The nursery is based on one level and both sections lead to a large garden. Children enjoy meals that are cooked fresh on site.

My child struggled with the new environment & faces when first starting, the setting quickly recognised this and did everything they could to make my child feel safe and happy. My child settled in well and now enjoys their time there, thanks to the care and kindness of the staff. I always feel I get
honest feedback about how my child's day was & my child's development is greatly encouraged with a range of exciting activities. Lastly, the food provided is amazing, so nutritious and clearly very yummy as my child always eats what is on offer.

From May 2024 to February 2025.
Pros:
Food is a good variety.
The staff are lovely, friendly and approachable.
Occasional photos.
Good reaction when little one was poorly and kept us updated with any issues.
Cons:
The nursery is a big establishment, there are a lot of children in each room.
Our
little one didn't progress much with his development.
We had a few comments about how he is a 'good boy, we barely hear him' which made me feel uncomfortable.
We had to ask repeatedly to have his Nappy changed more regularly to prevent a sore bum and strong smell of soiling on his clothes (where he had been left in his own poo for too long).
Since leaving the nursery (4 weeks ago) he has become more confident and is saying words. It could be a coincidence of course and I am not solely blaming the nursery. But I do feel I made a mistake choosing this nursery and should have considered what a big establishment it is. I don't think he was stimulated enough here.

Reply from Neil Blockley, Commercial Director at Little Inspirations Day Nursery - Llantrisant

Thank you for taking the time to review. Thank you for your positive comments about staff within the nursery. I'm sorry to read your comments raised here about the nappy changing situation, I have checked back with our nursery management and understand this was raised with them, as a result action was taken which you were updated about. I'm sorry to read here that you 'repeatedly' asked as from our records I can't see that this issue was raised further. It is a large nursery, split up into separate age appropriate rooms which are appropriately resourced with access from all rooms to our wonderful large garden area which is well sheltered for outdoor development activities in all weather. We follow with Curriculum for Wales and are proud of the achievements and inspection results the nursery have received in following the curriculum and the developmental activities the children have. I'm really pleased to read that your child has since developed further and is now more confident.

They have supported my daughter with autism and myself through the whole process. I can't thank them enough. My daughter has developed her confidence around people. Has developed her independence and most of has developed her personality .

The nursery is very helpful especially as a first time mum.
They are always welcoming to the children and they are also treat each child the same regardless of their background.
My son was delayed in some areas on starting the nursery but he has caught up with the help of the staff.

A great nursery with friendly staff who are keen for parent participation and allow open dialogue between staff and parents. Both my children have settled in really well. My eldest changed to this nursery July 2024 due to not settling into her first nursery, within a few weeks there were no more tears
and she even made a best friend! She loves nursery. My son has recently started in baby room and it hasn't taken him long to settle in a join in with the activities!

The nursery has encouraged my child to be more expressive and I have seen a huge improvement in speech since starting at the nursery. My child has become a lot more confident and comfortable when leaving me thanks to the support of the staff at the nursery.

My two children (baby and toddler) have been attending the Llantrisant setting since November 2024. They have settled really well with support from staff. Communication with staff has been excellent in terms of how they are doing and they have always been quick to respond to messages/queries. I love
that the outdoor space is utilised whenever the weather permits and seeing images of what activities my little ones have been involved in!

From day one, the staff have been welcoming and helped my children settle in with ease. They look forward to going to nursery and are always happy and excited to tell me about their day on collection. They are well fed, well cared for and even nap at nursery when they struggle elsewhere! I am very grateful
to all the staff

You can tell how good a nursery is by happy your child comes out at the end. We can see how much our child enjoys being there and that they like the staff and feel at home. We get regular updates and photos on what is happening during the day which is great to see.

The girls are starting to be able to answer simple questions. They understand what nursery is, they also say they like it. Their happiness is my happiness as they say. They always look like they've enjoyed their days. As a parent, I enjoy the feedback on the app, photos etc, and the parent-teacher day
to discuss their progress.
The only concern is their understanding of baby gates and doors and they're trying the main door into the public area, and that it's the last door.

Reply from Neil Blockley, Commercial Director at Little Inspirations Day Nursery - Llantrisant

Thank you for your amazing review and constructive comments, we really appreciate it! With regards to the comments on the baby gates in that area, our senior manager and nursery manager have reviewed that area specifically mentioned and we confirm that additional measures are being introduced on the doors in that area as a result, as a further preventative measure and so thank you for raising this.

Lovely nursery and staff. My son moved to this nursery recently and has settled so well and quickly. The staff are always so nice and really professional, I feel reassured that I have left my son in capable hands. Excellent communication via the app. Overall a really friendly and professional nursery.
Big garden space for the children with plenty of toys, bikes etc. and staff are so interactive with the children. Home-cooked meals and a great variety of foods are provided.

Overall I highly rate the nursery, my son is doing fantastic and coming on in leaps and bounds. I appreciate all the time they spend with him and encourage him to try new things.
Price wise they are on par with other providers and offer a lot more than other providers do.
I always feel my child is
safe and cared for by all staff.
I would like to see more walks taking place, especially in the nice weather and would look forward to seeing photos of him enjoying the local community.

My twins have attended this nursery since they were 6 months old and they are now 3. I can't speak highly enough of all of the staff that have cared for them, they truly go above and beyond and I have felt very lucky to access such a wonderful setting. My children have dietary requirements and this
has been handled so well and nothing has been a problem, the staff have gone out of their way to accommodate their needs which has been very reassuring for me. There are regular updates on the app detailing their activities and what they have eaten during the day which I have found very helpful. My children will be leaving in September for school and we will miss the girls so much as they have become extended family for us.
I highly recommend this nursery, the staff are caring and knowledgeable and my children have grown and developed so much during their time there.

We are very pleased with this nursery and can't thank them enough for the care and support we receive for our twins. We lost our nanny at very short notice and needed urgently to find childcare, and Little Inspirations were very accommodating for our urgent needs. The staff at the Llantrisant nursery
supported our twins from the first day and helped them settle in very quickly. This nursery is providing amazing fresh cooked meals on-site, with a variety of fruits and vegetables.
They have an app where parents can track what their child is doing, what he has eaten and if the child had a nap, which again is very nice for working parents to know what their child was up to. Kids always have clean nappies and get quickly changed to clean clothes if needed. Staff are very highly professional, and will go above and beyond to make sure parents and kids are happy.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.718)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.718) out of 10 for Little Inspirations Day Nursery - Llantrisant 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 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 4.853 for Little Inspirations Day Nursery - Llantrisant is calculated as follows: ( (203 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 224 Ratings = 4.853

  • 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 4.865 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Inspirations Day Nursery - Llantrisant is based on 18 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 104 number of registered child places is 20.8. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.8 = 0.865

  • 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.
