My little boy has been at this nursey since April 2021 and it's absolutely fabulous. Such a fantastic nursey, he has come on leaps and bounds since starting and has become so confident and has learnt so much being here.

Fantastic nursery! My daughter loves the staff and enjoys going every time. She's been there since being 1 year old and is approaching 4 now.
Lots of effort is put into keeping you updated with pictures and reports so that you can see your child learning and enjoying themselves.
Highly recommended.

My son has gone to Kalgarth Grange Nursery School for 4 years. I couldn’t thank all the staff enough for all their help. From day one I felt so comfortable in leaving him in such good care. He has come on so much over the years and is ready for school soon. He has so much fun and always comes out with
a big smile telling me all the things he has done. If Kalgarth Nursery was a school he would definitely be staying. I couldn’t recommend them enough. All the staff are so friendly and polite.
Thank you so much for all your help and advice over the years.

My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since attending Kalgarth Grange Nursery School. Staff go above and beyond and are so caring. Every child we meet from nursery is so confident.
My daughter loves nursery and all of her teachers. She knows more maths than some Reception children and they do phonics
too!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended Kalgarth Grange for four months, and she absolutely loves it. From the moment she began coming, I felt completely at ease leaving her with the staff, who are nothing short of wonderful! They are so welcoming, very well-trained and my daughter adores each and every one of them.
They have supported me as a first-time mum going back to work, and I cannot fault them at all. I especially love how the staff ensure that each and every child is a part of their nursery family. My little girl has come on leaps and bounds since starting.
The nursery itself is just lovely - clean, well-kept and displays are always up to date. The staff do so many activities with the children each week and put in a lot of effort into making each day fun and exciting. The kitchen staff do an excellent job of providing healthy meals that my daughter really enjoys too. I am very happy that my little girl attends this nursery - I would highly recommend Kalgarth Grange to any parent!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son is almost four and has attended this nursery since he was 9 months old. We love him going to this nursery. The staff are all wonderful. We have genuinely never had any issues at all with the care our son receives. He is always doing lovely activities, learning new things and we have a very good
open relationship with the staff and key workers. The food our son eats is always of a good variety and a good standard (sometimes a bit jealous if I am honest).
If we have ever had any questions about our son's development or behaviour or needed advice and support then the nursery have been there.
We are expecting our second child in 2023 and we will also be registering them a place at Kalgarth. We wouldn’t trust anybody else.

Both of my girls attend this nursery since moving into the area earlier this year. They have been nothing short of amazing with both of them. My eldest has made so many new friends and is learning so much, she tells me something new each day she comes home, she is always happy to tell me about her day
and always looks forward to going back the next day. My youngest has grown so much more confident since joining and is now talking so much more and putting sentences together. We really did make the best choice joining this nursery! They go above and beyond for the children and always have time to speak to the parents!

My son has attended Kalgarth Grange Nursery School since he was 1 year old, he’s now 3.5. I can’t recommend this nursery enough. The staff and facilities are great. I never feel worried about leaving him when I drop him off even when he is moving up rooms. I receive regular app updates on his progression
with pictures. The meals they provide are amazing and he always eats everything! I can see his develop week by week. Thank you to the manager and the team!

My baby has been at Kalgath for nearly 6 months, from being a small baby, and is in the baby class. She has come on leaps and bounds and all the staff are so supportive. They communicate exceptionally and ensure my baby is cared for safely. Can honestly say I made the best choice and I'm glad she will
get to spend her first years there. They let me know about any bumps or issues, keep me updated and ensure her welfare.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been at Kalgarth since he was 8 months. All the staff are excellent with the children and the facilities are extensive. Both the baby room and the toddler room have loads of different areas and the staff always prep different activities, even for the tiny babies. There is a large outside
play area too which they seem to use frequently. My son has an allergy and a medical condition so I was very nervous about him starting nursery, however, I needn't have worried. He eats better than I do and the procedures in place to train everyone for his medical condition were excellent! Kalgarth isn't the closest nursery to us but it's well worth the drive.

My son has been in the baby room since he was 6 months and he’s come on leaps and bounds! He honestly loves it, every time I drop him off he gets so excited to see the staff and when I pick him up he’s always so smiley, I can tell he’s just had a lovely time there. I can also tell the staff genuinely
love him and care about him. It makes my life so much easier to be able to go to work and know he’s having the best time with his friends and learning so much.

We enrolled our daughter here in January and it was the best thing we ever did. The nursery staff are so nice and welcoming. Our daughter absolutely adores them. Our daughter has advanced so much during her short stay here. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

My daughter has been coming to the nursery since she was 10 months old, she absolutely adores the caring and attentive staff they have there. I can't thank them from the bottom of my heart how much she has thrived. She will be leaving in September for 'Big School', and Kalgarth has moulded her into
this confident, sassy and loving little girl. She has had the best start in life at nursery, she will miss all the teachers lots and lots when she goes.

My little boy started at nursery in the baby room last month and has settled really well. I’ve been really impressed with how caring and helpful the staff have been, particularly the baby room manager, who my son seems to gravitate towards the most. I can’t thank them enough for putting my mind at ease
when dropping him off, given he’s had very limited social interaction with new people due to Covid-19.

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.
