Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been going here since he was 1 and he really loves it here. The staff and management are very kind and transparent and you can see that they put the needs of the kids first. There are lots of activities on all the time and I really appreciate the observations sent via the app from time to
time.

My daughter went to Fledgelings Hornchurch and started in the toddler room. She had a really good relationship with her key worker. She then progressed to the pre-school room, where she has had a few key workers. Notwithstanding this, my daughter has felt comfortable going to all staff and she talks
about how friendly they are. There are lots of activities for the kids to do. It's nice to have the app where they share photos and keep parents updated.

Review from Kelley H (Mother of Child) published on 14 July 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter started at the nursery when she was 13 months. The care was very good in the baby room, and I love the app that keeps you up to date. Unfortunately, her key worker left during her time in the baby room but she adapted well to her new key worker. The nursery indoors and outdoors is always
very clean and they have nice wooden outdoor equipment. She is now in the Sparrows Room. The care is also very good. My only criticisms are there was a lot of staff turnover when she first moved to that room which seems to have settled now, and also that she has come out quite a few times very dirty (her face which could be cleaned). Overall Fledgelings Day Nursery Hornchurch is a good nursery and the staff are very caring and know the children well.

Good nursery and would recommend. Supplies a good service (exactly what we require) and since the new app or website, it’s made it even better! Only room for improvement on occasions is the food is not up to my expectation.

Review from Andy C (Father of Child) published on 8 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have had two children over a period of years at Fledgelings Day Nursery (Hornchurch). Throughout this period I have been very content will all aspects of the setting. Both children looked forward to attending and always had pleasant stories when collected about the day's activities. Staff and management
were always approachable and took any concerns on board. Measures have been appropriately put in place since the emergence of the Covid virus and we are frequently notified of any necessary changes. This provides reassurance knowing that my children are being looked after in a safe, structured environment and enjoy the company of staff and other children whilst learning at the same time.

Review from R H (Mother of Child) published on 5 August 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff at the nursery are friendly and approachable. My son's keyworker always gives me updates on his progress and what he's been doing that day, which is much appreciated. I think however the nursery could improve by taking the children on outings more (park, library etc) as there's so much to
see and learn outside of the nursery. Improvements could also be made with recording information on the online system. For example, sometimes I'm told verbally that my son doesn't eat cereal or Ice lollies but then on the online system it's recorded he ate all cereal and all of the ice lolly, so this could be improved so that it's more accurate.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. It's easy to drop off and worry all day about what your child is doing but with the level of care, commitment, activities and staff, I don't give the day a second thought! Everybody is friendly, the staff really engage with the kids, there are always activities
going on. The management are incredibly supportive and make so much effort with individual families. I am so pleased my daughter goes here and have peace that she is well looked after throughout the day.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.847)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.847) out of 10 for Fledgelings Day Nursery (Hornchurch) 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.847 for Fledgelings Day Nursery (Hornchurch) is calculated as follows: ( (165 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 189 Ratings = 4.847
  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 Fledgelings Day Nursery (Hornchurch) is based on 16 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8, which has been reached with 16 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.
