Thank you for such a lovely review. It's always good to know how much our staff are appreciated! We take great care to work with parents when it comes to developmental stages such as potty training. This consistency in the approach at home and at nursery ensures these go as smoothly as possible.

Thank you for your comments. It is so rewarding for the nursery to have such wonderful reviews from the parents of children in our care. We work very hard to ensure that new children settle well into nursery life with us and it is so true that the children are at the heart of everything we do.

It absolutely blew me away - the setting, the management, staff, ethos, resources and provision! From the
During the settling process my little boy was upset (very normal) and so was I! The staff were amazing with us both and reassured me every step of the way with phone calls, messages on the app, photos and videos. They just went the extra mile and still do now even though he is very settled.
Can't recommend Little Lancing enough!

Thank you so much for such a super review. We understand what a big step it is for a child to join their first nursery and our staff work very hard to settle children into their new environment and to reassure parents who may understandably feel a little apprehensive about the early days of their child's nursery journey.

We love getting these super reviews! Our staff work hard to settle our flow of new starters into life at nursery. The close relationships we build between nursery key person and home play a vital part in a child's time with us. We are so fortunate to have wonderful country and river path walks available on our doorstep and are doing our best to get the children out into the fresh air whenever possible.

So lovely to hear your daughter has settled in so well. It's so good to have so many new children joining us in recent months. We take great care to ensure that parents and children are happy with us before nursery attendance starts. We adapted our settle in sessions with Covid secure measures in place, either outdoors - weather permitting - or within the nursery with additional social distancing, and this little one was among the first to experience this 'new normal' way of settling. We are so looking forward to the time when we can return to our previous settle sessions! Our parents find the app extremely helpful and reassuring, and it's good for us too as parents can add their own comments and observations, especially in these times where face-to-face contact with parents has to be limited.

We were so glad that we made the decision to remain open for our existing children whose parents are Key Workers or in other essential occupations. This gave us some limited capacity to offer temporary childcare to local families whose nurseries had closed entirely. We worked closely with parents to ensure that their children settled in as quickly as possible in such unsettling times. It's wonderful to hear that we were able to help and to maintain continuity, for those children who came our way during the lockdown.

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.614) out of 10 for Little Lancing - Lancing College Day Nursery & Forest School 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 4 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 4.979 for Little Lancing - Lancing College Day Nursery & Forest School is calculated as follows: ( (47 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.979
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 3.635 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Lancing - Lancing College Day Nursery & Forest School is based on 4 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 = 3.375
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 77 number of registered child places is 15.4. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.4 = 0.26
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.
