Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We currently have our third child going through Little Crackers and couldn't be more pleased with everything they have to offer. Our little girl (3) has grown exponentially in confidence with her knowledge and understanding, diligence and communication surpassing our expectations leading into her starting
school in September. Our older boys (4 and 7) both started Little Crackers from the age of 3 and have thrived in school using the platform that Little Crackers built for them. The acting manager has been a constant and stable presence who ensures that her staff treat our children with kindness and respect and encourage them to grow into their unique selves. Two teachers in particular, to name but a few of the incredible staff at Little Crackers ensure that our children learn, grow relationships and enjoy every second of their time at nursery; we could not be more thankful.

Our child has been attending this nursery for the past 12 months and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Over the past year, we've seen remarkable progress in our child's social, emotional and cognitive skills. He has grown in confidence, become more communicative, and developed a love for learning
through the nursery's engaging and creative activities - he especially loves his time at Forest School. The structured yet flexible approach has allowed him to thrive at his own pace and we're constantly impressed by the new things he comes home excited to share.
The nursery environment has a great balance of playtime, learning and outdoor activities. The staff are always approachable and keep us well-informed about his progress. Overall, we are grateful for the positive impact this nursery has had on our child's development. He is genuinely happy to go in every day and that speaks volumes. We highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nursery.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.317)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.317) out of 10 for Little Crackers Nursery 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 5.000 for Little Crackers Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.317 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Crackers Nursery is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.4 = 0.192

  • 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.
