My son only attends after school club. He is nearly ten and most of the facilities are for younger children. He enjoys coming though. I feel confident that he is cared for and safe and all the staff are lovely.

My daughter loves her time at Little Angels/Heroes after school club. She enjoys the great variety of activities and the staff are key to her enjoyment. She has grown very attached to them, which is reassuring as a working mum. I always know she is well cared for and that her personal needs are met
and fun is always had. The staff have a great blend of humour, love and professionalism here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Little Angels is very friendly and my son loves it. He loves the staff as well as all the facilities. He often comes home and tells me about all the fun things he has been doing. They always provide different activities for the children. The staff always seem to know everything about each child, which
is lovely, and they are very easy to talk to. I would happily recommend this nursery to my friends and I am very happy with my son's progress since starting Little Angels.

Thank you, it's great to hear your son is enjoying our setting so much and all our hard work is making a difference.

My son has been attending Little Angels for two months now. He has become more confident and his speech is improving. The staff are always friendly and kind and my son enjoys going into nursery to see his friends and the staff. His learning journey has lovely photos inside which are lovely to look at
and to see what fun he has been having at nursery.

Review from Andrew M (Father of Child) published on 17 February 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Our daughter enjoys her time at Little Angels and I feel that she is safe, secure and happy which are the most important factors in my opinion. I found it difficult to provide much feedback in terms of learning and activities because I believe the communication between the provider and parents could
be greatly improved. It would be useful if Little Angels, could provide regular newsletters or activity logs to be sent home with the children or even better, adapt an online learning journal which is becoming fairly common.

Dear Andrew,
Thank you for your review, I am surprised that you suggest newsletters as I only took over this provision late Nov/Dec 2015, in which time I have issued four newsletters outlining which…read more

My son loves going to this preschool, he never tells me what he's been up to but always can't wait to go back, so that must mean he's enjoying himself! The staff are great with him and seem to get him involved in learning without him realising he's learning.

This nursery is truly wonderful. My daughter learnt so many new things. First of all, her speaking in English skills improved dramatically since I only speak to her in Lithuanian. She learnt the English alphabet and recognised all her letters, she learnt to count to twenty and recognise the numbers.
She
is always excited about going to school and I never have to feel bad for leaving her there.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.683)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.683) out of 10 for Little Angels Day Care is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.683 for Little Angels Day Care is calculated as follows: ( (152 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.683
  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 Angels Day Care is based on 13 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 38 number of registered child places is 7.6, which has been reached with 13 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.
