Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Paintpots Nursery is a fantastic place for your child. My son has been going for a year now and the progress the teachers have made with him is amazing. His speech has come on leaps and bounds and he is now more sociable and plays with other children. He only attends one day a week currently so they
have achieved so much, in a short space of time. The teachers put a lot into their key children. I get daily updates when he is there through the blossom app and term time reports which are so informative and helpful. The indoor and outdoor space is excellent there is so much to do whilst there. My son got a place in three schools to start in September but I have decided to keep him at Paintpots until he starts reception as the level of care and attention my son gets is second to none. I would highly recommend this Nursery to attend.

My son has been going to Paintpots for a few months now. He has settled in really well. The staff are amazing with him. At the end of each day the staff go through everything he has done that day and what he has eaten. I love the updates on the app as I get to see what he has been doing. All the staff
members are amazing at what they do and it really shows in how much much my son loves going to nursery. He has learnt so much since starting. Not got anything but praise for the Paintpots team.

I cannot speak highly enough of this lovely nursery. My little one is always so happy to go and see his friends. He is always warmly welcomed by staff members who ask how he is, throughout the day I am updated with news of how his day is going and on collecting him I am always given more information
about his time there. It's so nice to hear of his achievements, he is thriving and very happy.

My son has been going to Paintpots Newall Green for over a year now and he absolutely loves it! He came out of his shell so much in his previous room and has just moved into the preschool room now! Love that they have a Spanish session every week. All the girls are so lovely and even when my son cries
leaving me in the mornings, I know he will be fine and is given lots of cuddles! Would definitely recommend this nursery.

I probably could not be able to express my gratitude simply through this review. The team is extremely caring about my kid and they helped him a lot with his understanding of the word. They helped us in terms of his educational plan and other support that will certainly help my child in his journey
to fully develop his cognitive abilities. Very responsive and helpful with the paperwork and any educational related enquiries. I can genuinely recommend this nursery to all the parents and their little ones!

My daughter has been attending the nursery since she was 9 months old. She has developed into a confident, funny and clever little girl with the help of the team at Paintpots. All the guys are so friendly and one staff member, in particular, will go above and beyond to make sure your children’s needs
are catered for. There is such a lovely family atmosphere to the nursery that I couldn’t imagine leaving her anywhere else. Thank you for all of your hard work.

Paintpots have been excellent in the care they have provided for my little boy. They were very accommodating of his additional needs and his dietary requirements.
The staff team were very nurturing and always helped my little one to feel as relaxed and as happy as possible.
Nothing is too much trouble!

I brought my youngest daughter here after her older sister had attended for 18-months before she started school. The staff had always been attentive, caring and just generally lovely so I didn't even consider anywhere else to send her.
She flourished so much in there, her speech and understanding
of the alphabet, phonics and number was amazing!
Paintpots are always the place I mention or recommend when people are asking for preschools.

Both my children have attended this nursery from being six months old, they are now 8 and 4. They currently attend the holiday club and love it. The staff are friendly, polite and approachable. The manager is very professional and is approachable and there to discuss any query’s also, both the owners
have been brilliant over the years. My eldest has additional needs, and they respond to him in a caring and understanding manner and have made every adjustment to cater to his needs and what makes him feel comfortable. I honestly couldn’t rate this nursery highly enough. It’s why I’ve been using them for the last 8 years!
Reply from Andrew Howarth at Paintpots Newall GreenThanks, Lisa, as one of our first Paintpots parents ever, it's lovely to see you still regularly with both children.

My son has now left for school, however, he enjoyed his two and a half years at Paintpots immensely and I would recommend them to any local parent. We have another on the way now, and no doubt will be using Paintpots again.

The nursery has grown from a few children and staff to nearly fully staffed and occupied. Preschool has a fully qualified teacher who is lovely and very experienced. The teacher and nursery have made extra efforts to care for our autistic child and have provided additional resources and training for
staff at no extra cost to us. Authority rating and all staff are either level 2/3 NVQ trained. Simply brilliant.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The team at Paintpots nursery made my little boys transition into nursery life a very pleasant one, I was always apprehensive with regards to leaving him somewhere new as I work 5 days a week, however, the nursery nurse and her team are extremely friendly, caring and clearly passionate about their job,
making my little boy feel secure from day one. One month on and my little one is so happy when I drop him off at nursery and full of smiles when I collect him, the detailed daily sheet tells me everything I need to know and there's always a team member from his room ready to greet me with information on his day. Daily walks and trips to the park, farm, zoo also make this nursery a brilliant choice for any child.
I find their online learning journals 'Tapestry' a great way for me to keep track of my child's progress, I often log on to it at work and check out any new observations and pictures that have been added.
I opted for Paintpots nursery purely on the feeling I had on my show around as well as the friendly staff and facilities i.e. separate sleeping room, individual outdoor play areas and a dining room.
I also discovered that most nurseries charge an extra for food for the day, on top of theire daily rate, however, Paintpots don't do this.
Overall I would highly recommend Paintpots nursery to any parents.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.955)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.955) out of 10 for Paintpots Newall Green 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.955 for Paintpots Newall Green is calculated as follows: ( (298 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 312 Ratings = 4.955
  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 Paintpots Newall Green is based on 26 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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 26 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.
