Thank you on behalf of all the team Becky for taking the time out to write this review for us. Our nursery practitioner team are so encouraged by such wonderful reviews and it's wonderful that parents such as yourself who have been through all of our nursery rooms see the value of the many real experiences that we provide. Indeed it is our aim that little ones leave us independent, curious and with a love of learning to continue their education journey into primary school. We are looking forward to many adventurers this summer - especially our forest school which begins at the end of June.

What a beautiful testimonial Eilis - it is always a privilege when parents put their trust in us as early years teachers to care and nurture their child. Your little boy's experience of our nursery is exactly as we aim to do with all our children - to provide a rich early years childhood, full of adventures in a loving and friendly environment. We are so grateful for your heartwarming review and we hope your son will enjoy the next stage of his learning as he starts big school in September. However, before then we have a wonderful summer ahead full of learning and exciting extra-curricular activities such as our summer Forest School sessions with our pre-schoolers! Many thanks from us all.

It is lovely to read how your little one has enjoyed his learning journey at Little Adventurers, Pete. All of the things you mention are purposeful aims of our nursery; from the partnership with our nutritionist to the mixed ages of professional staff to the regular extracurricular and impromptu trips into the community. It is wonderful to hear parent reviews especially when you can see the difference these all make to your little one's early years adventures. Thank you for taking the time out to write this for us.

There is a consistency in the level of care, and any comments or questions are thoroughly investigated. There is evidence of continuous improvement, for example in the nutrition, activities and in the outdoor space.
With no other options for childcare, I was initially apprehensive about a nursery setting, however, any concerns quickly dissipated and I saw the benefits of an excellent nursery environment. I now have 2 children at the nursery and I have always felt happy leaving my children in their care.
Our relationship with Little Adventurers has been a very positive experience, with genuine affection and I couldn't recommend them highly enough
Reply from Chris Ford at Little Adventurers Nursery
Dear Sarah, we are so glad that your children have had such a great time with us. it has been a truly precious thing to watch each one of them grow and become the confident little people that they are. Throughout the years we have looked after them it has been such a pleasure to see their zest for life, demonstrated in different ways, with an innate curiosity, a wonderful flair for creativity and a gentleness towards others. Together we have explored diverse topics such as seed pods, making ballet shoes from ribbons and climbing trees and have enjoyed every cuddle, all the laughs and every gasp of wonder!
Thank you so much for taking the time out to write this wonderful review - we look forward to sharing it with our whole staff team.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.807) out of 10 for Little Adventurers 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.807 for Little Adventurers Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (171 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 202 Ratings = 4.807
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 Adventurers Nursery is based on 17 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, which has been reached with 17 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.

Charlotte has been working very hard over the past 2 years, studying and recently achieving her level 5 in Early Years & Childcare. During that time, Charlotte has also been promoted from Assistant Deputy to Deputy Manager and she is based in our under 2’s room. Charlotte has been with the setting since before opening as one of the core team members. “Joining Little Adventurers has reminded me why I went into childcare 13 year ago; to give high quality care in a loving and supportive environment. Seeing the change in our little ones from when they first arrive and settle; supporting them as they develop all their skills in prime and specific areas; watching them grow in confidence and enjoy their time at nursery before transferring to school. There’s lots of flexibility at this nursery and it has a real family feel. Ginny is my inspiration with her knowledge and her practice.”
