Review from Kate H (Grandmother of Child) published on 26 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is the best I have ever encountered. They are consistent and strict when they need to be and relaxed and go with the flow when it can be that.
My granddaughter has thrived there from day 1 at 9 months old. They really get the best out of her (when she isn't being stubborn) and allow her
character to come alive within boundaries.
Keep it up team! You are doing an amazing job.

My son loves going to nursery every day. The staff are really friendly and approachable. He has lots of fun with all the activities and resources they offer, and enjoys his meal times - home-cooked food from the nursery cook who is also really friendly.

Review from Mary (Grandmother of Child) published on 20 July 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Wonderful nursery and wonderful staff who made my grandson's time here happy and fulfilling. They have a great understanding of special needs, have various sensory equipment and will adapt playtime and learning to suit the child. It was sad the day my grandson left and we both miss everyone at Hopwood
Hall nursery. Even the chef and cleaner are brilliant.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Hopwood Hall are amazing, they are warm and welcoming and let my little girl settle in at her own pace, she is now very settled and enjoys her time at nursery.
At picking up time she has a book about her day and I am informed of everything she has done in the day.
The nursery is always
clean and I have had no problems. The staff are brilliant and I'd give it a 5* Keep up the good work.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.083)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.083) out of 10 for Hopwood Hall College 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 Hopwood Hall College 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 3.083 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hopwood Hall College 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 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 = 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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.083
  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.
