Both our daughters love Little Chums. The team make their time together so much fun. The children are encouraged to be free and learn to make choices. I love that they can have so much outside time, whatever the weather, and they always organise fun trips and outings. We as parents are always kept well
informed of what they're doing. A great pre-school! Highly recommend.

Both my children have attended or are currently attending Little Chums (East court) in East Grinstead. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly. With a good ratio of staff to children each day. It's not overcrowded. Never had any major issues whatsoever, with the kids being able to participate in learning
activities a lot - it definately shows quickly at home. Parents informed via the app and private closed social groups online. Regular trips to the nearby parks, woods, fields, town often take place with the kids loving all the outdoor time, which is why we favour little chums over other pre schools in east grinstead.also very understanding about allergies (my daughter is a coeliac).

My son is 2.5 and he started attending little chums at the beginning of January. He had a great time from the 1st day and settled in well. He comes out every day saying how much fun he had! The staff are lovely and great at encouraging and distracting my son on the odd day that's he's a bit hesitant
to go in.
We have received some great feedback about his time at the nursery, what he gets up to each day, and how he is developing.

My little boy started going to Little Chums in September 2024, he loves it so much, going outside, playing in the forests, being allowed to jump in muddy puddles! I love how all the children are allowed to get as messy and muddy as they want. He is always so happy when I pick him up telling me all about
his day. All the nursery's workers are so kind and caring and that really shows when my son talks about them all the time to me.

My little boy started at Little Chums in spring 2024 on 2 mornings a week. I wanted him to meet other children who may be going to the same primary school as him and to mix with others outside of his childminder setting.
He can be cautious of new settings and situations, but settled in so well at
Little Chums.
He now goes one full day and has lunch there, as well as attending the half day. He takes a packed lunch, with a fruit snack too. The team are encouraging healthy eating and nutrition.
He loves it! The outdoor play, woodland exploring, walks into town, visits to the library, the farm and more are all well organised and involve learning through play.
He's had a sports day, a nativity and a party.
The staff team are excellent.
He will be sad to leave in the summer to go to school.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.299)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.299) out of 10 for Little Chums Pre School - East Grinstead 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 5 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 4.966 for Little Chums Pre School - East Grinstead is calculated as follows: ( (57 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.966

  • 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 4.333 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Chums Pre School - East Grinstead is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.833

  • 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.
