After the first month of nursery I can say that I am very satisfied with the services of Cygnets Day Nursery. I really like the staff, they are kind and give us time to introduce ourselves each day. My daughter is happy to go to nursery every time, we really like the weekly physical activities, I think
they are very important both physically and mentally for the harmonious development of a child. I can also note that there is a balance between the number of teachers and the number of chidren, they take care of them permanently and make sure that everything is okay. Thank you for taking care of our children, all the best.

Our son spent 2 years at Cygnets Day Nursery and we could not have been happier with the care he received. The staff are kind, available for any queries, and always loving. The activities, with special theme days throughout the year, weekly sport sessions, forest school, French lessions. The monthly
newsletters ensure parents know what is going on, and the wonderful Christmas concert, sports day and bird world outing allow families to connect with each other.

From the moment we first looked around the nursery, we felt a welcoming atmosphere that instantly put us at ease. The staff are nothing short of incredible, caring and attentive.
Our child absolutely loves going to nursery every day. It is always filled with exciting, creative activities - from painting,
nature walks and storytime.
It has been amazing to watch our little one grow in confidence and independence.


The communication from the team is excellent. We love receiving daily updates and photos that give us insight into what our child has been doing throughout the day.


We are so greatful to have found Cygnets. It feels like a second home and we can't recommend it highly enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have two sons and have experienced three different nurseries - Cygnets Nursery has by far been the best. My younger son felt like he was part of a loving and caring family here. What impressed me most was how parents can collect their child at any time - showing the nursery's openness and confidence
in their care. My son was always clean, happy, and well looked after. The staff are Happy, warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. You can sense the positive, non-toxic atmosphere the moment you enter. Another big strength is the stability of the team - many staff have been there for over 10 years, and each child has a consistent key worker who builds real trust over time. That made a huge difference in his experience. I'm truly thankful for the love and peace of mind this nursery gave us. Special thanks to all the amazing staff and to the wonderful manager. Highly recommended!

We have been extremely happy with the quality of care provided over the years our son has attended. The staff are attentive and friendly and know all the children like their own, nothing is too much. The staff have worked at the setting for a long time and are clearly happy, which shows in their care.
The school provides a great setting, indoors and outdoors, and extra activities are well planned. You pay for quality care, and it definitely is. We couldn't have picked a better easy years setting.

Cygnets Day Nursery has provided 4 years of care for my two children. I have felt so safe, reassured and in the loop constantly. My children have liked ALL the staff over the years and so have I. The safety, cleanliness, facilities and management have all been brilliant. The outside space was the main
reason I chose the nursery and I have no regrets at all. Thank you for 4 years of support and being an important part in my children's stories.

We are so over the moon with Cygnets, it's nothing short of excellent. Our little boy started in Oct at 10 months old and has developed leaps and bounds, of which I'm certain Cygnets has undoubtedly helped. It's abundantly clear how much our son loves his time here. The staff are wonderful, friendly
and caring towards all the children. Communication is brilliant and they are extremely accommodating towards any requests you have. The food is definitely worth a mention too. They have a lovely chef on site cooking fresh and nutritious food. It's clear that the nursery is very well managed and kept impeccably clean. I would without doubt recommend Cygnets.

The entire team at Cygnets are fantastic. From the moment you walk through the door to drop your child off you are greeted warmly and your child by name (even if the staff member doesn't work with your child). The updates received via the app are great, show what your little one is getting up to. At
the end of the day day, when collecting, the team take the time to fill you in on your child's day, they know the smallest details really showing care and attention. Cygnets is great, my daughter loves her time here.

Absolutely over the moon with Cygnets! All of the staff are caring, friendly, and welcoming and our daughter has flourished and grown so much in confidence since attending. The activities that are organised are brilliant and our daughter especially loves to dress up and have fun on the themed days and
do sports in the garden with her friends. The food and meals are fab and the garden is such a great big space and wonderful for the children to play outdoors and explore.

This is a wonderful nursery. The staff greet all children by name with a smile every morning. The staff are unfailingly friendly, patient, kind and sensitive to the little ones' needs and those of parents/grandparents. Feedback to my daughter is excellent and her little one has thrived and progressed
with fun, safety and individual development top of the agenda. Can't praise them enough!

My son has been attending for two weeks, he is 10 months old.
Prior to joining, we considered all the nurseries in the area, as well as childminders. Cygnets impressed us with their friendly approach, well-resourced classrooms, and child-focused teaching.
Despite only being in attendance for two weeks
all the staff greet my son by his name and we receive wonderful updates via the app. It puts you at ease.
The settling process is well thought out and adapted to meet the needs of your family. My son already comes in without tears and enjoys his day.
The menu is also wonderful with home-cooked food and lots of fruit and vegetables. They are also very mindful of allergies explaining how they will ensure safety.
You should always see all the settings in the area, however we firmly believe Cygnets is the best.

My daughter has a wonderful time at Cygnets Nursery. The staff are all so friendly and kind and she's always so happy to see them when she's dropped off. The activities in the Hummingbird Room are so well tailored to the enjoyment of learning and developmental needs of those in the class, and it's the
highlight of mine and my husband's day getting learning updates on the app. A truly exceptional nursery.

My Granddaughter has attended Cygnent Day Nursery for the last 3 years, during that time I am amazed at how much she has learned about planets, animals, and life in general. All the staff are lovely, friendly and professional and nothing it too much trouble. I would highly recommend this preschool to
anyone as I am happy that my granddaughter is safe, and secure and absolutely loves going to school. Her brother started 1 and a half years ago and also progressing well and enjoys every day at preschool.

My daughter went here and I have to say the staff was amazing with her. She had never been without me until she went to nursery and although she would kick and scream going in she also never wanted to leave. They keep you updated throughout the day on an app! The food is all cooked in-house and such
a wide variety of food. Amazing staff and an amazing nursery, I love it that much because my youngest will be going here in January.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.949)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.949) out of 10 for Cygnets Day Nursery 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.949 for Cygnets Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (296 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 312 Ratings = 4.949
  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 Cygnets Day Nursery is based on 26 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 75 number of registered child places is 15, which has been reached with 26 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.
