Review from Flori C (Mother of Child) published on 27 April 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We chose this nursery mainly based on the Ofsted report and the Montessori qualifications the staff had. When our son started back in September, he was very shy, playing by himself most of the time and not interacting much with other children.
After a couple of weeks, he found comfort in his key person
and would become very upset if she was not in the room (on lunch break or even off sick).
I must say that a few months on and now he is so independent and confident, he is unrecognisable. He is perfectly happy to make friends everywhere we go. The staff have been brilliant, even when my son was potty training, and that was not an easy task, they communicated well, they supported and helped him throughout the transition. Also, the garden is incredibly big, with lots of different activities, my son loves playing outside!
We are very happy with our choice of nursery and would happily recommend it to others.

I am incredibly impressed with the high standard of care given to my son at Christopher Robin Day Nursery - Burpham. He is normally quite shy but since he started nursery at the beginning of January I have noticed a massive improvement in his social skills, physicality and overall confidence. The staff
are wonderful and really take care of all my son's needs. They give me daily reports regarding what he has been doing that day and the progress that he has made. He has settled in a lot quicker than I could ever have hoped for. It has definitely been the best decision we have made for my son. Thank you! I would highly recommend this nursery to friends and family.

Christopher Robin provides a nurturing, supportive learning environment for our son.
We feel at once relaxed and reassured that he is comfortable, happy and stimulated, allowing us to make the best work/life/family balance possible and enjoyed the same experience when our elder son attended.
His nursery
experience provided him with a great foundation for the transition to school, on which he is now flourishing.

My daughter skips, or more often runs, into nursery. This is a reflection of the affection that she has for the whole team at Christopher Robin Day Nursery Burpham and the dedication and commitment that they have for her and her classmates. The team have helped her grow in confidence, have a fantastic
understanding of the world and be wonderfully independent.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is my third child going through Christopher Robin Day Nursery. The current staff in the piglets are quite new so I'm still getting to know them. Good signs to me are that my child is generally happy in the room. The girls seem to pick up on things when he is not 100%. His vocabulary and general
development continues to improve as he grows appropriate to his age. I feel really confident and happy to leave him here.

Our child seems very happy at the nursery and seems to enjoy the start of each of the 2 days a week he spends at the nursery. Every day he tells us about all of the activities he's done during the day and all of the friends he's played with.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending the nursery since the summer. Although it has taken her a while to settle, the staff couldn't have been more patient and supportive to both of us. I drop her off now without tears in the morning knowing she'll be safe and have fun while I'm away.


The staff always have

time to talk to address any queries or concerns. Everyone is always so friendly and welcoming when coming and going.


The variety of food is great for the children, with lots of new and varied foods to try each day. The outside space and variety of toys is also excellent.


Can't praise them enough and very pleased with our choice of nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been very impressed with the level of care of our daughter and other children. They have created a play and learning environment that would be difficult to replicate at home. Simple things like learning to pour liquid or recognising letters. We feel that the care and attention given to the children
is an excellent grounding and preparation for school. Not only that, but so much of our daughter's early life has been recorded by the nursery, which in a busy life can be hard to do. I simply can not fault them.

I am so glad that we made a decision to move our child to Christoper Robin Day Nursery in Burpham. Since joining this nursery, our son has become more confident and balanced, he has improved his communication skills and vocabulary and learned so much in a short period of time.
The nursery has a fantastic
outdoor space and an overall great feel. The staff are really welcome and make you feel at ease.
Our son has settled in extremely well and is very excited to go to nursery. Thank you to all the team!

Extremely helpful and proactive approach to organising changes to my daughter's attendance pattern in order to accommodate school starting in September. Equally, with a second child due to start in the baby room, it was very useful to be able to communicate early on and receive a swift response. A wonderful
caring nursery where my daughter has always been incredibly happy over 4 years. Thank you.

Review from Tobias J (Father of Child) published on 31 May 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our three year old and two year old go here once per week, and to Christopher Robin in London Road four times per week. When my wife went back to work full time, our regular nursery didn't have our fifth day available, but we didn't hesitate in putting our children into nearby Burpham. Everything we
like about Christopher Robin is transferable between the two.


The staff are all excellent and all form bonds with the children. You can tell they love kids and are very patient, not just doing care as a job. They allow the children to play with what they like to do. They encourage safe interaction with other children and good manners. The manager is hands on and always knows what both kids have done that day if we need to call for any reason.


The outside space is MASSIVE and very safe and interactive, the best I've seen at any nursery. Overall, we're delighted at the care the children receive here and know that they are enhancing how we aim to raise them; happy, confident and empathetic.

Review from Jane R (Mother of Child) published on 12 April 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I thought I didn't like nurseries and I have definitely been converted! Our daughter's care was shared between close family until she was 2 and 3/4. The situation changed and after an unsuccessful 2.5 weeks we decided to try a nursery and I visited four. Christopher Robin was neither the most convenient
nor the cheapest but I got a good feeling about the place from my first phone call with the manager. After visiting I was left with the feeling that this was a place I could leave my daughter. Two close friends also highly recommended it to me, one who used it from 2008 - 2016 and another who currently has a child attending.


My daughter started in early March and has settled really well. I've been most impressed with the genuine warmth and affection the staff have for her already, especially her key worker in Kangas. My fussy eater is already eating new foods. She loves playing in the garden. I've also been impressed with the interaction from staff in other rooms.

My daughter loves going to nursery and is very settled. She has multiple food allergies which are easily catered for. The nursery teachers are friendly and get to know the children individually. We're very happy with the care she receives here.

My son has attended this nursery for more than two years and throughout the level of care, kindness and fun has been outstanding. I chose the nursery largely on reputation and for its wonderful garden but have learned that it's greatest asset is it's long serving staff who work diligently and enthusiastically
every day to ensure the children are well looked after, engaged and educated. Going back to work full time feeling positive about childcare was a huge relief to me.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
As our daughter has only been at the nursery for 3 months, it is hard to provide an in-depth opinion, but our impression so far is of a very well run school where our daughter is well cared for and has fun.
Our only negative point would be that, although the outside space is excellent, the layout
inside is a bit cramped in places, with nowhere to leave buggies inside when collecting and dropping off and circulation space is quite limited.

Christopher Robin is a lovely nursery. My eldest has attended for the past 3 years since he was 6 months old and has always been very happy. My youngest started at a similar age and settled in very easily. Both have formed excellent bonds with the staff. I find the girls to be caring, kind and always
seem to have the boys best interests at heart. My favourite days are nursery days as the boys are so settled and worn out in the evenings after a fun day playing!

My two children have been at Christopher Robin Day Nursery - Burpham and my little boy is still attending. We love it. From the support given to the nervous mummy dropping off her little precious bundle at 10-months-old to kind, caring teaching in 'Tiggers' and everything in between - it has been great.
The manager is superb - friendly, flexible, welcoming and happy - she is a great manager. It is more like and extended family rather than a day care service. Thanks.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.916)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.916) out of 10 for Christopher Robin Day Nursery - Burpham 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 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.916 for Christopher Robin Day Nursery - Burpham is calculated as follows: ( (442 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 478 Ratings = 4.916
  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 Christopher Robin Day Nursery - Burpham is based on 40 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 44 number of registered child places is 8.8, which has been reached with 40 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.
