The staff at Maples Day Nursery (Winchester) are very helpful and friendly. Our son has a lot of fun every day and is always cheerful when we pick him up at the end of the day. He particularly enjoys playing in the spacious garden and always comes home covered in dirt.

My daughter has a wonderful time in the baby room. She always comes home happy and is excited to go back to nursery the next day. She is well cared for and she enjoys the interaction with other children. I like that she can go outside to play.

I knew nothing about daycare for children until I had my 2 boys. I was unsure about 'someone raising my kids', but soon I realised that it's not how it is. It's fantastic for the boys. They learn so much. I am very grateful for Maples and its staff, and the boys love it.

We recently moved to Winchester form Ireland. We were sorry to leave our prior nursery. However, Maples has far exceeded our expectations. The staff have been so welcoming and loving to our children. We are so thankful to all members of the staff and grateful for their professionalism and genuine care
for the kids.

My little girl has been at Maples since 7 months old 9now 18 months) and has built great rapport with the staff. She always seems to have great fun and love the things she makes and brings home. The parent zone is also great as we can see what she is doing and progressing.

My daughter joined Maples Day Nursery when she was about 10-months-old and she took a while to settle but the nursery workers were very supportive. Initially, her keyworker changed quite a few times but that wasn't the fault of the nursery. My daughter is really settled and happy now and the team are
really helping her come out of her shell.

The nursery has lots of activities both indoors and out. They are very good through the ages and have allowed her to grow in independence. They are good with caring and it's good that the food is prepared on site as not all nurseries do that.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter recently moved to Bumblebees and has settled very well with all the new children and staff. My only observation is that I miss getting the handover sheet at the end of the day. It was very handy to see what she'd eaten, how she slept etc. The staff do discuss this on collection on the whole,
but not always.

The staff at Maples are extremely caring and positive with my son. He has super hands-on experience that promotes his learning. He is showing great confidence and progress.
I have been particularly impressed by the opportunity to take part in Rugby Tots, which has helped my son start to understand
teamwork.

We find the staff to be very supportive of our son's needs and take good care of him during his recent transition to big brother status and the ensuing change in schedule.
I would say that the '30 free hours' and the way they are distributed are extremely inconvenient.

I feel the nursery has improved drastically since the split of the BumbleBee room. All the staff are very helpful and approachable. Since arrival, the ability of my child has improved every day and I feel he is reaching learning goals quickly. The online parent zone application is very good and well
utilized.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.823)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.823) out of 10 for Maples Day Nursery (Winchester) 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.823 for Maples Day Nursery (Winchester) is calculated as follows: ( (285 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 334 Ratings = 4.823
  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 Maples Day Nursery (Winchester) is based on 27 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 132 number of registered child places is 26.4, which has been reached with 27 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.
