My daughter started going here in October and it’s now the highlight of her day. She loves the staff giving them plenty of hugs and kisses. The communication we get whenever there is a problem is top notch and we receive emails whenever something changes. Overall I’m very pleased that my daughter goes
here and her development and independence has improved ever since she started to attend.

Reply from Felicia Ekemezuma, Director at Little Jewels Pre-School

Thank you for your review. It is always pleasing to hear that a child really enjoys coming to our establishment, it shows us that we are achieving our goals.

Our daughter loves little jewels. She started when she was two and has formed strong bonds with the staff. They are so caring and dedicated and take the time to really get to know the children, including following up with parents on any small ways they can provide further support. We are delighted with
our decision to send her to little jewels, so much so that we are now sending her little brother as well. We are so grateful to the Pre-school Manager and her team for creating a safe, caring and nurturing environment.

Little Jewels have looked after our children so well. They love their key worker and have developed overall brilliantly. It’s allowed us to have a smooth transition back to work, and little complication during covid. For us having the children socialise with other children was key, and Little Jewels
is a smaller nursery so has a very personal touch.

Amazing team and nursery. I was worried to change my daughter's nursery when we move but she felt at home from day one.
She has so much fun, amazing friends and things to tell in the evening.
I am amazed by the number of activities the kids have.
Thanks for everything

Thank you for taking the time to write this positive review. We do really enjoy delivering different activities to the children especially the messy play as we appreciate that some families are not able to do this at home.

We are happy with the nursery, in particular my daughter's key worker, and the level of care that she/the nursery provides.


It is a shame I am not welcome to enter the nursery (due to covid restrictions) to see the activities etc.


The only point for development is - outside space is a car park

and not suited for crawlers.

Reply from Felicia Ekemezuma, Director at Little Jewels Pre-School

Thank you for your review. We appreciate your concern about entering the nursery, please understand that was this due to Covid restrictions and we are currently reviewing this practice. In the meantime, we will continue to send pictures and details of what the children are getting up to throughout the day on tapestry. You will have also seen in our newsletter that we are working in partnership with the Church to improve our outdoor area which hopefully will be completed by the end of this academic year.


With regards.

We love Little Jewels, of all the local nurseries we visited it seemed to have the most caring team where children genuinely enjoyed being there. Our boy has attended over a year now from 12m and we found this was the case - not only do they do a great job of interesting activities, teaching him how
to look after himself and interact well with others, they also have fun and are invested in him as a person they want to do the best by- exactly what we wanted from a nursery. As they are smaller we also felt they were less “corporate” and more focused on the needs of the individual children/parents, which we like.

Reply from Felicia Ekemezuma, Director at Little Jewels Pre-School

Thank you for your kind words, we try our best to ensure that all children are given the best care and that their individual needs are taken care of.

Wonderful staff who take a real interest in the kids and a great keyworker system. The facilities are not purpose-built for a nursery and the outside space is basic, but I cannot fault the care of the staff and my daughter is very happy.

We are very happy with the nursery. My three year old son's key worker has done an outstanding job with him over the last six months and really helped him through a challenging period with the birth of a sibling. We had good discussions about how to handle it and felt like we were acting as a team.
The staff are very friendly and genuinely caring. The nursery feels intimate and personal. We see at home that he has been learning about numbers, days of the week, telling the time and other age-appropriate learning, as well as arts and crafts.

I cannot recommend Little Jewels highly enough. My two year old has been going there for the past year and absolutely loves it. The staff are incredibly warm and kind. Since attending, my son's language has developed hugely and it is clear that he is learning a lot as well as having lots of fun and
making friends. He always comes out talking about his day and how much he has done. It is really reassuring to know he is spending the day somewhere he is safe, happy and so well looked after.

We're delighted with Little Jewels - both of our children have thoroughly enjoyed their time at the nursery. The staff are uniformly friendly, enthusiastic and loving, and that sense of joy rubs off on the kids. It's got a lovely atmosphere and I'd recommend it to any local parents.

My son really enjoys attending Little Jewels - the group sizes are a bit smaller than most nurseries and although not attached to a primary school, they are definitely what I would define as a pre-school in that the learning element is a bit more organic and relaxed. The staff are friendly and helpful
and since moving from a different nursery almost a year ago, we definitely appreciate the flexibility and value for money that Little Jewels offers, compared to the last place.

My son is now 3 years old and joined Little Jewels over 6 months ago. He skips into nursery every morning without a complaint and has made so many friends, those he names as his best friends are also his care workers which is so sweet. The staff make every effort to communicate to parents on a daily
basis and the overall communications has been brilliant, especially in the midst of a pandemic. There is a lovely and warm atmosphere at drop off and collection times and I am very pleased with our choice. There is always a great variety of crafting and activities to hear about and plenty of learning around cultural events.

We have been so happy with Little Jewels. My son started just before he turned 4 and attended for a year after doing part-time nanny share for several years. The idea was to help him to prepare for school and the team at Little Jewels did an excellent job of this. He made friends, grew in confidence
and got used to spending time with children of all ages. The nursery has a happy, friendly atmosphere. The children play outside a lot and go on occasional interesting trips out. My son has loved his time there and was sad to leave, but is much better equipped to enjoy school now. Exactly what I hoped for.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.791)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.791) out of 10 for Little Jewels Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.791 for Little Jewels Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.791

  • 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 Jewels Pre-School is based on 16 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 16 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.
