Review from E G (Mother of Child) published on 19 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Beautiful outdoor setting, lots for the children to do, my little boy especially enjoyed the pig and chickens and digging in the muddy construction area. He didn't want to leave his visit and has been asking when he is going to his new nursery. We were both to feel very welcome and I know my little
boy can be himself there and is surrounded by wonderful staff.
Reply from Jennifer OShea, Customer Experience Team Leader at Tiptree Day Nursery and Pre-SchoolThank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted to hear how much your little boy enjoyed his visit, especially meeting the pig and chickens and exploring the muddy construction area! It means a great deal to us that he felt so happy and excited that he didn't want to leave.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I’ve been using this nursery for over 8 years now having my son first and now daughter, cannot fault it in any way. The staff are extremely responsible, efficient and always willing to help and improve. Both children created so many amazing memories there and I’m also personally extremely thankful for
the girls helping me to go through so many stages - solid foods, potty training and so on. we love you ABC Day Nursery (Tiptree) Ltd, you are the best!

I cannot thank all the staff at ABC enough for all they have done for my boys over the years and continue to do.
They are all the kindest women you could ever meet who go above and beyond for all the children in their care.
The amount that both my boys have grown whilst with them is amazing.
They
have a lovely, well organised, clean setting with a great space for the kids to run around outside.
I go to work each day knowing they are safe, well looked after, fed healthy meals (healthier than I’d ever manage to cook), being educated and having fun.
These beautiful ladies do a brilliant job looking after everyone’s most precious gifts day in day out and deserve an award for all their hard work.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.156)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.156) out of 10 for Tiptree Day Nursery and Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Tiptree Day Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  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 3.156 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tiptree Day Nursery and Pre-School is based on 1 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 = 3
    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. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.4 = 0.156
  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.
