Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A fantastic nursery, great facilities, friendly staff, excellent communication between management and parents and just an all-round pleasant experience to use them. Freshly cooked meals and daily updates on our son's activities, what he ate, and what he enjoyed. Cannot fault.

A very well-run nursery. Great staff and facility. Compared to our new nursery, we feel the food offering at Dicky Birds is far superior, with two hot meals offered. We will miss the staff and nursery friends our daughter made during her time at Dicky Birds.

Review from Mariana K (Mother of Child) published on 25 May 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our experience with Dicky Birds has been great since we've joined. Our daughter was 2 years old, the settling in process was very respectful and the staff were really open and flexible to accommodate our request for a few extra days when we realised they were necessary to make the process smoother.
Our daughter loves the staff and her classmates and always comes back home happy and telling us all sort of stories! She particularly enjoys playing in their beautiful garden. The staff are loving and caring and we can see how our daughter likes them all. Their approach counts with a good balance between free time and guided activities, and our daughter's development during this past year was clear. The community of parents is also great and we enjoy some playdates over the weekend. I love Dicky Birds open and honest communication through the daily reports but also through the weekly newsletter (which I look forward to every Friday!). I couldn't recommend Dicky Birds enough.

The level of care at Dicky Birds Queens Road is outstanding - they are diligent, committed and full of warmth for the children. Our little one loves her family there and makes excellent progress. The management are attentive and knowledgeable about the children and their families and specific needs.

We've been super happy with our sons' time at Queens Road. The staff in both their rooms have been brilliant, friendly, attentive, and professional. Both of our sons have enjoyed their time and grown throughout.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son has been at Dicky Birds Queens Road for three years - he has been well looked after and cared for. He enjoys the activities, the food and has made good friends. I am very pleased with how the nursery is run, we receive daily handovers and management is in frequent contact with us on my son's
progress. The refurbishment has made a difference as there is more outdoor and indoor space for the children to play.

Review from Jasmine RP (Mother of Child) published on 25 May 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our two children have had several years at Dicky Birds Queens Road between them and have both really enjoyed the experience, it’s been great for their development and ability to make friends. The staff have been consistently strong and built a good relationship with the children, despite the inevitable
turnover over the years. Expansion into the neighbouring building takes Dicky Birds Queens Road to another level in terms of space and facilities for the children, so we would certainly recommend it to others.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.416)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.416) out of 10 for Dicky Birds Day Nursery and Preschool Wimbledon, Queens Road is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 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 4.766 for Dicky Birds Day Nursery and Preschool Wimbledon, Queens Road is calculated as follows: ( (120 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.766
  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 4.65 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Dicky Birds Day Nursery and Preschool Wimbledon, Queens Road is based on 13 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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.65
  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.
