Review from Poppy P (Mother of Child) published on 16 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We've had our son in Little Gems for just over twelve months now and I cannot fault them. Everyone is incredibly welcoming and we were particularly drawn to how small the provision was - it meant that everything felt very calm and not at all over-stimulating and every practitioner now knows our son,
even those from other rooms. We started our son there when he was 8 months old and he's now approaching 2 and has moved to the Toddler room - it took him a little while to settle into the new room but all of the staff were so helpful and warm and welcoming and now he loves it. He doesn't even wave goodbye to me at the door anymore as he feels so confident going straight in! His key workers and room leaders have been amazing.
Little Gems have also been incredible with added stressors of potential allergens and have been particularly supportive during my husband's deployments. We're facing a large deployment this coming year, but I know that my son will feel very supportive and safe there.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Terrible experience. Came to my daughter's settling-in session in which I was told on the phone that I would be allowed into the room with her and upon my arrival I wasn't. Alongside this, I had no idea who my child's key worker was and the only thing asked was if she had a cow's milk allergy. Once
they took her to the room I spoke to the manager and asked why they hadn't stopped to talk about her medical conditions with me (she has 4 that were all listed on the form and she was unaware which shows that they hadn't read any information given). I went to leave as I was upset and went to leave her water bottle, which they told me not to bother. As soon as I got in my car I knew this place wasn't for her so I went back to collect her within 10 minutes. At this point they were then saying "The room leader can speak to you if you like"; which is too late as if something had happened in those 10 minutes they wouldn't have been able to look after her properly. They also refused to give the £100 deposit back.

Thank you for your personal interpretation of the settling in session, but we feel this is unfairly portrayed and not factual to what happened. The Manager greeted you with a Practitioner, introducing…read more

Current Review Score: 6.0 (6.042)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 6.0 (6.042) out of 10 for Little Gems Day Nursery Petersfield is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 2.9 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 2.917 for Little Gems Day Nursery Petersfield is calculated as follows: ( (11 Excellents x 5) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 2.917
  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 3.125 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Gems Day Nursery Petersfield is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 40 number of registered child places is 8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.125
  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.
