Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Moved my son here from another nursery almost 2 months ago and he absolutely loves it. The difference in nurseries is like chalk and cheese. My son happily goes in on a morning and always comes out with a smile on his face. I find the app gets updated frequently throughout the day which I love so I
know how his day is going. Staff are always so friendly and provide lots of feedback on drop off or pick up. Could not recommend them enough just wish I moved him sooner.

My daughter has been attending the nursery for nearly 9-months now and can not fault them. I had never used child care before until my daughter and was very anxious about leaving her as she was very clingy and has a bad skin condition, but got to say, it's the best thing I did as she is coming on amazingly
and it's with the help of the staff. They have helped every step of the way and always keep you informed of anything at any point. They are an amazing team, and my daughter loves it. All smiles and excitement when she gets to that door on a morning…bonus.

My son has a few disability’s, and the nursery staff have been amazing with him. From extra training to supporting him, to constantly reassuring and supporting us as parents too. Staff are always excited to see my son when he arrives. They are also confident with caring for his needs.

My little girl attends Spring Nursery Leam Lane, and she’s bloomed since starting. She’s been there a few weeks, and we’ve noticed such a change; she’s more sociable and is more into trying new foods! As she’s a very fussy child. The nursery helps and supports my daughter; they’re a lovely team! They
post weekly photos and comments, which are lovely to read, and nice to see she enjoys her time at spring nursery. Would 100% recommend Spring Nursery Leam Lane!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been going to the nursery since 9-months-old. She suffers from intolerances, and the nursery has been brilliant with putting my worries at ease. She has developed great bonds with the staff at the nursery and enjoys her time spent there. All the nursery staff are friendly, helpful and
will go above and beyond to support me as a parent when leaving my daughter in their care. The nursery really does care about their children, and for me, as a mother really means a lot.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Spring Leam Lane has been absolutely amazing. My little boy started only speaking a few words, and now he doesn’t stop talking. He has absolutely thrived, and that’s down to the amazing help and support he has had. The love and care have been second to none, every single member of staff are incredible.
Thank you so, so much, we have loved his time here, and he will miss you all. If you’re looking for a nursery for your little one, then this is by far the best. Good luck to all of you for the future, and thank you again from the bottom of my heart.

My grandson goes to this nursery, he has come on amazing since going here. The staff are amazing and always helpful; they are brilliant with the children, nothing is a bother to them. They are so pleasant when you go in, (can't go in now because of covid), but even with all this going on around, they
are still pleasant and sociable when they greet you at the door. Well done girls, and keep up the brilliant work all of you. Highly recommend this nursery for your young ones.

My daughter began attending the nursery in September 2020 and has settled in very quickly thanks to the attentive and friendly staff team. All activities provided have been age-appropriate and helped embrace my daughter's skills and interests, as well as tracking her development. She loves attending
and gets excited to go in each day. Staff and management are approachable and professional.

My 2 older children went to the nursery from aged 2, and my youngest started Sept 2020 just 10-months-old. The staff were great helping him settle in and taking the time for him to get to know them. He loves going in, and I love the updates on the app of his progress, and the activities he gets involved
with. I would certainly recommend the nursery.

Great nursery and great resources, We have had a bit of a rollercoaster the past year, but the manager and her team have been absolutely brilliant this past month, especially with Covid. Whenever we have any questions, the response is always so quick and reliable.

My son has been attending the nursery now for 1-year, and I couldn't have chosen a better place for him to start in. He's coming on great with his talking since he joined. I also love the fact that we are updated daily on the family website with pictures of our little ones.

I can't fault this nursery one bit; my daughter only started at the end last year, and she has come on leaps and bounds. Her development has progressed lovely all thanks to the help staff have given. Always polite when talking to you, if need anything, they contact you ASAP with updates all the time.
Such a calm setting no matter how hectic it is with kids running riot. Thanks, girls.

Absolutely amazing setting only surpassed by their outstanding staff. We moved our son from a school nursery to Spring and were incredibly anxious but the entire staff have worked with our son and ourselves to make sure he settled in lovely. His speech is coming on brilliantly and unlike the school
nursery he loves going. I love the child-led and empathetic approach all the staff embody.

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.
