Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy currently attends the nursery and as he's our first, we were very worried about leaving him in the care of somebody else so that we could both continue to work. However, the whole team have been fantastic with us from the very start, even during our show around before even deciding to
enrol. You can clearly see the dedication and passion the staff have for childcare. I feel confident that while my little boy is in their care he is safe, being fed tasty, healthy meals, having fun playing and learning with the staff and other children and overall, being taken care of.

My son started at Little Adventures Nursery in November 2023 and I can most definitely say it was the best decision I made to send him to this great nursery. He absolutely loves going and doing so many fun activities with his friends and has a fab time. The staff are all lovely and communication is
fantastic with daily updates and always smiley faces!

My son goes to Little Adventures Nursery, always there to help him if he needs anything or if I need any advice on anything, he always goes in with a massive smile and leaves with a massive smile. They are brilliant with the parents, children and staff.

The nursery has been amazing from the start. I couldn’t recommend them enough. I moved my daughter in November due to returning to work full time and her previous nursery couldn’t accommodate the additional days. The communication is always brilliant from all the staff and they are they have been incredible
with my daughter. My daughter has gained so much from being there and has come on leaps and bounds from when she first started.

We can not praise the team enough at Little Adventures Nursery Dudley. Our little boy started January 2024 and was supported incredibly from the start. The team were amazing when dealing with his reflux and the communication we receive is amazing. They are warm, welcoming and more importantly, look
after the minor details for every child which then impacts so positively. Now finally settled, we have seen our little boy develop rapidly. He is more confident, sociable and definitely starting to become more vocal. Thank you to everyone from Little Adventures Dudley, you are all incredible and are doing such a fantastic job!

Little Adventures Nursery Dudley has been a haven for my children, blending exceptional care with a stimulating environment.

Lovely nursery great staff very friendly would highly recommend days and times flexible. You can leave your child without worrying they are well looked after. It also has an app to keep parents informed of what the children have done that day which is helpful and you can leave messages for any member
of staff.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We do love our app making that communication more smooth with home and nursery! I am really happy you feel so reassured when you leave.

Review from Hannah B (Mother of Child) published on 5 December 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am a first-time mother to a baby boy. When he was 6 months old we started to look for nurseries. I never in a million years expected it to be so daunting.
When we came to look around Little Adventures, I was instantly drawn to the manager and her unbelievable professionalism. She was exactly who
I wanted to look after my pride and joy. Motherhood has been very hard for me with my family living 2 hours away. Yet my visit to the nursery twice a week (even though it’s only for the afternoon) has helped me so much.
Seeing the manager lifts my spirits, not only does she look after my son, she also looks after me, and listens to me.
All the other girls are wonderful to my son. I love how he comes home dirty! This proves how much fun he’s had at such a young age. They welcome him with hugs, which is amazing and reassuring to see.
The chef - where do I start with her? I think I’m more obsessed with her cooking videos than the children. I’ve even begun to make some of her recipes.

Review from Emma B (Mother of Child) published on 3 October 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the moment I came to view the nursery, I knew this was the place for my son. I had viewed another nursery prior to this one, which was closer to home but nowhere near on par with this one. I clicked with the manager from the moment I met her, she just understood and made me feel so at ease. Her
values and her plans for the nursery were aligned perfectly to my own wants and needs regarding my son's learning journey. Communication is important to me, and to have the app available and updated in real-time is one of the things that I love the most. Everyone of those ladies have empathised with my anxieties over leaving my baby and have shown nothing but care and compassion. They have all helped me more than they know and they deserve a medal. Their patience and understanding with not just me but my emotional (at the beginning) little boy, has been above and beyond. To now see my son upset when he can’t go to nursery just says it all. I could go on and on because I rate them so highly.

It's been a beautiful experience, my child is always happy whenever she hears it's time for school. I love the fact that we are kept up to date via the parents' app. It feels like I am there with her because every activity is uploaded on the app, including meals. I feel reassured each time I check and
I see she's OK. Overall, it's been a first class experience.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.895)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.895) out of 10 for Little Adventures Nursery Dudley 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 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.895 for Little Adventures Nursery Dudley is calculated as follows: ( (382 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 418 Ratings = 4.895
  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 Adventures Nursery Dudley is based on 35 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, which has been reached with 35 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.
