Our son has been attending Emscote House Day Nursery for 6 months and we are extremely happy with the care he receives. The staff are attentive, caring and friendly and have got to know our son well. The feedback we receive at the end of the day is in depth and lets us know everything he’s been up to
and eaten. We are always pleased with the activities he’s taken part in and are impressed with how he’s developed since starting at nursery.

Our little one loves his time at Emscote House Day Nursery. All the staff have been wonderful and really helped settle him in when he first started and then with the transition between rooms. Currently he is in the Ladybird room and the girls have been loving, kind and caring for my son as if he was
their own. He eats really well and has tried so many different foods and experiences that we may have struggled to achieve at home. The manager and the team are very good at offering advice and are always there to answer any questions. I would definitely recommend Emscote House for parents who are looking for their children to have fun, learn and develop in such a happy environment!

My son started nursery at 2 years old in Bumblebees, since day one staff has been amazing always very kind and caring. Very good communication and effective parent partnership. My son is always so happy to come into nursery, even when he is at home always talking about nursery or his teachers. I can
see on his learning development how much is progressed, and how exciting he tells me the amazing activities is, always set up for the children. Very pleased with the nursery overall, definitely recommend it. 100%

Very pleased with the place and the great staff. In my child's first 4 months of nursery I have never had an issue. Every week he is happier and happier spending time at the nursery and he is almost sad to come back home. Great variety of entertainment, kids are followed very well and they take great
care of babies (they are clean and they use good brand nappies/creams). The communication is always fast, effective and professional; I had issues for payments leaving my tax free childcare account, they have been very supportive and understanding. I am extremely happy with my choice and I would definitely suggest it.

My daughter has been at Emscote House since she was thirteen months old, she’s now in preschool.
She’s never liked being away from me and always gets fed up at drop off but I think it shows how great they are at Emscote that she always settles down quickly once I’ve gone and when I come to get her
she tells me what a great day she’s had and what she’s been up to and smiling.
The staff are warm and friendly and a good number have been there for the whole time my daughter has.
We always have a good handover at pick up and she has had some fantastic key workers as she’s moved rooms who have clearly taken time to get to know her interests and use them to engage her in learning and activities. Whenever she’s moved up a room they have always moved her up with a few of her friends which has helped the transition each time.
We get updates through the app and weekly newsletter which also help us keep up to date and know about upcoming events and activities.

My daughter started Emscote in the summer this year, she has settled in so quickly. We get great photos and updates of her on the app! The staff are always welcoming when we drop her off or collect her at the end of the day. Thank you to all who have made the start of her nursery journey a reassuring,
happy experience!

Both my kids started in September and we are so happy so far. My toddler's excited eyes when it's time for school and the love she has for her teachers say it all. For the baby room, the carers are fantastic as well! All the nursery's staff is lovely and caring. It can be so stressful picking the right
nursery for your kids and I am so glad we made that choice. Keep up the great work team!

We have had two children at Emscote House at different stages and we can't fault their care and provision. Every staff member clearly cares for the children and has an interest in the child (even after they have left for primary school!). They are great at communicating with parents through daily feedback,
weekly newsletters and an app allowing you to see your child's assessments/developments along with photos. Having experienced two other nurseries due to relocation, as a parent this has been my favourite and my children are clearly happy when they are there. The outdoor area is impressive for a town location and children are encouraged to play and explore outside regardless of the weather/season. Everything is included in the cost so you don't have to send in any nappies/milk/bottles/food etc.

Absolutely brilliant team, beautiful building and facilities, so well organised and leading in their design and quality of care and education. My son transferred to this nursery when we moved address to this new area and I was blown away by how well he settled in so quickly. A major factor in this is
obviously the staff and how well organised and skilled they are and their individual dedication and passion for their roles. Can't speak highly of them enough. Honestly so grateful to these guys and would recommend highly. Our son is happy to come here and is full of enthusiasm to tell me about his interesting day. He is growing in confidence, independence and creativity. This place is magical! Thanks Emscote for being truly awesome.

Our little boy started nursery at just 5 months old when I returned to work. We were understandably apprehensive of how he would settle in and anxious about being away from him. The nursery were and continue to be so supportive and we know he is very safe in their hands. He has such fun when he is there
and has a real bond with all of the staff in his room.

My child has been at this nursery for a year and I'm very happy with the outstanding service that Emscote provide. The practitioners go above and beyond to ensure my child is happy. The garden space is well equipped and my child gets to go out on a daily basis. Since my child has started at Emscote
I have noticed a massive change in his development and social skills.

My child is due to leave to begin School. We have been using the Nursery since 2018 and in this time have not experienced any issues. The building is in a great location and it’s like home from home. Its staff are very welcoming and make you feel a part of a family. My child has enjoyed their time being
a part of this family and we shall all miss it. I rate Emscote House Day Nursery as exceptional overall.

Both my children attended Emscote House from the age of one up to the start of school. They have different personalities and interests, but both enjoyed their time immensely and have flourished under the care of the staff, who are kind, friendly and always full of enthusiasm. The only negative over
this time has been a lack of consistency in the online system used for feedback, which has varied from frequent/detailed to very little at times. However, having said that, for us, personally, it has not been a major issue, there is always a staff member available at pick up and drop off to communicate relevant information about the day, chat through any worries and celebrate any achievements. The children are always well looked after, supported through any problems/awkward phases and encouraged to develop their own interests and spend time learning through activities they enjoy. The indoor and outdoor facilities are both great.

Review from Oliver F (Father of Child) published on 27 June 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my children moved from another nursery where they were very happy, to Emscote House Day Nursery (Leamington Spa). The staff were brilliant in settling the children into the new nursery, particularly my older daughter who found the transition harder. The practitioners are very caring and take
genuine pride in how they care for the children, providing feedback and showing the appearance of the rooms. The room leader in preschool has also brought in new initiatives and additional learning opportunities which have been excellent. The nursery and company acted brilliantly throughout lockdown which was not the case with all nurseries when speaking to friends. The only minor criticism is that when the more senior leaders within the rooms are not present, there is noticeably slightly less structure, but no drop in the care! We would highly recommend Emscote House Day Nursery (Leamington Spa) and will be sad to leave.

His key worker has gone the extra mile to make sure the transition to nursery was as easy as possible for him, and really taken the time to get to know him and what he likes. Thank

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.590)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.590) out of 10 for Emscote House Day Nursery (Leamington Spa) 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 15 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 4.949 for Emscote House Day Nursery (Leamington Spa) is calculated as follows: ( (169 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.949
  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 4.641 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Emscote House Day Nursery (Leamington Spa) is based on 15 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 117 number of registered child places is 23.4. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.4 = 0.641
  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.
