I could not ask for a better nursery! It is beautifully laid out and presented and the staff are 100%, if not more than, committed to the care and wellbeing of my daughter. They have gone beyond any expectation and have helped us beyond what we could have asked for. I will always appreciate everything
they do.

I cannot recommend Albion House Day Nursery highly enough. My daughter has attended for nearly 3 years now. The manager and her staff are amazing, supportive and genuinely care. My daughter’s development has been phenomenal which I whole heartedly believe is because of the nursery. They have also been
supportive to me as a parent. They truly do work with you. It’s a kind, friendly and homely setting.

The nursery itself is beautiful, the children love playing indoors and outside, they use the outside as much as possible with the children. My little one loves going and cannot wait till it's her days to go into nursery. The staff are wonderful and very welcoming and treat the children and their family
like family. They are very supportive as a whole. I have had both my children at this nursery both at different times and they have always been as wonderful as the last time we came back with our new addition. I would recommend this nursery and their staff above and beyond to anyone looking at taking their little one to a nursery or pre-school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been at the nursery since he was 11 months old. They have supported his development exceptionally well. He is always happy to go into nursery and appears to be well-liked by his peers. He has had some delay in his speech, but with their support, his speech has improved over the last couple
of months and continues to do so. The team are very friendly and I wouldn't hesitate to refer them to others who are searching for a nursery place. We will be sad for him to leave in August, but on to the new chapter - school.
Thank you Albion House and Team!

Albion House is a great nursery, my daughter comes home happy and tells me she has had a nice day and what she has been doing. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and it didn't take her long to settle in at all. It is a warm and homely nursery and has great outdoor space too. I would recommend
it to anyone.

Our daughter started nursery as a shy 15-month-old and is now a confident 3 and a half year old. She has been nurtured and nourished by all the staff at Albion House, they show exceptional care. There is nowhere else I can imagine sending her and she loves going, they have nurtured her in all areas
of her development and know her as an individual.

We needed a nursery for our son and knowing what picky parents we can be we knew it would be a struggle. Until we met Albion staff, right away we felt at home in the nursery and extremely comfortable with the staff. 2 years later and we absolutely 100% made the right choice. The nusery manager the
ladies have been amazing with not only our little boy but with us too at times when needed. It’s not just a nursery it becomes a part of your life like family and Albion checks every single box!

Albion House provides an excellent standard of care. The staff are knowledgeable, professional, great with the children and very happy to discuss any issue with parents. The various rooms are well equipped and the children experience a wide range of activities; staff ensure the children's key development
needs are met, but also give them plenty of opportunities to develop their own interests. My children have thrived at Albion House and I have no hesitation in recommending it to any parent looking for a great childcare option.

Albion House nursery offers children a lovely environment to grow and learn. The staff are wonderful and are like family. They nurture each child as an individual - they encourage the children to develop in confidence. They learn all the basics that set them up for the next step in their education.
My grandchild is so happy at nursery and their support to all the family is excellent. Thank you to the manager and her team.

All the staff are so friendly and professional, they have made both myself and my son feel so welcome and at ease. The communication I get about my son is great and the staff are always more than happy to talk and listen about anything I have to say about my son. My son has already developed his confidence
in recognising numbers and beginning to sound out his name even in the short amount of time he has been there. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

A lovely nursery with an amazing team of early years practitioners. A homely feel and always a warm welcome. My daughter has been attending here since she was 9months old. She is now 3 and loves it. She always comes home happy. Communication is great and nothing is too much trouble.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending the nursery for over a year. He absolutely loves going there and is very fond of all the members of staff. He has come on leaps and bounds since starting nursery and I think a lot of this is to do with the activities and the interaction between other children as well as the
staff. I love that activities are planned outside of the nursery too and that they always get outdoor play. All in all, I would strongly recommend the nursery to other parents who want their children to develop in a kind, caring, personal environment.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.971)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.971) out of 10 for Albion House Day Nursery 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.971 for Albion House Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (266 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 274 Ratings = 4.971
  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 Albion House Day Nursery is based on 23 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 34 number of registered child places is 6.8, which has been reached with 23 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.
