My daughter has been coming here since she was 10 months old and absolutely loves it here. She gets excited each day she comes. Staff are very friendly and are very informative with what she's had and what she's gotten up to while there.

All 3 of my children have/attending little chimps. They are absolutely amazing. The staff are fantastic and they have helped my children thrive so much. My 4yr old is speech delayed and they have helped her come along so much. Her speech has come along so much. I wouldn't trust any other setting with
my children. They are wonderful and highly recommend.

My son has been attending Little Chimps Hednesford since January 2023. He has thrived in this setting; his speech and language development has been incredible and his fine motor skills are amazing. The staff clearly take the time to impart knowledge and develop the children's skills through play. Most
importantly, the care my son has received throughout his time at Little Chimps so far has been exceptional. He thoroughly enjoys attending nursery and is always happy to be there. He leaves nursery with a huge smile on his face and that is down to the relationships he's built with the staff. I would recommend Little Chimps Hednesford to any parent seeking a flexible nursery setting that will develop strong relationships with families and the children, whilst also setting strong foundations for the children's early learning journeys.

My granddaughter has attended Little Chimps for the past 3 and a half years and this is her final year before starting school.
Little Chimps have always treated my granddaughter with love and kindness and she has built a strong bond with the staff.
There have been two staff members that my granddaughter
and the family think very highly of and thank for all the support they have given not only to us as a family but also to my granddaughter.
Where possible we attend functions organised by Little Chimps to show our support. I know my granddaughter will miss them dearly.

My son has been attending Little Chimps Day Nursery since last June and we are so happy we chose this nursery. As a parent, they are so flexible and will let you add extra days if needed. All the staff are amazing, especially two in particular. My little boy adores them and gets so excited when they
open the door. All the staff take the time to get to know your child and they are all so friendly and welcoming. I would recommend any parent to send their child here.

Both my two children have attended Little Chimps for over a period of 3.5 years. I could not have asked for more from their experience there. The staff are caring and compassionate and familiarise themselves with all children. My children felt safe, and I felt reassured. Regular daily handovers and
excellent communication via telephone and emails. Nothing is ever too much. Flexible and accommodating to all our needs. The staff are what makes this nursery. Really pleased that my children had this positive experience here. Highly recommend.

My little boy has absolutely thrived since starting here in January 2022. He has gained so much confidence from the encouragement of the staff and the positive environment they have created for all the children. They are quick with praise and correction for behaviours shown and are very approachable
and considerate with concerns and development needs. My child isn’t talking much so they’ve been teaching him other ways to communicate and have quickly learned how to find out what he needs. They take the time to understand him as an individual and I feel relieved that he feels secure in their care. They are always doing new activities and crafts designed for the children to learn and explore themed around the seasons or current holidays and events. Although their outside space is limited, there is a wealth of nature spots not far from the setting which they go to explore regularly. I’m really happy with this nursery and how they care for the children in a happy environment.

Our nearly two year old has been attending Little Chimps since he was eight months old. The progress he's made in that time is brilliant, we were especially worried about his social skills due to being born in the lockdown, but this has not been an issue at all. I don't think this would have been the
case if he didn't receive the support and care he does at Little Chimps. The staff are brilliant and the team are very flexible and helpful towards parents like myself that work changing shift patterns.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.572)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.572) out of 10 for Little Chimps Day Nursery Hednesford 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 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 4.972 for Little Chimps Day Nursery Hednesford is calculated as follows: ( (70 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.972

  • 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 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Chimps Day Nursery Hednesford 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 25 number of registered child places is 5, which has been reached with 6 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.
