Great nursery, lovely and friendly staff. Fantastic location and easy to get to, whether you're walking, driving or getting public transport. Staff have been a fantastic support for my daughter, her development has come along nicely. Highly recommended.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is beyond fantastic. We discovered Watership Downs Nursery school when my younger brother went there, we were new to the area and it was a highly recommended one. They helped my brother through all his steps he needed help with and he adored going to each and every session. My 1.5-year-old
son now goes there and loves it too. The activities they do with him are fantastic and I love the pictures that he comes home with. The best nursery around.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All 5 of my children have been to Watership Downs Nursery and they have all enjoyed themselves and loved going into nursery. My Twins are the last to join the Nursery and will be leaving in July to start their new adventure at big school, and they will truly miss all the staff, they're all amazing.
The staff are all very accommodating for your child's needs, they are welcoming and always polite and friendly. I totally recommend Watership Downs.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending since Jan 2020 and she absolutely loves it. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming. She gets excited when it's a nursery day and can't wait to attend. She is thriving and cannot wait to see what the next year brings with her lead up to going to school. Highly recommended
nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Twin daughters currently attend. They love going to nursery and talking about their friends and the ladies that look after them to everyone!
As a parent, I am happy they are safe and loved while there. The progression in both of my daughters is fantastic. I have felt very supported as well.
One
of my daughters has additional needs and the nursery do everything they can to support her and work alongside her physiotherapist and occupational therapist.
Wonderful nursery.

Watership Downs Nursery is a really wonderful nursery, my daughter has been going since she turned 2 in October of 2019 and she has come such a long way since she first started there, the staff are all so friendly and understanding and helpful. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to place their
child in a friendly and welcoming environment.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended Watership Downs since September 2019 after changing nurseries. It was the best change we made for her. I cannot make a single fault with the nursery. The staff are the kindest most down to earth ladies I have met. My daughter is excited to go nursery every day and comes home
with the biggest smile on her face with lots of stories to tell! Keep up the good work ladies.

Lovely nursery so welcoming and friendly, my son went here and the nursery staff really helped and supported him every step of his nursery journey. My grandson now attends the nursery and he loves going, he gets very excited when he realises that’s where we are headed.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.813)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.813) out of 10 for Watership Downs Nursery 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 5 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 Watership Downs Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (60 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 60 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 3.813 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Watership Downs Nursery is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.313
  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.
