My daughter attends Little Hearts Nursery (Shipley). It is an amazing Nursery with very caring and loving staff. My daughter absolutely loves attending and even after a full day, she gets upset when I go collect her as she wants to stay even longer. She is looked after well by the staff. My daughter
is never bothered when I leave her at the nursery as she enjoys it so much. Even after coming home as soon as I mention the word "Nursery" she gets her shoes and coat thinking we are going back. This goes to show how amazing of a Nursery it is and how the staff build a good rapport and relationship with the children! As parents we are always listened to and our needs are catered for by the amazing friendly team. Thank you Little Hearts!

My grandchild is quite a late developer. He was very shy when he first attended nursery. We worried he was not ready to settle without his mum. The staff were exceptional; kind, caring, patient, understanding and really worked with him. His settling-in period was shorter than we expected. He settled
and he loves it, he has learned so much and developed emotionally and intellectually. Every member of staff treated him as if he was their own child.

My son has been going to this nursery for 3 years and my daughter started last year and they love every second, they are amazing with my kids and my son who has one-to-one due to SEN and speech difficulties and the lady who looks after him is just amazing he dotes on her, they have personally helped
me through a lot as well and I’ll always be thankful for that
The management staff and SEN staff are all amazing and go above and beyond. My kid's needs are always met. I highly recommend this nursery.

Little Heart's services are professional and staff are extremely attentive to the needs of my children. My son has been attending for 3 years now and in that time Little Hearts has assisted us greatly in actioning assessments regarding my son's likely autism difficulties. He now has a one-on-one carer
who is more than capable of caring for my son and his additional needs.
My 18-month-old daughter now also attends. Again the care she receives each day is of a high standard. She is meeting all her targets and I have seen great progress since she began attending.
For both children, I receive regular updates via their app which has a great portal allowing for good communication between myself and the nursery.
Extremely happy and would certainly recommend it to anyone.

When my son started Little Hearts just over a year ago he was a little behind with milestones. He has thrived in this nursery and I have always been happy with how caring and understanding the staff are. My son loves going to nursery and it takes the worry away when he's so happy to see the staff and
friends.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. My daughter attended from opening till starting reception this year and loved every minute of it. Her confidence and academic learning grew massively during this time. My son now attends Little Hearts and loves it just as much.

I have had three children come to Little Hearts one of which graduated to go into reception. The staff have always catered for my oldest needs with having autism, they have helped her come on loads with her speech and development, and she absolutely loved coming to Little Hearts every day. My youngest
two are still at Little Hearts loving it and growing up and developing well with the Little Hearts staff help.

My son really struggled settling into nursery life and the staff in his room could not have been kinder or nicer to him as well as myself. They all showed real compassion even checking how I was coping with the transition! He now loves going and has a lovely connection with all the staff.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.729)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.729) out of 10 for Little Hearts Nursery (Shipley) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 4 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 4.854 for Little Hearts Nursery (Shipley) is calculated as follows: ( (41 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.854

  • 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 3.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Hearts Nursery (Shipley) 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 40 number of registered child places is 8. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.5

  • 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.
