Review from Bethany C (Mother of Child) published on 3 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After maternity leave I was very anxious about leaving my little boy, we had spent all but the first 10 weeks of his life in lockdown and he was very used to our home routine and it being just me and him. All the girls made me feel a lot better about leaving him with them, they follow his routine that
we have at home and he absolutely loves it! It’s lovely that he is getting to engage with other babies still at this strange time (lockdown) and is getting very used to me leaving him which I thought would be hard work, the transition was surprisingly very easy! We also love Tapestry and seeing all the fun things he does whilst at nursery as well as sharing photos from home aswell.

Wonderful nursery. The staff are caring and considerate and keep parents informed at every stage of the children’s development. I could not be happier with the level of care that my child receives. Thank you.

Both of my children attend Kirby Muxloe nursery and have loved it from the beginning. I feel so grateful to all of the staff for supporting them and making it such a happy place to be despite the current situation we’re all in. I’m confident that my children are being looked after well and have both
learned so much through the staff and being around other children. Both my children have gone through changes since being there (weaning, potty training etc) and have been supported totally.

We have used Kirby Muxloe day nursery since 2014. Both children have attended since they were 6 months old and this nursery has been such a positive experience for us all. The staff have felt like family and cared for both kids with the utmost care and love. I feel sad thinking about when my daughter
leaves for school in the summer because our journey with of them will have come to an end but we still continue to recommend them to anyone who will listen.

My son loves it here. He is challenged and cared for, he’s always happy and his development is bouncing forward.
The staff are polite, friendly and welcoming. They care for my boy as if he is their own.
Whatever phase we are going through, or development stage, whatever problems I have, I can count
on the nursery for advice and support.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The time had come for me to return to work, so I had a really important decision to make as to where my little boy was going to attend nursery. From the very first viewing until today I made the right decision.
All the staff are fantastic! The nursery felt like a home away from home and the amount
of activities that my little one participates in is fantastic! As for the food - you can smell the freshness when you walk through the front door and it’s never a surprise that my little one has had two portions. He loves it!
The transition and changes I’ve seen in my boy are amazing which really goes to show that the nursery is doing a great job with his development!

Kirby preschool is a lovely place! An extremely inviting environment for both children and parents. My daughter settled in quickly and has a long list of friends. She herself talks highly of the staff, she loves them.
She especially likes Friday which is gym day and eats well at breakfast and enjoys
a varied lunch which is catered to her pescatarian diet!
The children there all seem really happy every time o go to pick my daughter up and she’s started to be very excited about going there every day.

Kirby Muxloe has been a wonderful start to my child's start at nursery. They have been nothing but accommodating and wonderful in all matters. Nothing ever seems too big or too small for them to deal with and the difference in my child since attending has been wonderful to see.

Absolutely lovely nursery! The staff are friendly, helpful and supportive. My child has enjoyed himself immensely and has come along in leaps and bounds.
I’ve had support through all aspects of weaning and development and the whole experience has helped build my child’s confidence.
I’d highly recommend

My son joined the nursery in November 2019 after having spent over 2 years at another nursery full time. The staff have made him feel very welcome and settle in quickly. He talks about both of his teachers and looks forward to seeing them. He has made lots of new friends. He has learnt new things, his
learning journey is always up to date and his observations very detailed and a pleasure to read.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy has been attending the nursery since he was 11 months old and will be starting school in a few months. I have nothing but praise for all of the staff at the nursery. My son looks forward to going to nursery every day and always comes home feeling excited about the activities he's taken
part in. The staff genuinely care about him, show him affection and treat him fairly and consistently.
The meals at the nursery are very good quality and he has always enjoyed the variety and trying new things. They always ensure that the children get plenty of outdoor play and he is regularly outside when I arrive to collect him in the afternoons.
The managers are very approachable and helpful and have good relationships with all of the children. There are regular parents evenings held during the year, where we can find out what he's been doing well at and what he needs to work on. I would confidently recommend the nursery to any of my friends and family.

The staff are extremely welcoming and excellent. My daughter sometimes goes in unsettled and doesn't want to leave me. But the staff comfort her and she has an amazing day. She comes home talking about the staff in her room and is very happy.

All the staff are very welcoming and friendly when I see them on a Thursday when I take my little boy. They are also on hand to give advice if worried about anything. The nursery itself is very bright and plenty of different things for all children and babies to enjoy.
Just an all-round lovely nursery
and not have to worry about leaving my little boy for the day they are also available on the phone when I call to check on him.

My son has attended this nursery for the last 3 years. I viewed a number of nurseries before choosing this one. We received a brilliant welcome and I got an instant good feeling. The staff are lovely, I like that everything is included in your fee and there is a big lovely garden. My son has been very
happy there and I’ve seen his confidence grow and learning develop since attending more regularly. I have recommended this nursery to friends already and my daughter will also be starting later this year.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.716)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.716) out of 10 for Kirby Muxloe 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 4.916 for Kirby Muxloe Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (131 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.916
  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 Kirby Muxloe 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, 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.
