Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son currently goes to Cliff House and my daughter went until she started school. I can’t fault it at all. The staff are all amazing especially 2 in particular who have always been amazing with both of my children and the manager always goes above and beyond. I couldn’t wish for a better nursery for
my little lad to go to more so with this crazy world we are in at the moment they make you feel comfortable knowing that your child will be safe. Thank you Cliff House.

All 3 of my children have been to Cliff House and I wouldn't have sent them anywhere else. The staff there are amazing. My 3 year old loves going and is always tired out after half a day. I would highly recommend Cliff House to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Lovely nursery, I was worried about my daughter starting nursery as she has never been away from me or her daddy so I thought it would be hard for her but the staff put my mind at ease and my daughter loves it. Sometimes when I pick her up on the way home she asks if she can go back to nursery. The
garden area seems amazing which is good for my daughter as she loves being outdoors. There seems a wide variety of things for all the age groups to do. Since attending the nursery I feel like my daughter has come on so much and it’s really bringing her little personality out. I love the online portal which updates me through the day with what my daughter is getting up to, it’s lovely to see her with the other children having fun. Everyone is so lovely, I definitely recommend this nursery.

I was originally suggested putting both my boys into this nursery by my sister in law who’s little girl went there, so I knew it would be good. When my boys first started my eldest was 2 and the youngest was 7 months old, and they just went above and beyond to make sure both of my boys enjoyed their
day and made them feel welcome. They had a trial day with me and their dad there then another with just them and they loved it. I have never worried about either of my boys when they’re there as I can see that all the staff care for all of these children. I can not thank the staff enough for how they’ve treated both my boys and cared for them.

I'm so glad I moved my boy here from another nursery. He has come on loads and loves nursery so much he wants to go on weekends! The staff are amazing, always happy and helpful. It's been a tough year due to this pandemic and they've given 10000% into the care of the children. I would recommend this
nursery to anyone. Well done everyone for playing a vital part.

Review from Chelsea P (Mother of Child) published on 7 May 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My little boy started a few months ago after having bad experiences with other well-known nurseries. Cliff House has been amazing, my son comes home happy every night and has become such a confident individual. Before starting Cliff House he would cry every morning at his last setting and this led him
to become anxious. The staff at Cliff House are amazing, they helped him settle in and they are amazing with him. I couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you very much.

My daughter loves going to Cliff House Nursery and has come on in leaps and bounds. She talks about her key workers all the time and the staff are all really friendly. I love the parent portal that I can view when I like which shows what she has been doing and I can even put things on to share with
the nursery too. My daughter is definitely excelling in many areas since going to nursery here.

Cliff House is an outstanding nursery. Our daughter has been going since she was 6 months old and is now 2 years old. She loves going to learn and play with her friends. She has grown into a bright, clever, happy little person and we can't thank the staff enough for all their time and help. We would
and have 100% recommended Cliff House to our friends.

I was recommended to Cliff House by a close friend. My daughter has been in the toddler room and baby room. I have never had a problem with my daughter's care and I have found the staff really friendly and reliable.

I removed my daughter from a different nursery a year ago and I decided to bring her to Cliff House Nursery. Since she has been at this nursery she has grown so much and gained lots of confidence. My daughter is now in preschool which she loves and enjoys thoroughly.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.304)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.304) out of 10 for Cliff House Nursery & Pre-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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 Cliff House Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 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 3.304 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cliff House Nursery & Pre-School is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.2 = 0.179
  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.
