Excellent standard of care and educational experiences provided. Both my sons have been here and thrived throughout. My youngest still attends and loves going in. The staff are wonderful and give a thorough handover every time. Wouldn't choose anywhere else.

My children have been attending Conkers for the last 6 years, I cannot speak highly enough of the facility and staff. They genuinely treat them like their own. The confidence they have also gained speaks volumes for the encouragement and support they give the children.

A truly wonderful nursery! We have been attending Conkers since 2020. My first child joined at 11 month and attended until starting school. My second child currently attends Conkers, again from 11 months and will leave in August 26 when he starts school. Conkers has always been amazing for us but over
the past year or so even better, from food, resources, community visits and so much more. Every staff member are simply amazing and shows my child so much care. So lovely to see my children blossom at Conkers!

The whole team at Conkers are amazing, they're incredibly friendly and welcoming. My little boy loves it there, he has learnt so much in the time he has been there. The outside space is also fantastic, with some fantastic play equipment that he always looks forward to getting to play on. We love
the blossom updates as we look through the pictures together as he tells me about his day.

I have nothing negative to say about my experience with Conkers so far. They have shown us kindness, everyone is welcoming and friendly, and the staff are great at what they do. My son was nervous when first starting but they worked with him and us to help settle him in. Now he is thriving! He loves
going and he comes home happy. He is learning lots, doing so many fun activities, and making good friendships with the staff and other children. They offer him lots of great food and snack options and are always looking to find new things he might enjoy. I couldn't recommend Conkers more!

We are so pleased with how well Conkers have looked after and supported our children. They are brilliant at keeping us updated and communicating about their progress. It's always a very organised, calm environment. The staff all know the children well and have always been friendly and welcoming. My
children are happy to go to nursery and come back having learned new skills and made new friends. There is also a lovely mixture of free play and more structured and group activity in preparation for school.
We are very fortunate to have our children at such a lovely nursery.

I wouldn't send my little boy anywhere else! He has been attending Conkers since 9 months old and I couldn't be happier. He is nearly 2 now and gets excited every day he goes to nursery. All the nursery team are kind, attentive and know all of Henry's little traits. He settled in straight away and has
developed so much, learning something new every week! Thank you to everyone at Conkers!

We have used Conkers Nursery now for the last 6 years for the early childcare of our two sons. I fell in love with this place from the moment I set foot back in summer 2020, it just felt like each child was truly treasured and allowed to play, learn and grow whilst feeling really safe and nurtured.
Huge
credit to the wonderful staff here. Every single member of the magnificent team we have encountered has been so kind and supportive, they listen and take on board any special requests or requirements and every morning without fail, my children are greeted with a friendly face. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone, it's a hidden treasure and I'm blessed to have stumbled upon it all them years ago.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been attending the nursery for about a year, starting just after her 1st birthday, and goes 4 days per week. She settled in so well, which is a testament to the staff and environment at Conkers. It really made that transition of going back to work after maternity leave much easier,
and we've never had any doubts about the standard of care our daughter receives. She is always happy to carry her bag through the door in the mornings, and as parents we really appreciate the thoughtful art and crafts that come home which are so special. The app updates are also brilliant to see what the children have been doing each day, and to highlight those special moments in her development. It's so reassuring to see her so happy and settled at nursery. The staff are amazing, caring, friendly and supportive, and communication is excellent. We can't recommend Conkers enough, and want to thank everyone there for all that they do.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
my son has been with nursery since he was a year. I felt welcome straight away, as a first time mum they put me at ease and answered all of my questions (of which there were many!)
My son has allergies which they have catered for brilliantly, there has never been an issue at all.
I have called during
the day for updates and they have always provided, they have an app where my son's day is detailed for me to review, including golden moments when he has done especially well.
Due to mine and my partners work, we have often asked if our son can stay and extra hour or two, an extra day, and they have always accommodated it whenever they can, cant praise them enough, and when I eventually have my second child, they will definitely be going!

I can't praise the nursery enough and I would recommend them to anyone. My little boy loves going in and is always excited on nursery days. The staff have been amazing and go above and beyond! They identify any additional needs and provide outstanding support. They have given my son additional support
which he engages well with and finds fun, I can already see progress which I am so grateful for. They have also given me ideas and resources to use at home to ensure I am keeping things fun and interactive at home.

Conkers Day Nursery can only be described as utterly wonderful. The staff are super friendly, personable and knowledgeable, the facilities are excellent and tailored to all children's requirements no matter their age, and communication from them, both via email, the app and in person couldn't be better!
The activities they create for the children are both enjoyable and educational and my daughter always comes home happy and content. The on-site cook makes the most delicious homemade meals and what's provided is always of a high standard. I couldn't recommend Conkers enough!

Our daughter loves Conkers and we couldn't be happier with the care that they provide. The staff are warm, patient and friendly and I believe they're genuinely invested in the wellbeing of each child. The nursery is clean and safe and we are kept updated with daily photos and diaries on the app which
helps us feel connected to our child's day. We are so grateful to have found Conkers and for the care they provide, our little one is thriving.

Never concerned about leaving my daughter. She is always happy to go to staff.
Staff are helpful and engaging. We are kept informed of her daily activities and progress via the app, and messages are reinforced on collection. I am always amazed at the amount of creative activities carried out and enjoy
hearing my daughter explain what she has done that day.

As soon as I was pregnant, I signed my daughter up for Conkers. I work locally in the area and every parent at my work has sent their babies to Conkers: from over 20 years ago, to the last few years, and everything in-between. My daughter is currently in the Spring room 4 days a week and it is her favourite
place. She's excited to go every morning, and has the best time. I receive updates, photos, regular emails, and I love having a chat with her workers at drop off and pick up; they can tell me everything about her day and know her so well. She is so well looked after here and I have complete peace of mind all day when I'm at work. She would go at the weekend if she could! When I've had to swap days or email at the weekend, I get replies and I am so grateful for this. Couldn't recommend more if I tried.

My daughters has been attending this nursery since she was nine months old, and now at two and a half, she continues to absolutely love it. From the beginning, the staff have been warm, friendly, and consistently attentive, making the environment feel safe and welcoming. It's clear that they take genuine
interest in each child, and we've always felt confident that our daughter is well cared for throughout the day.


The team provide a nurturing setting where children are encouraged to explore, learn, and build their confidence. Our daughter has developed strong bonds with both staff and peers, and it's wonderful to see how excited she is to go in every morning. Communication is excellent, with regular updates about her activities, meals, and progress, which really reassures us as parents.


We've noticed significant growth in her social skills, speech, and independence since joining the nursery. The activities are engaging and varied, supporting both educational and play-based develop

I can't speak highly enough of Conkers nursery. They helped our son settle in so well and from day one I could see the amount of care and attention they put in to create a safe, loving and fun environment for him to be in.
He gets so excited to go to nursery and talks about his key workers all the
time and the friends he's made there.
We so enjoy reading his daily diary and seeing the lovely photos they put on the app.
I love how they teach the children such a variety of subjects, celebrations & activities. Our hearts burst every time we bring home a beautiful card made by him with the help of the staff and see all the incredible activities and arts and crafts they do with him.
He eats such a wonderful variety of food there too and I'm inspired by the weekly meal plan for them.
I love how every member of staff knows all the children's names and individual needs. They really do provide that above and beyond care for each child and it's so appreciated. Thank you so much!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.986)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.986) out of 10 for Conkers Nursery School 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.986 for Conkers Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (355 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 360 Ratings = 4.986
  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 Conkers Nursery School is based on 30 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 30 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.
