My daughter has been made to feel very welcome when beginning her journey with preschool. The staff are so friendly and caring and she always feels at ease when she walks through the door.
My daughter speaks highly of all the staff and seems to be not only having fun but learning and making friends.

This nursery is ok, we have had a few issues, however, they have been resolved. Certain staff could have a better attitude towards parents and children and they need their own entrance soon not 100% satisfied, room for improvement!

My son has attended Little Angels for approx 9 months and he enjoys it very much. He often brings home lovely crafts and says he has enjoyed his day very much. The level of care is very good and I feel confident in my son's learning progression at Little Angels.

The after school club are very accommodating to my needs, I have had to swap and change and add days in. This has never been a problem. The breakfast club is excellent supplying varied breakfast. My only issue is nothing to do with standard of care has been a delay in filling in my paperwork leading
to missing a deadline and payments being stopped. I think maybe someone else should be able to filling forms in case of manager absence.

My daughter is very happy at Little Angels Day Care and always wants to go. All the staff are happy, friendly, welcoming and always make time to listen to anything I feel is important. As a working single parent, it can be hard juggling work/childcare, Little Angels are accommodating and flexible. My
daughter is currently having speech therapy, my key worker works along side me with homework practice and support. My daughter starts school in September, I feel she is learning everything to get her "school ready" i.e phonics, numeracy and social skills. The topics are a lovely idea my daughter loves to tell me about topic work and what she has learnt. Fantastic outdoor area for lots of fun and play.

My son started at Little Angels Day Nursery in September 2016. My son is a very shy child and had never left a family member before, he was anxious starting nursery but Little Angels were amazing with him. They have been very understanding to his needs and he is now very confident little boy and enjoys
nursery.

My son only attends after school club. He is nearly ten and most of the facilities are for younger children. He enjoys coming though. I feel confident that he is cared for and safe and all the staff are lovely.

Reply from Joan Weingaertner, Manager at Little Angels Day Care

I am sorry to hear of your son's socks, we do struggle with mud especially in these winter months and where we are situated by the trees and the muddy side of the play area we have recently power washed the steps and we always hover and mop the whole of the inside play area every day, hopefully with the spring coming this will improve the muddy situation.

My daughter loves her time at Little Angels/Heroes after school club. She enjoys the great variety of activities and the staff are key to her enjoyment. She has grown very attached to them, which is reassuring as a working mum. I always know she is well cared for and that her personal needs are met
and fun is always had. The staff have a great blend of humour, love and professionalism here.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.695)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.695) out of 10 for Little Angels Day Care 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.695 for Little Angels Day Care is calculated as follows: ( (154 Excellents x 5) + (1 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.695

  • 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 Angels Day Care is based on 13 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 38 number of registered child places is 7.6, which has been reached with 13 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.
