Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has settled into the nursery so smoothly. The nursery has a homely environment, which has enabled her to settle. The staff, Shauna and Bilal, have ensured Kaiann settles, and she is always happy. I walked into the nursery and felt it was perfect; the staff, the environment was the perfect
fit for my daughter.
I also like the app, which I think is amazingly easy to use; everything has helped for myself and Kiann to adjust to the new routine. Now she doesn't want to leave the nursery.

My grandson, has been at Springthorpe since he was 10 months old, and the progress he's made is truly remarkable. Now he is approaching 2 years, he's thriving, especially since moving to the toddler room during August 2025. He's more confident, social, and loves interacting with the older children.
My grandson's development is well beyond his age, with the curiosity, speech, and understanding of a 3-4 year old. The staff have been fantastic, nurturing his growth every step of the way, I'm so grateful for the care and support they've given my grandson, - proud grandmother!

Our son has progressed so well since joining the nursery. The staff are very devoted, nice and kind, helpful and provide us with regular feedback and advice, which we value very much. Our little one went from crawling to walking with their help and he is always happy when we leave him in the morning.
I like that they have a lot of activities and get every child involved. Their communication skills are very good and they are open to help us whenever needed.

I am very happy with this nursery when my son started nursery he didn't talk, walk or eat, but he learned all of this on nursey. The staff helped me a lot with many advices just to help him to eat more.
I can see that my baby is very happy on nursery and that keeps me calm at work, and on the app from
nursery I know what he's doing daily.
Thank you all for taking such great care of my baby.

My son has been attending Springthorpe Day Nursery & Pre-school since September 2023 and I can honestly say that it’s the best decision we have ever made for him. His confidence has improved immensely, his speech and cognitive skills improve every day and he has made some amazing friends in both the
staff and other children in his group.
The staff take such amazing care and put so much love into their work. I am put at ease knowing that my son is so well loved and taken care of.
We are especially impressed with our son's key worker who is honestly an angel in disguise (every member of staff) our son adores her!
I cannot recommend this nursery enough.

At first, we had a few teething problems and were a little concerned this wasn't the right nursery for our daughter as she had trouble settling in however they worked extremely hard with us and worked with our child and now she is happier than ever. The staff there are all extremely caring and professional.
We haven't had any problems at all since the beginning and I genuinely think the staff there are outstanding. We receive pictures throughout the day and regular updates via the app which is great. Thank you!

Review from Danielle L (Mother of Child) published on 24 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My son was going there up until July. We decided not to send any of my other children because we feel it went downhill and not because of the staff I would say the manager.
A very high staff turnover which I was told was because they are trying to get the right staff and let go of old staff that don’t
fit what Tommies are trying to uphold. I was told this by the area manager. Which is fair enough but they only started letting me know who was looking after my son after I spoke to her. Previous to that, there were people there with no uniform.
My husband and I were not happy with the manager and her attitude towards my husband for a “misunderstanding” which wasn’t a misunderstanding at all, the manager lied. Along with other things that happened where I wasn’t listened to or just ignored.
The area manager was professional when she contacted me and obviously, she tried to sort the situation but I feel it’s my responsibility to tell other parents my situation.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.944)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.944) out of 10 for Springthorpe Day Nursery & Pre-school 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.944 for Springthorpe Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (171 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.944
  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 Springthorpe Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 15 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 15 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.

Lucinda Rumble

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2022

Hello,


My name is Lucinda and I am delighted to be the Nursery Manager here at Springthorpe Day Nursery.


I have been working with children for more than 23 years and have 3 children of my own: Dylan, James and Millie.


After achieving my qualification in Early Years, all the way back in 1999, I was inspired to further my passion and enthusiasm for watching young children flourish and grow within a nurturing, home-from-home environment, which I was part of creating.


I joined Springthorpe with a wealth of experience, including 14 years as a Nursery Manager. Working with a company which has the same ethos and drive for creating an environment for your children as I do is an exciting adventure for me. I am looking forward to building relationships and working in partnership with you and your children.


My door is always open for you if you ever need to speak to me. With that in mind, arrange a consultation with me at your earliest convenience. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
