I am so happy to say that my daughter attends this nursery, I am so pleased with how far she's come since joining. Her confidence surprises us daily and I'm so proud of her. I am currently pregnant with my second child and I can't wait for them to attend.

The staff are so welcoming and friendly, my son has been going to the nursery since he was 1 years old. He enjoys going to nursery, whilst he has been there, his speech and development overall has developed really well.

Absolutely love this nursery! Cant recommend it enough! So caring, attentive and they always put the children at the centre of what they do. They are so accommodating and welcoming and the staff go above and beyond. The owners and management are very approachable and will go above and beyond to help
with any queries. My son attended for two years, left, but then came back after two weeks in another setting as it just didn't compare to this nursery. They welcomed him with open arms and made sure he settled back into his routine. They offer many different sessions to accommodate any work pattern and even offer breakfast and after school club!! My son is always happy going into nursery and is happy when he comes out, he always says he has had a great day! They're supportive of his toilet training and are happy to support parents too. I highly recommend this nursery! Thank you Precious Times! Keep doing what you're doing!!!

My son has been going to this nursery for just under a year - he has come on so well since starting here.
The staff are very friendly and caring and always have nice things to say. When anything does go wrong - the staff are apologetic and professional and put steps in place to prevent reoccurrence.
I love the app where I am informed about my sons day including Nappy changes, meal times, activities and my favourite is the photos.
The nursery has had some renovation recently, it is a nice building with a big garden.
The communication is great - we receive newsletters and also memos including homework and next steps.
I'm overall very happy with my experience as a parent of this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little one started nursery at 9 months old, I was extremely anxious but the wonderful staff at Precious times made me feel so at ease ! He's now 18 months old and going to nursery is one of the highlights of his week! He RUNS to that front door and can't wait to start his day! It's not like other
nurseries I viewed, it's like a home from home. My favourite thing about Precious Times (other than the amazing staff!) is the constant updates throughout the day, from what he's eaten, things he's said to what's he's been making and playing with. I also absolutely adore the artwork that comes home with him! Handprints, footprints, little scribbles and painting! I keep every single thing and it makes my day when he comes home with a new piece! Precious times make me feel like I'm dropping him to a house full of aunties for the day! They've taught him so much and I'm so so grateful for them every day! They're caring, professional and go above and beyond for your little one ! Second to none.

My son started this Nursey in September 2024 at just 18 months old. I was very sceptical at first due to him being so young, but this Nursey has helped my son develop amazingly! They keep you updated all through the day on what activities they are doing, meals they've eaten etc. The meals they provide
are fantastic. All the staff are so lovely and welcoming. My son settled here straight away. Couldn't recommend this Nursey enough!

My son attends precious times day nursery. He has now been going for nearly one year. My son is very happy and comfortable here and often walks into the nursery with a smile on his face. Every time I pick him up he is always full of smiles and says he has had a good day. I feel confident in the staff
at this nursery, if I ever have an issue I feel it would be dealt with quickly. On the whole, I think it is a fantastic nursery and run very well. The staff are really family, and really care about the children which speaks volumes.

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery, the staff are kind and patient and have taught her so much! We have kept her in this nursery despite it being out of area and have even selected her new school out of area just so she can continue accessing the wrap around care at this wonderful setting.
They put so much effort into engaging the children and involving the parents. It's very reassuring leaving your child somewhere you know they will be cared for properly

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little one has attended the nursery for over 12 months now, he was previously with a childminder. The nursery were so welcoming upon visiting, I got a warm homely feeling and just knew that he would be happy here. He has had a few key workers during his time so far including three members of staff.
Each individual that has been a key worker for my boy has always given thorough updates and he can't stop talking about them when he gets home. It's clear that a lot of time is taken to carefully prepare for what each class does each day to cater to individual needs and interests. They not only teach skills to prepare them for school but enhance their talents/interests... for example, my little boy loves spiders and they often encourage him to go on a bug hunt, capture bugs and even keep some contained in the classroom. They have animals which brings out a caring, compassionate side to children. My little one loves this nursery, I know I made the right choice. P.S FOOD IS AMAZING.

My son has been attending this nursery since 2023. And as his parent, I am pleased to share my review of Precious Times Day Nursery.
They have an enhanced play area(s) and classrooms, providing a safe and stimulating environment for all the kids.
Their staff are so attentive and caring, and make sure
each child individually receives attention. Which I think is beautiful.
They're really supportive and help encourage your child to grow in terms of speech development and behavioural skills.
Overall, I am more satisfied with the progress and care at Precious Times Day Nursery. And I hope this quick summary intrigues other parents to sign their kids up!

At first, the nursery was attentive and helpful. However, the children would come out with soaking wet clothing and even dry poo on my eldest. I removed my child as a member of staff shouted at him and the nursery seemed to just brush it under the carpet. We have now moved to another nursery and it
is amazing, can't fault it.

Professional and approachable, management are very thorough and responsive - needless to say this cascades down into the rest of the team.
Initially my 18-month-old baby attended, now I have 3/4 children in for breakfast club and holiday club.
The children continue to thrive and this is encouraged
by staff engagement and undertaken activities.
All my children have a specific diet which the nursery facilitates.

My daughter has been at Precious Times for the past two years since she was 10 months, and she loves it. The changes made by the new owners have been really thoughtful and positive. The staff are also super friendly and approachable. I do believe my daughter has thrived there and will continue to do
so through preschool.

A fantastic place to send your child. The care they provide is second to none and my child is always excited to attend and spend time with his carer. His needs are always attended to, and they are always coming up with new and inventive ways to keep the children entertained and occupied. Highly recommend
this place.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic nursery!
My daughter has been coming here since she was 8 months old and in that time her early literacy, social, speech and language skills have come on leaps and bounds.
The communication and parent involvement are great and she runs straight in of the morning without a glance backwards.
She has developed lovely bonds with her friends and key workers and is ecstatic when she sees two particular members of staff and the fish.
I love that they try her with all different nutrient-dense foods and have had her feeding herself by 10 months old. The activities are above and beyond when following the EYF.
Highly recommended.

Precious Times Day Nursery has truly exceeded my expectations, offering a safe, fun, and educational space for children to thrive. From the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere put me at ease. The combination of a dedicated staff, a spacious garden, and the opportunity for kids to
interact with animals creates an enriching experience that's hard to match. I'm grateful to have found it for my son's early years.
Located in a convenient spot, the nursery staff are lovely and it has a cosy environment. What truly stands out is the expansive garden area that provides space for children to play and explore.
One unique aspect that captured my son's heart (and mine) is the presence of friendly pet animals. The joy on his face when he interacts with them is simply priceless. This nurturing environment encourages a deep connection to nature and animals, fostering a sense of responsibility and empathy. His favourites were the little baby ducks!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.821)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.821) out of 10 for Precious Times Day Nursery 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.821 for Precious Times Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.821
  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 Precious Times Day Nursery is based on 12 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 12 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.
