Crews Hill Day Nursery and Pre-School is a fantastic nursery staffed by a team of trained Early Years practitioners who have a wealth of expertise in providing quality care and education to children aged 3 months to 5 years.

As well as offering light and bright indoor areas, children at the nursery are encouraged to spend time in the garden, which is educationally designed to encourage children to wander, climb, splash.

The team recognise the importance of building and maintaining parent partnerships, and aim to secure bonds between each child and the nursery team by providing daily updates and photos about your child’s routine and activities.

By always encouraging natural curiosity, the nursery team work tirelessly to give children a 'head start' as they take their next steps into the big, exciting world.

Our daughter has had nothing but an amazing experience at the nursery. The staff care so much for all the children and are always concerned with their development and well being. In particular Toni (her key worker) has been central to our daughter's development. She has always adapted to her needs and

We've had such a great experience with Headstart Crews Hill. Our daughter's development over the past 2 years has been amazing, and we've been so happy with all staff and keyworkers who have looked after her.

All staff at Headstart Crews Hill are among the kindest, caring people I have ever come across. Their care for our child, who has additional medical needs, has been amazing. From the chefs who have adapted to his dietary needs, his key people who have taken time out to learn about his needs, to the
support of our entire family. Our son is thriving, and a large reason for that is because of Headstart Crews Hill. I can't thank them enough.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.934)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.934) out of 10 for Crews Hill Day Nursery and Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.934 for Crews Hill Day Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (299 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 318 Ratings = 4.934
  2. 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 Crews Hill Day Nursery and Pre-School is based on 27 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 75 number of registered child places is 15, which has been reached with 27 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
