Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has been here since last February. I'm just blown away by how much my daughter has developed at Little Gems. She is learning and growing everyday. I'm thoroughly enjoying watching her progress and seeing her confidence grow, and I'm so grateful for all the staff in the nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with our son's experience at little gems pre school, from the very beginning when he joined the little tots room at 10 months old Elisa and the rest of the team have been nothing but caring and welcoming. We find the staff are always friendly and approachable, and communication
with parents is good. We are kept well informed about his progress and the daily activities he gets up to. It is clear he really enjoys it here as he is always excited to go which is a huge credit to them. Thank you for nurturing and helping our little boy grow.

My little girl has been coming to little gem for almost 2 years now and I can't thank the staff enough for all the hard work put in with her especially Elisa. Her speech has come on leaps and bounds. They've supported me throughout her time here. They are welcoming and have been from the very start.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Elisa and the team are absolutely fantastic. From the very first day, they have gone above and beyond to make our child feel welcome, safe, and happy. The staff are always helpful, approachable, and genuinely great with the kids. You can tell that they truly care about each child as an individual, taking
the time to get to know their personalities, interests, and needs.
The atmosphere in the nursery is warm and nurturing, and it's clear that the children are encouraged to learn, explore, and grow in a supportive environment. Communication with parents is excellent-whether it's updates about daily activities, progress reports, or just a friendly chat at pick-up, Elisa and her team make sure we always feel informed and involved.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.336)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.336) out of 10 for Little Gems Pre-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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 7 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 4.975 for Little Gems Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (79 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 81 Ratings = 4.975
  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 4.361 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Gems Pre-School is based on 7 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 = 3.6
    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 46 number of registered child places is 9.2. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.2 = 0.761
  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.
