Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has flourished at Emscote House. She has loved all of the key workers and staff who have looked after her. The staff are lovely, we would put our second daughter in at the nursery if the location continued to be convenient. The nursery has the best garden for outdoor play. We are happy
for our daughter to be taking away all the lovely memories she has had there. The parents are also very nice and my daughter has great friends and gets invited to lots of parties.

My daughter has really enjoyed her time at Emscote. The staff are very caring and really get to know the children. My daughter has made some great friends and has grown in confidence and she is ready to start school in September. Both of my children went to Emscote and I would highly recommend it as
a fantastic nursery.

Our two children love their time in Emscote House. They both started at ten months and my eldest is now three and a half.
The staff are friendly and approachable and know our little ones well. The nursery is clean and a wonderful environment for the children. We feel happy to leave them with such caring
staff!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our son has been in Emscote House since he was 9 months old. We have seen him flourish in this time. The staff took into consideration feedback from parents. The key improvements have been changing the rooms around so that toddlers have better access to the toilets for potty training. As far as learning
in the pre-school room goes, our son was well prepared for primary school life. He is ahead of his year with regards to reading. Thank you to the ladies in Ladybirds and all others for taking good care of him. Would prefer to see fruit as the only option after meals instead of pudding.
P.s would also be grateful for discounts for children who can't have dairy and bring their own meals in.

Our son absolutely loves Emscote House Day Nursery. The staff in each room are like a family and you always have the same people looking after them each day. Knowing they care about him so much and that he has a bond with them has made being a working mum so much easier. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend
Emscote House!

Can’t fault this nursery, they’ve helped my son settle in and he really enjoys going. He loves the food that is provided. I like that they always make sure the kids all get a turn in the garden.

My son is thriving since he has started at Emscote House Day Nursery his confidence has grown so much and he really enjoys his time at the nursery.
All the staff in his room have made it so easy for him to settle at nursery and his initial reluctance for me to leave him did not last long he now gets
very excited as soon as he sees the nursery and waves me off happily.

We can't recommend this nursery highly enough. We were slightly anxious about our daughter starting nursery as she wasn't taking to a bottle, but after a few weeks she does so brilliantly and is also transitioning well to solids.
Our daughter loves the nursery and we are delighted by the kind, friendly
and professional staff that look after her.
We particularly like the updates we receive on her personal development and have been impressed by the levels of care, security and attention shown.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Very happy with the overall experience. Great learning opportunities for our daughter. The pre school team provide fun and interactive ways to learn and teach the children new things. They are a great team and one of the strongest out of the other teams we have experienced during our time there.
Overall
we would like to see more structural feedback at parents evenings - some have lacked facilitated discussion.
We have experienced a couple of instances where there has been a lack of communication in relation to key worker change/sickness.
Introductions to new key workers (even though 'just helping out') could be improved.

From start to finish, Emscote has provided a safe and supportive environment for our son.
He has flourished under the care of all the staff. We joined with a serious allergy and speech issues, both of which were understood and supported.

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.
