Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Purple Jay has been incredibly good for our son's development and growth, socially and mentally. Activities are great, and the staff are very caring, helpful, lovely, and professional in their field of work. The development of my son since he joined Purple Jay has been rapid and progressive. I will
be very happy to recommend Purple Jay Nursery to any member of our family or friends. We're so grateful for the good job done so far. God bless you all.
Regards.

The nursery environment is safe for the child and all who look after the child while away in the nursery. Great learning space for child development and growth. The staff are very friendly to the child and parents including grandparents. We get updates online and in person while picking up or dropping
the child to school. Great reports on child welfare and development. Overall the great nursery manager who ensures all things work together well for the welfare and safeguarding of the child both in and outside of the nursery. Excellent!

Review from B G (Father of Child) published on 4 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have sent two children to Purple Jay Lambeth. It's a nurturing place with good outdoor space and friendly, kind staff who seem to enjoy their jobs. Staff turnover, which can be a problem in central London, is not too bad. The activities are varied and well-pitched for each age group, and both my
children have developed exceptionally in terms of social skills, behaviour, and concentration while attending the nursery. They are good at sending pictures and communicating over the app, and the food is healthy and toddler-friendly. It also has a real sense of community with regular events like barbeques and sports days.

Review from Katerina M (Mother of Child) published on 30 July 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When we went on our first viewing of the nursery 2 years ago, I was amazed by the welcoming approach by the staff giving me the confidence that my child will be in good hands and I was right. The staff are brilliant, my son loves them all. They are so positive and lovable. They teach the children to
have good manners, to respect their friends and the adults and to have good sharing. My son had difficulties with speaking and eating and we were working together to improve that. He had one-on-one sessions with one of the senior member staff at the nursery and we continued working at home, with advice from languages and speech therapists. He had brilliant results. With the help of the staff members, he started eating more things. They were really, really patient with him, as he had a lot of tantrums at the beginning. My son will be starting reception and all I can say is thank you Purley Jay for the excellent care and all that you have taught him. We are so happy.

Purple Jay is an amazing nursery. All of the staff are exceptional, they care deeply about all of the children and go above and beyond to ensure that all children make progress. Staff ensure that they know everything about the children down to their likes and dislikes. My son loves going to nursery
every day. He has a special bond with most of the teachers as they take a real interest in him.

My daughter is very happy at Purple Jay Lambeth and extremely fond of both the staff and her peers. We were initially attracted by the outdoor space, which they use a lot, and are also particularly please with the low staff turnover.
We feel the nursery is well run and they have coped extremely well
during Covid. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When we moved to the UK, our biggest concern was the children's daycare as our daughter was only 8 months old. We looked around our area and Purple Jay Nursery was one of many we have seen. It is, to say the least, that dealing with parents is excellent and then onboarding our daughter to the nursery
was managed excellently by the staff. There are always activities to teach children different things ranging from sharing to simply behaviour. The team is always helpful and supportive in all of our questions and they always go over and beyond. Lastly, the price, this is by far the best place for service provided around London Zone 1.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.746)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.746) out of 10 for Purple Jay Lambeth 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.933 for Purple Jay Lambeth is calculated as follows: ( (56 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.933
  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 3.813 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Purple Jay Lambeth 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:

    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 = 3.5
    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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.313
  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.
