This has been like my daughter's second home for the last two years. She has been well looked after and has made some great friends. Cannot fault anyone here, a big special thanks to one staff member in particular who has given my child so much care and has helped her grow into such a confident little
girl. It's such a warm and welcoming place for children. I would highly recommend.

My little has gone all the way through nursery, from being a little baby to a big school leaver! I can’t thank staff enough for all of the time, patience, understanding and dedication that they have shown not just to my boy, but to me as a parent also. I’m so grateful that they’ve all played such a
huge part in his journey and we’ll be incredibly sad to go! They’re all worth their weight in gold!

My middle child attended Spring Nursery Leam Lane, and my youngest son has been there for a year after previously attending a different setting.
I highly recommend the nursery. I know my son is safe there and well looked after. The staff are friendly, approachable, and always have my child’s best interests
at heart. The nursery uses an app which allows parents to see what their child has been learning.

Very personal care for each individual child's needs, with varied, stimulating activities that promote the child's independence and development. Fantastic meal choice that opens a child's mind to trying new foods. Friendly, open staff that relay information well through the app or in person.

The nursery has been amazing in providing support for both me and my children. They’ve been very attentive to all the delayed development needs my child has and provided extra help and advice. I feel very welcomed during drop-offs and picks ups. The staff are all lovely, and my children are very happy
to see them. They have learned loads since joining, and they provide an amazing range of activities, from outdoor play to sensory activities. I feel very happy knowing all their needs are being met. I’d highly recommend the nursery.

Lovely and warming staff. So great with my little girl. She loves going into the nursery. They keep you up to date with everything, i.e. nappy changes, what food they have eaten, and activities they do. I sent my oldest here when she was younger, and she loved it also. Definitely recommend.

I have my 2-year-old son in Springs Nursery Leam Lane, and I can say he absolutely loves it. He loves his teachers. He loves doing any activity and also loves the food. He has come on so well with his speech; he’s only been there for about five months, and his speech is soo clear. The teachers are lovely
and great with him and the other children. Would 100% recommend this nursery - couldn’t fault them at all.

Since my child has started Spring Nursery, it has brought them on leaps and bounds and is also teaching them how to interact with other children.
I’m very happy with the nursery and the progress of my child.

Lovely nursery! My little boy has been at Spring Leam Lane for almost a year now. The staff were amazing and helped him settle in straight away; I was able to return to work knowing he was in great hands. He has come on so much since starting and looks forward to going! I love seeing the updates on
the nursery app and seeing what he gets up when he's there! Couldn't recommend this nursery enough!

Excellent nursery. My son was very shy and quiet when he started at two years old. He could have started a nursery in a school six months ago but decided to keep him here, as the staff have really brought him out of his shell. He is much more confident now, and I have seen a huge difference in him;
he really enjoys going in every morning. The staff are great. I would highly recommend this nursery to people.

My 20-month-old son has now been at this nursery since July 2022. He found it quite upsetting at first to be separated from me as I had been with him every day, but back to work, I had to go. He absolutely loves it now and seems excited to go. The staff are so lovely and caring, and the facilities are
great; there are lots of activities to keep the little ones entertained. Staff keep you updated with what your child has been doing throughout the day and what they have had to eat. I would recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking.

The staff at the nursery are great - nothing is too much trouble. I'm well updated throughout my children's days at the nursery, both through the app and verbally upon collection.
The staff are friendly as well as very professional and have helped me to settle as well as my children.
My daughters
have specific dietary requirements, which the nursery has been able to fulfil and, in some respects, have exceeded my expectations on managing these.
I can only highly recommend the nursery, and I'm sure my children would agree!

Such a lovely nursery. My son started in July for two-and-a-half day sessions, and he absolutely loved it, so I have recently put him up to four days. The staff are amazing, so welcoming and friendly, and the communication keeps you involved throughout the day, including what your child has done and
eaten etc. I was really hesitant about putting my son into the nursery, but I feel at ease knowing he is safe and being cared for amazingly in the nursery. He has come on so much since starting.

We have had such an amazing experience with this nursery. First of all, we had a visit where my daughter could have a look around, and I could see where she's would be spending her time. I filled in the paperwork, and they went into great detail regarding her in order to really get to know her. All
the staff have taken the time to welcome and settle her, who is known for not liking new surroundings and people. They have listened to and respected what I think would work to settle her, and we've worked together to which she is now freely entering and playing alongside others. The nursery has a large range of areas and toys accessible to all children. It is very clean and well maintained. I look forward to seeing how ivy will grow in this nursery.

Amazing daycare and amazing staff. My little girl loves going and always comes out smiling and happy with a new song, nursery rhyme and story. She loves all the staff, but one lady seems to be her favourite, and she talks about her a lot at home. I love that I can leave her knowing that the people looking
after her genuinely do care for her. Recommend 100 per cent.

My little girl started this nursery last year, and she absolutely loves it! She goes running in with a huge smile on her face every time. It has been amazing seeing how much she has developed since she started. The staff are brilliant and always communicate effectively. It’s lovely to get updates and
photos on the app of what she has been getting up to while at nursery. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone! Can’t thank you all enough.

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.
