Review from A M (Mother of Child) published on 27 November 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at Heathside Day Nursery since she was 11 months old and she's now 3. From day one she has loved it and continues to. The hot meals are lovely and the app used by the nursery lets me know what she has eaten throughout the day and what activities she has done via pictures. The outdoor
space and amenities are brilliant. It's the staff at Heathside that make the family-friendly feel and it gives me comfort whilst at work that my daughter is being fantastically looked after.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have had 2 children go to Heathside Day Nursery and both have been very much cared for by staff here. Both have been happy for the duration. The staff genuinely care and have been nothing but amazing. They are very attentive and helpful. The boys have loved playing in the large garden at the back.
My eldest still shares happy memories from his time here, having left 3 years ago. Would highly recommend.

I have been associated with the nursery for the past ten years. All three of my children have attended Heathside Day Nursery and I cannot fault them. Lovely friendly staff, caring and I have been more than happy to leave my babies here. Initially concerned over the takeover, however, my concerns were
very rapidly put at ease. I would and do recommend Heathside to family and friends.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son goes to this nursery and he has come on so much, he learns new things every day. He’s always got a story to tell me from nursery, he absolutely loves it. He especially loves the lady who looked after him in the baby room from when he started at 9 months old, they have a lovely bond together.
All the staff are lovely and look after him like he’s their own, and are always happy to help or answer any questions I may have. They also have an app to keep up to date with what they have eaten and done that day which I find really good. I love seeing pictures of him on there, I can’t wait for my second baby to start in a few months.

Review from Geraldine F (Mother of Child) published on 26 November 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has been attending Heathside Nursery since January 2020 and I could not have asked for a more welcoming and friendly nursery. I chose Heathside because of the trained and experienced staff, the safe and clean environment and especially for my own feeling I got when leaving my child in their
care.
My child goes in every morning happy and excited for the day ahead and gets excited with whoever gets the door.
The staff are welcoming and friendly, they are very approachable if I have any questions or queries. I love the app that is used, as I get to see the activities my child is doing, the food she eats and is a great source of communication if you're a busy parent. I love that my child plays in the big garden on all the equipment and especially that she gets to see the local wildlife.
Highly recommended.

Review from Vicky R (Mother of Child) published on 26 November 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Heathside Nursery and staff have been outstanding, having had both children attend Heathside we have found the staff to be so welcoming, homely and most importantly nurturing. We can't thank you enough for all you do. With lots of changes recently the standard of care has remained and the new app allows
us to see what our little ones are up to which is so reassuring knowing they are happy and safe.

Review from Claire P (Mother of Child) published on 26 November 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been a part of the Heathside family since 2016. Both of our girls started at Heathside before their first birthdays and have gone through all rooms. We couldn't recommend Heathside enough. The staff's dedication and care to the children is unquestionable. We trust the staff wholeheartedly. Each
room is spacious and the outside space is outstanding and is used regularly throughout the year. We will miss Heathside very much when our youngest daughter leaves to start school next year. Outstanding nursery.

Very friendly staff, informative, and my child loves going every day. I’ve not been able to go into the nursery due to Covid restrictions but the outside facilities are brilliant and what children need alongside learning basics at that age.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. It was really difficult to get my little boy to settle at a nursery but with the help of the staff he has really started to enjoy going. The app is great as we get to see pictures and to know what he’s doing throughout the day. The staff are fantastic and I will
be recommending this nursery to family and friends.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I've had both my boys at Heathside nursery. My first son started back in 2012, he was there full-time and been through all rooms, my younger son started back in 2016, and has gone through all rooms as well. They both loved going to the nursery; the staff are lovely and very friendly. They both really
enjoyed the great outdoor space. They always seem to be happy to be there, which is really nice to know.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our son has attended this nursery since he was 8-months-old. He loves going each day, and his development has been great. The staff are lovely and caring, and our son loves telling us about his day and what he has done. The addition of an app has been useful in seeing daily updates, and they have also
started including pictures which are great to see!
Reply from Linzie Goff, Manager at Heathside Nursery

The app is a great new tool and we are glad you like it.
Thanks, The Heathside Team

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.962)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.962) out of 10 for Heathside 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 4.962 for Heathside Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (279 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 288 Ratings = 4.962
  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 Heathside 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 43 number of registered child places is 8.6, 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.
