Review from M M (Mother of Child) published on 1 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
The manager is extremely rude and unprofessional. I have had incidents where my child has come home and told me teachers have been swearing, children are hitting her and nothing is being done about it. I tried contacting her and she decided not to respond to my emails. I would not recommend this place
unless there's a recent Ofsted report.

I am so happy that I send my son to this nursery. He's really, really come along and the staff definately help with some things that we try to do at home and encourage him. Staff also engage well with me and tell me what and where my child is up to. Can’t wait to send my youngest there soon.

Great fully-trained, skilled staff. Lots of activities and events throughout. The team always informed in advance, also great handover on each day at pick ups. School House is a great starting place for my child. The key worker is brilliant, explaining about development on a regular basis, very professional
and kind staff.

I am very happy with the nursery. My little one is always learning new things every week. They also do lots of extra activities with the children, which I think is great and all the staff go above and beyond.

My son absolutely loves going to nursery. His development has come on so much since he started back in May and the staff are all such lovely people. I was really nervous to go back to work but the nursery kept me well informed of my son's progression throughout each day putting me quickly at ease. I’d
recommend School House any day of the week - an all-around amazing nursery.

I recently attended the valentines tea with my son from pre-school. It was a lovely atmosphere for all the children and parents to get together after such a long time. The nursery has made a lot of effort with the food, decorations and activities for the children. We had a great time.

My son has been going to School House Nursery for just over six months now. He has settled in well and really enjoys going. He is learning new things all the time! The management is very flexible and accommodating, and all the team are very friendly and approachable. I would highly recommend School
House Nursery to others.

My daughter has been at School House for 3-years, and I have been very pleased with her care in that time. The staff are professional, friendly and caring, and I know that they all want the best for her. She has the opportunity to do a wide range of activities and develop her social skills too. I have
recommended the nursery to friends, and my baby will start there too in the next few months.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My second child has just started at School House Nursery. Being only 14-months, he has settled in really well. The care, attention and communication are excellent. All my queries are responded to immediately, this gives me peace of mind being a full time working mum of 2 and having minimum face to face
contact with the nursery. My eldest child also attended this nursery, and she loved it. The extra activities such as swimming are great for the development of the children. My eldest now loves attending swimming lessons, and it gave her great confidence in the pool. The nursery is always clean and always welcoming, which is why I knew I would send my second child here too. I would always choose this nursery. The staff are brilliant and very accommodating to your needs.

This is the third nursery I have used since having children and is by far the best. My little girl is forever engaged in various activities every day. This has helped her development dramatically. She has recently had her 2-year development review at the local children’s centre. They were amazed by
her development for her age, of course, I explained I owed a lot of credit to her nursery for it. This is definitely the best nursery around, and my daughter loves going and has bonded with all of her carers.

I’ve sent all three of my children to School House over the past nine years. My youngest is about to enter the pre-school room, and we will be extremely sad to leave next July. I couldn’t recommend the nursery enough. The staff are amazing. They go over and beyond for the children. Always doing a range
of activities that look fun.
Thank you.

Current Review Score: 7.0 (6.956)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.0 (6.956) out of 10 for School House Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 3.7 out of 5 from 3 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 3.667 for School House Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (22 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 3.667
  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 3.289 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for School House Nursery 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 61 number of registered child places is 12.2. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.2 = 0.164
  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.
