Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Absolutely amazing in every possible way.


My little boy attended General Day Nursery and he absolutely loved it.
My little boy has complex health needs and the nursery didn't have an issue with this at all. They did all the relevant training and looked after him in the nursery.


The fact that

the staff actually wanted to do all the relevant training, so they could look after him themselves, I thought was absolutely amazing. It shows their dedication and focus was all about all of my little boy's needs and that they looked at the whole picture.


The care is very personal, it's like a family. My little boy loved going to nursery it brought him on so much, he had so much fun and didn't like leaving at the end of the day.


I would recommend General Day Nursery to anybody and I already have my little girls name down to attend as well.


Thank you so much to all the staff for everything you've done and for making his nursery experience such a happy and enjoyable one, he misses you all.

My little boy has attended General Day Nursery since he was nine months old. He's gone throughout the nursery from baby room and is now in the preschool room. He has multiple food allergies and both management, staff and the cook manage this well, and his allergies are well managed by all. This is a
massive peace of mind for me, as both the manager and deputy managers are very approachable and always happy to help. He has his own menu, which the cook and managers put together for him, which is nutritional, healthy and is allergen free for him. His development has come on massively throughout the years and the girls provide lots of fun, stimulating, educational activities for the children to build upon, both the children's needs/development and their interests. He is always well cared for and he enjoys playing outside in the nursery garden which has recently had new resources and is all ready for the warm months, however, the children access the garden both throughout the warmer and colder months.

My little boy has been attending General Day Nursery for almost a year now and we are all absolutely delighted we chose them to look after our most precious boy.


General Day Nursery has never been phased by the challenges of my son's cardiac condition and he has flourished under their care, both

developmentally and with confidence. The staff nurture the children as if they were their own, and although my son's condition is serious, I feel incredibly safe leaving him in their care. The nursery is also incredibly accommodating to your requirements.


I would not hesitate in recommending General Day to any parent looking for a nursery.

My son has attended General Day Nursery for the past 3 years and he has come on in leaps and bounds since he started. His confidence has grown incredibly and he has learnt so much. The staff are amazing with the children and extremely helpful in all areas, they truly care about the children. They have
helped my son a lot and go above and beyond their duties.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

My child has been there from 10 months old and worked his way from Baby room up to Pre-School and has loved his learning journey.
The staff there are like one big family and all take time to get to know your child and you as a parent which ensures a strong relationship is formed.
If there ever is
an issue Management there have plenty of time to listen to you and go out of their way to help resolve it.

My child has been there since a baby. The staff have been excellent with him all the way through, to helping him with potty training to supporting him with his fussy eating. He loves coming to nursery and always runs to give the staff cuddles.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery provided so much support for me when I was going through a tough transition of going back to work full time. I had previously had a bad experience at another nursery and was assured and comforted by the manager and nursery staff here. The care and time they put into my little girl and us
as a family is outstanding... My little girl has flourished in all aspects and loves going to the nursery. I couldn't be happier.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.990)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.990) out of 10 for General Day 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.990 for General Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (285 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 288 Ratings = 4.99
  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 General Day Nursery is based on 24 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2, which has been reached with 24 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.
