Little Jems Nursery is the best nursery I can not fault them the staff is amazing and so understanding my little girl was shy and didn’t want to leave me but as soon as she went there she didn’t care that I was gone and she asks every day to go to a nursery to see the staff and play with her friends
she has grown up so much from being there and her confidence is through the roof.

Both our daughters are in this nursery and they have been absolutely amazing with both from the early days to where they are now. They are informative on how their day has been, to what food they have had, what activities have taken place as well as the number of nappy changes. They have been very supportive
of our older little girl especially as we are taking her through potty training and they have adopted the same process as we would do at home which has been amazing and not making it uncomfortable for our little one. I can only praise the staff highly and our girls absolutely love running into their arms when they are in nursery twice a week. Well done to you all and I would highly recommend this nursery to other new families.

Home from home nursery, my son loves all the teachers they all know him really well even the baby room teachers, if I could I would keep him in the nursery for as long as I could, he tries different foods he wouldn’t at home and met some lovely friends I always hear other parents complimenting the nursery
at children's parties etc

My son loves going to nursery, he gets to play all day and I know he’s well looked after by the staff, who dotes on all of the kids who go to nursery. What I get for my money is well worth it and I would recommend anyone to send their child to this lovely nursery.

My daughter attends this nursery. She has done so since she was about 7 months old. The staff are always on hand and fully engaged and encourage my daughter. She always has a fantastic day when she's there. She goes 4 times a week and has a great bond with the nursery staff and always talks about the
lady who is in her room as the senior. She has a varied range of food. And always enjoys her meals and snacks. The staff members always have a smile.

My little girl loves coming here and has done since she started in September 2020. It has brought on her development amazingly thanks to all the lovely staff. There are always lots of activities throughout the week for the children and a little library system for them to use which I think is a lovely
idea. There is a great handover system in place so you always know what meals and how much your child has eaten that day. Will be very sad when it comes to her leaving this year for primary school!

I couldn’t think of a better nursery for my little girl to go to. Her talking has come on amazing, she’s such a loving caring little girl and the staff at the nursery are a massive part to how she’s come along. They give advice when I need it, they care a lot about the children. My daughter runs to
the doors and she’s not even 2 yet. Best nursery thank you for everything yous do amazing!

As a young mam I often deal with a lot of criticism and judgment from others but I could not speak one bad word about this nursery or the staff within. From the second my little boy joined they made us feel so welcome and comfortable, they have became a safe haven for my son. He has also came on leaps
and bounds with his speech since joining 6 months ago. Amazing nursery and even better staff could not praise them enough for the job they do with not only my little boy but all the children they care for.

Can’t recommend this nursery enough!
My son loves it. The staff are amazing, especially one lady who makes him feel so loved. Some days he doesn’t want to come home!
Their understanding of “real life” parents is second to none, with a discount on holidays, and flexible drop-off times at no extra
charge.
Thank you thank you thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.816)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.816) out of 10 for Little Jems Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.816 for Little Jems Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (289 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 347 Ratings = 4.816

  • 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 Jems Nursery is based on 29 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 29 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.
