Excellent staff, so understanding and always meet the demands of my child, even when she tries to push the boundaries. Staff are always approachable and welcoming! My child always comes home so exhausted which can mean only one thing she has had a busy day playing with her friends.

Lovely little nursery. My child has really settled in well since September, has grown so much in confidence and loves going to school. Staff are friendly and really helpful. One of the best decisions I made sending my child to Little Owls.

Such a positive setting since the recent takeover. All the staff really happy, friendly and always thorough with drop off and pick up handover. My little one loves attending and is really thriving. Couldn't be happier with the service being provided.

We chose Little Owls for its unique approach, access to outdoor provision and the Hygge Accreditation. Our little boy loves going to nursery and has flourished under the care of the committed staff. As working parents, we are kept well informed of his progress and achievements and really couldn’t be
happier with the setting.

My son loves going to Little Owls School! He has come on leaps and bounds since he started at Nursery/Pre School. All the staff are brilliant and go above and beyond. All the staff are friendly and caring. They are always welcoming towards the parents and always have the time to talk to the parents.
The Manager who works at Little Owls has been extremely supportive of me regarding my son who has autism. I would highly recommend Little Owls School.

Reply from Laura, Manager at S4YC @ Little Owls Preschool & Nursery

Thank you for your lovely review! We are always here to help in any way that we can and we look forward to continuing to work together to support your child throughout their journey at Little Owls and beyond.

My daughter loves it at Little Owls, she always comes out with a big smile on her face. She loves all the staff and they all go above and beyond. When she first started at Little Owls she was very shy but her confidence has grown huge amounts.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.473)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.473) out of 10 for S4YC @ Little Owls Preschool & Nursery 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 8 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 4.904 for S4YC @ Little Owls Preschool & Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (85 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 94 Ratings = 4.904

  • 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 4.569 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for S4YC @ Little Owls Preschool & Nursery is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 52 number of registered child places is 10.4. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.4 = 0.769

  • 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.
