  • Ford Road Nursery & Pre-School, Dagenham
Rated Outstanding by Ofsted (March 2018), Ford Road Nursery & Pre-School provides childcare and education to children from birth to 5 years old.

You can find them in Dagenham, not far from Dagenham Heathway tube and Old Dagenham Park. The Nursery is light and spacious, with separate rooms and adjoining gardens for different age groups. The Nursery also has a fully-equipped sensory room.

The experienced staff plan each day with help from the children. There are lots of activities to enjoy… climbing trees, growing veg, woodwork, arts and crafts, storytelling, baking, even the occasional sing-along around the firepit!

The Nursery’s in-house chef provides all meals from scratch using recipes from LEYF’s nutritious menu.

Review from M W (Mother of Child) published on 28 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery is so fantastic. The building is clean and well resourced and is a happy friendly place to come into. My daughter has loved being here and settled in straight away. All staff know her, come and take an interest in her development. It really is a pleasure to come in and see the staff and
children and i'm so sad to be relocating and having to leave Ford Road as I doubt we will find anywhere else.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.638) out of 10 for Ford Road Nursery & Pre-School 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 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 4.761 for Ford Road Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (90 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 117 Ratings = 4.761
  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 4.877 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ford Road Nursery & Pre-School is based on 10 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 57 number of registered child places is 11.4. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.4 = 0.877
  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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2009

Hello, my name is Pauline and I have been the manager of Ford Road Nursery & Pre-School since 2009. I particularly enjoy spending time in the rooms with the children, observing them having fun during their play. We really stand out from other nurseries, because of our large outside play areas for all age groups. I have an open-door approach to encourage good communication between management and the staff team.
