At Just for Starters, the well qualified and experienced team are there to support your child to reach their full potential. Every child is unique, and the staff provide an environment that is fun and enriching as well as safe and secure to meet your child's needs.

There is an inviting and generous outdoor space including a sensory and all weather garden. Children also have access to sand and water play, climbing frames, balancing beams and a large selection of bikes, scooters and sports equipment. All these activities are important to enhance children's co-ordination and physical development.

Inside, the nursery has different areas designed to spark the child's imagination and further develop social and physical skills. These include the home corner, soft play area, puppet theatre and construction. In addition, there is access to sand and water play, arts & crafts and cooking, several book corners, numerous toys and games and lots of opportunities for mark making.

The child-centred and free flow approach allows children to follow their interests and develop at their own pace.

At the nursery, menus are varied so children have the opportunity to try different foods. They believe that mealtimes should be happy times where social skills are learnt.

The Just for Starters team warmly invite you to visit them soon.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little two-year-old joined Just For Starters in October 2021, and we’re delighted with the level of learning, care and overall attentiveness shown. Our child has settled in so well and is thriving in his new environment. We receive regular and useful updates on his progress, and the overall staff/management
engagement is fantastic. Just for Starters is a hub of activity, there is lots of variety, which keeps our little one thoroughly engaged/amused and excited. We like how our child is treated as an individual, the staff have really embraced his interests and are encouraging him to explore, grow and develop. He arrives at nursery with a smile and leaves full of stories about his little adventures and friends.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.649)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.649) out of 10 for Just for Starters Day Nursery Ltd 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 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 4.899 for Just for Starters Day Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (108 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.899
  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 4.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Just for Starters Day Nursery Ltd is based on 10 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 = 3.75
    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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2, which has been reached with 10 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.
