St Joseph's nursery is a lovely nursery. My daughter started her journey with her lovely nursery family when she was 8months old, the staff members are amazing, respectful and most importantly very caring and supportive. My daughter is always very happy when going to nursery. I can't recommend them
enough. Excellent service and communication.Thank you to the amazing nursery team

My daughter and son are very happy when they go to nursery. I am very satisfied, the staff is very good, everyone is friendly. My children have learned a lot of new things, they have adapted very quickly and are much more independent.

Both of my daughters have attended this nursery, and I truly couldn't be happier with the care and support they've received. My eldest, now 7, still talks fondly about her time there, and my youngest will be graduating this month. Over the years, the staff have been consistently kind, nurturing, and
attentive, helping them grow in confidence, curiosity, and independence.
It's clear how much thought and care goes into every part of the day, from learning activities to playtime. The team really gets to know each child as an individual, and that personal attention has made all the difference. Both of my girls have come away from the nursery with so many happy memories, and it's been wonderful to see how much they've grown. My youngest is still building her confidence for the next stage, but she's come such a long way and continues to thrive thanks to the support she's had here.
I'm so grateful to everyone at the nursery for the role they've played in our family's early years.

Our son is so happy at the nursery and is always keen and excited when he goes. He is not only excited to play and see his friends, but he is also excited to see the different staff members too. The staff are always happy and helpful and really seem bond and care for the children in their care.

My son has been going to St Joseph's Nursery for nearly a year now and it's been wonderful, he loves going in and the staff are amazing with him.

We love St Joseph's Nursery and Pre School and after our little ones last Christmas concert last week we will be sad to say goodbye next summer. It has been fantastic getting to know the staff, some of whom were my very own tutees when they started secondary school, which has been amazing, knowing our
little girl is loved and cared for by such great people.

My daughter has attended this nursery for the past two years. The care, love and guidance she has been given has been outstanding. The staff got to know her really well and did lots of things to support her emotionally as well as academically. She is more than ready to start school in September.

My youngest has attended this nursery since he was 17 months old. They provide a warm, loving environment and genuinely have the best interests of your child in mind. They also prepare them for school and encourage independence as much as possible.

Very friendly and helpful nursery staff. My child learned every day new things and started to communicate more than before. Bread sticks, vegetables and fruits are allowed as snacks, which is really good, encouraging children to eat healthy. Children engagement is very good in various activities. We
are very pleased with overall impression. Lastly, the charity nursery gets involved in is very good as well.

Our two boys attend nursery, with our oldest due to graduate in the summer. The staff are experienced, friendly and supportive, which helps create a fantastic environment. The surgery is managed effectively and again there is a great level of support. Children are encouraged to be curious and to develop
a variety of skills. A big thank you to all staff - you're doing a great job!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending St Joseph's Nursery for over a year, starting in the baby room and recently moving up to join the older children. It is a lovely setting and he is thriving there. One of the reasons I chose St Joseph's Nursery is that it is small compared to other nurseries in the area. Whilst
the children have their own key workers, they get to know all the staff and other children which creates a wonderful welcoming atmosphere and my son feels very much at home there. The staff are really experienced, some having been there for decades! They are extremely caring and it is such a joy that my child goes in happily in the morning.
We provide our own food which means that I know that my son is getting something he will actually eat. In other settings I have used in the past they provided meals however I found this expensive and it wasn't necessarily what my child liked or what I wanted them to eat.
I highly recommend the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.910)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.910) out of 10 for St Joseph's Nursery and Pre School 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.910 for St Joseph's Nursery and Pre School is calculated as follows: ( (223 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 245 Ratings = 4.91
  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 St Joseph's Nursery and Pre School is based on 21 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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2, which has been reached with 21 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.
