Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is such a great nursery with very friendly and helpful staff. It's quite a scary thing to leave your child when they are so young but from the start I knew my son would be safe there. The staff in the baby room go above and beyond to help the baby's settle in and also to keep parents updated. Thank
you to all the staff you are all amazing!!

My daughter has been attending YMCA nursery for a few years, this nursey is Excellent! Sarah the manager has made massive improvements and is always very observant and attentive. All the colleagues are very kind and welcoming and truly care. I have seen massive improvements in my daughter with regards
to listening and literacy and she always eats her meals in full that have been prepared by the nursery. The nursery is very modern and very clean and they have a large selection of educational learning and skill building toys. Overall this is a 5 star nursery and I have recommended this nursey to all of my mummy friends. Thank you to all of the colleagues for an amazing journey :)

My son started last year and loves going in. He's always happy to see the staff. My daughter has recently started and she is always reaching out for staff and smiling when she gets picked up. I'm told everyday that all she does is smile. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nursery

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been going here since November 2024 & she absolutely loves it here. The staff have been incredible with her from day one, so welcoming & genuinely caring. My daughter is a big character & they allow her to be her full self, whilst still teaching her important values such as patience
and kindness. The staff are always on hand to talk & support where they can. She runs in without even looking back most days, she talks about it everyday, she has made so many friends & the staff are such a vital part of her life. I couldn't recommend the nursery enough. Amazing!!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started attending the nursery in 2023 and I have had positive experiences. The teachers are very helpful and gentle with my daughter and I have noticed positive improvement with my daughter. I especially appreciate how approachable and supportive the nursery manager is. I value her great
communication and listening skills especially with my daughter who sometimes proves difficult to deal with. The manager's demonstration of care and kindness towards the children is one of a kind and she has made the nursery environment more welcoming, and enjoyable for the children. Good works to the manager!!

The manager has made massive improvements in the nursery, she is welcoming to any parent and she truly cares for the children. All the staff are lovely and I can't express how much they genuinely ensure my child is well looked after and enjoys her days. The manager and another member of staff have been
incredible with my daughter and it honestly feels like all the staff care for the children they look after!

YMCA City Gateway have been amazing with my daughter, and her allergy needs. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they truly have made her (and the whole family) feel welcome. The staff are all friendly and can tell they care about the children, we are really lucky to be part of this nursery.

My daughters attend this nursery. My first started when she was just 9 months old and now she will be graduating in July. She has come so far, progressed so much and grown so much. The nursery teachers adore her and she absolutely loves her teachers and going to nursery. She learns so much and her confidence
is out of this world. Now my 1 year old currently goes too, she started when she was just 8 months old and she instantly loved it, never had any tears and her teachers are very nice and caring, always take care of my girls, they get upset when they can't go.
The teachers are all lovely, always help where and when they can, supportive and understanding.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started at YMCA Nursery in the middle of September, 2023 after his previous nursery closed down, giving me a day's notice. My experience with this nursery has been absolutely brilliant. The staff in the baby room are brilliant, very prompt in dealing with any issues. Management and deputy are
also amazing. It's a well-led, caring environment, safe, and very responsive. As a mother, these are all qualities I look for. I would definitely recommend this YMCA Nursery to anyone. To all the staff, please continue to keep working hard, because it is very much appreciated, especially your dedication and commitment.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.231)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.231) out of 10 for YMCA @ City Gateway 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 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 4.909 for YMCA @ City Gateway is calculated as follows: ( (130 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.909
  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 4.322 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for YMCA @ City Gateway 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 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.8
    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 115 number of registered child places is 23. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 23 = 0.522
  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.
