Had our first child at Cuddles some years back and were extremely happy with the care and great staff that we now have our second child there while our now older first child also goes to breakfast and after school clubs there. Cuddles is friendly, clean and knowledgeable of your child's requirements
and needs and our kids love it there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been going to Cuddles Day Nursery Parkstone since she was 14 months old, she is now nearing two and by the smile on her face at the end of each day there, I can tell she has thoroughly enjoyed herself. She is always so happy to see the staff, they are friendly, helpful and extremely
welcoming, which gives you that reassurance you need when your leaving your precious little one for the day.


The end of term reports are really impressive, they contain all of your child's learning achievements, goals to be worked towards and plenty of pictures to show what they've been up to, so lovely!


Every day is filled with activities indoor and outdoor, including watching the ducks hatch and grow up, trips to parks, crafts and painting to name a few! It's nice that you get to hear at the end of the day what they have been up to, eating, sleeping etc.


I could not fault Cuddles, everyone involved does a fantastic job!

Both of my sons have attended Cuddles, it is exceptionally good. Both boys enjoyed their time at Cuddles. The staff have been great and very friendly. I always go off knowing that my son is safe and is having fun whilst learning too.

Cuddles provide exceptional care, they are patient, kind and understanding.
They provide a fun, nurturing environment. My child looks forward to attending the holiday club and always has a good time.

Review from Emma (Mother of Child) published on 28 September 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We're really pleased with how our daughter has settled into the after-school club here, she gets picked up from school each day and is always happy when she gets home, even when she hasn't had any of her friends with her. The staff are cheerful, friendly and the office staff have always been very accommodating
when we have had a change of situation.
We also use the nursery for holiday clubs from time to time, and again, our daughter always has fun and looks forward to going in.
The only issue we've ever had is the occasional mis-communication between staff and ourselves over timings but this has always been resolved promptly. Overall, it's a weight off our minds knowing she is being cared for properly and having fun at the same time.

Review from Minnie (Mother of Child) published on 28 September 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have had a daughter attend Cuddles who is now at school and have a son who currently attends Cuddles and I really do recommend other mothers and fathers, if in doubt, to place your children here. On the children's first days of being at Cuddles, I had great worries as it was the first time I had left
them. The staff here were amazing and worked with us to get them settled and when settled, they enjoyed every day and every relationship they grew whilst there. My daughter is now at school and achieving above and beyond and using the tools she learned from Cuddles to grow. She has become more confident in herself with the help of the staff at Cuddles. My son still attends and looks forward to every day that he goes.

We use the holiday club at Cuddles and both my children aged 7 and 8 really enjoyed the days they went there over the summer. Friendly and fun staff and a good mix of activities and trips to keep them entertained. I would highly recommend the holiday club to others.

Review from Daniela G (Mother of Child) published on 18 September 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We just started in April so my review will be based on that. Not really much to say about it, my son settled in well, the staff helped him integrate :) The fact that he was able to have a toy with him makes him excited to go to the nursery. The interior is a bit poor, I would say it needs a bit of
modernisation (the furniture, computers, books etc.) Overall I'm pleased and hopefully my son will enjoy going to the nursery every day!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My girls began nursery at 11 months old and I felt very comfortable with leaving them in the care of the staff in the under 2's room. They were patient, professional and caring. Many varied activities are provided for the girls which cater for physical activity, arts and crafts and plenty of learning
opportunities. The staff also follow the routine the girls have at home. I would highly recommend the nursery to other parents.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.480)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.480) out of 10 for Cuddles Day Nursery Ltd (Parkstone) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 13 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 4.910 for Cuddles Day Nursery Ltd (Parkstone) is calculated as follows: ( (143 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.91
  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 4.57 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cuddles Day Nursery Ltd (Parkstone) is based on 13 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 114 number of registered child places is 22.8. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.8 = 0.57
  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.
