Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - Northolt is a beautifully designed nursery set within Pure Gym Fitness Club.

It offers a range of flexible sessions for children from 3 months to 5 years, with funded sessions also available.

The nursery is always buzzing with life and is a really happy place for all that attend.

The nursery is situated opposite a fantastic park, so in addition to the nursery garden the children make lots of visits there too.

Outdoor learning is encouraged at every opportunity and the children have regular Forest School sessions where they have the opportunity to explore nature, grow fruit and veg and play in a mud kitchen.

Children also enjoy musical movement sessions and local outings which broaden the children’s experiences of the world.

My son has been at Hungry Caterpillars Northolt for over 3 and a half years. I am so happy with this nursery and we will miss the setting and nursery workers a lot! I have recently looked at three nurseries for my baby daughter which are closer to my son's school but I’m unhappy with them all when comparing
them to Hungry Caterpillars.


All of the staff are so friendly and I trust them all with my children, I love the layout of the nursery and that the manager's office overlooks the baby room. They are always doing fun activities with the kids and my son comes home talking about all of the lovely things he’s done and variety of things he’s learned.


Couldn’t recommend more highly.

My child has been in this setting just over 2 years, the current management and staff at the setting put me and my wife at ease, knowing that she is in a nurturing, educational and emotion building environment. Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds and this can be partially attributed to the nurseries
input.

Since my child has started Hungry Caterpillar she has developed a lot made a really good connection with the staff and other children, she really enjoys coming to nursery, she loves all the activities that they do and is very fond of her key person.
As she goes into her last year with you I believe
she will excel and develop more and will be more than ready to start school.
The staff are doing a fantastic job.

Firstly a huge "Thank you" to the Northolt Branch. I am very happy with the support I received at the nursery. I am always welcome to ask questions (especially being a new mum) they advise me where needed and they always ensure the wellbeing of my daughter from her first day at nursery, crying because
she was new at 10 months, to her asking to go nursery to see her favourite teachers and friends. I have seen her growth of which I am overwhelmed with joy and happiness. Now 2 years old my daughter with the help of Northolt is prepping for school.

Your staff are friendly warm and professional. They are organised and keep us well informed and up to date. We love the staff they're like extended family than child care providers. Our son is happy, enjoys attending and misses nursery when on vacation. He was very shy and has become bold and confident
and developed vastly since he joined the nursery. Amazing staff all round.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am so glad I found this nursery.
I feel as though I can ask any question, call anytime and the girls are always friendly and welcoming and make you feel very comfortable.


Most of all my son loves it. He has learnt so much since he started and he loves his key worker as well as the rest of the

staff. He is always happy when he enters and when he leaves and nearly every week he has a little gift or something he's made which is lovely.


You get a full insight of what he has done today and how he has been.


I don't think I could ask for more.

Very pleased with how my son's key worker and all staff at nursery handled readjusting him back after being away on holiday for 3 weeks, especially when he has been very clingy and emotional at morning drop offs.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.899)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.899) out of 10 for Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - Northolt 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.899 for Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - Northolt is calculated as follows: ( (260 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 288 Ratings = 4.899
  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 Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - Northolt is based on 24 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 24 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.
