Before my son started Tipton Nursery he was so clingy and wouldn't leave my side but ever since September being at this nursery he has learnt to become so independent and has settled in so well. I cannot fault the staff they are all amazing and friendly to approach. My son absolutely loves attending
here playing and bonding with all the other children. I 100% recommend Tipton Nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started here in May 2024 when I returned to work after maternity leave. I was apprehensive about leaving him after spending 9 months together but the staff ensured my son had plenty of settling-in sessions to familiarise him with the nursery settings and routines. My son has settled in very well
and has learnt new skills since attending. He loves going to nursery and settled in very well. I'm comfortable leaving him knowing his care needs are being met. Staff are great too, any queries are responded to quickly and I receive regular updates regarding my son.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son's only been here for about six months, and I can confidently say, that Tipton Nursery has surely made a difference in him, from the excitement he shows when it's his nursery days, to how his social skills have greatly improved. The administrative coordination of the nursery and the courteous
acts of the teachers are also commendable!

My son goes to nursery here every week and always comes home happy. Ever since he started nursery, he has improved in every way, as an individual. The nursery is extremely helpful and I can tell they always take good care of all the children. My daughter is due to start in September and I know she will
be equally happy here as well. Really great nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't recommend this Nursery enough. My oldest daughter came here 8 years ago and she absolutely loved it. Now my youngest daughter is currently here and she loves it too. The staff are amazing and friendly. They keep me updated on my child's progress, they inform me of any accidents straight away
(there aren't many accidents but my child's a little daredevil with no fear). They are always available for a chat if you need to talk to them about anything. They also help with my child's toilet training and other development. I am so happy with how my daughter has come out of her shell since attending this Nursery. I always know my child is well looked after, well-fed, happy and safe.

My daughter loves going to nursery. Always goes in with a smile and comes back out with a smile. If we turn up early to the nursery, she tries to go to her classroom. The staff are all friendly and helpful.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.768)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.768) out of 10 for Tipton Nursery 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.868 for Tipton Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (92 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 106 Ratings = 4.868
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tipton Nursery is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 9 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.
