Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We had an excellent time at this nursery. My daughter started this nursery at the age of nine months. As a doctor and working long hours during the Pandemic, nursery staff and management were a second home for my daughter.
She had a lovely time in all rooms, very well looked after by everyone.
The
nursery and toddlers' staffs are amazingly pleasant and helpful with everything.
Staff helped us with Potty training, linguistics, and building up social skills.


Highly recommend it to everyone.

I've had two children in Roslin, and my youngest is now in her last year. She went through the three different rooms, and in each of the rooms, they have wonderful, welcoming and friendly - staff who make sure that all children are happy and settled. When my daughter went through a tricky phase, it
was communicated well with me, and the staff did everything they could to make her (and us) feel at ease. You can feel that they genuinely care for the children, not only the staff in the rooms but also the manager, who is very forthcoming and has a good relationship with the parents.
The staff plan a lot of activities, giving them space to be creative. Arts and crafts are often linked to a seasonal topic, which is lovely. They read a lot of books, which my children love talking about. They make sure that the children play outside and also try their best to get them to eat their fruit and veg, which I am very grateful for.
I can highly recommend this nursery, and we are going to be very sad when my youngest leaves.

I would highly recommend Roslin Nursery for anyone considering a childcare provider. I’ve had 2 children attend Roslin Nursery and with my youngest I just knew that I wanted them to go to Roslin Nursery. Both of my children have been happy at Roslin Nursery and I know that they are safe and cared for
when they are there. The Ladies genuinely care about the children and it has a family feel to it. You are always greeted with a smile in the morning and at pick up. As a parent the communication is great and you know what your children have been doing during the day. There is a wide range of activities planned for the children to support their growth and development. Both of my children have thrived at Roslin Nursery.

Our daughter has just finished her time in the baby room Buttercups and is moving up to the next room a happy, confident and clever girl! Her speech has developed amazingly, as has her confidence and we have no doubt that is due to the fantastic care she's received at Roslin Nursery. All the ladies
in that room have been amazing at developing and caring for her and she has a wonderful bond with them all. Thank you so so much for taking such wonderful care of our daughter and for helping her development so much - we will miss you all so much!

Would highly recommend Roslin Nursery. The staff are so caring and it's such a positive and happy environment. We've had our 3 children going there for several years now. They've really thrived and loved going to the nursery every day. It's got a lovely feeling to it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son attended Roslin for almost 3-years, and it has been a great experience for both him and us as parents. We have chosen Roslin because it had a family feeling to it, nice staff and good outdoor space and we were not disappointed.
Our son looked forward to going there every day and had a great
time, made friends and loved his teachers. He has always been happy and engaged at the nursery.
He started as a baby and went through all the different classes. Support was provided at each stage and all transitions were very smooth. The staff has always been very caring, warm and loving and we have been very impressed with how much support and initiative the staff has shown during the potty training period.
We have also felt that the nursery has always shared all the information about our son, negative and positive, which helped us build a relationship of trust with them.
I have no hesitation in recommending Roslin Nursery to other parents.

Thank you for your review. We have really enjoyed watching your lovely boy flourish and develop such a caring character.

Our children really enjoyed their time at Roslin Nursery. We chose it because it had a homely, safe feeling and friendly staff. They both settled in really well from the very beginning as babies and each transition to the next stage room was the same. This was down to the caring staff, the fun activities
and the nursery's ability to develop independence and confidence. The food was tasty and the children were encouraged to try new things. World festivals and frequent theme changes meant the nursery was always trying something new. We were sad when we said goodbye to everyone.

My son attended Roslin Nursery from 14 months old until he was four and a half. He went through all three rooms at Roslin and we have been impressed with the level of care he has received. Roslin very much has a family feel to it and the staff genuinely care about the children and each other. My son
has now started school and I believe Roslin have prepared him well for this. He has a firm foundation of phonics, numbers, letters and more importantly skills to make friends and have good communication. I thoroughly recommend Roslin.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attended Roslin for three years on a part time basis from 9 months old to 3 and a half years old. Leaving a baby in another person's care is a very hard choice for any new parent, and the team at Roslin understood that very much. They were very attentive to him when he first settled in. He quickly
formed bonds with different members of staff and his confidence grew.


Even as a baby, the environment at Roslin is very creative and engaging and they always have the children involved in many different activities. At every stage of my son's time at Roslin he was lovingly cared for, transitioned through the various classes and guided through all sorts of development. His character has grown so much in the time he has been there and he really loved going to nursery. I have to say that I was very impressed with the food that was cooked by the resident chef for all the children, at all stages. I always felt good knowing that my son had healthy meals to eat whilst he wasn't at home with me.

Choosing a nursery for my son was difficult, leaving him with strangers was a daunting thought. We viewed 4 nurseries in the local area ranging from £50.00 - £90.00 per day. When we came to visit it just had a lovely feel to it and the staff were so welcoming. Our son who was 18 months old played there
straight away. We didn't hesitate and signed him there for 2 days a week. He started in Oct 2016 and at first, he was dubious but now he waves us off in the mornings and he loves going. There is a physical playroom which is great and he paints, colours, plays, sings and talks and is getting more social all the time. Highly recommended.

My son started attending Roslin Nursery in late August. The staff were amazing, helping him to settle in and although the beginning was hard for him, he soon started looking forward to going to nursery. The staff are very professional but warm and loving at the same time. They have a great relationship
with the children and truly care about them. The children are supported with their learning and social skills. The nursery has good facilities and provides great child care.

My son has attended since 10 months and is now 3, and has loved it here. The staff genuinely care for the children, and my son has always given the staff big cuddles in the morning, so loves them too. Great facilities including 'extra' pay for options, and for me, it's the right size and the opposite
of a chain-style nursery, feeling very welcoming and homely. Some areas of admin could improve, eg. bills can be confusing with all the childcare voucher/15 hour free payments.

Our daughter has been at Roslin for a year, since she was 11 months old. She absolutely loves it and it's a fantastic nursery, with genuinely caring staff, who really tailor things to their individual characters and needs. I feel like my daughter is not just looked after, but loved.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.815)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.815) out of 10 for Roslin Nursery 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.815 for Roslin Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.815
  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 Roslin Nursery is based on 14 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 57 number of registered child places is 11.4, which has been reached with 14 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.
