Staff are brilliant with my boy he loves going into nursery.
They are attentive and have picked up things with him that will help him going forward.
He runs into the nursery and up to the staff with excitement and comes out happy too.

I have nothing but praise for the staff at little inspirations. They go above and beyond always informs us of how my little one day has been and there is no judgement. Setting is brilliant clean safe and tidy. My little one has come on I see a difference in her each day. She's picking up more speech
even though she doesn't say much in the setting. Their patience is and kindness is outstanding. Always a pleasure to go there.

Lovely staff, beautiful setting my little one doesn't want to leave when I pick her up. Staff managed to settle her perfectly as when she first started going she was upset going in. Outdoor area is fab too. All staff are always more than happy to help. The app updates throughout the day are the best
as I like to know how my little one is getting on when I'm not around.
100% recommend this setting.

Positive environment with extremely helpful and understanding staff members, who are always looking for ways to help and welcome you with open arms. My child has the best time at this nursery and sees the setting as a place she enjoys attending, as well as enjoying learning and continuously showing
improvement because of the techniques and experience the facility is providing.

My daughter has come on so much since September. She started in September and couldn't say a word starting out, now can have a conversation with her and she loves it there and all the teachers.

All staff are amazing, so helpful. Always answer any questions I have on pick up and always let me know how my daughter has been throughout the session. Lovely setting and always looks clean and tidy on drop off. I love the little board in the cloakroom with the week's activities on, love reading what
they get up to and seeing the pictures on the app.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.624)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.624) out of 10 for Little Inspirations Gellideg 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 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 4.924 for Little Inspirations Gellideg is calculated as follows: ( (73 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 79 Ratings = 4.924

  • 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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Inspirations Gellideg is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 20 number of registered child places is 4, which has been reached with 7 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.
