  • St Michael's Pre-Prep School, Llanelli
Sending your child to nursery for the first time can be a daunting prospect, however staff at St. Michael’s School are confident that your child will thrive in its welcoming and nurturing environment.

Pupils are accepted from their third birthday (you do not need to wait until September unlike most schools) and they will benefit from small class sizes and a broad and varied education taught by specialist staff. The curriculum fosters inquisitive minds that relish the challenge of discovery in an active learning environment, whilst also enjoying opportunities for play.

In addition to the core curriculum, pupils are encouraged to take part in additional activities such as music, ballet and sports, which are taught by specialist and peripatetic staff. Wrap-around care is also available for an extra fee (from 8am-5.30pm) and this is in the form of various clubs including arts & crafts, language club and mindfulness.

The Senior School is situated just a stone’s throw away, meaning that pupils in the Pre-Prep & Prep can make the most of the facilities and resources made available to older pupils. The geography of the site also allows for a seamless transition to the Senior School when the time comes. This is a huge appeal to many parents and a large number of pupils join in nursery and go through the school until the end of Sixth Form.

Transport to and from the school is offered in the form of a private bus network and its routes cover most of South and West Wales including Swansea, Mumbles, Gower, Llanelli and Carmarthenshire.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child runs into school every morning without looking back. It gives me the peace of mind to be able to go to my workplace knowing my child is thriving. The staff members are just what you would want; caring, experienced, professional in all they do, but put the children first. I am so grateful for
this school.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.125) out of 10 for St Michael's Pre-Prep School 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 1 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 5.000 for St Michael's Pre-Prep School is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  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 St Michael's Pre-Prep School 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.
