Highly recommended this nursery. My son attends the foundation unit and I have seen such a difference since he has moved into here, he is so much more inquisitive and has learned so much since being in the room, he loves all the staff and has just become a much more settled boy. Thank you so much and
can’t wait to hear what he has learned next week.

My three children go and went to this nursery, my son when he was younger and now my two daughters go here. Can't fault the nursery at all, staff amazing and they have helped me from day one when I have been struggling with personal issues. My two daughters love it here, really amazing nursery, I will
be sending my other daughter here as well.

Always very pleasant members of staff that kindly let me know how my son has eaten and behaved throughout the day. My child has attended Little Rascals for almost 2 years now and has progressed greatly with both his speech and potty training due to this great nursery.

Little Rascals Darleston is a wonderful nursery, where children feel safe, happy and in a loving environment, where learning and development is a key priority for all children. The staff are attentive, friendly and are always happy to provide feedback on children's learning progress. Little Rascals
is definitely somewhere I would recommend to other parents.

Excellent nursery! Both my children have attended for the last few years and love it. They go the extra mile to ensure your child is happy and looked after. We never have to worry. Highly recommended.

We have been using this nursery for several years for both of our daughters. The nursery, after-school club and holiday club meet our needs completely. The staff and facilities are fabulous. They go over and above to make the children happy, keep them entertained and stimulated. I wouldn’t hesitate
in recommending. Outstanding!

The organisation in the nursery could sometimes be better (e.g. events such as parents evening and giving out information) but that’s the only thing I can fault. The care my children receive is outstanding and that’s the most important thing.

My daughter has been going to Little Rascals Day Nursery (Darlaston) for just over a month now, from day one the staff made me feel very settled and were able to connect with myself and daughter very quickly. On the first settle, I met her key worker who is amazing and is building a strong relationship
with my daughter. The feedback I get every week is outstanding and my daughter is always happy. The staff are all very welcoming and friendly and create the perfect atmosphere. I really appreciated how they listened to the child’s interests so they can plan around each child, would highly recommend!

Brilliant staff go above and beyond for each child. My son has gained so much confidence since attending the nursery, I really wish he wasn't leaving for reception. We will miss them so much.

An absolutely wonderful nursery. My son has been attending Little Rascals since April and we could not have been made more welcome. Everyone is really friendly and takes the time to make both children and families happy. The activities that my son completes are amazing and he has grown in confidence
since attending. I am so glad I made the decision to send him here!

Very friendly staff, my son has settled there quite well. Staff potty trained him and his developmental milestone has grown leaps and bounds since he joined the nursery.
Great job and the best nursery so far for me.

I would rate this nursery to any family as my child has learnt lots since starting Little Rascals such as her speech, number, colours and behaviour. They also helped me and my husband with our daughter's potty training. She can also dress and wash now and sing nursery rhymes. Our 3rd daughter has started
there and she loves every day there, very happy arriving and leaving.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. My little girl has been here for nearly 2 years and she has come on leaps and bounds since she started. She is in pre-school now and has learnt to write her name - which is really impressive as we gave her a long and weird spelling name! All the staff are friendly
and chatty and always take the time to let you know what your child's been doing. She always comes out smiling and chatting about her day. A lovely, friendly, wonderful nursery.

Very happy with nursery. Our son is very happy here and is doing very well. All staff are lovely and always happy to answer any queries. Our son has made lots of friends and is always very excited to come into nursery. We enjoy sharing our son's new on Tapestry and love seeing what he has been getting

My daughter enjoys nursery, she likes the activities and is fond of the staff.
Her summary for the day is very basic (her previous nursery had a book I could review) - sometimes meals/toilet times are missing but overall no concern.
She is expected to go to the toilet with no training so some skills
should be taught first - or communication with me about her stage.
Communication to parents could be better.
I have not been informed of when 15 hours will start for my daughter - instead informed them.
To sign up to the tapestry account took longer than expected and my daughter moved to pre-school before the age of 3 - I was only made aware through passing conversation with staff.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.063)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.063) out of 10 for The Darlaston Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for The Darlaston Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.063 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Darlaston Day Nursery is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.063

  • 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.
