We are so happy that our son attends Christopher Robin Day Nursery. In the almost two years that he’s been there, he’s grown and developed independence, as well as making good friends. The nursery staff are fantastic and we love the daily updates. Couldn’t be happier!

We absolutely love Christopher Robin Day Nursery. Both our children have attended and we've been so happy with the love and care they have received whilst here.
My eldest has just started school and his social skills and emotional maturity is praised highly. The team at Christopher Robin were crucial
to this. They work so hard and do a fabulous job.

We moved our daughter here aged 2 as we didn't love our last nursery and remembered the manager's enthusiasm at Christopher Robin Day Nursery. We are so glad we made the swap and our daughter has just left and has had a great time. The care and support from staff have been amazing, they have experienced
a range of activities and she has learnt a lot. Thank you Christoper Robin Day Nursery for offering such a fab service at crucial early years for our daughter. We would 100% recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Today my daughter started school. She went there as an independent, confident and happy young lady. But, as much as she inherited from me, I cannot deny the role of Christopher Robin Day Nursery's staff in her advancement and development. As a first-time mum who works full time, I needed a reliable,
caring and high-quality nursery and support. The staff and their approaches in educating and taking care of kids and their support were superb during these last three years, as I closely experienced. I highly recommended it.

I am so pleased that we chose Christopher Robin Day Nursery - London Road for our son to attend. From the first meeting until now, he has enjoyed every single second of being there. The two ladies that look after him are absolutely amazing. Since attending nursery he has gained so much in learning to
walk, talk and become the child he is today and I shall forever be grateful to the team involved.

Review from Rhianna T (Mother of Child) published on 2 March 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter started at Christopher Robin Day Nursery in October and absolutely loves it there. We were slightly apprehensive sending her to nursery at 2.5 and worried she would really miss us but the staff at the nursery took care of her so well and within a couple of days, she was so settled and loving
her time there. It was so comforting to see how well she took to all of the staff and how nurturing they are. Our daughter has become so confident and every challenge she has had she has been able to overcome, including potty training and dealing with the birth of a new baby brother. I am overwhelmed with how helpful the nursery has been with these things and how flexible they are to each child's individual routine. Finally, our daughter is always coming home with lovely things she has made which has way surpassed our expectations! We are so happy we chose Christopher Robin.

Review from Alex K (Mother of Child) published on 6 January 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All our children have attended Christopher Robin. We've also used other nurseries, both previous to starting here, and pre-Covid, concurrently, so have plenty to compare with. All our children have been immensely happy here and have thrived: becoming independent, curious and determined individuals.
We've been incredibly impressed with how well the nursery has coped with the various additional needs our children have had - from "basic" allergies/medication requirements to the complex needs of our youngest. Despite her particular circumstances, the nursery has welcomed her with open arms and dealt with the medical changes well. They implemented a virtual queuing app on reopening (well ahead of the supermarkets) ensuring social distancing, whilst minimising inconvenience to parents. It made a welcome change from other experiences. No nursery journey is free of hiccups. What has impressed me is how well the manager has handled problems when they've arisen, which is a real marker of a quality setting.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been extremely happy with Christopher Robin. Both our children attend the nursery and they look forward to the days they attend each week. We have been continuously impressed by the personal care and attention the children are given, as well as the genuine interest all the staff have shown in
them. They have formed special bonds with their teachers here and the activities are tailored to the children's interests as well as appropriate for their developmental goals. The caring, friendly, professional atmosphere has really helped to ease any anxieties about the kids returning to nursery after the initial 'lockdown' - we have felt confident in the care the children have received every step of the way. We would absolutely recommend this nursery to friends and family and we know our eldest will miss it greatly when she goes to school next year.

We are over the moon with the fantastic care our 8-month-old baby has been getting at Christopher Robin. He is so happy there and is thriving. He accesses such a wide range of early learning opportunities and fun activities. Alongside being beautifully nurtured and lovingly cared for by the wonderful
staff. This is especially true during such challenging times with Covid19, the practices in the nursery are really effective in transmission control, while still meeting the emotional and developmental needs of such young children. A brilliant job. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Christopher Robin is a great nursery. The staff at the nursery provide a safe and fun environment for children whilst educating them appropriately for the start of school. The girls have made my son’s transition to school so easy and he can’t wait to start in September even though he misses all the
staff and his friends at nursery. I’ll be in touch soon to put my new arrival down on the list to start next year.

I couldn't recommend Christopher Robin (London Road) more, especially during this time;- when they've been even more thoughtful, supportive and engaged. I have two children at the nursery and both have always received the most brilliant care, they look forward to attending each day and have formed special
bonds with their "teachers". All the staff who've cared for my two have put special effort into finding the activities and feedback that make my children's days fun-filled and rewarding and for that, I cannot thank them enough!

I cannot recommend this nursery and it’s amazing staff enough - my daughter loves it there and everyone is very helpful and caring. The staff were especially helpful as my daughter suffers from eczema, it was very worrying for us because sometimes it would be very bad, but they helped with the cream
every day and were very supportive. This nursery is wonderful, I am so thankful and grateful to them.

Both my children attending Christopher Robin - London Road over a five year period and thoroughly enjoyed their time with the team. The experience has given both of them a solid foundation to their learning, citizenship and most importantly their sense of self. I would highly recommend it to any family
and we are sad our time there has come to an end. It’s a kind, caring and nurturing place.

Our son joined the nursery 6 months ago and we cannot fault the set-up there. His development in independence and confidence is evidence of the Montessori style and his relationship with staff is very positive, helping him settle in and make friends quickly. Christopher Robin staff you're amazing.

Our son really enjoys his time at Christopher Robin. He is excited when he arrives in the morning and he's full of smiles when he's collected in the evening. He wants to share his experiences with us and show us the toys and introduce us to the other children he has spent the day with. He has so much
fun, learning so much. He also loves spending time with his carers and they are amazing with him. They are great with us too - responsive and meticulous - and although it is great to get a report card every day that shows us what activities he's been up to, it isn't necessary in order for us to know that he's had an active day as he always comes home so content.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.850)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.850) out of 10 for Christopher Robin Day Nursery - London Road (Guildford) 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.850 for Christopher Robin Day Nursery - London Road (Guildford) is calculated as follows: ( (264 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.85
  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 - London Road (Guildford) is based on 25 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 25 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.
