My daughter started at the little inspirations ponty setting in Sept 2024 and has settled wonderfully. She has great relationships with the team. There are lots of play activities for the kids and the outside area provides an ample space for the kids to explore, play and get fresh air. The team of ladies
are warm and welcoming and always support any requests. Definitely recommend this nursery.

My son attends this nursery and he absolutely loves it! His speech has started to improve a lot since attending this nursery also. The women that work here are such a lovely bunch and always keep me updated with everything. I am so glad that I choose to send my son to this nursery and would definitely
recommend it to everyone x

My little boy started here in September 24 and really enjoys going. He has really gained in his social skills and communication since starting, after two weeks of being here he started pointing which was something we'd been trying to encourage for months. The staff are all lovely and communicate well
with you, it's a smaller nursery which I find suits my son well as he can sometimes get overstimulated in larger groups/settings. Overall really great nursery.

Since the very first day my boy came there the staff were amazing with him form start to finish. It's the first nursery he's gone to and I can say I wouldn't want him anywhere else. Every day he comes out happy and knows more things each day. And that makes me so proud that I made the decision for him
to go there. As I said the staff are amazing and very caring and always on the ball. One happy mammy.

My son has just started at the nursery and I couldn't feel more comfortable leaving him there for his hours. The staff are friendly, inclusive and keep me posted on his ongoings.
There are so many different activities for him to get involved with which will help his development. It's a great size daycare
with a lovely garden. Perfect to suit all abilities and personalities.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.922)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.922) out of 10 for Little Inspirations Pontypridd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.922 for Little Inspirations Pontypridd is calculated as follows: ( (119 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.922

  • b) 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 Inspirations Pontypridd is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 22 number of registered child places is 4.4, which has been reached with 11 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
