Review from Marianne C (Mother of Child) published on 5 November 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We could not have picked a better nursery!
Enchanted offers a safe environment where our little boy is thriving. The staff are exceptional and they know our little boy as well as we do! He is full of energy and they’ve managed to channel this in an extremely positive way - always challenging him and
teaching him new things.
During the summer months, they take the children out regularly to explore - playing on the fields/ feeding the ducks.
Nursery fees are expensive locally but I honestly feel I am investing in his future at Enchanted. He is always entertained - they’ve just had stick insects join their class! The extra activities on offer are an added bonus.
I honestly cannot speak highly enough of the nursery, the setting, the staff, the care, the way the children’s friendships are quietly nurtured plus the time and effort put into planning activities and events. When your 2-year old says he loves nursery, you know you’ve found an outstanding one. If you are looking for a local nursery in Alton this is the one!

My son has been in every class over the years up to school age, he has loved going and happy to be there. He sometimes told me off for picking him too early. I would highly recommend Enchanted to everyone. Very nice friendly staff and happy to help you with any concerns.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Enchanted Nursery has enabled my daughter to grow and develop friendships in a safe and happy environment. The learning development has encouraged my daughter to enjoy her environment, use her imagination and to be innovative.
The staff are friendly, helpful, considerate and place the children at the
centre of everything they do. The learning development of the children is constant and embodies great fun with knowledge.
The care and activities are extensive and wide-ranged catering for all needs and styles.
Overall an excellent nursery cementing a brilliant foundation for children.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter attends Enchanted Nursery three days a week and absolutely loves her time there. Her days are always action packed and well structured. She enjoys her French session once a week and her music session as well. The staff are always very welcoming and the nursery has a lovely home feel to it.
I would highly recommend Enchanted to any parent. All the staff are hard working and want the best for the children. I like the outside space on offer and that they always take the children outside come rain or shine.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.768)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.768) out of 10 for Enchanted 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 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 4.865 for Enchanted Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (135 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.865
  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 4.903 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Enchanted Nursery Ltd is based on 13 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.903
  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.
