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.
Reply from Laura Lawson, Nursery Manager at Spring Nursery Leam LaneThank you, that really does mean a lot. Your family will always have a special place in all of our hearts.

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.

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.

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.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.905)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.905) 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 38 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 38 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 4.905 for Spring Nursery Leam Lane is calculated as follows: ( (414 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 452 Ratings = 4.905
  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 38 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 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 38 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.
