Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been going to nursery since January 2024 and instantly we were made to feel at ease knowing our baby was safe.
We have watched him progress with his movement, speech, eating habits and social skills and we couldn't be more grateful.
The attention we feel our son gets is extremely comforting
and we know he is looked after and striving as a little boy.

We couldn't be happier with the care our daughter receives at this nursery. From the moment we enrolled her, the staff have been incredibly attentive and nurturing. It's evident that they genuinely care for her well-being and take the time to understand her individual needs. The facilities are top-notch,
providing a safe and stimulating environment for her to learn and grow. The regular updates and communication from the staff give us peace of mind throughout the day. We highly recommend this nursery to any parents seeking a warm, caring, and enriching environment for their child.
Reply from Zoe Hill, Senior Nursery Manager at Echoes NurseryThank you so much for your kind words, this really means a lot to us. It is our pleasure to take care of your daughter.

Echoes have provided the best care I could have hoped for to our daughter. She has been going since she was 7 months old and will stay until she starts school. She adores everyone who works there and has made some wonderful little friends. Her development has been fantastic, thanks in large part to
the enriching activities at Echoes and their attention to each child's individual needs. I can't recommend them highly enough!

All the staff at Echoes are excellent and very attentive to the individual needs of the children in their care and go out of their way to create engaging activities that are tailored to individual children. We are extremely happy with the nursery environment and the staff at Echoes and can’t praise

Both my children received excellent care at Echoes. The facilities, activities and ethos are outstanding, but what makes this nursery truly exceptional are the staff. They are dedicated, professional and friendly, always ready to go the extra mile. My children enjoyed the hands-on activities and the
trips most. They always come home with lots to tell and they miss the nursery if they are away for a while. There’s an on-site kitchen providing balanced and nutritious meals. The staff and motivation are high thanks to good management.

Our daughter loves going to Echoes. All the staff are great; really approachable and lovely. They always keep us up to date with her progress, her daily activities, and if there have been any problems (which there rarely are). The space itself is great too - with the age groups separated out into different
rooms, with an outdoor area where they're able to mix sometimes. I'd highly recommend this nursery to any new parents.

Both my daughters attend Echoes Nursery and it just makes me so happy to see their faces on the drive-in. They are so excited to get into nursery and see all their friends and teachers. My eldest wakes up every morning, even on the weekend and says mummy are we going to nursery today? The staff are
outstanding, so friendly and always available for a chat. They ensure the app is always updated which makes life easier for me. We couldn't be happier with the amazing job Echoes does for our girls.

Our experience has been fantastic. Staff at the nursery really care about our toddler. They keep us updated about his growing-up process by posting detailed descriptions of newly acquired skills and photos of him doing all sorts of new activities. Our toddler has also engaged with his routine at the
nursery so well to the point that sometimes he wants to stay when we pick them up. We are very thankful with all the staff and would highly recommend Echoes Nursery to parents looking for a nurturing nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My youngest attends Echoes Nursery in the early risers room. I had no hesitation signing her up after I had such a wonderful experience with my oldest daughter. Honestly, the staff are just the best and I think the best indication of this is they have stayed their distance. There are 5 years between
my kids and it was so wonderful to see all the old faces there. If the staff are happy then the kids will be too. Such a lovely friendly place, diverse and kind (they have a food bank collection point). Convenient if you work in town,ike I do. My daughter never cries at drop off, if anything she runs in smiling. Well done to the manager, deputy manager and the team. You have really got a good thing going!

My son really enjoys going to Echoes Nursery. They always do very nice activities. In the last months my son has developed a lot and he is more social and open to try different types of food. I'm sure it is thanks to the lovely team who takes care of him at the nursery. Everyone is very friendly and
I know my son is in good hands when I go to work. I highly recommend Echoes to anyone looking for a nursery in the city centre.

Everyone at Echoes Nursery is very professional and know what they are doing. They provide high-quality care and education for my daughter. They are very caring, supportive and dedicated. Echoes helped my little girl build confidence, be more disciplined and independent. She has developed a lot through
play and activities. Everything from her social skills to her vocabulary have come on faster than we imagined, she learns something new every day.

My daughter has always enjoyed the nursery and has built a personal relationship with the staff. She started at the nursery in lockdown and she has developed incredibly over her time at the nursery and this is definitely associated with what is being taught and her experience at Echoes Nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.767)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.767) out of 10 for Echoes 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.767 for Echoes Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (256 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.767
  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 Echoes Nursery is based on 23 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 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 67 number of registered child places is 13.4, which has been reached with 23 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.
