Review from J E (Mother of Child) published on 15 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended Little Kingdom Kids Day Nursery for a little over a year now and loves it! It took a while for him to settle at the beginning but the staff were all very reassuring. Of course, I knew he was going to be in safe hands anyway and he soon found that out for himself too in his own time.
The app is a brilliant feature.
The staff team are fantastic, everyone is so friendly, approachable and you can tell all are passionate about what they do.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Really happy with Little Kingdom Kids Day Nursery, the progress and joy my son has gained cannot be measured. Joining just before his second birthday, he had little social or speech skills as his age group were massively forgotten about during the pandemic, he is now coming on 3 and in my opinion over
achieving 2 going on 10. He loves going to nursery and seeing his friends, he has confidence to speak and confide in staff. All-round brilliant service.

Review from Diane H (Mother of Child) published on 15 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son can be very clingy at times and loves his cuddles, so when I see photos on the app of him cuddled into or sitting on a staff member's knee, it is a comfort to me! Nothing seems too much hassle for the staff and they are all pleasant and of a friendly manner. My son can also be a picky eater,
but the staff have been very patient and worked out ways to get him to eat. Staff are trustworthy which is of the utmost importance to me.

Thank you so much, trust me he gets us through the days sometimes with those cuddles too.

My children love going to nursery and get really excited to go. It’s great for me as I can log onto the website when they are there and see pictures and updates of their days as well. The staff have been really kind and reassuring to both the kids and me over the time we have used Little Kingdom Kids
Carrowdore.

We are really happy with Little Kingdom Kids, Carrowdore. Our son has been going there since September 2020 and he is very well settled there. He gets on brilliantly with the staff and children and all of the staff are absolutely amazing. Communication with parents is also excellent. Little Kingdom
Kids also use My Nursery Pal online to allow parents to keep track of the children's activities. Food is always of a high standard and healthy eating and nutrition is clearly important. When our son first started at Little Kingdom Kids everything was catered for including nappies, which was a great help. I would highly recommend Little Kingdom Kids and we will be sad to see him leave. Thanks!

Really appreciate the feedback, Thank you!! The worst part of childcare is watching them grow up and leave.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.967)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.967) out of 10 for Little Kingdom Kids Carrowdore is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.967 for Little Kingdom Kids Carrowdore is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.967
  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 Kingdom Kids Carrowdore is based on 10 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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2, which has been reached with 10 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.
