I cannot fault the Staff of the nursery. They are always polite and helpful. My Grandson is thriving there and he looks forward to going in every day. The setting has a lovely atmosphere and nothing is too much trouble for the staff there.

All the staff in the nursery go out of their way to make it an amazing place for my son, every morning he is more excited to see his friends and the staff then he is to see me. Going from not wanting to be left to not wanting to leave speaks volumes!

Since my little daughter started at Little Inspiration she has come on so well she enjoys going in to play with her little friends and to have lots of fun all the staff are lovely and they always meet you at the door before going in with a smile they listen if you have any concerns. I like that they
try to get children to do new skills that they can achieve in and activities are so fun that they set out for the children so well done to all staff at Little Inspiration Gellideg I couldn't have chosen a better nursery for my child to attend

My son adores it here. They have taken him on short notice, so that I could start my job out of university. They're so supportive with families as well as the children and he looks forward to attending, something that was previously unheard of. He's a social boy and the staff encourage that, he speech
has come on leaps and bounds since starting, I can't sing their praises enough!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has been going to little inspirations in Gellideg since September 2025. I am happy with the care and service provided. My child eats healthy, nutritional snacks every day while attending the nursery and always has a smile on her face when she leaves. Me and my child's father are both greeted
warmly any time we enter the building. It's a great school with lovely teachers and a happy environment. Great experience so far.

Lovely staff, beautiful setting my little one doesn't want to leave when I pick her up. Staff managed to settle her perfectly as when she first started going she was upset going in. Outdoor area is fab too. All staff are always more than happy to help. The app updates throughout the day are the best
as I like to know how my little one is getting on when I'm not around.
100% recommend this setting.

Positive environment with extremely helpful and understanding staff members, who are always looking for ways to help and welcome you with open arms. My child has the best time at this nursery and sees the setting as a place she enjoys attending, as well as enjoying learning and continuously showing
improvement because of the techniques and experience the facility is providing.

All staff are amazing, so helpful. Always answer any questions I have on pick up and always let me know how my daughter has been throughout the session. Lovely setting and always looks clean and tidy on drop off. I love the little board in the cloakroom with the week's activities on, love reading what
they get up to and seeing the pictures on the app.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.778)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.778) out of 10 for Little Inspirations - Gellideg 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 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 4.953 for Little Inspirations - Gellideg is calculated as follows: ( (143 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 150 Ratings = 4.953
  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 4.825 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Inspirations - Gellideg is based on 13 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.825
    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 20 number of registered child places is 4, which has been reached with 13 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.
