I have had 2 children come through this nursery and couldn't recommend it more. Both children love it and I've never had any issues. They are well looked after, always clean and well-fed upon collection, security is high and both children came on loads thanks to their keyworkers.

Review from Sihle M (Mother of Child) published on 22 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter was five months when she started and I was worried about her being left so young. The staff were absolutely brilliant in helping and getting her settled. She has turned one and is now going full time. When I leave her in the morning and wave goodbye, she waves back blowing kisses at me!
It settles my mind knowing that I can go to work aware she will be fine. The app they use is brilliant, as you are updated on what's happening. Most importantly, it's the time that they give you at the end of the day to update you on how she has been. The management team is very accommodating and flexible where you need it. It's an excellent nursery, with brilliant staff!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Being entitled to 30 hours free childcare, and my little girl not getting a place at a school, I applied for Spring as she was ready for nursery. She was a bit scared at first but thanks to her key worker and all the staff she built confidence quickly and settled in without a hitch and loves it! Would
recommend to anyone looking for childcare.

Mu grandson took time to settle in, but with the commitment of the staff he soon settled down. He has been there for nearly a year and loves it, it's like a big family but with professionalism from the staff. We will be sad when he leaves, but school is calling. Thank you so much to all the staff and
may your nursery shine for many years and give the children a positive start in life.

Review from Kylie K (Mother of Child) published on 14 June 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff here have been extremely helpful with meeting all of my daughter's additional needs. From the start of her time here when she was undiagnosed and since her ASD diagnosis, they have gone above and beyond to ensure my child’s needs were met. Very friendly, understandable and approachable but
always professional and thorough. My child greatly enjoys her time at the nursery. She took a long time to settle in but the staff were very patient and persevered with her and her needs as well as her challenging behaviour at times.
Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

My child has been attending this nursery since 9 months old 5 days a week. She has come on leaps and bounds. All staff are hands-on, providing a wide range of age and ability appropriate activities. Staff are warm, welcoming, putting the needs of the children first. Lots of verbal feedback is given
at the end of each day as well as feedback during the day via the Famly app they use. Would highly recommend!

Lovely Nursery. Very warm and welcoming. My Daughter found starting nursery very tricky however with the help of her key worker she settled in well and always enjoys nursery. Her key worker is always helpful and approachable to reassure my child. Another staff member is also one of her favourites and
again is lovely. Thank you to all the girls.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little girl has been going for 2 years now. I chose to keep her in there, rather than a mainstream nursery, as she loved it so much, she loves all the staff but has 2 favourites. She has learnt so much and has turned into a confident little girl. They even worked with me to potty train her. Staff
in all 3 rooms are lovely.

My son has just started, he loves every minute. We can see a difference in him already, staff have been fantastic from his induction days to the present, very friendly easy to talk to. My wife and I were nervous at first leaving him but we needn’t have worried. Anyone looking to put their child into
a day nursery I couldn’t recommend this one enough, they also have an app on which you can see your child's progress, which is great.

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.
