our grandson is happy about going to nursery school and has made friends. He sings songs that he has learnt and points numbers and letters out when we are out with him which is very pleasing. He appears to be friendly with lots of the other children and is very sociable
when out ay playgrounds etc with other children.

Our son has been attended Little Learners Day Nursery in Purley since January 2021. It's not easy to start nursery in the midst of a pandemic but the staff have been very welcoming and he loves it. We have been refunded for days the nursery has had to close due to coronavirus cases being identified
and staff and children needing to isolate. The parents are currently not allowed in but I know from when my daughter attended in 2018 and 2019 that there is a lovely outdoor area with a jungle gym, dress up, motorbikes, footballs and the pet rabbit. Inside is a home corner, a library, dress up and a range of other toys. There is also an indoor area upstairs with a large messy play tray. My daughter and son both loved attending. The staff were excellent with our daughter and her speech really developed well there, she was also more than ready for school when it started. My children are both adopted and the staff completely took this in their stride. Watch out for the sports day and BBQ in September each year, its loads of fun!

Review from Kerry H (Mother of Child) published on 16 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started a couple of months ago and has already settled very well. Staff are all friendly and warm towards both children and parents. I love the fact each morning there's a table set up, with dinosaurs, bean bags, bricks, animals, every day is different.
The garden is outstanding, with a climbing
frame, decking and great ride on toys. Plus, the outdoor rabbit is a big hit.
Fingerprint entry means no waiting to be let in and out.
Inside, downstairs is not as large as some other nurseries I saw, but they do have a room upstairs, and they get out in the garden every day.

Review from Aaron A (Father of Child) published on 16 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My partner and I have, what might be described as a very publicly shy child, though he seemingly does not always contribute vocally when at Little Learners I've noticed his vocabulary and his ability to engage with me in play or active listening at home and with family has increased significantly in
confidence and willingness.
He often excitedly talks about the nature of things he does there whether it be Tuesday Football, painting, what he ate, what he made, or simply recounting lyrics to Disney songs he's sung or heard from other children. It's always a joy picking him up as you are warmly received by the staff and always informed as to the nature of his day and made to feel fully involved, down to each meal.

Review from Hannah P (Mother of Child) published on 29 November 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter loves nursery. Every time we drive past she will point at and wave saying "Hi nursery, mummy, that's where my teacher lives!" I was playing a game with her and when it came to counting up her cards she correctly counted to 20 which I have never heard her do. She is now doing more time at
nursery and her speech, counting and colour knowledge has come on incredibly. She is always excited to tell me about her day and often has a new picture or craft for me to put on the fridge. Her favourite is her plate spider! Thanks, Little Learners Purley team - you are all amazing!

My eldest child started nursery 2 months ago. He found the initial transition incredibly hard but I cannot fault Little Learners Day Nursery in their kindness, patience, support and professionalism during what has been a testing time for us both. The staff are excellent, the facilities and activities
are brilliant too. My 3-year-old is learning French on a weekly basis here and in the 2 months he's been going, has overcome severe separation anxiety to become a happy, sociable little boy. Can't recommend them enough.

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.
