Review from Claire R (Mother of Child) published on 29 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The new ownership of Melrose Nursery has completely transformed the setting. Prior to this I was looking into other settings to move my children to. My daughter now skips in happily everyday, always has a smile on her face and has developed so much in the last few months. My son has now moved on to
school but was really sad to leave nursery and loves going back to visit when we collect his sister. The new ownership has brought a huge changes in terms of the building itself with all the work that has been done but most notably the happiness of the staff. It's clear they now feel valued, appreciated and are happy to be there each day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since the new ownership, Melrose Nursery has completely transformed into an outstanding setting. The owners demonstrate real commitment to children's welfare, supported by professional, well-trained and caring staff. The curriculum is engaging, carefully planned and adapted, ensuring children are happy,
motivated and progressing well. The nursery promotes kindness, respect and independence, with calm routine and a nurturing atmosphere. Safeguarding is prioritised, facilities are secure and the refurbished environment, including safe and inviting outdoor area, encourages confidence and curiosity. We feel complete trust here and will send our second child in future.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Beautiful Nursery and great staff. My daughter has grown immensely and enjoys going to Melrose Nursery everyday. The environment is spacious, well organised and we, as parents, get updates daily and monthly regarding our child's development and how she's been settling in. There's plenty of space and
activities the nursery arrange everyday. The nursery is clean and well put together. Member of staff are attentive and helpful. Overall satisfied.

Review from Harriett N (Mother of Child) published on 19 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am a mother of two, with both children attending Melrose nursery. I genuinely can't say enough good things about it. My boys are really happy and absolutely love the staff. The staff are wonderful, kind, caring and experienced. You can tell they value and care about each individual child. The space
is great as well, lovely open rooms, very clean, everything is brand new and beautiful. It's only been a few months but you can already tell it's going to be one of the top nurseries in Salisbury. Highly recommend!

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.683)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.683) out of 10 for Melrose Nursery (Salisbury) 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 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 Melrose Nursery (Salisbury) is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 48 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 3.683 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Melrose Nursery (Salisbury) is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 65 number of registered child places is 13. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 13 = 0.308
  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.
