My daughter attended this nursery from six months old through to school room and now my son attends. Highly recommend this nursery, great friendly staff who are always helpful. Both children settled in really well and love attending.

Review from Kerrie W (Mother of Child) published on 6 March 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Big Robins is an outstanding nursery. My child very quickly settled in and for the first time enjoys nursery (having attended a different nursery and cried every time we dropped him off). Within two weeks he stopped crying and looks forward to nursery. He has come on in leaps and bounds in his character,
confidence, happiness and education/skills. The staff seem to enjoy working there and get to know, understand and work with the child in the right way for the child. Staff are caring, professional, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. It is well run with good cleanliness and they are pro-active in doing deep cleans to help prevent the spread of diseases (unlike the previous nursery)! Love the app, great for keeping up to date with what the child is doing and for nursery messages.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our twin daughters started in early 2019 at the age of 16 months. Their development in the past 12 months since starting has been a pleasure to see and can be attributed to the professional, caring and dedicated team at Big Robins. We are extremely happy with the choice we made and trust we put in Big
Robins with the priceless development of our daughters. We would highly recommend them to our closest family and friends.

My daughter loves going into nursery. She loves all staff there which makes me so comfortable with leaving her there. I know she is in the best place. She has learnt so much and developed so quickly since being at Big Robins.

Since my granddaughter has attended this nursery she has been cared for in the most professional and caring way. All staff have a very kind and caring nature towards all children that attend. They make learning and discovery through play exciting and fun. My granddaughter is thriving at this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Lovely nursery and staff, they are always very helpful and nothing is too much trouble.
My daughter loves to go to nursery and has made lots of new friends.
She loves the stay-and-play days when I’m able to go into the nursery and do activities with her.
The food always smells lovely and my daughter
has no complaints.
They spend lots of time outside playing which my daughter enjoys. She tells me about doing yoga and learning phonics.
I would recommend this nursery to others, and I’m sure my daughter would too.

Review from Gemma P (Mother of Child) published on 13 May 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy has attended a couple of nurseries over the last 2 years, and Big Robins Nursery is by far the best. He was quite anxious about attending and being separated from me, but the staff are just wonderful and so patient, and the progress he has made since attending is remarkable.
The topics
they cover with the children are varied and this shows in my little boy's improved speech and development. The outside play area is amazing, and according to my little boy, the food is much nicer than Mummy's!
They also work really closely with the parents by providing them with parents' forums and parents evenings.
If you are looking for a safe and nurturing place for your children to go to in Stafford, then Big Robins Nursery is your answer.

Review from Ashleigh H (Mother of Child) published on 7 May 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As parents, we viewed every nursery possible in our town and big robins by far stood out the best!!
The staff are absolutely amazing! Our little girl has gained so much confidence and her development is improving every time. Facilities at the nursery are brilliant, the manager himself has been working
hard on the outside play area which has turned out fab! Kids love it! Our child is a fussy eater, well was a fussy eater as the staff have been able to get her to eat so many different meals throughout her time here and she now eats pretty much everything. Daily diaries are given on collection of children so you can see what your child eats, drinks and sleeps, toilet habits and all that they do throughout the day. Overall this nursery is outstanding from the cleanliness to learning and staff! Thank you all at Big Robins ??

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A friendly nursery with excellent staff. We receive written feedback every day on what my daughter has done that day which is lovely to receive. The attention to help the children develop can be seen each month through a written assessment for the parents to review and the progression our daughter is
making with their help has been amazing.
I would definitely recommend them to friends and family. The high standard of care and the friendly welcome is beyond wonderful.

We have had a wonderful experience of Big Robins. My daughter started going when she was one and is still going at nearly three. When we’ve been away for work the staff have been a wonderful support for her and really kind. She absolutely loves the women who work with her and loves to go. She’s vegetarian
which they’ve always accommodated without question. The online updates are so wonderful, especially when we’re away, and we are always kept completely up to date with her progress. We looked at a couple of places before choosing Big Robins and I am certain we made the right choice. The girls who look after her are so special.

With a real emphasis on education as well as fun, Big Robbins is perfectly set up to prepare children for education. My daughter loves going to nursery and I know she is in a happy and professional environment. Staff is helpful and fun and she has made some real connections with other children.

My child loves Big Robin's Nursery. They have been attending since a baby and the nursery are a credit to there development and achievements. The staff are great and my child knows everyone by name and everyone has time to talk and tell you what has happened that day. Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Big Robins is an absolutely fantastic nursery. Our daughter loves attending, and we know that she is well looked after whilst she is there.


We love receiving updates via the eyLog so we can see what activities she has done along with photos and comments.


The staff at the nursery are all caring

and friendly, this was a massive part of our decision when we chose this nursery.


One of the main things that caught our attention whilst looking around the nursery was the fantastic garden and the beautiful indoor colourful themed walls with work the children have done.


Our daughter has learnt and has come on so much during her time at Big Robins, we are so glad we picked this nursery.

Our son joined Big Robins in October and was very accommodating in getting him a place and making him feel so welcome in a short period of time.
Since joining he has come on leaps and bounds, talking, counting, singing, he loves to go in and loves his cuddles from the lovely staff in a morning.
Very
clean, great food and varied diet! Outside play area with chickens and train and outside toys are fantastic!
One very happy little boy!

Nice and cosy place. Great for nurturing children's imagination. Professional staff, big dedication to the children. Great care. A clear summary of the daily activities when collecting your child. Excellent experience with our first child and our number one choice to send our second child, despite not
been on our route to work.

My Son has been attending since August 2017 and he absolutely loves being there. The staff are lovely, always friendly and polite. You are always kept well informed of your child's progress whether that's through the updates the nursery staff post on your individual eyLog or the log you are given at
the end of the session/day. All the food is made in the nurseries own kitchen and dietary requirements are catered for. The nursery has a lovely outside play area with a wide range of toys for the children to play on.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.164)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.164) out of 10 for Big Robins 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 7 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 4.917 for Big Robins Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (77 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.917
  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 4.247 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Big Robins Nursery is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.8 = 0.547
  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.
