Review from A Z (Mother of Child) published on 19 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are deeply appreciative of the JCN team for fostering a nurturing environment for our child. The smaller group sizes allow staff to plan a variety of tailored activities throughout the week. Our child thoroughly enjoys attending forest school, tiny toes ballet, yoga classes, and occasional outings
to the nearby park. JCN boasts a friendly atmosphere with attentive staff who encourage independence and spark curiosity. Additionally, there are several opportunities throughout the year for parents to meet and mingle with other families.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child currently attends the nursery in the under 2's room. He is very happy there and is excited to go in every day. The staff are warm and friendly and really care about the children. My son has such varied days and is able to participate in activities that he would not be able to do at home. He
eats a wide variety of food which is freshly prepared on site. It is a great environment and one which I would highly recommend.
Reply from Sam Beldam, Administrator at Joint Colleges Nursery
Thank you for your very kind words and we are so happy that your child enjoys attending.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attended Joint Colleges Nursery from 12 months old until he started school and I’m delighted that my daughter has been able to follow in his footsteps and has so far had a very happy twelve months there. Joint Colleges Nursery is a small, friendly nursery with fantastic outside space. The forest
school provision is incredible. The staff are kind, caring and committed to their own development. Staff turnover is very low. There are wonderful opportunities for parents to get involved if they wish. They have their own chef who is fantastic. Lunch always smells delicious.

We can only say good things about Joint Colleges Nursery. Our daughter has attended the nursery for the past 3 years, and she is extremely happy. Joint Colleges Nursery is her second home. The staff really cares about children and the nursery is lovely. We have just had a second baby, and even though
the nursery is far from our home, we had no doubts about which nursery to choose. We are very happy that he will also be part of the Joint Colleges Nursery family.

Such a nurturing environment for our young children - Joint Colleges Nursery is an incredible nursery with extremely talented and kind staff. For our two daughters, they love going to Joint Colleges Nursery
and are so thrilled to see the staff and their friends every morning at drop off. At pick up,
we always hear about the exciting, varied and age-appropriate activities they have done and they usually bring home lots of arts and crafts too. This is a truly special place, where we know the individual needs and personalities of our children are well attended to. The staff really care so deeply about every child thriving. Cannot recommend Joint Colleges Nursery highly enough!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child started in Joint Colleges Nursery when she was 11.5 months old. The settling-in weeks were handled very professionally. They spent quality time with my child and gave regular feedbacks, so I was able to follow up how her days were going. Since then, my daughter is very happy to be there every
day. It is a very welcoming environment. Teachers are very approachable and very lovely people. The garden of the nursery has a great setting for kids of all ages. We are extremely happy with Joint Colleges Nursery.

Our experience with Joint Colleges Nursery has been excellent so far; the team is really professional and caring. Children are happy, and they have access to a very nice garden. They also do forest school, work on an allotment and being so close to Lammas, they often visit the park there.
The nursery
is a charity run by a committee of parents and staff members, which makes the nursery a very familiar and friendly environment. I would definitely recommend the nursery to other parents!

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.513)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.513) out of 10 for Joint Colleges Nursery 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 3 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 Joint Colleges Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (36 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 36 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 3.513 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Joint Colleges Nursery is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.4 = 0.263
  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.
