My son attended this nursery for half a year, and we only moved him following a move out of the area. The staff are extremely conscientious and patient with the children, the safeguarding protocols are excellent, there seems to be a good mix of activities and outdoor time in a well equipped outdoor
playground. The use of the app is also really useful for recording how much they eat, sleep and have happy changes, and I always felt updated with his progress. It’s also, well managed a few of the fees are very reasonable. I think it’s unusual to find a nursery where the practitioners really care and where the kids have fun. I think it’s a testament that my son would get to nursery and run in, barely saying goodbye to me or his dad! Cannot rate highly enough.

My son has been going to The Little Academy since he was 10-months-old. He has always been very happy staying there and has always felt like a home away from home. He loves his teachers and loves to help them. He made many friends there and has turned out to be a very social, independent, kind and confident
human being. The nursery and preschool is very nurturing. I am sure my son is going to miss his friends and teachers when he goes into reception year starting September 2020.

The Little Academy is an extremely well organised and run learning facility. It provides the children with the steps to learn, play and grow. My son has attended the nursery since he was 6-months-old and the team members, that look after him, or help him around the facility are extremely patient and
understanding. As a parent they make me feel that the welfare of my child is being meet on a daily basis and they will not hesitate to contact me or vice versa regarding any problems or queries I may have. I couldn't of asked for a nicer team of people to look after my son and help him grow.

My daughter has been attending The Little Academy for the last 4 years and she has been so happy. It really is a ‘home from home’ and she has built strong relationships with the staff and other children.
She has developed into an intelligent, social, caring and confident young lady; and I know that
attending The Little Academy has played a large part in who she is.

The Nursery staff are friendly, welcoming and professional and have been very supportive in my son's development and keep me up to date with his progress which I can also see for myself via the elog app. My son has become a lot more confident and interacts well with other children. It is a safe and
happy environment!

My son attends in the toddler room at the Little Academy where he is always greeted with a smile and a warming cuddle. He loves going to nursery and I feel he is safe and provided with the best care possible. The girls are amazing at what they do and the management team are always accommodating and
friendly.

My son has been going to this nursery for 2 years now and has learnt so much and is very happy. Staff are great. They give detailed feedback and offer advice when wanted. Nursery manager is very helpful and deals with queries quickly and efficiently. They have an invaluable elog facility which allows
you to see pictures of what your child has been doing. Whilst my son was settling in I thought this was amazing as when I dropped him off he would be crying but I could see videos and pictures of him smiling during the day which was a great comfort.

All three of my kids have attended The Little Academy Day Nursery and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I have had no issue with this nursery. Very good service and the teachers are very good. I would also like to point out that one particular member of staff at The Little Academy has been brilliant to the
kids, she is very energetic, fun and enthusiastic, the kids love being around her. Overall, it's a good nursery and I am glad to have sent all three of my kids there.

A wonderful nursery with extremely high standards, great facilities and a superb range of activities for babies through to pre-school age. My son started at The Little Academy when he was just nine months and has progressed in all areas thanks to the caring and attentive staff. He is independent, loves
every day and feels a part of The Little Academy family. I particularly like how the staff encourage parents to get involved in the Early Years curriculum and suggest great ideas to carry through at home. All the staff are friendly and welcoming, making both children and parents feel at ease. The meals are varied and healthy and the indoor and outdoor spaces are clean and stimulating meaning children are engaged all year round. Everyone's experience is their own, attending Little Academy is the best experience I could have chosen for my son and highly recommend it.

The Little Academy is a forward-thinking, child-focused nursery and they are most supportive of parents, particularly like ourselves who has a child on the ASD spectrum. Their non-judgemental attitude to children regardless of abilities is something which has always appealed to us as parents, and I
commend The Little Academy for their continued professionalism. The staff are kind, warm and loving and we all have a very good relationship with each other.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.881)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.881) out of 10 for The Little Academy Day Nursery 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.881 for The Little Academy Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (301 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 336 Ratings = 4.881

  • 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 The Little Academy Day Nursery is based on 28 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 28 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.
