Review from Shakila C (Mother of Child) published on 30 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended Little Elms Montessori Nursery for two years and will be going on to school this September. My daughter also attended this nursery before him and we rate this nursery very highly.
His time at Little Elms has been wonderful and he went from being a very shy 'Covid' baby to a little
boy who is confident enough to attend school. We really believe in the Montessori method of teaching with child-led play and learning which was delivered fantastically by the trained staff members. I always received feedback through their app of what my child was doing on a daily basis which made me feel like I could share this journey with him.
There is a large outdoor area at the back of the nursery and it was important to me that they were able to be put in the open exploring nature.
It is truly a wonderful warm place to send your child to and I highly recommend it.

Both my children went to this nursery and absolutely loved it. The teachers are kind and nurturing and the environment is very welcoming and also educational. They also have a huge garden which is something you don't find in nurseries often. I highly recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.895)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.895) out of 10 for Little Elms Montessori Nursery 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 Elms Montessori Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (233 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 257 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 Elms Montessori Nursery is based on 22 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 22 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.

HelloI I am Nish. I have over 15 years of childcare experience. I actually started as a student at this very own nursery and went on to pursue my career and gain experience in other nurseries. I have since then worked in many nurseries as a deputy, then as a Head Teacher, Montessori head and as a SENCO. I have taken a whole turn and come back to where I started! I took over this setting in 2023 and have made significant positive changes aimed at making our relationship with the parents stronger.
