Staff are amazing. It really does feel like we are part of a family. Can't fault a thing. I feel that my daughter is well cared for and that the staff really get to know each individual child well. I feel completely at ease when my daughter is in the care of the nursery.

My Son started at Kalgarth Grange in January 2025 and cannot praise the staff and everything they do enough. Was the first time looking for a Nursery and I wasn't too sure what I would be looking for but immediately just stepping in, knew Kalgarth was the one. All the staff are so supportive and caring
and everything they do seems so effortless. Always some activities going on every week and my Son absolutely loves it here. Always runs to the door as soon as I mention we are going to Nursery. The food is fantastic with a wide ranging variety meals. Our son was difficult with food but since being at Kalgarth they have him eating all types. It's a great feeling dropping him off in the Morning knowing he's safe and will have another great day of exploring and having a lot of fun. Definitely recommend Kalgarth to every parent.

My daughter has settled so well in both the baby room and toddler room and this is down to the staff who are looking after her. The development has been amazing to see and I know my daughter is having the time of her life everyday she is in the care of the staff.
Whenever I drop off or collect my daughter
the smile on her face says it all.

Kalgarth Grange is a fantastic nursery and is like a supportive family! The staff are always so friendly and welcoming. There is always a happy and uplifting atmosphere. The staff are kind and caring giving the best nurture for all children. Both of my children love nursery and have made wonderful progress
academically and personally. The activities that the staff plan are fun and engaging, my children love bringing home things that they have made. The food is delicious, my children always eat their meals and quite often will have second helpings. If I have any questions, there is always someone available to talk to and they reply promptly to messages. I would highly recommend Kalgath Grange.

The nursery has been absolutely fantastic and it's credit to the great staff that work there.
My children have been in all 4 rooms and have enjoyed each. They are well looked after and have made some lovely friends! I have felt happy to drop my children off each morning and reassured that they are
in safe hands! It's not an easy task looking after young children but they do it so well. The communication is also very good. I would definitely recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have had my eldest child in nursery since July 2021 and my youngest started in November 2024. As an anxious mother I can not commend all the staff at Kalgarth for how at ease they have made myself and my children feel. Both my girls are excited when we drive into nursery and can't wait to go. I feel
like that's all you need as a mother. All staff are so loving, caring, fun and you can tell they are all so proud of their work and relationships with the children and parents.
My eldest starts school in September and I really want to praise how ready she is due to the practices she's been doing in nursery. Thank you to all the staff at Kalgarth you are all amazing!

I genuinely could not fault Kalgarth Grange and their staff. My son has been here since January and has come on so well. His social skills have improved, along with his physical development. You can tell how much the staff care for each child, and I really like how the management greet us as soon as
we walk in with a hello, I think that's a lovely touch. The staff are so welcoming and have a smile on their faces

The nursery is the perfect environment for our son to thrive. During the day they have plenty of activities. The meals have very good variety and are balanced it is a real credit to the nursery's kitchen personnel. The outdoor facilities gave a really good size and equipment. Our son really enjoys and
sometimes is difficult to take him home at the end of the day as he is really happy there. The communication is great providing a detailed handover sheet every day. There is always plenty of nursery staff in every room and they pay great attention to all the babies and toddlers. Thank you all for your great service and effort !!

I am really pleased with the quality of care my son receives. The staff are very friendly, always smiling and accommodating. Their professionalism is high quality, and I have noticed a signifiant positive response to the staff whenever I see my son around the staff. I feel at ease with him being in
nursery, and he thoroughly enjoys his time there and is developing really well.

My baby started in January and I can't praise the nursery enough they have been so lovely and supportive. The staff always have smiles on their faces. She has settled in really well and has the best time, she has made lovely bonds with the staff in baby room and has come on so much already. I always
receive a detailed description of what she has been upto during the day and recieve lovely photos. I honestly can't thank Kalgarth nursery enough and would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a warm and friendly atmosphere.

I can't thank Kalgrath nursery Warrington enough for all the work they do. All the staff at Kalgrath take so much care in making sure families feel comfortable from the induction to daily handovers. The nursery are always great with communication both via the app (events, messages), but also each day.
Being a first time parent, it was quite daunting leaving my daughter at nursery full time. But my little girl loves nursery and that is down to all the staff who look after her, the activities that are planned and the brilliant learning environment.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.977)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.977) out of 10 for Kalgarth Grange Nursery School 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 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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 4.977 for Kalgarth Grange Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (433 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 442 Ratings = 4.977
  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 Kalgarth Grange Nursery School is based on 37 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 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 37 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.
