My third child attends this setting, as did my 2 older children and I would highly recommend it. I am quite an anxious parent when it comes to trusting others caring for my children but the staff here offered reassurance and I felt that my children were all safe and cared for. The staff listen to you
and they really get to know your children. They offer lots of cuddles and really help with settling them in, they support with transitions and support the child's home routine as much as possible when they first start, I.e with naps etc. If you have any worries management are very approachable and listen well and they are not defensive at all and really unpick an issue and want to help however they can. It is really refreshing. My child has a great time and has lots of opportunities to learn with extra things too like visits from police and fire brigade and trips out too to the cinema and the ice cream parlour. It's a fab nursery.

This is the second nursery our eldest has attended due to us relocating. We were worried we wouldn't find anywhere as good as her first nursery, but our fears were totally unfounded, this place is even better.


We couldn't be happier leaving our kids in the care of the Emmy Jaynes team. The staff

here are caring, supportive, nurturing, helpful, knowledgeable, adaptable to each child's needs and routines. The room teams, office staff, and management always make time for us to ask advice and never make us feel that this is in any way an imposition. Both our kids have smiles on their faces at drop off and pick up. They continually learn new knowledge and skills as a result of the staffs attention to individual abilities, the nurserys indoor and outdoor environments, and the experiences provided here.

My son loves coming to nursery at Emmy Jaynes! He is very excited to get in and see all his friends, he asks 'am I staying at our home today or going to nursery home?' which is so lovely to know he's so comfortable he feels its like another home to him. He loves all the staff and tells me they're his
friends. It makes the mum guilt of sending him to nursery so much easier when I know he genuinely enjoys it. All staff seem really attentive and caring, they have been great about his dairy intolerance and really supportive and encouraging for him when he got his glasses recently. Thank you! :)

Have had the best experience with my two children. The nursery staff are so professional yet care for my children like they are their own. It definitely helps with 'mum guilt' knowing my boys are having so much fun and coming on in their development. It's helped us all as a family because we can do
our jobs knowing our children are happy, and come home to two content children (who sleep!!).

Emmy Jayne's nursery has competent, friendly and caring staff that have looked after our son wonderfully since he started in July this year. It is a great nursery for playing and learning and they monitor the children's development carefully and keep the parents well informed about how their child is
doing. They have great facilities for the children, both indoors and outdoors and our son enjoys every minute of playing and learning at Emmy Jayne's.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my daughter has been at Emmy Jayne's (started there at 10 months and is now coming up 3 yrs) she has been cared for and looked after to an extremely high standard. The care offered is tailored very much around each child; their personality, their learning style, the emotional support they need.
One of the main reasons for choosing this nursery for my daughter was the health and well-being aspects; the healthy food options, the outdoor play, brushing of teeth routines.

Since the first time I walked into this nursery I knew it was right for my son. The staff are incredibly caring and friendly, my son smiles all day and is busy having fun from the moment I drop him off. He eats near enough all the lovely food provided! I feel that both me and my son have a great relationship
with his nursery workers. I don't have a single negative thing to say!

Emmy Jayne's is a fantastic nursery that was recommended to us and I have happily recommend it to others. Both of our children have been and have thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff genuinely care and it appears more than just a job. Both children have different characters and needs and both have been
equally well looked after. The children love going and there cannot be a much better recommendation than that.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child is extremely happy and confident at Emmy Jaynes Nursery. He is obviously treated well and given lots of opportunities to learn through play. However more importantly to me, he is obviously cared for by the staff and in particular his key worker. They know his small foibles and personality traits
and how to draw the best out of him.
I was recommended to look at Emmy Jaynes Nursery by other friends & I would recommend them to others without reservation (and have done).

Emmy Jaynes Nursery is an outstanding facility, recognised by Ofsted, but experienced by us. My children are as happy there as they are at home, with amazing staff who take pride in knowing and caring for all the children not just their key children. It is warm and welcoming, calm and cozy, and overall
a pleasure to be a part of. Thank you x

This is a fantastic nursery, all the staff are amazing with the children and parents. My daughter has been here for 2 years and the transformation in her confidence has been astounding, this can be wholly attributed to the hard work and care of all the practitioners that have looked after her. Couldn't
be happier with the care and overall guidance she has received here. Would highly recommend Emmy Jaynes Nursery School to parents thinking of nurseries, you won't regret it!

My daughter started this nursery in September and she loves it, she can be unsettled when dropped off but the staff are brilliant with her. She comes home with stories of her day, new songs and such. There is so much to keep the children entertained. We are always very well informed of her day, meals,
nappies changed etc. We feel very much at ease with the nursery. There isn't a way in which we can fault it.

Lovely nursery. Our son goes twice a week and thoroughly enjoys himself. The nursery is an extremely safe environment with the staff showing genuine kindness and affection to the children they are caring for. There is a commitment to the children's development and an appreciation from the staff that
all the children are individual and develop at different stages. The management team are professional yet approachable.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.967)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.967) out of 10 for Emmy Jayne's 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 6 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 Emmy Jayne's Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (72 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 72 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 3.967 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Emmy Jayne's Nursery School is based on 6 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 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 = 3.55
    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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.417
  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.
