Review from Swati K (Mother of Child) published on 10 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Best Nursery in all ways for the parents (stress free, top class ) All stars! My Son attended the nursery and currently daughter is attending and as soon as I leave my kids at nursery I am stress free due to the best staff they have at nursery. They are very professional as well as friendly at the same
time. My daughter required a special assistance and her advisory teacher mentioned she have never seen a nursery investing so much in child's development.

Thank you, it is always difficult for parents to find a place that they have full faith, assurance and trust in the staff. Placing both your children in our nursery has been an absolute pleasure and I…read more

I couldn't recommend the Nursery enough. My granddaughter has come on in leaps and bounds and is always happy to go to nursery. My granddaughter went to the nursery at a young age due to circumstances and a year later is still enjoying every day. The nursery cover a large area of learning and understanding
and playing and sharing as the children are maturing into their own personalities.

Very happy with the experience so far, the nursery seems to be run very well and the girls working there are very professional and friendly. Our daughter settled in instantly which we were pleasantly surprised about but that is obviously a credit to the great staff. Our daughter has become a lot more
confident since being at the nursery and has improved massively with her words and numbers.

Our daughter has been attending for one year and in this time she has come on so much in her speech, confidence and personality. She comes home each day singing songs that she has learnt and is very chatty about all the fun things they have done. I love that we have a daily report of activities / also
food/sleeps/nappies. Emails are always responded to in a prompt time. An A*Nursery

We love the nursery - the extra miles they go with activities and interactions with the children really make it feel personal and full of care. We recommend it to all and really trust them with our boys. You can see how much they love kids and it is managed so well.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The manager and team at the Nursery are incredible. When we moved near the area in late 2021 we asked around a lot about what nurseries were best we visited two that stood out and the staff here won us over. They are warm, kind, friendly and welcoming. Our two children learn so much and have thrived.
Our eldest went to school in September and she has stood out as advanced and I thank the team at the nursery for that so much. Our youngest can get very easily frustrated and they handle it so well.
They are like aunties more than staff. I can’t recommend them enough.

My middle daughter went to this nursery and I can only say it's amazing. Now my third daughter has started and she loves it. The staff are brilliant, the children are very well looked after. The food is a great hit as my daughter's were fussy, but coming to this nursery they have managed to try different
foods. Excellent nursery.

Thank you, Neena for your review of us! It's been lovely to have you back with your youngest daughter and it's great to hear about how the girls love different meals!

The Nursery are amazing! They have allowed my daughter to develop in such a way that she became so independent and has learnt so many skills to prepare her for the future. She has really bonded with her key workers and loves going in to nursery every week. Thank you for being so amazing with her.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Two of my children have been attending this nursery for one year now. They have both been well supported throughout this time. My children are happy, confident and are doing really well. What I have seen my children being able to do and achieve is far higher than the standard I have seen at other nurseries.
I
couldn’t be happier with how they are doing and they have a great support system.
The teachers are always friendly and helpful and my children are always happy to see them.
The children receive cooked meals that are well-balanced to meet their nutritional needs.

Fantastic nursery, can't say enough about them. My daughter started here at 6 months and she loves it. The teachers are fantastic and the Head leads by example. All the staff are happy and welcome you with a smile. My daughter's progress has been fantastic, when we visited family in February they were
all surprised with how well behaved she was. She took turns, was polite, asked questions and said thank you. If you could do 6 star reviews it still would not be enough. If I had another child I wouldn't hesitate to send them to the Nursery. I've already recommended them to people at work and will continue to recommend them.

My two children both attended the nursery and we cannot be happier with our choice after so many years. The staff genuinely love the children and they are well looked after. The nursery Manager is excellent and always available to help if needed, and you can see that they are a strong team, some members
have been there for many years which is always a good sign. We have always felt safe leaving the children with the Manager and her team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at the nursery since she was 18 months old, she is now almost 4 and I can only say good things about her time there.
The staff are fantastic, they love the children like their own and really look out for them.
My daughter has learnt so much from her time here, I honestly couldn’t
be happier with the educational skills.
My daughter is fed very well here and always eats everything and enjoys trying different foods at the nursery.
I love the app because I am always updated with her daily activities etc and the manager always updates us, parents, with everything by email.
I am a single mum and can’t thank the ladies at the nursery for their support in helping me bring up my daughter, especially through the hard times of the pandemic.
I and my daughter have been through some hard times but the nursery staff have always been there for us to support us
I will be very sad when she leaves this August.
Thank you to all at the nursery.

My child has been very welcomed into the nursery and come along a long way since joining. The nursery is very accommodating with lovely staff who genuinely care for the children.
Every week holds different activities and focuses on different subjects.
I strongly believe my child wouldn’t be ready
to move onto school without the support and guidance from the nursery.

Review from Dannielle P (Mother of Child) published on 10 March 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son started the nursery after relocating and he transitioned better than we expected. It was a nerve-wracking experience, as parents, as our son was so happy at his previous nursery. However, the staff really took time into getting to know our son and he always runs into nursery with a smile on
his face - he frequently tells us how happy he is at nursery.


The teachers have always provided us with support, as well as our son - through speech therapy referrals and activities to do at home to improve his development. Their communication with us parents is faultless, along with their app sharing photo updates and details of our child's days. We highly recommend the nursery, the activities they provide are vast and I love that each month features an educational theme.
Our son will start school in September, and he will not be the only one to miss the nursery!

Dannielle that's so lovely to read! He certainly does come running in with the biggest smile on his face and is always so excited to let us know what he has been doing on the weekends and evenings!…read more

Incredible staff, always friendly and well knowledgeable on all child matters. They keep you well informed on charges that might affect you or your child. It’s well managed and kept in a clean condition, my child is always excited to go to nursery and he never seems worried about leaving us to go. Couldn’t
be happier to leave my child with them.

We have had an overall brilliant experience with the nursery. The staff are friendly approachable and always happy to help. Since sending our child to the nursery we have seen a big improvement in his development and that credit goes to the staff and manager at the nursery. We are very happy with them

I find the staff and management ever so helpful my grandson has come on leaps and bounds since going to the Nursery. He’s been there for over a year now and has gained confidence and manners. It's brilliant, I cannot fault the nursery in any way. Especially the times we’ve gone through with the Covid

I could not fault the nursery at all. Both of my children have attended and have always been so happy there. It is such a huge decision to leave your child in the care of somebody else, but I know they receive the best care at the nursery. The staff are so lovely and caring, and they always have such
fun. I’m so pleased I chose this nursery and will be sad when my youngest leaves this year to start school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been at the Nursery since he was 12 months old, so over two years now and he really loves it. The care and attention the staff have to each child and the enthusiasm and fun they bring to learning make the nursery a really safe place with lots of love and nurture to achieve their full potential.


The

events that the staff put on for the children, whether it be cooking, sports day, trips to the library etc are always well organised and parents encouraged to take part. It's really like an extension of our family. I can't rate this nursery highly enough.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.139)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.139) out of 10 for A-KiDz Childcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for A-KiDz Childcare is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  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 3.139 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for A-KiDz Childcare is based on 1 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 = 3
    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. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.2 = 0.139
  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.
