Edwalton Day Nursery is a lovely place for all age children, my son is now a butterfly after bumblebees and ladybird, he has really enjoyed all the classes and all his key workers have been amazing. Thanks, Edwalton.

My son started nursery in August and has settled in so well. The staff have been amazing and so welcoming to us all. Any concerns have been addressed straight away and we have really enjoyed our experience. My son loves nursery and is always so happy when we pick him up.

This setting has been transformational for our two girls. They have instilled confidence to try new things, instilled politeness, and truly ensured our eldest is ready for the big step of primary school. We can't thank you enough!

Really happy with our son's first month at nursery it's hard for baby and parents settling-in but the staff have been very supportive. There's plenty to keep him entertained and I love the newsletter telling us what all the rooms have planned for the next week. I love that they get outdoors every day
they can and all rooms have their own area to play.

I'm so pleased we chose Edwalton Day Nursery. Our little boy started in the caterpillar (baby) room at 10 months old and has now been attending for just over 3 months and has settled in wonderfully. The staff really care for my little one and his development and wellbeing and I trust them completely.
The staff are knowledgable and respect each child for their individual character. They've been a huge support to us as parents during a challenging few months and the management team have also been very supportive. The activities always keep my little one entertained and the space, especially outdoors is lovely. The menu is varied and healthy. My boy is always clean (except for a bit of dinner or paint as expected) and well cared for and the staff always make us aware of any accidents (which of course happen to a nearly toddling baby) and are very attentive when he's not been well. They provide regular photos and development updates which we really appreciate. Excellent 10/10.

Edwalton is a great nursery with amazing and attentive staff. My child has been attending since he was 7 months old and we have never had any problems, he absolutely loves attending. The staff are fantastic at making the children feel at ease with room transitions and settling in. They were brilliant
and on the ball all throughout lockdowns and with the ever changing covid protocols.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy started nursery in July 2021. It has been a wonderful experience and it makes it so much easier leaving him when he’s so happy at nursery.
So far he has been in Caterpillar and Ladybird rooms and all the staff have been brilliant. They clearly have formed close bonds and care about him.
He’s also made friends with the other children.
I also really appreciate everyone else who contributes to running the nursery so smoothly. From the first communication I had when we enquired to date they’ve been outstanding.
Due to Covid we had to pick a nursery without seeing children playing etc and I was nervous but I couldn’t be happier - it’s been an all-round excellent experience and would highly recommend Edwalton Day Nursery.
The only thing I would like more of is updates/photos on his days, particularly as we still can’t go in to see him playing.

We visited Edwalton Day Nursery 8-years ago and knew it was the place for our children. Both daughters have now "graduated" and are in school with the youngest having finished at nursery last week. We are eternally grateful for what the team at Edwalton have done for our kids. They have supported, developed
and moulded them into amazing little girls. On top of this, the way that they ensured that during the last 18-months (in unprecedented times), our children felt safe and continued their development. Without a shadow of a doubt, we would recommend the nursery to family and friends, and in fact, do so regularly.

Exceptional level of service. Our boy has only been attending for 3 months but he comes home every night with a smile on his face and can’t wait to go back! We can’t praise the quality of care enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The quality of a nursery really shines through not when things are easy, but when things are difficult. My son had a period of very disruptive, difficult and damaging behaviour. The nursery staff were excellent at helping to manage his behaviour and tried differing strategies to help my son, who was
going through a difficult phase emotionally.
The nursery staff realised more support was needed for my son and made an application to the healthcare trust which would provide more support for his needs.
I just wanted to say thank you to the staff at Edwalton Nursery as their skill, care and dedication to the children in their care is excellent.

I couldn’t be happier with Edwalton Day Nursery. The staff are friendly and welcoming. They always giving their time to talk and listen to you. The activities they do are fun and still educational - my daughter raves about everything she does. The food they serve sounds lovely and great variety. I highly
recommend.

We as a family are so grateful to the pre-school with the gentle yet encouraging approach to our daughter's potty training fears. She is still refusing to go at home but is keen to please staff at the nursery. A massive thank you to the team, your care and going along with what our daughter is comfortable
with is what has allowed a shy and reluctant little girl to have the confidence to face her fears.

A fantastic nursery with brilliant teachers who engage the children in fun learning activities.
We really enjoyed getting involved with the children at preschool for Valentines Day. There were numerous activities set up and all the children, parents and teachers got stuck in!
The staff are all always
very friendly and they understand each individual child’s needs and encourage their development.
It has been lovely to see how my son has progressed within this nursery.

My son started in Bumblebees several months ago. Since then he has progressed significantly in all areas of his development. The staff have been fantastic with my son as he initially was upset when we left him. However, my son's confidence has grown over time as he has got to know the staff and the
other children. He now thoroughly enjoys nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.700)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.700) out of 10 for Edwalton Day Nursery (Nottingham) 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 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 4.905 for Edwalton Day Nursery (Nottingham) is calculated as follows: ( (154 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.905
  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 4.795 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Edwalton Day Nursery (Nottingham) is based on 14 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 88 number of registered child places is 17.6. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.6 = 0.795
  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.
