- We stated clearly in our forms and verbally that our child should not be given pork. But they gave him sausage and mash and wrote this in his diary. We raised this with staff and they just said sorry.
- Sadly staff members, including
- There seems to be little interaction with the children. Often you'll see children just crying in the corner. The staff members hardly interact or play with one-year-olds, they just sit on the floor and hold them.
- Our son comes back very hungry from his day in the nursery, which probably amounts to him not eating very much while he is there.
However, they do have painting activities and sent photos of our son trying to paint. There is also a pet hamster which the kids can seem to play with.
Reply from Julia Ward, Quality Manager at Little Learners Nursery & Pre-School (St Nicholas Avenue)
Thank you for bringing these points of concern to our attention. We work very hard to ensure that our Nursery offers the highest standards of care in a nurturing environment and so immediately addressed all these concerns as soon as they were raised to us in order to bring improvement.
• We apologise unreservedly that your child was fed sausages. This error should have never occurred and we have reviewed our procedures to make sure it can’t happen again.
• There appears to be a case of mistaken identity as our Nursery Manager does not smoke. All staff members have been reminded of our smoking policy. This clearly states not only that staff must not smoke on our premises, but that they must not smoke while in uniform. We hope that an incident of staff smoking on premises or while in uniform never occurs, but should this happen our team is clear on our policy and likely consequences of such a breach.
• We are unable to identify with the atmosphere you have described as this is in sharp contrast to the comments received from other visitors to our setting. Daily, age-appropriate activities are planned for all children. While from time to time children may become upset, at Little Learners each child is allocated a key worker who ensures that they are nurtured and comforted in those difficult moments. Nevertheless, we have taken all your observations on board and are providing some additional training to staff.
• If parents are ever concerned about the amount that their child is eating during the day, we encourage them to speak to their child’s keyworker and ask to see the meal records.
We always find it best if we work in partnership with parents so that all concerns about a child’s welfare can be resolved quickly.

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.905) out of 10 for Little Learners Nursery & Pre-School (St Nicholas Avenue) 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.905 for Little Learners Nursery & Pre-School (St Nicholas Avenue) is calculated as follows: ( (152 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.905
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 Learners Nursery & Pre-School (St Nicholas Avenue) is based on 14 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 38 number of registered child places is 7.6, which has been reached with 14 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.
