Both of my children have attended Little Learners Day Nursery Purley over the years. My daughter attended 7 years ago and my son has just finished nursery for school. I genuinely believe that we struck gold with Little Learners. It's a wonderful nursery, in a lovely setting, with kind, knowledgeable
and caring staff.
Our little boy has a speech delay and the nursery manager went above and beyond to make nursery a welcoming place for him. She has helped him so much and we will always be extremely grateful to her and the rest of the staff for their time and care. He came on so much during his time at Little Learners.
This is a truly caring and nurturing nursery and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone searching for a nursery for their child.

Staff are kind and familiar to my two boys. Boys are very happy to go which makes working full time easier. Oldest boy is soon transitioning to primary school next door and my youngest will stay in this nursery for another year making pick-up and drop-off a breeze.

Brilliant nursery, the staff are really lovely, my son has developed so well there, I love the variety of activities they do with the children, they make learning fun. I feel my son is in good hands, I love that it is a small and intimate nursery, the staff know exactly what each child ate, drank, slept,
played that day and I love that drop off and pick up is one child at a time through a locked door. Children are very safe.

Have had children attending Little Learners Purley since 2021 and have found the nursery to be brilliant. Caring staff, great activities, supporting them through play to develop their skills. Great facilities particularly the outside space. I love that the children get to have meals together to develop
their social skills with their friends.

We love Little Learners Purley. The team are great with our son and he thoroughly enjoys his time there. We’ve noticed a leap in his development as the team do so many activities which help introduce the children to many different aspects and elements of learning about day-to-day things as well as wider
and larger topics. My son has been a sponge to it all and really enjoys exploring everything and asking questions to get a better understanding.

My daughter likes her teachers, the activities they do in the nursery. She always comes home very happy with full of stories. Most of the time she is coming up with something new that she learned there.
I like the website where the nursery keeps me informed about my child.
If I have something to
ask or talk about the stuff is always very helpful.

Staff are always very friendly, and attentive to the kid's needs they encourage a lot of active play and outdoor play. They are creative with the day-to-day activities which as a parent is good to see when looking at the portal where pictures are taken of the kid's activities

Our son is so happy here! He had never been in childcare before but the friendly staff and fun activities helped him to get settled quickly. They have a great outdoor space and even sheltered tables for the kids to have lunch outside.
Staff members are always happy to help and they make the effort
to adapt to each child and respond to their needs. They share information at pick up time about how the day went, what our son ate, how much he slept etc. We also appreciate the pictures shared regularly.
Our son made great friends and he is always looking forward to seeing them. His speech has improved a lot!
I would really recommend this nursery to any parent.

My son loves coming to this nursery. He tells us about his day, his friends and what he ate. He's always telling us he "doesn't want to go to old nursery, I like new nursery" and we have to reassure him, he'll never go to the old one again. The nursery staff are really informative and caring, you can
feel the warmth they have for the children. It's really reassuring as a parent to know you're dropping your child off with people who care.

My little girl loves the nursery and is very fond of her key worker. The app gives us a glimpse of what they are up to and it looks like she has a great time there. They recently had a "breakfast at nursery 'do, which was very nice.

We are absolutely delighted with Little Learners Day Nursery. It is a wonderful, nurturing environment and the staff are amazing with the children. The ladies really take the time to get to know each child individually and provide for them accordingly. Our son started with Little Learners Day Nursery
in September and his development since starting there has been remarkable. His speech was very delayed but since starting at nursery his language has vastly improved. He is always so excited to go into the nursery and the range of activities that they do each day is fantastic. He has learnt so much in such a short space of time there. The outdoor facilities are brilliant too and our son loves the meals. We thoroughly recommend this fantastic nursery and its lovely staff. He will be very sad to leave here when he starts school in September.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.721)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.721) out of 10 for Little Learners Day Nursery - Purley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 17 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 4.721 for Little Learners Day Nursery - Purley is calculated as follows: ( (161 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 201 Ratings = 4.721

  • 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 Day Nursery - Purley 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 32 number of registered child places is 6.4, 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.
