Very happy with our key person in the lovely room and all members of Little Muffins Nursery. She really listens to the needs of our baby while encouraging him in his development. On a general note, we would like more information about health for example about the measles outbreak in the borough. Thank
you.

I cannot praise Little Muffins Nursery enough for their excellent care of our two sons. As Americans adjusting to life in a new country, the manager and teachers made my boys feel right at home, and we greatly appreciated their level of care in looking after their well-being. We have had a wonderful
experience here and are very happy for the loving and nurturing environment.

Little Muffins are a warm and forward thinking nursery that we are 100% comfortable with. We love how they want to prepare the children for their next stages for reception and school.

It has been always a very family nursery, the teachers love our kids and you can see how happy everybody is but in the last couple of months the rules have invaded the nursery and all the character of letting us being us treated as individuals with individuals needs have stopped. Now kids need to wear
shoes have to eat from heavy dishes, the class is much more ruled and it makes me sad. But, in general, I must say that the staff are lovely and the kids are happy so I only will change one thing more outdoor playing, they don't have a garden or outdoor space and that should be a must.

Reply from Tina Seremba at Little Muffins Nursery

Thank you for your review and your kind comments about our Nursery and staff team. We were very sad to hear that you feel things have changed in the last couple of months, and also surprised following receipt of the wonderful testimonial you sent to us recently about the fantastic experience you have had at Little Muffins. We have been working very hard to further improve our Nursery, and the changes you mention in your review have been implemented for the benefit of every child who attends our setting. Children wearing shoes is part of our school readiness programme. We feel it is crucial for children to leave our Nursery well prepared, not only for the educational aspects of starting school, but also the practical, for example, the requirement to wear shoes. We have invested in proper crockery for our children, as we feel meal times are a fantastic opportunity to develop children’s personal, social and emotional development. By providing children with ceramic tableware we aim to replicate the home environment where mealtimes are a social occasion at which children can interact with their peers. Placing trust in children also improves their self-confidence. Although we do not have outdoor space, children go on daily outings into the community and take part in a wide variety of extra-curricular activities. We also provide Forest School sessions in nearby Ravenscourt Park. We do not believe the investment and refurbishment in the nursery mirrors the “satisfactory” ratings.

My son is quite reserved, but also sociable. He gets on well with the children in his immediate group and has bonded with some of the older and younger children. He is developing nicely and Little Muffins methodology does not appear to clash with the ethos we have at home!

Little Muffins Nursery provides a high standard of education. My child learns number and alphabet with songs. The manager and staff are friendly and always willing to help and support parents. It's a home from home nursery where everybody has a strong working ethic and focus on children's development.
I would really recommend this place.

Our son has been with Little Muffins for over four months and he absolutely loves it. The staff are exceptional, extremely kind, friendly and always professional. I always feel really informed about the day my son had and he is always so happy when I drop him off and collect him.
The environment is
always so clean and all the staff come across as genuinely so caring and approachable. I can't fault Little Muffins at all and I would highly recommend.

My son is very happy to be here. They look after him very well. They also prepare nice food and my son enjoy's the food.
We recommend the nursery to anyone (parents) we meet in the park. In general, the staff are very friendly and well organised. We are very happy to have selected this nursery.
They
also inform us about all his day's activities and every week we get a summary of all that has happened.
I would like to thank all the staff for all their hard work and the interest they show in looking after my son.

I have been sending my child here since he was 1 and my second child since he was 9 months. The nursery is amazing and all the staff are very loving, caring and helpful. They encourage the children's development in so many different ways. The feedback each day is great and useful to know how your child
has been.

We have put two boys through Little Muffins and our third boy starts in autumn. We absolutely love the place. We were worried when the manager changed but if anything the place has improved. The teachers and TAs are fantastic, the boys get lots of exercise and make tons of art and above all, they learn
to socialise. Our eldest went into his Reception year full of confidence and able to make friends easily and be considerate of other children - and he is also extremely polite and charming. We give everyone at Little Muffins a lot of credit for this!

Both my daughter's loved Little Muffins. One is still there. The nursery is truly a home from home and each member of staff is warm and friendly. I am very fussy but I have never had a second doubt about leaving the girls there.
They were comfortable from the beginning.
The excellent standard has
continued with the new management, the manager has accommodated our needs and maintained the personal element.

I am very happy with Little Muffins. My two-year-old son is happy to be dropped off in the morning and happy when I collect him.
The staff are lovely - they properly seem to care and be interested in the children. I am always amazed at the amount and variety of activities they do with the children
- my son has so much more fun there than he does at home!
I highly recommend the nursery to other parents.

Choosing a nursery for your child is a difficult decision for most parents but from my first 15-minute walk around Little Muffins, I was certain that it was a place that I could happily leave my son. The nursery has gone from strength to strength consistently providing an environment that is warm, loving,
nurturing and safe. The relationship between the staff and parents is honest and open where the needs of each individual child are met as well collectively meeting national standards. The passion shown from all staff is reflected in my son excitement to go to nursery each day, the variety of activities that he takes part and the genuine sense that "all my teachers love me".

The Little Muffins Nursery is a great place for our little son. He has been going there for one and a half years and he is extremely happy. The staff are very caring and friendly and they pay close attention to the children's well-being and development. Our son has learned a lot during his time there
and he is very happy to go there it feels like a big family where all the kids and staff know and trust each other. They use a variety of materials to educate the kids and try to encourage physical activities outdoors too.

Little Muffins is the most wonderful nursery. From the first time I came to visit, I felt at home here and my daughter settled in so quickly when she was only five months old.


The staff look after her like she's their own daughter and she has so much fun, always coming home happy and smiling. The

facilities are great and I couldn't wish for a nicer, cleaner or safer environment for my baby.


More than anything, it feels like a family.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.849)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.849) out of 10 for Little Muffins Nursery 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 6 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 4.732 for Little Muffins Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (55 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.732

  • 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 4.117 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Muffins Nursery is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.6 = 0.517

  • 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.
