Review from Sophie G (Mother of Child) published on 30 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little girl attended this nursery from the baby room right through until she started school, and my little boy is currently in the baby room. Overall, we have had a very positive experience. The staff are genuinely lovely, caring, and attentive, and I've always felt my children were safe and well
looked after.
The manager deserves a special mention - she is amazing. She's always approachable, accessible, and happy to speak with parents, which makes such a difference and gives real reassurance.
The only downside we've experienced has been with the financial side which was no fault of the nursery team on site level. I must say the staff at the nursery dealt really well with all of the questions us parents had and I'm sure they had to deal with some unhappy parents too during this period.
Aside from this, the care and support the children receive day to day has been excellent, and we've been very happy overall.
Reply from Jenny, Improvement and Support Officer at The Beacon Day Nursery & Pre-SchoolThank you for taking the time to complete a review. It was lovely seeing your daughter grow through the nursery and seeing her leave as a happy and confident child. We are delighted to have your son here and seeing his big smiles is an absolute joy. We have a lovely partnership with parents and feel communication is important throughout the child's time at The Beacon Day Nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has attended The Beacon Day Nursery from 3 months old and is absolutely thriving! He loves his time there and always leaves happy and content. We can't fault his key person Aliyah, we always have a thorough handover and trust her entirely, along with Emma in the baby room who is also brilliant.
We look forward to watching him grow over his few years at The Beacon.
Reply from Jenny, Improvement and Support Officer at The Beacon Day Nursery & Pre-SchoolThank you for your kind words and taking the time to leave a review. We are delighted to hear your son is thriving with our lovely Team members and we value your son's well being at the The Beacon Day Nursery.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.322)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.322) out of 10 for The Beacon Day Nursery & Pre-School 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 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 4.778 for The Beacon Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (28 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.778
  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 3.544 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Beacon Day Nursery & Pre-School 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 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 = 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 51 number of registered child places is 10.2. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.2 = 0.294
  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.
