With a shaky start to our childcare adventures, we decided to take our daughter to Serendipities day nursery. The staff were so welcoming and despite how little she has been there already, drop off is an absolute breeze, she comes home absolutely shattered which is a winner for bedtime. I get a daily
handover with what she's had for dinner, what she's been doing. She has an allocated key person which supports her learning and development. Could not recommend Serendipities any higher than what I already do. They are all amazing staff and you're made to feel so welcome. No day is the same and every day is an adventure. I feel extremely confident and calm that she is being well looked after.

I am very happy with Serendipitys nursery Grantham branch, the staff are very friendly and really care about the children. They have fun, educational activities every day, which my daughter particularly loves; she likes to get messy. The food is varied and healthy and, based on the Christmas meal, delicious!
I have recommended this nursery to several people and will continue to do so.

I can’t recommend Serendipities Nursery highly enough. My daughter has been going for 18 months and the love and care they show when transitioning them through the various stages from Baby to Toddler to Preschool is amazing. All of the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and have a genuine love of children.
The peace of mind it gives you knowing your little one is well cared for whilst you have to work is just priceless. Thanks to you all.

We recently moved to the area and are so happy with Serendipity's. The staff are lovely, the children spend lots of time outside and do great activities too. The hours work brilliantly for us as we can start at 7am. The flexibility with using our government funded hours also works well.

I would never send my daughter anywhere else. This nursery treats all of the children like their own, and they treat them all equally. When I drop my daughter off in the morning all the staff make you feel so welcome saying hello and engaging in a conversation to see how you are etc. When I pick her
up she comes home so happy from the activities they have been doing and from the good food they cook as she always seems to eat it all.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I could not recommend a more caring nursery than Serendipitys Day Nursery. The educators are well trained and professional. They pay close attention to each child's development and keep a daily record of all activities to give the parents a good understanding of their child's day. The children are kept
occupied with an array of activities which stimulate their learning and progression. The nursery itself is warm and friendly and there is always a special learning event on. I am so grateful that my son has been so well looked after.

My daughter loves attending this nursery and am very happy with the care that she receives. She has fresh hot meals every day and has helped her to eat food she wouldn't eat at home. She always has lots to tell me at the end of her day about all the fun activities she does there. Staff always keep me
up to date with everything she's done in the day and also future events I may need to know. Definitely recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
In past 2 years my little angel has learned so much. Now it's almost time to say goodbye and join her new school but I can definitely say that she will miss Serendipity's nursery. Staff are amazing and they have been there for us. They took brilliant care of my little angel every time when she was there.
My
daughter learned how to be more confident with herself and she's so much better with language. That's the biggest thank you to staff because they helped her with that. Each day step by step and it wasn't easy to start from nothing. Thank you for all you have done.

This nursery is great, staff very professional, I can really see how my son changed his behavior (in a good way) over last 5 months (since he started in January). I like that they learn through experience and every day, they have something exciting to do in the nursery!

Review from Magdalena (Mother of Child) published on 25 May 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
What I like the most of this nursery is the dedication and love that all the staff members have not only towards the children, but also the parents and rest of the family. They always take a lot of time to tell you every detail of your child's day. I also love the possibility to pick him up from inside
the room and being allowed to see exactly what he has been doing (and he also loves to show me the toys he is playing with, as well as his friends).
The nursery has started some very interesting new activities for children, like golf and French classes. My son is now singing songs in French to us! They have lots of toys and activity corners, which allows children to develop their imagination in many different ways. I would say that they also learned a lot about food with the variety of their menus.
I have a second child who will soon start going too. I love the baby's room and the sleeping area they have for them, but most importantly, I really like the staff who takes care of babies.

My daughter has been going to this nursery setting for 9 months and her development has been monitored and improved throughout that time.
The setting is like a home from home. The activities are messy which I love. The staff are professional, friendly and clearly care for my daughters well being.
I
know my daughter enjoys going there as she gets excited and happy when we approach the front door. That's a recommendation enough for me.

Fantastic nursery, very enthusiastic about child's individual needs and circumstances. Very good with helping support parents with any queries and future situations e.g leaving for school are looked at and assessed in great detail for the child. Excellent safeguarding and a real family feel. Brilliant

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for Serendipitys Day Nursery Grantham is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 5.000 for Serendipitys Day Nursery Grantham is calculated as follows: ( (252 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 5
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Serendipitys Day Nursery Grantham is based on 21 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 21 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.
