  • Ducklings Day Nursery, Stourbridge
Ducklings Day Nursery provides full day, half day and sessional day care to children aged 3 months - 5 years.

Outdoor play is a key priority of the nursery, and they aim to give children plenty of opportunities to explore the natural world. This is done through trips to their allotment and play in their well cared for garden area.

There is a team of qualified and experienced staff members who are committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for all children, and delivering care that takes into account every child's individual requirements and likes and dislikes.

A range of healthy meals and snacks are provided for children each day by the nursery's cook, and Ducklings Day Nursery has been recognised for this with a Healthier Choices Food Award by Worcester Regulatory Services, celebrating their commitment to providing healthy food.

The nursery is open Monday-Friday between 8am and 6pm.

Review from Kate I (Mother of Child) published on 12 February 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Two of our children have attended Ducklings with our third due to attend later this year.
Ducklings are fantastic in every way. Our son, who attended for three years, has special needs (at the time undiagnosed) and the support we received from Ducklings and every member of staff was fundamental in
his development. They went beyond expectations. We cannot thank them enough and will be forever grateful.
Our daughter currently attends four days a week and loves it. The activities, communication, support, facilities, meals and approach to Covid has always been first class.
We look forward to seeing the same enjoyment from our third child's attendance.
You will not find a better nursery elsewhere.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.940)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.940) out of 10 for Ducklings Day 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.940 for Ducklings Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (158 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.94
  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 Ducklings Day Nursery is based on 14 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 14 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.
