Gaskells is an amazing nursery! The staff are so supportive towards both the children and parents, and they plan so many fun and interactive activities. We drive further out to ensure our children go to Gaskells because of how great they are.

I have had 2 of my girls at this nursery. My youngest has come along so much, with all the support she had from all the staff in every room! My oldest still asks to go back as she loved it so much.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been so impressed with how my daughter's key worker at Gaskells has worked in making sure she is meeting her next steps. The staff are very friendly and are always willing to have a conversation with you; this is extremely helpful for a parent within the education sector knowing how my child
is supported with their education within the nursery setting. I am very happy with the overall care my daughter is getting as she always looks forward to going to nursery. I know that when I drop my daughter off, she is in the best hands possible and I can get on with my work and not worry because I know the staff are well trained and provide exceptional care for her. Thank you, Gaskells, for all your hard work and helping my daughter settle back into nursery in what has been a difficult year.

My little boy joined Gaskells Private Day Nursery around the age of one and will now be joining primary school from September. He has thoroughly enjoyed his time at Gaskells and made many friends. I have been pleased with his development and progress at nursery and his key worker has kept me informed.

Review from Sabrina B (Mother of Child) published on 29 April 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have two children who attend this nursery and both have been happy since their first day and are thriving. They are always happy when I leave them in the morning and are equally as happy when I pick them up. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff who all work extremely hard to create a nurturing
and stimulating environment for the children. I looked at many nurseries prior to visiting Gaskells and they stand out in so many ways. As a primary school teacher myself, I had and continue to have high expectations and Gaskells meet them every time. Their low staff turnover and continued forward-thinking approach to early years teaching and learning make this nursery one of the best I have experienced. I wouldn't want my children (and future child) to attend anywhere else.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Gaskells Private Day Nursery now for 3 and a half years. They have been so good to both me and partner and my daughter. The care they provide is outstanding and my daughter loves going. They are very accommodating and they go out of their way to ensure she is happy and
settled in each new class she has been in. My daughter starts primary school this year and we all will be so sad to leave Gaskells but we will be forever grateful for all their kindness and support they have shown to our daughter and to us as a family. I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe, secure, happy and loving environment for their child.

My daughter has been at Gaskells for nearly 4 years as I work full time. They have been very good to us and the facilities are great. They have so much space and the site is very secure.
Their whole team made my little one fit in and she has learnt so much.
I would highly recommend this nursery/preschool
to anyone, no questions asked.

My, now 6 year old, attended Garkells from the age of 2 and I love the nursery that much my, now 2 year old, attends. I have never had any issues with the nursery, the staff go above and beyond to provide outstanding care for my child. My 6 year old loves to talk about nursery and all the things she
experienced. My 2 year old loves his weekly drama class and football sessions at Gaskells and looks forward to going to nursery every day! One word to describe the setting and the staff FANTASTIC!!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have two children at Gaskells, my oldest child is now in pre-school having started in the baby room at 8 months old. They appealed to me due to being one of the only nurseries close by offering term time only, which is fantastic with me being a teacher. Staff are incredibly friendly and approachable,
and take a genuine interest in the childrens lives meaning they know likes/dislikes/learning styles. With my youngest, they have been amazing with his medical needs, even providing 'free from' products for him. Info on their time in the nursery is thorough and always positive!

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.910)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.910) out of 10 for Gaskells Private Day Nursery Ltd 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 7 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 4.917 for Gaskells Private Day Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (77 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.917
  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 3.993 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Gaskells Private Day Nursery Ltd is based on 7 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.6
    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 89 number of registered child places is 17.8. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.8 = 0.393
  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.
