Review from N G (Mother of Child) published on 13 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't express enough how thankful I am for the incredible support and care my children have received at this nursery. The staff have played a crucial role in their development and overall happiness. It's heartwarming to see my children thrive in such a nurturing environment.


What truly sets this

nursery apart is the exceptional support they offer to parents. Knowing that they go above and beyond to ensure both my children and I are well-supported is invaluable. It's reassuring to have a team that genuinely cares.


This nursery isn't just a place for childcare; it's a community that fosters growth, happiness, and strong relationships. The dedication and commitment of the staff are truly appreciated, and I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent seeking the best care, support, and development for their children.

Review from Susannah T (Mother of Child) published on 6 October 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child recently started at the nursery and we were apprehensive about the start due to them becoming an older sibling around the same time. I cannot express how happy and relieved we are that our child has settled so easily into the nursery and that is down to the caring, warm and reassuring nature
of all of the staff. We are so impressed by the resources and facilities the nursery has to offer.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little one has been there since 7 months old and has now just turned 3. I was so worried about going back to work and leaving him in someone else's care, but this nursery are fantastic! They settled him in really quickly and he loves going. The support they have given to his development has been
amazing and he is coming on in leaps and bounds. Brilliant, friendly staff!

Review from Catherine C (Mother of Child) published on 30 September 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my children attended this nursery from around 9 months old. They both love going to nursery and love all the staff. My daughter has recently started school but she still gets excited seeing the staff when we drop her brother off. They both have developed really well the support they give to
the children and parents is amazing, I feel confident enough to approach any of the staff with questions or concerns.

Review from Rosie T W (Mother of Child) published on 29 September 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been coming to this nursery since she was one, and is now nearly three. Putting a very small child in nursery for the first time is always nerve-wracking and emotionally challenging, but the staff are so understanding and really do look after the children as if they were their own. I
have always felt completely comfortable leaving my daughter at this nursery and can tell that she is happy and relaxed there. The children's achievements are celebrated, and the staff work with parents/guardians on areas where they need encouragement or have developmental needs. I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.

Review from Hana B (Mother of Child) published on 29 September 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Three of my children have attended the setting. Each one starting in the 0-2 room and two moving up until reaching school age. They have loved every day, the staff are friendly, helpful and the children speak fondly of them. Running into nursery every morning. We are currently waiting on a space for
baby number 4 to start after Christmas and I’m sure he will love it as much as the rest. We are kept updated on their growth and development. They help with anything like potty training etc.
During covid our youngest daughter began her journey here and she grew independent. We were kept up to date on how she was settling and even though we weren’t allowed inside with her she settled so well. I couldn’t recommend them any more than I do.

Review from Rachael B (Mother of Child) published on 29 September 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have two sons that attend the nursery, they have both settled in really well. The staff are always very welcoming and friendly. They’re both very well looked after, changed out of wet clothes if needed (this wasn’t the case in a different nursery my eldest son attended and I’d often collect him to
find he was wet). The staff at My Start day nursery apply sun cream when needed, ensure my sons are appropriately dressed depending on the weather i.e coats/hats on. I’m extremely happy with My Start day nursery, I believe it has helped with my sons' development and above all, they are happy and enjoy going. I would highly recommend the nursery and can’t thank the staff enough.

My daughter has been going here for a little under a year now. She absolutely loves going here, all the staff are so welcoming and friendly. They’ve helped to potty train and her speech has come on in leaps and bounds also.

Review from Jacqueline E (Mother of Child) published on 22 September 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy went to this nursery from 13 months until recently. He's now in school but misses the nursery staff and kids. They took their time to get to know him and they were always warm and smiley. My boy's quite shy normally but he really came out of his shell going there and he misses it! I was
nervous to send him to nursery but I found myself very comfortable with the staff as I learned they have the kid's best interest at heart and really work with the kids the best they can to get to know them and learn them individually. Incredible nursery and if I have more children they will be going there without a doubt

Review from Josh Y (Father of Child) published on 12 February 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending My Start since she was 7 months old and she is now 3 years. She is always eager to get to nursery in the morning and see her friends and teachers. There are always different activities and resources out ach day which keeps her interested throughout the day.
The staff
are really friendly and always give a detailed account on my child's day.
When my daughter moved up into the different age group rooms the nursery would ensure a member of staff from the previous room would go with her into the other room which gave me peace of mind.
I feel that I have a great relationship with the staff and they are always interested to know what my daughter enjoys and does out of nursery time sharing her achievements at home and at nursery.
I would highly recommend My Start to other parents.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.100)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.100) out of 10 for My Start 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 My Start Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 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 3.1 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for My Start Nursery is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 50 number of registered child places is 10. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.1
  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.
