Overall great experience for all the children, who are thriving in this nursery. One suggestion is ventilation in particulaly rooms upstairs during winter months.

I recommend Devonshire Day Nursery (Chiswick) to anyone looking for a place where their child will be nurtured, encouraged, and inspired to learn. My daughter has been attending this nursery for the past 11 months, and she's thriving. The staff are friendly, caring, and professional. Her Key Person
is invested in her learning and development, as are the other educators. There's a happy atmosphere where children are comfortable to explore and grow at their own pace. I'm impressed by my daughter's language, social and physical skills at only 23 months. She's exposed to a variety of activities including yoga, sports, gardening, cooking, singing and dancing. The food is nutritious and gives me inspiration for what to make at home. I've observed my daughter's progress towards independence, confidence and communication. Daily I bless her loved educators as well as the friend who recommended them. I'm grateful that the first step in my daughter's educational journey has been such a happy one.

Devon Day Nursery has welcomed our son with open arms like was an established child at the nursery. We were reassured from the settling in period to our daily collection at the end of the day and we cannot be more happier with our son there he is so well looked after and cared for and is so happy there.
The ladies are lovely in the caterpillar group and really look after our son like he is their own. It is so warming to see and we are so thankful that he is surrounded by such a great group of women. Thank you all. We also love the personal touches to his journey there - the first name hello and goodbyes, the welcomes and smiles from reception and really appreciate this from a first time parents point of view.

My daughter loves the nursery and the staff. It is very warm and engaging, with fantastic activities. The staff in the room have bonded well with her, and she seems very comfortable and excited to see them. My only constructive comment would be to have a better online system for recording sick/missed
days/additional day requests to make the process easier for parents.

Like our first child, we have our second child in Devonshire Nursery – and we're glad both have attended this great nursery! The staff is lovely, caring, compassionate, and enjoying being part of this nursery. While the first three are important, people who are happy working there and enjoying their
work, do their best - which is exactly what we've been looking for in the people whom we leave our loved children with! Overall, recommend this nursery!

We feel so lucky to have Devonshire and the amazing staff who care so much for our two kids who attend. Our younger son has just started in Caterpillars and his older brother is in Butterflies. Devonshire has such a great team of staff who always have the kids' best interests at the forefront and support
the children brilliantly. Can’t recommend them highly enough!

We are very happy with Devonshire Day (Chiswick). Both of our children love going to nursery every day. From creative activities to the new forest school outings, they are always giving the kids new experiences. The practitioners are wonderful with the kids and really go the extra mile to help them
grow. They have shown such patience and care in supporting our children, from potty training to managing emotions to learning to read. The management and staff are so knowledgeable about early years development and continue to introduce us to new ways to prepare our kids for school and life. Most importantly, we know that they really care about our kids and that means the world to us.

Throughout his four years at Devonshire, my son has gained confidence and skills that will help him through life. All staff at Devonshire are friendly and very knowledgeable. We, as a family, love Devonshire and will recommend to people looking for outstanding child care. My son has made lots of friends
and loves coming in every morning, saying 'hello' to everyone he walks past. Management have been supportive and helpful at every moment. Once again, thank you for everything and keep up the good work.

Both of my children attended Devonshire Day Nursery; my daughter attended from ages 3-4 and my son is still there after starting in the Caterpillar room at 8 months old. I honestly don’t even know where to begin with explaining how much we love this nursery! Our daughter never wanted to go home after
spending the day in the Butterflies room and, to this day, when we stop by to pick up her brother, she insists on visiting her former classroom to say hello to her teachers (and always gives a big running hug)! And my son loves getting messy and playing with his trucks and reading with the teachers in the Ladybird’s room! The amount of activities they set out for the children each day is astounding; from soapy water play to sand to trains and cooking club. It’s truly amazing! The nursery goes above and beyond to love and nurture the children; it really feels like a little family at Devonshire and we feel so fortunate to have had both of our children there.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.807)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.807) out of 10 for Devonshire Day Nursery (Chiswick) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.807 for Devonshire Day Nursery (Chiswick) is calculated as follows: ( (187 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.807

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Devonshire Day Nursery (Chiswick) is based on 19 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 88 number of registered child places is 17.6, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
