My daughter has really settled in since September and loves coming to nursery. The staff are very kind and friendly and we are so happy with our experience so far. We can't wait to watch her grow and progress whilst here.

My son started here in September. He hadn't been to another nursery before I can honestly say it is an amazing nursery. The staff have helped him settle in so well. They are so caring, and attentive and the creative play they do with all the children is wow. 1st class service from management to staff.
Thank you.

I am very grateful to have my daughter in this nursery. They help her with all their skills to settle her and let her follow the routine, especially at the beginning. I love the app which lets us know what she had during the day and the observation they do. The staff are very helpful and lovely. Thank
you so much.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We've recently started bringing our daughter to this nursery. She is a child who was very rarely around children so when we decided to put her into nursery it was both daunting for us and also for her. The manager and the rest of the team there have been so patient with both us and my daughter, welcoming
and so friendly. My daughter is due to stay for full days in a couple of weeks but these past couple of months of visits have been so helpful and we are so happy with the progress she is making. Thank you so much!
Reply from Laura Lawson, Nursery Manager at Spring Nursery Leam Lane
Thank you so much for your kind words, we are so pleased you feel comfortable leaving your child in our care. We completely understand they are your world and it's a huge deal for parents.

We love our son’s nursery. It’s not just the staff in his room that are brilliant (though they are!), but the whole building too. Every member of staff makes such an effort to know each child. They are so attentive, letting you know about their day throughout, so you can check on the app regularly to
put your mind at ease.
Our son has come along in leaps and bounds since starting at Spring. He’s a walking, talking, happy little toddler. He loves his key workers and his friends. He looks forward to coming in each morning!
Reply from Laura Lawson, Nursery Manager at Spring Nursery Leam Lane
Thank you so much for the lovely comments, we appreciate them. Your little one is an absolute pleasure, always exploring, and is keen to take part in all of the lovely activities.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
At first, our little one struggled to go into sessions, each time staff have been patient and loving. In addition, I have found the communication to be great, I find the app fantastic and staff are always available.
Three months into our nursery journey and our little one has settled in well and they
are thriving and speak so fondly of workers.
The only downside is the parking.
We would recommend this nursery.

We are really happy with the nursery we chose for our son. He looks forward to going every day and the nursery staff are attentive, friendly, professional and communicative. He is totally safe and comfortable in their care and they have always communicated well, both in person and via the app. We felt
he was instantly part of 'the group' and he talks positively about nursery even when at home.

I can’t fault a single thing about this nursery. In the couple of years my son has attended I have never had any issues. The dedication from all staff is second to none and I can’t thank them enough for how much of a positive impact they have had on his development. I would recommend to anyone looking
for a nursery place. Vast range of activities and learning opportunities and always kept up to date with my son's progress, which is really important to me. Keep being the amazing people you are!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my youngest children have attended Spring Leam Lane and I can honestly say it’s been a joy to watch them flourish with the help of all of the staff, they’ve been introduced to so many new things and it has prepared them both amazingly for the transition into primary school. The staff have been
so accommodating and understanding and have really gone above and beyond for not only the children but our family as a whole and we’ve felt very well supported. I love the organisation of the setting and all of the opportunities the children receive including the stay and plays where you can engage with the children and staff and see how they thrive in the environment and how comfortable they are to be there.

My little girl has been coming here since June. I think, she was wary at first then got to love it, she just runs in now. She loves her key worker, and even though the key worker left her room she was sad, but with other staff members, they are reunited again she was so happy. She eats her dinners so
they must be good. Thanks to all the staff, they are so lovely and welcoming. Would recommend this nursery for your little ones. She has come on heaps being here.

Excellent nursery, my son looks forward to attending each week and loves telling us all about his day. The staff are great at keeping us informed with regards to what they have been getting up to and the app lets us know what he's had to eat, how many naps he's had etc.

This is the second time I have sent a child to this nursery. Great staff. They take concerns seriously and are very good at listening. They know they are the custodians for your kids and really look after them. They have bent over backwards to support dietary requirements and other traits. So grateful
to them all. It’s a well run and well managed place. All the staff are engaging and helpful. They really got to know my son! We will miss them. They work really hard.

My son started going to Spring Nursery Leam Lane after the Easter holidays in 2022 and his last day will be Friday this week. I have nothing but praise with my experience with them. The building is immaculately clean and has excellent facilities for nursery age children. All the staff are friendly and
brilliant with the children, especially my son's keyworkers. The nursery manager is lovely too. They all took great care of my son who can be quite difficult at times and is behind with his learning, but has come on leaps and bounds since starting Spring Nursery. I highly recommend Spring Nursery, my son was in safe hands throughout his time there.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.910)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.910) out of 10 for Spring Nursery Leam Lane is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.910 for Spring Nursery Leam Lane is calculated as follows: ( (350 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 379 Ratings = 4.91
  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 Spring Nursery Leam Lane is based on 32 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 74 number of registered child places is 14.8, which has been reached with 32 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.
