My daughter is enjoying her time in nursery every day she is attending. The nursery staff are always friendly and smiling. My child has been in this nursery for more than a year and we don't have any issues.

Staff are really encouraging with children, my child settled quite quickly with the help of the staff who comforted him when he was unsettled.

We are so happy with our experience at Home from Home. Our daughter has loved every minute and thrived. The nursery is like a second family and home. The staff are amazing and caring and we couldn't have wished for a better nursery. We are not only nervous as our daughter prepares to start school but
also sad she is leaving such a wonderful environment. However, all the staff at the nursery are so supportive and they have prepared her, and us, so well for such a big change. They have looked after her since she was four months old and we couldn't be happier.

My child has been at Home from Home - Parkside since he was 9 months old. He has learned a lot of new things while being at the nursery. The care he has received has been excellent in many ways. He has enjoyed his time at the nursery and will be sad to learn.
I have felt confident and safe for my child
to attend the nursery.

Our child had a very pleasant experience at Parkside nursery. She has made friends there and it is sad for her to leave this place. Teachers were awesome too, they were very helpful in our daughters progress to learn new things (reading, writing, drawing etc). Thank you all very much.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are very friendly and interested in each of the children’s progress. They take the time to find out about the parents and stage at which they are with the child and try to continue any developments to the level of the parenting at home. Also, if the child has successes they let parents know
even if it’s simply eating foods they don’t usually like to eat. Very comforting leaving my child with them each time.

Absolutely fantastic nursery. I have used several great nurseries with my 3 children and have a vast experience of nurseries within my job as a primary school practitioner. The care is top quality and personalised to the needs of my child.

Wonderful staff, kind and caring to my child's every need.
The outdoor area is fantastic and offers so many learning opportunities for my child, I love that there is a range of animals here and he can explore them with staff.
A great routine for the children and it encourages my child development
and skills.
The overall standard of the nursery is good, would recommend to anyone especially those who love outdoor spaces.

Review from Laura E (Mother of Child) published on 30 April 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We chose Home from Home as our son's nursery after bumping into a group of children and adults walking (and huge trollies for tiny tots) in the local racecourse park. The team were so outgoing, especially one lady who encouraged us to visit and once we saw the nursery, we didn't look back. 'Homely'
is a very accurate description, in that the nursery itself is a very large house with lots of different rooms and areas in the garden for play, animals, learning and eating home cooked food. The staff are warm and generous, firm and fair, creative and chatty. They take time to keep us updated and put more time into Tapestry online than we imagined and seem to remember and care for all parents as well as the children. We often find the time to chat with staff and enjoy drop off and pick up time. Our son is growing in this nursery and we are proud that he attends.

I am very satisfied about the nursery and the progress of my son. He seems very happy and I can hear every day a new English word. I would recommend it to anyone who would ask my advice in terms of nurseries.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.901)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.901) out of 10 for ABC123 - Home from Home Parkside 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 78 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 76 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 4.901 for ABC123 - Home from Home Parkside is calculated as follows: ( (882 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 932 Ratings = 4.901
  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 ABC123 - Home from Home Parkside is based on 76 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 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 76 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.
