  • Little Inspirations Aman, Aberdare
Little Inspirations Aman is set within the Aman Children & Family Centre in Aberdare and offers childcare to children aged 2 and over up to school age.

There is a lovely, large garden where children can get plenty of fresh air, with a standard day being 8am till 6pm.

The garden is used in all weathers and children can take part in a huge range of physical activities where they can enhance their gross motor skills. These include playing on bikes and scooters and using the climbing frame, slide and parachute as well as playing with sand and water and digging and getting messy.

Staff also encourage children to use their fine motor skills with activities that are age and ability appropriate such as doing jigsaws and finger painting as well as mark making.





and is registered to cover for children over the age of 2 years old. This lovely nursery has a wonderful large garden and excellent resources providing Flying Start and private childcare places.

Everyone who works at the nursery are fantastic! They are so welcoming. My son used to be very shy and wouldn't speak, but since going to the nursery in 2024 he's come on leaps and bounds. I can't thank them enough for everything

Very happy my son went here between the ages of 2 and 3 before school and loved it. We then decided through the summer holidays to put him back and he settled back in like he never left. The staff are fantastic and very friendly, would highly recommend it.

Aman Centre Little Inspirations is a fantastic little nursery with every activity and toy you could think of! The girls there are so friendly and helpful and even showed me around the nursery which made me feel at ease straight away! The amount of activities the children do is mind-blowing they just
never get bored! My little girl used to run in and not look back and would talk about the ladies before she went to sleep at night! The manager was always on hand to answer questions and the photos sent every day gave me an insight into what they were all up to. Fantastic nursery with amazing staff who work hard and love what they do.

Everyone has been amazing, as a first-time parent and being completely new to the area they have really made me feel comfortable and welcome. My daughter has become so confident and is so happy when she gets to see her friends. When we had an upset drop-off they sent over pictures to reassure us that
she was happy and playing. Can't rate them enough would recommend them to everyone with little ones!

Absolutely amazing and supportive members of staff. Beautiful environment which provides my grandchild with educational and curious approach set ups to play and explore something different everyday inside and outside.
They also involve me in the planning by asking what my grandchild's interests are
they then feed this into the planning. My grandchild goes on educational trips including Castell Coch and also local walks to parks and the post office. I have daily photos of what my grandchild does throughout the day along with information of what she has eaten that day through the setting app. The setting also provides healthy snacks and dinners in line with healthy preschool. My grandchild has made excellent relationships with all staff and it's clear to see when I collect her where she never wants to come home this shows me that she's had an amazing day if I could give the nursery 11/10 I would.

What an amazing team of staff, my son struggles with new people, but you all made him feel welcome and brought him out of his shell. He has come on so much since being at creche. You catered for his milk allergy needs from day one which made me feel at ease.

Little Inspirations is an absolutely lovely little nursery. My son enjoys going there so much and has really come on with his speech and also interacting a lot better with others. My daughter also attended here and she also loved her time there. The staff are always friendly and happy and always seem
to go that little bit extra to make sure the children are taken good care of and enjoy every day. I love the app they use to communicate and the regular pictures we get with little updates and it's also lovely to see how they set the nursery areas up each day ready for the children to arrive.

An amazing inclusive, immersive and engaging nursery that sees every child's potential and ability as their own and nurtures them to their max.
I can't highly praise Little Inspirations Aman enough, for not only supporting and encouraging my child but offering me as a parent and person in my own right
support too. They see individuals and not statistics, they encompass every child with a mother's love and guidance and as a mother that's exactly what I want from a nursery setting. Staff that engage and enrich my child's life in a setting just as engaging and enriching.
As a nursery they are flawless. Every day multiple activities set out, every day a different path for a child to follow, a new adventure into learning and free open play with outdoor access. Any parent leaving their child here is giving them the best start to a bright and exciting future as it's the right foundation to build up.

The nursery and staff are absolutely amazing. My daughter can sometimes be a little upset about going to nursery (become very clingy to me lately) and the girls are amazing with the distractions and sending me photos 10 minutes later ensuring me that she's settled and completely fine. All the girls
are very chatty and always have a smile on their faces, with a positive attitude towards all the children. My daughter's key worker is absolutely brilliant, keeping me updated on her development and even giving a written report which she goes through face to face with me. Every time I go to the setting there are at least 5 different activities set up for the children and the back door (into the garden) is always open for the children to explore. All the staff really take their time in ensuring each child is happy, and well cared for, and makes sure they are happy within the setting. My daughter attended the nursery since January and I've never seen a single child crying. Highly recommend Little Inspirations.

The nursery has provided exceptional support to both myself and my daughter during her stay. The staff is incredibly polite, caring, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure our needs are met. I am consistently kept informed and contacted when necessary, which gives me great peace of mind.
I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding care and attention my daughter receives at this nursery.

All the staff are really welcoming, smiling every day as they meet you at the door, greeting us in Welsh (a big bonus as a Welsh-speaking family). They keep you updated every day with messages and photos of what your child has done during the session which is great and any concerns are dealt with with
great empathy and professionalism. The nursery environment is full of amazing activities set up to promote curiosity and follow the children's interests to help with their development. Can't fault it at all. Can I give them 11 out of 10?

Absolutely lovely nursery, my daughter loves the staff and all her friends, they send us fantastic updates of her day and my daughter has become more confident and opened up as a person. She is amazing with her communication and talking in sentences now, managed to learn a lot within the past few months
since she started and I'm grateful to the staff for teaching her the best skills she can and has learned.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.996)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.996) out of 10 for Little Inspirations Aman 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.996 for Little Inspirations Aman is calculated as follows: ( (226 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.996

  • 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 Inspirations Aman is based on 19 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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 19 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.
