Esscroft is a fabulous nursery. We know we are extremely lucky that our daughter and son are able to attend. It has a magical environment, the greatest of all outdoor and indoor spaces with caring and nurturing staff. We wouldn’t consider any other nursery. Every need is met and more - our children
love their nursery days.

What a place! The staff are well experienced and so friendly. The setting is second to none with amazing facilities and lots to do, so many toys, bird watching area, extensive grounds, tennis court the list goes on. Homecooked balanced meals and healthy snacks. It really is amazing and I'll be sad for
my daughter to leave for school.

Esscroft has and is providing a wonderful start in life for my two daughters. The focus is on fun and play and lots of outdoor activity (when the Great British weather allows!), within a well structured and balanced early years framework. Both my daughters have established real bonds with their key
carers and with their peers. They are thriving and it's great how the Esscroft team involve us as parents in our daughters' development and provide several opportunities during the year for us to get involved. The Esscroft summer party is legendary and a fixture on our calendar.

My son has attended Esscroft since September 2017. I started looking for alternatives to the traditional nursery that my children had attended. I began to look at pre-schools but needed longer hours and all year round childcare that many do not offer. As soon as I visited Esscroft and met the team I
knew it was the right place for my son. The facilities are outstanding. My son is an outdoors-loving child and I was amazed by the grounds and play area. The staff are friendly, experienced and caring. As a GP my work commitments can be unpredictable which mean childcare needs can change. Esscroft has always helped to accommodate this. It was definitely the right choice. My son runs in and loves his days there. I no longer feel guilty leaving him as I know he enjoys it so much. My elder child asks why she didn’t go here! I could not recommend Esscroft highly enough. If you are looking for outstanding quality childcare and something a little different I would urge you to take a look.

My daughter has attended the nursery for the last two years. She is thrilled to go every week and is disappointed for me that I can’t go! The nursery has a caring family feel and the staff go the extra mile for the children. Although the necessary paperwork is completed caring for and educating the
children is the priority.
My daughter has been taught a huge amount by the nursery in terms of education and has had fabulous experiences in the settings wide grounds. The setting has numerous rooms for play and education and a wide variety of outdoor spaces that the nursery uses to the full.
Visiting Esscroft is a must. No description could do it justice!

My daughter and now my son have attended Esscroft spanning the last three years, and if I had another child I would send them here as well. My children love the outdoor space, and the owner and the staff work so hard to ensure the children are having fun.

I would like to say that this is a lovely nursery. I take my granddaughter in 2 days a week and she runs in saying bye bye granny.
She is a happy little 2 and a half-year-old and she is thriving in this setting.
I am full of admiration for the staff in every aspect within the nursery.

this review as I believe in giving credit where it is due. People are quick to complain about things so it feels good to give praise.

- The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 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:
- 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.971 for Esscroft Private Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (198 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.971
-
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 4.925 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Esscroft Private Nursery is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
- 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.925
- 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1
- When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
- If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
