Review from Gemma P (Mother of Child) published on 10 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Platform One is a wonderful nursery to send your little one to. My daughter has been there for 14-months now, and we love all aspects of it. The baby room is such a lovely place to start nursery life, with two brilliant staff members who are overly caring and loving and genuinely interested in all parts
of the children's wellbeing. My daughter has recently moved into the toddler room, and it's equally a great place to have fun - a different environment (vs maximum six children in the baby room) but great exposure for little ones to develop. My daughter has a couple of allergies and dietary requirements, and the team have adapted the menus for her accordingly and changed the menu to accommodate our requests for a balanced diet. I couldn't rate Platform One more highly, would strongly recommend to all.

My son went to this nursery full time from the age of 11 months until he started school this year. My daughter is 2 years old and has been attending full time from 10 months of age. All members of staff are genuinely kind and caring towards the children and ensure that children are made to feel safe
and secure in a homely environment. Children are given nutritious meals every day which includes a hot meal at tea time as well as lunchtime. Parents are kept well informed of their child's developments and daily sheets are handed to provide useful information e.g. how long a child has napped for, how much they ate, and a brief description of the activities they undertook. Emphasis is placed on teaching the children to be polite and caring towards others, encouraging them to be curious about the world. My son has benefitted enormously from this nursery and having spent 4 years at Platform One, he has thrived and settled easily into school life - all of this is down to Platform One!

Platform One Nursery Ltd is a great environment for preschool children and babies. Both my sons attend Platform One Nursery Ltd and absolutely love their nursery. They often don't want to go home which is a testament to the staff that work there. They are very well cared for and have developed so much
since they started. I would definitely recommend Platform One Nursery Ltd to friends and family looking for a nursery.

Platform One is a nurturing, homely and friendly nursery. The staff are thorough and supportive of the children. My children enjoy attending and have developed strong trusting relationships with the staff.
The days seem well organised and structured, however, I would like to have seen a stronger focus
on learning and milestones set for children depending on their capabilities, due to the small setting and focus on play children may outgrow it fairly quickly.

Review from Becky B (Mother of Child) published on 4 January 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We highly recommend this nurturing, friendly and very welcoming nursery. My son has been going to Platform 1 for 2.5 years - from the age of 6 months - and has been looked after so well by the girls in the baby room and now the nursery room. He loves going in! All of the staff genuinely love the kids
and make sure they have lots of interesting activities every day. We love receiving the Tapestry emails so we can see the pictures and videos from his days. The food is all freshly cooked on site and is varied, nutritious and encourages him to eat a varied diet. There is a very well-stocked and safe outside play area that is used as much as possible. He’s made some lovely friends, too. It’s great knowing your child is somewhere so lovely when you have to work.

Review from Lynne C (Mother of Child) published on 9 November 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The manager and her team have made the transition for my little ones first time in nursery, and my return to work, a great experience, and for that, I am very grateful. The nursery is like home from home and is always kept clean and tidy, with lots of bright visual displays and suitable toys for her
to play with. You can see that her keyworkers really compliment each other and work very well together. They constantly keep my little one entertained with different educational activities throughout the day and keep me updated with what she has been up to. Overall we are both happy with our experience of the nursery so far. Thank you.

My son has been going to Platform One Nursery for a year now and we couldn't be happier with our choice. The girls in the baby and toddler rooms are absolutely brilliant. They know and love my child and I can see that they respect his needs and likes and dislikes. Management and staff retention are
excellent which means that the children do not see unfamiliar, agency staff every now and then. Children numbers are also relatively low which makes it a homey and warm environment for the little ones. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough!

Review from Sarah C (Mother of Child) published on 27 October 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have had one or more children at Platform One since 2012 and have been consistently impressed with the love, nurture and care that the staff there have shown to my children. Being able to leave the children in an environment where they have felt safe, loved and happy has meant that I have been able
to hop on the train to work without any hang-ups.
The management team are very responsive; I recently suggested that they consider a refresh of the ICT resources for the children and they quickly responded with new touchscreen tablets for use in supporting the children’s learning.
Highly recommended.

Platform One is a fantastic nursery. I have two children who attend (toddler and baby). The staff are incredibly caring, helpful, friendly, enthusiastic, energetic and the kids love them! There are two rooms, with a lovely outdoor play area for both age groups. The menu is impressive, with lots of variety.
I really do recommend this nursery.

My first born daughter attended this nursery and now my younger daughter has just started too. Lovely little nursery with good facilities and friendly staff. I feel more comfortable that it is not too big. Both my daughters love the nursery.

Review from Gemma P (Mother of Child) published on 2 November 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 16 month old son has been in the baby room for 2 months. He has settled really quickly and I have felt completely confident in the staff which has made my transition to work so much easier. The staff in the baby room are fantastic and already seem to know my son well. They have all worked there for
a long time which is reassuring and staff turnover is very low. The baby room is small with a home from home feeling.


The staff arrange lots of activities like water play, arts and crafts, outdoor play and baking. They leave really sweet entries in his log book each week so I know what they've been up to. They communicate well with parents asking permission to go on outdoor trips and informing of any illness or accidents promptly.


I would definitely recommend to others and I'm sure I will send number 2 there eventually!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.789)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.789) out of 10 for Platform One Nursery Ltd 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.889 for Platform One Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (97 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.889
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Platform One Nursery Ltd is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 32 number of registered child places is 6.4, which has been reached with 9 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.
