All staff at this nursery are brilliant with my little one, I always feedback at the end of each day and I also get updates throughout the day using the app. My little one is always happy to go in and loves to tell me what they have gotten up to throughout their day. 10/10 nursery and I will continue
to recommend to all family and friends.

Amazing nursery and brilliant staff, can't do enough for my daughter. Her development since starting at the nursery has been remarkable, always kept up to date with what my daughter had eaten throughout her day, and staff are always fast to respond to any query I have.

I would and have recommended Little Inspirations Rhydyfelin to all of my friends. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The app is updated regularly so you can how your child is getting on for the day. I particularly like the little messages/photos sent throughout the day, this provides reassurance
and goes a long way to us parents! The nursery is clean and offers a good variety of healthy food.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at this nursery are incredible. The care and support they have shown us as a family has been amazing. Our son has a rare condition and they learned about it and how to care for him the right way going above and beyond. The staff and manager as well as the other staff are just brilliant and
I can't recommend this nursery enough! If I could have given 10 stars I would have!
The app they use makes it easy to communicate, they send photos, etc.
Top nursery, top staff.

Her dietary requirements have always been met and we are kept up to date with her day on the nursery app.
Overall I would strongly recommend
the nursery to anyone looking for childcare.

The staff are all really helpful and accommodating.
They helped my little ones so much, and are always so keen to help.
My little ones have such fun with all the workers, but have developed really strong bonds with their key workers and it’s genuinely lovely to see how they interact with them.
They
all work so hard to help you be at ease for leaving your babies with them.

We’ve had a great experience with Little Inspirations Rhydyfelin. My daughter loves attending and goes to all the staff with open arms. The staff are always on hand to answer any queries you may have. We are regularly updated on the app, I love seeing what she’s been up to and what she’s eaten. My mind
is at ease knowing my daughter is happy and having fun while we’re at work.

My son has been going to this nursery for over 2 years now and I must say, the standard of care that has been given to him at this setting has been nothing short of exemplary. I have recommended this setting to a number of relatives and friends. They take time to support and enhance the development
of my son and have taken the time to get to know him. The management of this setting have been particularly supportive to me as a full-time working mother and are always on hand to answer any queries, especially relating to applying for funded childcare.

We couldn’t recommend Little Inspirations Rhydfelin more highly, it’s a superb setting for children and the staff are exceptional. We have 3 children with an age range spanning 13 years and all 3 have attended this setting and absolutely loved it. Our 4th child is due in a few weeks and he will be attending
too!
Great facilities, good communication, caring staff and a really lovely feel to the nursery overall. We love it!

My daughter has been coming here now for just over 2 years, she loves it. All the staff are lovely and if I’m concerned about my daughter for any reason the staff is always willing to help. My daughter takes a shine to one in particular. I’ve got to say the manager is amazing too any questions I have
to ask or just general advice she always messages me back and is so helpful.

My daughter started nursery with little Little Inspirations Day Nursery - Rhydyfelin in April 2022. The staff at this setting are friendly, warm, caring and welcoming. I was immediately put at ease as a first time Mum. I love the homely feel to the nursery and the range of activities available to the
children here is excellent for their learning, development and social interaction. The staff are so attentive and build up such a lovely relationship with the children and parents which makes the transition back to work so much easier! My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since attending here and I would not hesitate to recommend this setting to anyone. I am so impressed by this nursery and my daughter is so happy here, she always goes in smiling every day!

Little Inspirations Day Nursery - Rhydyfelin have gone above and beyond to support my daughter in the nursery. The support they have given to myself as a parent as well is exceptional. The staff are so approachable and friendly and my daughter has a smile on her face every morning when we arrive. Nothing
is ever too much for them and I will always be grateful for the experience my daughter has had for the last almost 2 years.

A lovely nurturing environment with lots for the children to do and develop their skills. Great outdoor play area and very clever use of open indoor space made into smaller areas to encourage different sorts of play. Staff are really lovely and nothing is too much trouble. Always welcome your questions
and calls to check in and the app to keep you updated as a parent is fantastic. Would highly recommend

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.847)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.847) out of 10 for Little Inspirations Day Nursery - Rhydyfelin 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 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 4.924 for Little Inspirations Day Nursery - Rhydyfelin is calculated as follows: ( (134 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.924
  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 4.923 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Inspirations Day Nursery - Rhydyfelin is based on 12 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 65 number of registered child places is 13. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 13 = 0.923
  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.
