Poppins Day Nursery is situated in a spacious detached bungalow, benefitting from a corner plot. Having been awarded as an Ofsted 'Outstanding' provider twice in August 2017 and in May 2023, Poppins provides a home from home environment.

Inside, the nursery offers a range of spaces to suit children of different ages and stages of development; the Baby Room, The Hatchlings, and the 2-4s room - The Nestlings.

Limited spaces mean that the team are able to provide children with individualised attention, ensuring they receive the care and support they need; promoting their emotional development as well as offering exciting learning opportunities for all ages through adult and child-led experiences.

In keeping with a traditional homely environment the nursery provides nutritious nursery cooked meals prepared daily by a nursery cook.

The team at Poppins adopt a holistic approach, recognising that children thrive when they, the nursery setting and the team work together. They also value parent and family collaboration and work hard to ensure that you never miss out on key moments or milestones and always feel included in your child's time at the nursery.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Both of my children have attended Poppins and have been extremely happy, as are we as parents. Friendly, caring staff who take a genuine interest in the children they are caring for and subsequently know them very well. The move to a more child-led learning/play philosophy has been fantastic.

My daughter is always excited to get into Poppins Nursery on a morning! She thoroughly enjoys her time there and all the different activities they have to offer. She has a great relationship with all the friendly and caring members of staff, especially her key worker!! They offer a great range of healthy
home cooked food which my daughter also loves as I'm often told she's gone in for seconds! I would highly recommend Poppins Nursery to anyone who is looking for somewhere for their children.

My children have blossomed at Poppins. When they first started, staff were wonderfully skilled at bonding with them and providing exactly the right care and nurturing they needed. From helping with toilet training to encouraging literacy and preparing them expertly for what they will do at big school,
I could not have asked for more from Poppins. Highly recommend the nursery and all the lovely staff who genuinely love children.

Review from Sally (Mother of Child) published on 6 July 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my daughters have attended Poppins Day Nursery and they have both thrived as a result. My eldest is now at school but talks fondly of her time there and my other daughter is still there and having a ball. The staff are friendly and genuinely care about the children they are looking after. At the
moment the Nursery is definitely the best it has ever been, everyone working there is continually thinking of ways to extend the learning of the children in a multitude of fun ways. The outdoor space though not extensive is being redeveloped to provide even more activities. The children are already growing their own food and are about the embark upon Forest school at a local primary school. Every child is seen as an individual and their contributions to their own learning valued. It is a Nursery with a family atmosphere and yet the standards of a high quality childcare provider. Providing home-cooked food and a range of off site trips it is definitely worth a visit.

All three off children have spent their early years here and have all made brilliant progress and thoroughly enjoyed going, making some lovely friendships along the way! I have never been concerned about leaving any of them, and know that they are happy and safe when I do, which is added peace of mind.

Poppins Day nursery and it committed and friendly staff have played such an important part in our family, handing over your child to someone else is always hard so knowing I could rely on their care made this so much easier. Both my children have needed extra support, my eldest is highly sensitive and
the staff were very supportive, understanding and proactive in helping her to manage this. My youngest has a Cows Milk Protein Allergy and the staff have worked very closely with me to ensure she has maintained a healthy diet whilst not being exposed to anything that would trigger her allergy. As a family we have been thrilled with the care our children have received and both of them are very close with their key workers whilst enjoying the company of all the staff. The nursery have always provided them with great and meaningful activities and we have love all the time and effort gone in to the little details of their time there.

Very happy with the standard of care. My son is always very excited to tell me what he has been doing. Whilst the outdoor space could be better I know the team are doing all they can to make improvements and certainly make the most of the available space.

Poppins Day Nursery is small but lovely and caring nursery with great staff. With a designated key work, our little boy has come on so much since starting nursery 6 months ago. The nursery provides a great range of activities and parents are kept well informed as to what their child(ren) have been doing
through their daily record and through their online Tapestry journal. The nursery are happy to follow your child's routine and have a great relationship with parents. We are really happy with the service being provided and, more importantly, our little boy is incredibly happy there.
Reply from Ellie, Manager at Poppins Day NurseryThank you so much Alex, we are glad your little boy is so happy at Poppins :)

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Poppins is a loving and caring environment, they have provided such consistency with this while my children have been in their care. One moment that I will never forget and will be forever grateful for, was the care they gave to my little girl who had her first fit. Without getting out any information
on her they were able to tell the paramedics everything there was to tell about my little girl. So professional - organised and efficient - I could't ask for anywhere better for my children.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.724)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.724) out of 10 for Poppins 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 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 4.924 for Poppins Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (134 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.924
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Poppins 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 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, 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.
