Review from M B (Mother of Child) published on 15 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot recommend Ryan House Day Nursery enough. I am an incredibly anxious, first-time mum and the thought of putting my daughter into the care of strangers was so overwhelming, especially because my daughter has a litany of allergies. But Ryan House was simply incredible from day one. The amazing
chef was the best teammate I could have in ensuring my daughter did not incur any allergic reactions whilst eating there. And the care she received from all of the staff was just incredible. She came out every day with a beaming smile, I received daily updates and photos on the app. I wish we didn’t have to leave! If you’re considering Ryan House, I urge you to take a tour and meet the staff and see how happy the children are. You won’t regret it.

My child has attended this facility for a fair few years and in those years has drastically grown in confidence. We picked this nursery for the behaviour of the children, 'forest school' and quirky extras it offers. The staff are exceptional, in particular her three favourites who my child adores and
talks about. She has made friends for life here. Well done Ryan House.

Our daughter has attended another nursery pre Ryan's House but the change in her is massive. She waves goodbye and is happy to arrive at Ryan's House. She sometimes looks disappointed when I come to collect her!
Whilst her key person has changed a few times, the same staff are there which is usually
a good sign. Our daughter has developed into a social and confident child with the help of the staff in the Tigers room.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are so pleased that we chose Ryan House Day Nursery for our three children. It has been amazing. The staff go above and beyond to make sure they know every child and to personalise activities and learning for them. Having a disabled daughter, it was really important that we found a nursery that understood
her needs and supported her with her development. The staff have embraced the physio and speech and language programme which they do religiously and our daughter has come on leaps and bounds as a result. This is all down to the time and effort all the staff put in. We are extremely grateful to all the staff but particularly two members of staff for helping our daughter.
Our younger twins are also doing really well at the nursery. They love attending and the staff seem to know their interests really well.
Overall, an exceptional nursery that I would recommend highly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child attends nursery just two afternoons a week and despite him not being there that often, the staff are invested in getting to know him and his interests in order to get the most out of his sessions. The pictures and videos we receive of him really look like he’s enjoying the surroundings, staff
and other children which is so important. They always ensure the children are outside as much as possible as well as empowering them to go off on the climbing facilities, doing crafts, stories, songs etc. My child always comes home singing a new song he’s picked up at nursery! We’re so glad he attends Ryan House and would definitely recommend.

My children are currently at Ryan House Day nursery. It is a fantastic nursery, great staff and management and brilliant facilities (climbing room, big field to play on, 'forest School' and trips out). Since attending Ryan House my children have developed so much. There are lots of activities and learning
to get the children ready for school. My older, disabled child attended Ryan House and he came along so much due to the dedication and care of the staff. All of the staff are great with the children. The managers are also informative and do a great job. The feedback provided at pickup is detailed as well as in the app. This is the second nursery I have sent my children to and it is definitely the better one.

Very caring staff with low turnover. Good photo updates to keep you updated on what your child is doing when at nursery. Really wide range of activities indoors and outdoors. Children are encouraged to learn adult skills safely and with good supervision. Good sickness policies.

Our child simply loves the nursery. He has a great relationship with the staff, they are extremely professional, super thoughtful, and as a parent we are so thankful for their hard work. We appreciate what they do on a daily basis. The kids get tons of sensory play, time outside, they create art and
we especially like all the fun activities around public holidays and other festivities. We do get a monthly feedback call on how our child develops and to ask questions which is another great service. Can’t stress enough how much peace of mind it brings to parents knowing our child is in good hands and is actually having the best time, learning new things. The only negative point I want to mention is the outside area which could be a little bit less messy and look more inviting, but I truly believe the kids don’t care about this at all. We’d highly recommend Ryan House Day Nursery.

My daughter started at Ryan House Day Nursery in June 2020 when she turned one and has had a wonderful 3 years. The staff are exceptional and the relationships they have with the children are very special. The level of thought, time and creativity that goes into the learning opportunities is fantastic.
She always comes out of nursery happy and excited to talk about her day. All the staff, but particularly the room leaders and the new manager are friendly, professional and approachable.

Both of my children (aged 2 and 4) have been at Hickory House for the last 18 months and we are extremely pleased with everything about it. The staff are all great and take a real interest in all of the children. There is a great range of facilities including soft play, a sensory room and an indoor
climbing frame room meaning that even when the weather is poor the children can get a change of environment and exercise.
Both of my children are extremely happy there, have made good friends and have very well supported at all times.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.806)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.806) out of 10 for Ryan House Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.846 for Ryan House Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (207 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 4.846
  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 4.96 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ryan House Day Nursery is based on 19 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 99 number of registered child places is 19.8. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.8 = 0.96
  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.
