I could not be happier with the nursery. I feel that my daughter is well supported and taken care of. It gives me peace of mind that I leave her in good hands. Well done.

Review from T J (Mother of Child) published on 17 April 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My child has attended Al Falah Sunflower Nursery for 1 year now. She has formed an amazing relationship with some of the staff. In particular one teacher who comes with a bundle of energy & enthusiasm to match the kids. She always opens the door with a big smile and greets children with their name'
making them feel happy to be there. Putting this aside, learning wise I feel the nursery should collaborate more with parents to ensure children learn, and parents can be aware of what is being taught week to week. Feedback to parents on how their child is progressing would also be greatly appreciated. Overall a good nursery.

The nursery is brilliant with my little one as she doesn't talk that much. She uses sign more than speech and the Aunties are working hard to make her feel included and comfortable. I am a mother who has disabilities and they offer help which is amazing. Thank you.

This nursery is amazing, the staff the learning is very good.This is my third child that is currently attending the nursery. She is very shy since she has started, however she is gradually buidling confidence with the teachers and other children with the help of nusery teachers. They are working very
hard with her to make her more comfortable in the settings. I woudl definitely recommend this nursery because the quality of care is brilliant.

Both my daughters had an amazing experience. They learned a lot social and educational. Being a COVID baby gained so much confidence and is now thriving. The teachers were caring and created an environment that had a positive impact and still memorable to them. Thank you.

My daughter really likes it here at Al Falah The Sunflower Nursery. She wakes up in the morning and hands me her uniform. She says "Mummy can you help me put it on, I need to go to nursery." She has made a few friends. She tells me about her day and sings nursery rhymes. Overall she is happy there.

Since my daughter has been attending Sunflower Nursery she has really come out of her shell and become more confident.
Her speaking skills have developed immensely and she has also shown high levels of intellect whilst mixing in with her cousins - thank you to all at Sunflower.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.891)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.891) out of 10 for Al Falah The Sunflower Nursery 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 63 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 63 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 4.891 for Al Falah The Sunflower Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (679 Excellents x 5) + (66 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 753 Ratings = 4.891
  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 Al Falah The Sunflower Nursery is based on 63 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 65 number of registered child places is 13, which has been reached with 63 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.
